If he doesn't win, it's unfair by definition, right?
I've lost the ability to even be depressed by this shit anymore.
I feel like there's a threshold after which you just can't even question the fairness.
Like if he lost with 20% of the popular vote is he really going to say it was rigged?
It won't happen but the devil's advocate in me wants to believe that at some point his copium runs out and he's humbled.
Yes, because he said it was rigged when he won the electoral college vote. He will always say it is rigged no matter what happens because he is parroting Russian disinformation tactics.
The one conspiracy theory I will never back down from is that Trump never intended to win the 2016 election, his loss was supposed to be the launch point for Trump TV. Remember Trump TV? Yeah, nobody does. All those angry voters were supposed to convert to customers and instead they just turned into emboldened fascists.
To be fair, those fascists make great customers.
$400 gold sneakers, $60 bibles, Trump NFTs, a new perfume line,, it's all selling out.
Doesn't matter. A candidate that threatens violence against the institution is guilty of sedition. That is by definition.
Well you've got about 6 months to hit the gym, get some range time in, and collect non-perishable food items. Better get to it.
That’s okay, I’ll be double depressed for the both of us.
There's a certain point where you shift from abject horror to "...Yeah that may as well just happen."
Really was hoping that this year was gonna be boring and unremarkable. Next year. Gonna get a winner eventually.
We've had four years of boring and unremarkable, with many boring wins. And yet, that's not what Americans seem to want.
We've come to look at the Presidency like it's a monarchy. The President has broad powers, but it's only one of the three branches of government; but it's harder to take your frustrations out in Congress.
