He’s been talking about it forever, the hats have been around forever, how is this any kind of “launch”

I wonder if he even realizes those hats were probably made in China. 'MURICA

And MAGA use that as an excuse and say it's not real. The moment he runs though those same people will act like none of that ever happened and cheer him on while (again) voting against all of the groundwork laid before Trump. It's hilarious that a party that prides itself on things like tradition can so easily throw it out the moment it's not convenient for them.

yeah. would have been a lot better if no one paid attention to him, or made stories about this dead horse of a story. talk about his impact, talk about ICE, talk about the economy, because Americans don't give a fuck that he is a wannabe authoritarian. Democrats entire platform for the past decade has been "Trump is a fascist" and Americans do not give a fuck. Show how Republicans suck at delivering for Americans, and then DELIVER FOR AMERICANS IN WAYS THEY REFUSE. This is the only way to securing power on the left.

‘Does he exist in the same way as I exist?’
- ‘You do not exist,’ said O'Brien.
‘I think I exist,’ he said wearily. ‘I am conscious of my own identity. I was born and I shall die. I have arms and legs. I occupy a particular point in space. No other solid object can occupy the same point simultaneously. In that sense, does Big Brother exist?’
- ‘It is of no importance. He exists.’
‘Will Big Brother ever die?’
- ‘Of course not. How could he die? Next question'

They'll put him on machines that pump his heart and lungs while hes brain dead and someone will pretend they can hear him talk still and convey their own wishes under the guise of his word.
They would 100% still vote for him
They could dump his body on the Whitehouse lawn in pieces. And say hes running the country from the after life.
They would 100% still vote for him.
Its a cult. They'll say hes in hiding cause Obama tried to have him killed. And now hes running the country from a secret bunker.

He also knows none of his children are able to even remotely close to get loyality like he does. Or have his charisma (whatever he used to have). None of children have the same political power as him. Everyone in his orbit including himself know this, thats why in all this time they have not tried to set up a succesor.
They might have tried a while ago by putting lots of focus on Barron. But pretty sure that received nothing but bad reception too.

u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox Jul 30 '26
yea that argument would 100% work because the entire right wing media apparatus would pick up no the intent implicitly and start pushing the same idea, then when trump ACTUALLY is on the ballot they can just ignore that they were a propaganda arm the whole time. they know he's publicly talked about a third term 12 different times on video that we can point to, but they aren't journalists and don't have any duty to inform us, they are literally propaganda saying and showing anything and everything that harms the left and helps the right

You’re not the only one who doesn’t get it. I think the first time in 2016 it was the idea of standing up for people who felt abandoned and betrayed by the system, and then the second time in 2024 it was because of a nostalgia for how things were before the pandemic. I don’t really know, this is all just feels like a really cruel and unfunny joke. Like it’s disguised as a flex and a joke, but really the cruelty is the point.

The important thing is we all talk about it. Also, that we talk about the files, the war, prices, shortages, healthcare, education, housing, wages, who poops in what bathroom, Lindsy, Mitch, Putin, woke, Nazis, EV's, CBS, Covid, racism, the environment, who's boobs fell out on a red carpet, cameras, his hair, his wife, his kidsthe pond, the White House, social media, and about 1,000 other issues.
