Clarste posted:Isn't Blue State California by far the biggest producer of food anyway? Yeah it's California-Iowa-Nebraska-Texas-Kansas The cleanest possible civil war would be red counties vs blue counties though. In that case California is the one place where an actual Well-Organized Militia of yeehawdists could really gently caress a lot of people by cutting the water supply. Lucky for us they can't organize the occupation of a desert wildlife refuge. Of course in reality a second civil war would look like Syria, not a clean red vs blue divide, and we'd all be hosed.

Jagged Jim posted:no u This one has been tickling my brain all morning. What does this even look like? No judicial branch, no legislatures, just Trumpian fiat? MAGA tribunal rule at the local level (replete with patriotism testing and political imprisonment)? The piecemeal nationalization and Trump control of business that he doesn’t like or wants, media corporations but also pretty much anything is fair game? Trump designating his heir and all major decision making is by his family members? Edit: Also the complete lack of irony with the, “Trump doesn’t really want to annul the constitution, that’s just what they want you to think he said” takes when it’s exactly what he said and the only way he can get the thing he wants is to be appointed president is by discarding the constitution.

Murgos posted:This one has been tickling my brain all morning. What does this even look like? Unfortunately, the answer is pretty dull. It doesn't look like anything, because it's not actually a real suggestion. Trump's been stewing over his loss for two years, and he has decided that, actually, he won, and someone should fix that for him. He is so poor at trying to wield power that he just thinks someone should do this for him and... that's it. There's no clear name at the other end of 'someone' and the 'fix' is barely coherent. He's supplied the necessary ideas by saying to melt down all barriers to being acclaimed as the newborn king again. And that's the end of it. He's so intellectually incurious that he can't even supply the basic answer of "okay, so then what?", because to his mind it's obvious that you do stuff he wants and don't do stuff he doesn't want and that's it. "bigbob (z)" has little further elaboration available to him, but he at least isn't someone who was formerly at the very highest elected office of the US, so it's only silly in his case, not as pathetic.

There isn’t a single leadership bone in trumps body He just kept saying he wanted a big infrastructure bill, and then sat there getting mad that no such bill effortlessly materialized on his desk, so he'd say it again, and again, until it became a huge running joke. When you're the CEO of your own company, you just express your wishes and your underlings scramble to make it happen. Passing major congressional legislation doesn't work that way.

Judging from the Fox message boards, I feel like Trump's stock is at an all-time low. That said, he has bounced back from seemingly crippling things before. The Pub's just lost hard, so they're going to be eating their own for a bit. I have this sinking feeling the American Goldfish Memory will kick in pretty soon, and when the presidential poo poo ramps up he'll be back at the top. I still think a second Trump term would be less destructive than loving DeSantis.

quote:To: Hieronymus You know, if you assume Democrats = voters (a fair assumption given this person's likely other views) and replace some of the words with more neutral synonyms ("concede the House to the Democrats" and "vote Democrats into the house" are the same action from different emotional perspectives), this is a very accurate post. Wallace here has basically made their conspiracy theory perfectly parallel to reality to the point that they'd be indistinguishable from a neutral perspective. Wow that's really hosed up and kind of cool? Like they're not cool, but that it happened is a cool fact about the human brain.

A lot of them seem to have a problem with the idea that “demographic changes” (aka non-white people voting more) is somehow unfair. They won an election by getting more votes! That’s cheating!
