A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]

I would add to number 3, people that just don’t like to confront bad things. I have a female friend that is not dumb, but doesn’t want to be burdened by the realities of the world (I mean, wouldn’t we all?), so she feigns like she’s too dumb to be bothered. I know damn well she’s smart enough to understand and care, but she just doesn’t. It’s easier and less painful to pretend like none of this affects her. 
 

Im almost to this pint myself. Maybe she had it right all along. 

Even with everything I’ve seen and heard from political heavyweights, with how close we’ve come and still are, to losing our Republic.  I could get back on my Libertarian high horse and ride off with Gary Johnson and Nick Gillespie and leave you folks to wallow in this bullshit.  I’d buy some more guns and a lot more booze and live high until the end of days.  
 

but there’s two little girls who, for some idiotic reason, think I have it all figured out.  But there’s a 1 in 3 chance, and increasing, that I’ll be the old guy in the movie telling them and their generation how things used to be before the madness really took hold.  Hopefully I can be the scene in “good fellas” where I get to say, “you havE no idea how close to the brink we were.  Even if I could show you, you’d never believe me.”

In late 2019/early 2020…before any of us had ever heard of the coming global pandemic.  I posted (not sure which thread) that  Donald Trump would become gravely ill between the convention and the general election.  In October of 2020, due to a novel corona-virus, that is precisely what happened.  But for the exceptional medical care at Walter Reed, he very likely would have died.  

He is in a corner now and it will either put him on his deathbed or force him to do something more insane than all this other shit put together.  He’ll be gone soon enough.  Our new collective purpose should be what we do about what/who happens next.

The other day I had an intelligent woman talk like I was saying above. "Oh I just don't like either of them". Frustrating to say the least.

I threw out a few of Trump's greatest hits, liable in his rape case, legally prohibited from running a charity, coup attempt, 91 felony counts, etc. And then asked why she dislikes Biden equally. The answer I got had something to do with ice cream. I then changed the subject. 

What type of messaging will have impact on ice cream lady?

What type of messaging do you need if all the things you mentioned to her are common knowledge? The news and information couldn't be clearer on all of the hideous aspects of Donald Trump and the treasonous conspiracy he just about daily encourages.

It doesn't penetrate.

Trumpists are argument-proof. The undecideds are argument-averse.

Messaging can't work if there are no receivers. This is maybe the most demoralizing aspect of the republic today. Discourse is seemingly completely dead. Hell, most people don't really know anything about the republic or it's origins. The USA is their favorite team which they believe is the bestest ever.

By all means, keep trying to enlighten and persuade people. Just don't have much in the way of expectations that your good arguments and messages will carry a point to your listener should you find one.

I'm stumped.

Definitely true.  And then there’s the people who pay attention but act like they’re clueless and pull the R lever.  I’ll say this, many openly Trumptard fans have gone into hiding.  He’s absolutely embarrassing to a lot of people that voted for him - but they’d vote for him again. Stay vigilant.

That’s all true.  But it’s REALLY hard to find someone like Trump.  His malignant narcissistic personality allows him to hate anyone against him and let practically anyone on board to ride with him, if they show fealty.  Many act like they have that in them, very few do.  It’s a clinical diagnoses that’s, thankfully, fairly rare.  

Once he’s dead, the odds those rubes coalesce behind one person is very fucking low.  Of course, we have to ride out the rest of fuckhead’s time on earth.

It’s the huge swath of middle class morons who think R equals more money for themselves.  They’re voting FOR their family, bro…not against blacks and minorities who Trump is shitting all over.  Wouldn’t you rather stand FOR something, especially if that something is your own flesh and blood?!?!

One of my favorite amuse bouches of MAGAT cognitive dissonance is that dude's sweatshirt....proclaiming "NEVER SURRENDER"....under a booking photo taken when Trump....surrendered to the authorities.

Though it's anecdotal, every now and then I'll hear a pundit recount a recent occurrence of one of their MAGA relatives having a "WTF did Trump just say?" moment. Maybe I'm reading too much into that clip, but the crowd is really muted there, and even in the video's preview image it looks like there's at least 4 faces turning away from the trainwreck. 

yeah but nobody attending that rally has any idea how many people are in either of those countries lol. he could say there were five million people in Wyoming and they'd believe him. 

It appears the real reason he's not debating is because he can't remember things anymore.

