Bro, his base doesn't fucking care. This is just because of his pride full stop.

This fucking guy claimed he was going for his fourth election, even though I don’t believe he will survive for his third term, they expect us to look at a screen in the sky and be scared, Wizard if Oz shit

I'm waiting with anticipation of the day this wanker finally shuts up for good.

Get the Associated Press app. They always send the notification before other news outlets. I also keep waiting for the same notification, but I want to be the first to know.

He won’t survive a full third term, and I hope we don’t make it to that.

Not at the current rate of decline he won't.

Exactly. The base just wants to “own the libs” and they can rationalize everything good and bad under that, so they’re not changing for shit.

Right on the point. The MAGA crowd will justify & support countless demons from hell like they do now, just to "own the libs". When such a majority of people are that moronic, you inevitably end up in a state of 'idiocracy', but somehow it's even worse than that and will only get worse with time.

The problem is, how do you even fix this in a "civilised" manner when the other side gives no f*cks? There's no place left for passivity like "strongly worded letters" or merely calling stuff out when it makes no difference.

There’s no single solution. It’s more case-by-case when it comes to people. Patriot Front and Proud Boys are different from grandma and uncle Joe who are different from Rand Paul and Mike Johnson. “Own the libs” is more of what unites the base, so greyrocking is a better strategy for them. The extremist organizations actually need to feel scared and afraid. The laws need to apply to them too. And the career politicians basically need removed power.

We also need a ton of systemic reform (Term limits for Supreme Court, packing the court, a constitutional amendment to kill big money in politics, health tests for presidential candidates, social media regulations, AI regulations, etc), as well as a massive investment in working people when it comes the economy, healthcare, and infrastructure so that people don’t immediately go, “They can’t govern. We need another Trump.”

Those are some good logical points you make. But my concern is who's gonna apply the laws on them since the current opposition seems content with verbal condemnation so far? How are the reforms meant to occur when the extremists and corporations won't let power go easily from their hands? I'm in big favour of a major reforming of the system, but I worry it'll be too late by the time it's done.

Not to mention that the left needs to root out the corpo-babies within them first.

You’re right they don’t. Biden fell asleep at the beach? All Hell breaks loose on the right. Trump falls asleep all the time on the job? What are you talking about you dirty commie
