    It’s looking mighty bleak at this point. The results of the election won’t matter, and the courts have already largely shown they’ll keep their hands off until after said election.

    So yeah, let’s crash this car into the wall at 120mph and then try to pick up the pieces after.

      What do you mean the results of the election won’t matter? They’ll determine whether a deranged and vengeance minded Trump becomes president…

        I think the implication is,

        if the election results show trump wins = bad

        if the election results show Biden wins, the trump crowd will pursue another Big Lie, having learned something (??) from their 2020 failures, and will tie up the courts and lie cheat and steal until some or all of the election results are overturned with the full faith and support of the fascists in the SCOTUS.

        This is what not throwing this guy in the brig gets us. He orchestrated a coup. We know this.

          Trump may try to lie and cheat his way to the presidency in the face of an electoral loss, but he’d have even less luck with that in 2024 as a challenger than he did in 2020 as the incumbent president.

            Ask me how I know you don’t live in the south.

            Trump is absolutely a possibility. Biden even legitimized it, offering to debate.

              The South can always be burned to ground again. The South is barely able to maintain its own existence. If another pathetic rebellion like the one my ancestors participated in comes again I will happily gun down my own ilk, kith, and kin to maintain the tree of liberty. For it feeds on blood.
