His IQ is currently equal to his amount of felonies

I’m just hoping this comment ages like milk as his convictions pile up with his other trials.

I'm really hoping Harris wins, and we can make politics boring again. I know that if Trump wins, we'll hear about all the insanity he will put in place for the next four years.

Sure, if he loses, Trump will cry foul, but that doesn't have the same legs as it would if he wins.

I just want Trump to be some washed out TV "celebrity" and politics to be as entertaining as it always is: not very.

I'm not American and all I hear about right now is American politics. Y'all need to figure your shit out.

If Trump loses, that dissolves the Trump cult and the next Trump that comes along will just be compared to Trump

[–] ultranaut@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago

I wouldn't count on that. These are cultists who are ready to deify Trump and start sending people to the camps. I don't think losing an election will change the fundamental cult dynamic, or the hatred and anger that has been organized within the cult. We are stuck with this bullshit probably for the rest of our lives, one way or the other.

Trump is not the problem. Trump is the symptom. The problem is a somewhat powerful minority faction in the US actively pushing to dismantle our democracy. Project 2025 wasn't written by Trump and didn't write itself.

Harris' win is step 1. We then need to push to shore up our democracy and prevent a more cunning trump replacement.

Watch the movie "Bad Faith". It lays it all out.

Tl;Dr: It's pretty much entirely the fault of Evangelicals.

Plus he's proven that having a cult of personality works, and caused a notable shift in the US Republican party.

For all we know, that might be a permanent change, rather than a temporary one.

I'm just hoping that there's no one with his "charisma." Thankfully everyone else scummy enough to be in the GOP is a wet rag in comparison to him so far. He may be a piece of shit, but a con man "confidence man" he most definitely is.

I second this emotion

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 88 points 16 hours ago (12 children)

Americans are watching this too and wondering what the fuck is wrong with our fellow Americans. This should not even be close.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 13 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'm really hoping that it isn't close and that the polls were lying "just to make it interesting"

America is a fascist nation dripping in right wing propaganda.

If we elect Trump a second time, the only people who can express shock are the ones who have never seen a neighbor wave a Confederate flag, brandish a Blue Lives Punisher logo, have FOX News blasting away in the living room, or demand you laugh at their joke full of ethnic slurs.