He confuses China and North Korea just like we do!

It just doesn't seem going back to repeatedly praising foreign communist dictators or Hezbollah is resonating with Super Patriot Guy, or at least it's becoming something that's harder for them to ignore. Of course, I could be totally off, but at least in that clip, that was a quiet crowd.

I'd kind a prefer an aging geezer that has a calm reflective demeanor that surrounds himself with competent professionals to do the work, to a deranged narcissist geezer with drug, rage and jealousy issues that can't hire anyone that is competent.

Apparently I'm in the minority on that.

Sun Tzu never got over Macho Grande they say. His war philosophy was not prepared for aerial combat.

I think the real reason is he thinks he’s above sharing the stage with anyone. Nobody has the balls to tell him he’s lost a step and he wouldn’t believe them if they did.

To be fair to Sun Tzu, nobody predicted that Washington would defend and secure the airport ramps in 1777.  Except for one prophetic Commander... And his name?  You guessed it, Donald J. Trump.

North Korea has 1.4b people and is lead by a genius, powerful leader.  That's going to be in Texas social studies books in probably less than two years.  You and I will be ordered to undergo court-supervised psychiatric evaluations for having dangerous ideas, while shit that comes out of his mouth will be engraved by Dan Patrick onto our state buildings.  He claims Jeb Bush invaded Iraq and stares at solar eclipses.  I mean, almost everyone is either an asshole or an idiot.  But there was a time, if you were both, we'd beat you with a rubber hose out back.

The Nissan Armada died a slow death on the Tundra. Tragic really. They couldn't handle the Frontier. Yet Tacoma WA celebrated verily.

Again, laugh all you want.  Remember that rant he went on about electric vehicles last month and making better vehicles in America.  And he cited the Indian motorcycle which he claimed is called that because it's made in India.  

I don't want to be the ketchup bottle next to him when he learns the gas-guzzling GMC Yukon isn't really from Western Canada.  But knowing him, he'll use a sharpie to connect the Territory to Michigan.  Seriously, how in the wild fucking fuck do people listen to him and think, "Yep, smartest President ever."  I get that he validates you and let's wear your inner ugly on the outside...we all hero worship in some form or fashion.  But at some point, doesn't some kinda, "I like the lower taxes and getting to be an asshole online and at stoplights...but I think sometimes he's fucking dumber than my brother in law."

It was 100% his plan.  How do we know?  HE MOTHERFUCKING SAID SO, REPEATEDLY.

JUST LIKE HE DOES NOW.  These assholes say what they intend to do, right out in the open.  Everyone has to stop being surprised by it.  It's no secret.

The only thing that gives me even a modicum of comfort is that neither he nor any of his sycophants are competent enough to pull off something like that, nor would the relevant military leaders support the idiots coup attempt. They'd probably imprison him if he actually tried.

What worries me is a split in the military -- a rogue colonel or two in the right place, with troops under their command.  That's EXACTLY how coups work in other places.  Again, there is no secret sauce here.  The script on how fascist authoritarians seize power isn't complex.

I can absolutely see rogue units acting under rogue officers taking physical control of sites like the Capitol and White House.  Who will oppose them?  Who will actually be commanding the other troops who might respond and save the day?  Remember, if they do so before the inauguration of Trump's 2028 opponent, there is no other "commander in chief" to issue countervailing orders.  And even if other troops did move to protect the Capitol, they'd be called upon to potentially fire on their fellow troops.  US soldiers, shooting at US soldiers.  If you think that Trump and his entire MAGA cadre, both the leaders and the simps who go along with it, wouldn't be perfectly fine with that, you haven't been paying attention.

Any other functioning country would have lined Trump and his merry band of plotters up against a wall and shot them long ago.  They are a continuing existential threat to the Republic.

This is the actual reason Tuberville is blocking military promotions. There will be a HUGE glut of positions for Trump to place loyalists. They will then purge the remainder. 

If Trump becomes President again, it's for life. There will not be another legitimate election.

Pods gets it.  The MAGA movement is a terrorist movement that wants to end the American state, and replace it with a fascist dictatorship.  That's not surmise -- they have told us what they want to do, and they have taken and continue to take numerous actions in furtherance of that goal.

If they were brown-skinned middle easterners, we'd have hit every one of them with a drone strike by now.
