A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]

You know it's hard to work "Plains, and Fields, and Whales" into the same sentence considering how few Whales now live in the Great Plains of the United States...but that sumbitch stuck that landing.

The latest from the populist:

(Reuters) - Donald Trump, who predicted three years ago that if Democratic President Joe Biden won the White House in 2020 markets would crash, said on Sunday that stock markets hitting record highs were just making "rich people richer."

Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination, often took credit for a rising stock market when he was president between 2017 and 2021. He was mocked by Biden last week for wrongly predicting a crash when they campaigned against each other in 2020.

What kills me is that I have people in my life who will vote for Trump. Virtually all of my close family. They will vote for him if he is convicted on 91 counts. They will vote for him if he says during a rally that he plans on nuking San Francisco, because fuck that place. They will vote for him if he promises to get us into World War 3. They will vote for him if he promises to end democracy and rule as a dictator until the day he dies.

Oh, I get it.  Its cowardly.  But I think at this point you've got people so brainwashed that they won't vote for Biden just like he told me he would have never voted for Hillary.  So, if you can't get them to vote for Biden, you may as well make sure they don't vote for Trump.  He confirmed he didn't vote for him in 2020. Only 2016.  Voted for everything else but President.

This is the problem - because he's a feeling, somebody else could come along who could not only tap into those feelings, but is competent enough to really wreck shit.

I still think for many it's not about Trump, it's about how he makes them feel, and in theory somebody else could come along and make them feel that way.  Thankfully, DeSantis is not capable of a lot of human emotions, like his human wife.

Could someone tap into those feelings?  Sure, it's possible.  But nobody on the current horizon has that ability beyond Trump.  For as dumb as he is, he is truly gifted in that area.  Desantis really wanted to be that guy and he's just not.  Same for Cruz.

I have someone like this that voted dotard in 2016 and I’m pretty sure was convinced to vote Biden in 2020, but I’m fearful is going to switch back to dotard in 2024. The hate from social media/fox news is just too addicting for her. It’s really sad actually, but it’s like she needs the dopamine hit (or whatever it actually is) by expressing this hatred. I don’t know why it exists, as she’s generally nice in real life. Generally.

Like @Macanudo said, Trump really wasn't on the horizon before he got elected (or rather won the primaries).  

With that said, to want to tap into MAGA, I honestly think at this point that it would have to be a known quantity.  Trump pulled some of those people out of not quite thin air (i.e. many weren't voting before him), but I think now, anybody who tries to succeed him has to be deeply engaged with MAGA already. They have to have been seen fighting in the proverbial trenches (maybe making an appearance at J6).  It has to be somebody slick and polished, and nobody in Trump's inner-orbit fits that description.

I don't know if they will have to be blessed by Trump in some manner, because I think he will burn down the GQP on his way out and he will complain that everything was rigged again - when he loses this time around, the BMDs will get really aggressive in promoting somebody other-than-Trump in 2028, because the longer this goes on, the more chances they will lose some Supreme Court seats as well as the Dems will build up majorities in both Congressional chambers..  

And if he loses any primaries, I think he goes all-in on destroying everybody running against him, rather than what we have right now where he just occasionally snipes at them from the sidelines. He will probably go after state Republican organizations who were handling their primaries and claiming they rigged it against him.

Edit: MAGA will go on without him/in spite of him, even if he burns down the GOP on the way out, unless he starts an actual MAGA party (fingers crossed).

There maybe some mental illness going on, or something wrong in her life that she can't control, so she's living vicariously through politics/blaming other people.

With the Qanon types, mental issues were prevalent obviously, but some of these people clearly have made problematic life choices.

This person is extremely well to do and wants for nothing, other than apparently just wanting someone to hate.  It's bizarre.  I'm just glad I'm on the side of people who are treated well.  Because there's a lot of hate in this person's heart for some reason.
