When Trump loses again in a few weeks, he will run for POTUS to keep his convictions at bay and to say the DoJ is weaponized against him. The grift will continue.

I started, and then lost, this. I am going to try again;

My problem:

This is my thought on Trump and the fact that he actually might win the election which scares the crap out of me and also makes, absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. It also makes me wonder about the health of the brains of a large portion of the American Voting Pulbic. Our TV media spent something like 17/18 years presenting Trump as a supreme business man, all man, smart, cagey, and entertaining (I think they created somebody who really didn't exist). As far as I can tell, from both the TV and speaking to some who are supporting Trump I believe that the supporters are quite aware of Trump, his failures, his crimes, etc. One would think, that if that was true they would NOT be supporting yet they are. When I started this quest I thought, perhaps, that all supporters where just ignorant. That is simply not true! The fact is that if something they think is bad is said they have excuses. Some are: "He is just kidding", "He is making a point and doesn't really mean it" , "You are missing his point!", "Its his way", You don't understand", etc. (in other words they have an excuse for virtually ANYTHING that might be bad or strange). I think the thing that bothers me the most is that Trump supporters have either forgotten just how screwed up his presidency was or they have actually removed all memory of that one. I remember, at the time, that there was something over 150 historians, for instance, that said that the Trump presidency was, flat out, the worst presidency the the history of the United states! So, in my thought that there must be the truth out there I offer (I am assuming that these are all true and real and what I do remember):
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/historians-voted-trump-worst-president-ever/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_Donald_Trump
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=trump+was+a+bad+businessman&t=newext&atb=v453-2&ia=web
https://people.com/donald-trump-every-criminal-charge-explained-7567024

Anyway, when one considers all of the above it becomes pretty clear, something really bad and terrible has happened to the citizens of the United States and, for whatever, it simply makes no sense as far as I can tell. Are the Trump supporters, a substantial part of the American voting public Crazy? Sick? Ignorant? or am I one, or more, of the same? This is serious! I have been in this condition for most of the time because this one is a real problem with me. I am just wondering if anybody else has a problem or they have come to believing ......? If you have a solution I would REALLY like to know!!!!

It also makes one wonder. Is this why we have so much gun killing, and children gun killing? Out of control teen-agers, etc. Is this why so many states are making laws against what people have done for years, etc? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

When one peels back all the rationalizations and all the defenses of Trump given by MAGA-heads, there is only one conclusion, it's the obvious bigotry which appeals to MAGA and drives their support for Trump.

Consider this ... every Republican who ran for president had the same policy agenda as Trump, and yet none of them survived the primaries. Why? Because they didn't either subtlety or outright make it known bigotry drives the Republican BASE. Gov DaSantis, in my opinion had the best shot since he already had weaponized the state against everything MAGA hates, which should have been very appealing to these bigots but it wasn't. Why? Because he wouldn't outright say it. He kept hedging the reasoning in legalese. All he had to do was say it loud and proud and I think he may have won. In my estimation he would be a better choice than Trump since Da Santis would at least not destroy Democracy, but would try and use it to implement a MAGA agenda.

It's sad so many would sacrifice Democracy to get a political result they want. As every high profile Republican/conservative commentator has said in the last 20 years ... they just can't sell their product.

It appears when Trump said he and Rep Johnson have a secret to be revealed following the election, I as well as many pundits immediately concluded they have conspired to steal the election in the House. First will be objections to certifications, second chaos and indecision, third SC will rule the House shall decide .... Trump will be next occupant of WH

100% if it gets to either SC or the House

get your knee pads out .... all hail Savior of America!!!!

and he can go frak himself ... know me as rapace

Well It dawned on me why Trump keeps saying his rallies are festivals of love ... the crowds adore him ... they idolize him .... they adulate him ... or to say another way .... they love him. Yet Trump's hate filled rallies are festivals of the MAGA loving Trump and his audacity to give a voice to their bigotry and hatred of other Americans.

How can this guy still be in the race?

Why Rwingers think that Trump is winning the race

Quote
The torrent of polls began arriving just a few weeks ago, one after the other, most showing a victory for Donald J. Trump.

They stood out amid the hundreds of others indicating a dead heat in the presidential election. But they had something in common: They were commissioned by right-leaning groups with a vested interest in promoting Republican strength.

Trump isn't winning the race. It's all a lle and the polls are in on the lie. Us decent folks have been correct all along and our gut instincts told us not to believe what we were being told. We are correct: TRUMP WILL LOSE NEXT WEEK. smile
