Trump's brain is ACTUALLY deteriorating, like "clear signs of aphasia, beginning of Dementia" deteriorating. Experts are saying he's having clear trouble remembering basic words, pronunciation is all over, Venezuela as "VENALALUZER", dropping phrases and constantly mixing up names.

It would be a sad end if he wasn't one of the worst shitheads ever

They are really going to have their God Emperor of Mankind, in every way.

One of Alex Jones' favorite metaphors is that, during WW2, one of the ways bombers knew they were nearing an important target is that they'd start receiving anti-aircraft fire ("If they're shooting at you, it means you're over the target"). What this functionally translates to, as has been repeatedly pointed out by Knowledge Fight, is that he conflates recieving consequences for his actions with said actions being virtuous. If they're yelling at me for something that I said, then I must have touched a nerve, and the reason I touched a nerve is because I'm speaking truth to power, right?

That kind of attitude translates really neatly into thinking "By being racist I am rebelling against authority, because people are yelling at me for being racist". Just main character syndrome all the way down.

See also how the worst kind of person consistently quotes Tyrion talking about liars and tongues in Game of Thrones.

If he's incapacitated and has to be replaced by someone else in the GOP now, his base will NEVER believe it

They will think he has been captured by the DEEP STATE and being help somewhere. At least one chud in a cornfield will bleed out trying to save him

They will never vote for another candidate. They won't believe it's real. He's indoctrinated them too hard to only believe him. They will write him in anyway.

Let's put this generation argument to bed: [Decade I grew up and was young and carefree and the world was ahead of me and seemed less frightening] was objectively the best time period.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Boebert finally shuts the gently caress up. Her private life is a disaster and she’s about to lose the CO-4 primary (her current/home district being CO-3).

MTG is going to go full gorilla mode, though. Especially since Johnson told her not to, that pretty much all but guarantees it.

A GIANT PARSNIP posted:

This comes from a misunderstanding of how someone like Boebert thinks. She is going to lean into those behaviors even more to “control the narrative” or even simply as an outlet for her stress.

She is very much like trump in that she will never ever shut the gently caress up.

Trump's brain melting is why I want to see him debate Biden because even if Biden isn't quick witted he can keep his words together and if Trump becomes a bumbling mess on stage the LOLs will transcend time and space

He will stroke out on stage at a rally. He's going to have a "my arm is hurting my arm narm narm narm" and fall flat on his face.

His base will claim it's proof that he was chosen by God and he was called to Angel Status.


Quote me.

This is funny until you have a family member with dementia. This kind of thing often ends in domestic abuse and it's really sad to see it untreated.

One good thing about the 80s was that toxic masculinity was not nearly as entrenched as it is now. Sure we had Arnold Schwarzenegger but no one (at least in the circles I hung out with) considered him as anything but a living, breathing, cartoon. On the flip side, Hair/Glam Metal was huge even with proto-douchebros.

Donald Trump poo poo himself and collapsed on stage at a rally after repeating a slurred "Obamna" 20 times, but Joe Biden was caught eating an ice cream cone again. Here's why the presidential race is closer than ever.

I suspect Trump had some kind of health issue post-COVID and that’s part of why neither Biden’s DOJ nor McConnell felt like doing anything about him. There was even a point in either 2021 or 2022 where he was asked if he’d run again and he said something like, “it depends on the doctors.” He also lost a poo poo ton of weight in 2021 (and then gained it all back).

Just if the health issues persist and running a campaign literally ends up killing him.

you joke but I'm starting to think that there's a non-zero chance papers like the New York Times and Washington Post will endorse Trump.

Through this thread I have learned that we live fairly close. I actually saw Virginia Foxx at my polling place in 2016. I think it was 2016. It was early in the morning and since I live in the MAGAest county in NC, Yadkin, she started there and probably went west through the district during the day.
