I'd like to think we're not going to allow this to happen...but... 😔 Let's see. Scary times indeed. This is Nazi invasion level danger levels we're facing here ladies and gents. Don't let this orange taint stain topple democracy or whatever we have left of it in this country.

I figure we're like the nasty gas station rest stop you only stop at because there's no other bathroom for about 50 miles. (or in this case, 50 light years)

Practices such as swatting were popular during GamerGate. It's sad that they worked so well that they're being used in a broader sense now.

I recall another wannabe dictator organising an unsuccessful violent coup, being convicted of a crime and then still being elected/manipulated into power. Never thought it would be America that followed the pattern, though.

What did people expect from Putin's candidate? He's no different than the others.

The 🍊🍄🤡 can hardly help himself...fathered and mentored by a racist KKK-loving tax-cheat slumlord. These aren't 'tactics,' they are the content of his character

Unless DeSantis drops out (he won't), Trump is nominated. Even if he's not the first or second choice for a majority of the primary voters/caucus goers. It will be Biden vs Trump. If progressives in a few counties in 2-3 states sit out over Israel or student loans, Trump gets to 270.
