This fucking guy. I hope he gets soundly defeated in November and I never have to hear or read about some dumb shit he said ever again.
You’re making a mistake.
He’s not the disease, he’s only a symptom of something we’re otherwise able to ignore.
There are vast oceans of his supporters who love him because he “tells it like it is”, ie he helps them speak more openly about their own bigotry.
Trump going away will only give us someone else, and honestly, they’ll probably be moderately competent.
Trump is a godsend, because he is so absolutely, perfectly stupid and incompetent, a real operator would be devastating. Use this opportunity to gain resistance to their form of plague before it’s too late.
He’s shingles.
Yeah, the US had the disease pretty bad when it was young. And, it’s laid dormant in the nervous system for years. Some stress and poor health habits have allowed it to rise to the surface.
It won’t ever go away entirely but better habits and self-care can keep it away indefinitely.

Caveat: you can’t blame people who get shingles for being sick.
Stress is often a trigger for instance, that’s usually caused by other people.
I mean, aren’t there vaccines now…?
Yes, but they are far from 100% effective.
Ah, OK. I thought at least when innoculated as a child they were extremely (99.9+%) effective, and assumed it was similar as an adult.
Looking it up, I see I was wrong. It’s pretty good, but WAY lower than I thought.
That’s it, with the caveat that people usually don’t die of shingles.
Not usually. But, untreated shingles can lead to complications that can kill you (infections, stroke, meningitis, encephalitis, etc.).
Yeah that’s what we got, post-civil war shingles.
I would personally enjoy the only article about him ever reaching headline status again being his obituary.
But we all know that even if he loses he will try and run again if he isn’t locked up. He will cry about stolen elections til the day he dies. Even of the Republican leaders try to divorce themselves from him, he will run independent. And a significant amount of the maga movement will follow him there.

We need another seven for his convictions and sentencing.
Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but with the amount he seems to have declined in the last few years both physically and mentally, I can’t imagine he will be capable in any capacity of running again.
I agree, but I also thought so 8 years ago.
Man, so much faith in so many things lost in 8 years…
Edit: like, I thought - apparently completely mistakenly - that even if we disagreed on a lot of things, the majority of Republican voters had some form of morals that they followed, some amount of integrity. Fucking sucks that they absolutely don’t.
Assuming he actually loses in November (which we all have to hope for to protect US democracy), this scenario, and especially him constantly running as a third party candidate till the day he dies, would lead to a lasting split in the GOP for the foreseeable future - I’m actually not against this outcome in any way!
Kind of foreseeable since he likely won’t live another 10 years and there’s no real personality cult to replace him.
Yet.
There’s no shortage of contenders, but they all seem pretty niche in terms of popularity so far. It’s not going to be any of Trump’s shitty kids.
My grandma is all in on Trump Jr. She says he’s handsome. Hard barf.
It sucks when our relatives suck.
JFC, this piece of shit is actively trying to start a race war. What the fuck.
It’s a tried and true gameplay for fascists throughout history.
They’re all typically narcissists, and they all feel like a group wronged them somehow. It’s their perceived right to punish them when they gain power for the imagined transgressions they made because they didn’t give them what they wanted.
Hitler hated Jews because he believed they were the reason he was unsuccessful in his career and other endeavors and blamed their machinations for his failures.
“a”? When did you start counting?
You’re just now noticing?
Wait until they go back and look at the state visits he took as president.
Trump, pictured here endorsing a self-described “black Nazi,” implicitly threatened a room of Jewish people with genocide if they didn’t support him.
He sure does like black Nazis. Look how happy he is to be with this particular black man who is inexplicably also a Nazi:
What’s almost kinda funny, is it looks like Kanye is almost aware that he’s being used as a prop in that photo. Like look at his face.
He kind of always looks that way though. He’s got such an expressionless face. I have seen him smile and frown, but most of the time, it’s sort of that vacant expression that could mean anything. Resting nothing face?
Resting Dead Inside Face?
He may be right in his case, because look at him smiling…
Ah. Nothing like hinting to his nazi goons on who to attack.
From the guy who said you’re “not a real Jew” unless you vote for him because of Israel.
I’m so glad Joe “you ain’t black” Biden dropped out.
Jews find him ignorant.
He is ignorant.
Ftfy
Conservative Jews will still vote for him, unfortunately.
Republican’ts: Stop comparing Trump to Hitler!!! Reeeee
Trump:
Insulting black and hispanic people just isn’t hitting the same, what do I do? Oh yeah, let’s blame the jews
He is really unable to accurately represent any perspective other than his own, the poster boy for malignant narcissism.
Real Americans will have a lot to do with that.
My theory is he is pandering to Muslim voters in MI with these statements by hinting that Jewish people will vote for democrats
Of course he’s targeting Jews. Shit like this is why I’m sympathetic to the concept of Israel despite condemning all ethnostates.
