    That’s cool that some people are (finally) figuring out what a total clown Orange Jesus is, but…did Hitler’s poll numbers really mattered after he seized power?

    Pretty sure the election was stolen and all those swing states anyway. It’s statistically probable that he won all seven swing states. Not to mention the election tampering, Starlink, etc.

      That’s what all the labeling of groups as terrorists is for, along with the troop deployment to cities. They are going to try to effectively declare war on terrorism in various cities and states and use that war to suspend elections.

      People have the memory of a goldfish. In 2028, the democratic candidate is going to have some obscure flaw that’ll be pushed to every media station and social network that caters to the party that punishes opponents, and most Americans will forget the past 4 years and focus on this one flaw.

    I dont know why this is relevant. Either he prevented from running, in which case this doesnt matter; OR he IS running in violation of the law, in which case this doesnt batter because if he is willing to break an established precent and law then he would not leave his third term open to chance by having free or fair elections.

      … or they just don’t have elections.

      He’s already spoken about it. If there’s a “war” they don’t need elections.

        The worst part is that there’s no actual law about that anywhere. He’s looking at Ukraine’s suspended elections, but that was only possible because Ukraine’s constitution specifically states that elections can be suspended during war. The US constitution doesn’t have any such clause. But I’m sure he’ll try anyways, and the current SCOTUS will let him.

    If he is still alive in 2028, there is no chance he allows fair and free elections, so this does not matter at all.

    The man tried to overthrow the legitimate government of the USA and Americans still elected him into office. Approval rating doesn’t mean shit.

        Which just means they stood there and watched as 1/3rd elected him into office. Just because they didn’t vote doesn’t mean they aren’t responsible. It’s like three people sitting in a train, one trying to keep it on the tracks, one trying to steer it off the tracks and the third guy just watching like he’s not on the same train as the other two.

        And the voters have an even shorter term memory. Trending downward is nice, but I doubt the shit we’re dealing with now will be in most people’s mind when they vote in 2026 and 2028.

          If in March he announces an end to the tariffs and prices have a sudden relief, then the GOP can sail in on the realization of lower prices.

          It’s easier to make things better when you deliberately make them worse first. There’s the lovely strategic thing of the non-election year.
