I want him to lose, THEN die.  I mean, if we're wishcasting.

But the stakes are too fucking high for me to hold out for the BEST case scenario.  I'll take any W I can get at this point.  We have danced too close to the flame for way too long, the irrevocable and irreparable explosion could happen at any time.  I'm sick of that fucking risk.

Yes, but if he dies without losing, all it takes is one person to take over for him. And THAT person will actually be smart and know what he's doing. Which would be far worse than what is happening now.

I feel your pain, man, but he has to lose and live to lose again and again to end the threat.

Yeah it sucks and we all want it to be over now, but the long, slow, drawn-out way is the only way it will work.

The bolded is where the two things cannot happen: there is nobody capable of carrying the Trump banner and gathering the level of support DJT has.  We have watched person after person -- relatively capable politicians, at least in terms of the MAGAsphere -- try to do so.  None of them can even come close to being "Trump, with all the Trump fanatical/cultish support, but competent."

Trump has an incredible gift.  He is a genuine savant, I've never seen anything like it.  He is the greatest Idiot Whisperer of the post-WWII era, maybe of the past 100+ years.  Nobody else can come close.  Not Ron DeSantis, not MTG, not DJT jr, Eric, or Ivanka, or Huckabeef.  Nobody.  The BEST "replacement" will still lose millions upon millions of supporters, who without their god to actually see at rallies and speaking and such, will simply crawl back under the rocks whence they came.

While we certainly have much to fear from malevolent billionaires and their wholly owned simps in the GQP (looking at you, Clarence Thomas), it's not the existential threat that DJT, and only DJT, is.  We can "undo" much of the damage being done by the other variety (it still will be painful and bloody, mind you - we're too far down that road for it not to be), but that's a different level of shit.

DJT is an extinction-level threat to the Republic.  Nobody else is.

That's because he's not dead yet. It wasn't until after Jesus' death that Paul showed up, and then converted that small section into the major religion it eventually became. And he came from as far outside the cult as one could come.

The person who takes over, if Trump dies too soon, will be like that. He won't be one of the crazy followers you see right now. He'll be someone who looks like he's against Trump right now, but crafty as he is, will see the opportunity and make things happen.

And like MAGAs do with Reagan now, he just has to invoke the name to get everyone in line... and then grow it.

That's the guy I'm most afraid of right now. The guy you haven't heard of yet.

Gag order in the Bragg case after Trump attacked the judge's family:

 

Oh yeah? They're restricting his ability are they? I think he's confusing Restrict with Threatening Consequences. Because unless they're cutting off his hands and sewing his mouth shut, they're not actually restricting shit. And the next consequences I see will be the first.

My answer to that is: Be careful what you wish for. If he were to fall, he would become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

The Romans thought they could kill off a cult by killing Jesus... You may snicker, but Trump has replaced Jesus in churches throughout the country as their true Messiah, even if they won't say that quiet part out loud quite yet.

You won't kill the cult off simply by him dying.

Heck, look how many years it took for Elvis sightings to wane. Elvis was being spotted and worshiped for a good 10-15 years after his death. Wouldn't have happened if he'd just been an old, fat druggie for the next ten years instead. THEN you'd have had people talking about how much he sucked, although he had been pretty good once.

Y'all really don't want Trump to die. Y'all want him to lose.

Lose, lose, and keep losing more and more, until his name has become as synonymous with losing as Rimbo has become with Greg Davis Defenders. He won't have a cult, because nobody wants to join the Cult of Loser.

Jail won't end him. Death won't end him. Losing will. Losing court cases. Losing his marbles. Losing the election. Dragging the GOP down with him.

Counterpoint, his people won't believe he lost fairly and will still support him and eventually lead to violence.

SIGH.  If people want RODO to be the magician who turns the franchise into something great, it's hard reconciling that with literally his first move, one of the dumbest personnel decisions I've ever seen in a half century of following sports.

The current team doesn't have a single win in them.  Seriously, I think that the odds are that this team goes to the All-Star break without a W.  The only possible bright side is that if they are THAT bad, we might actually ditch Wolff mid-season (he's a bigger problem than people think - we had players decline on the option of signing with us because they don't want to play for him).

Trump dying and Wolff being fired on the same day would be.....

Trump was the perfect storm.  And enough republicans will act like they were against him all along when the next guy tries to invoke his name.  It won't get the idiots excited like Trump somehow did.  The party types and usual voters still will vote lock-step along party lines, but the fringe types that Trump brought out of the shadows aren't, if I"m right (and I hope I am) going to show up for the next guy, even if his last name happens to be Trump.

But with each loss, things get worse for them, more people fall away. Y'all seem to have this notion that his current supporters will NEVER change their support, that they're so far off the deep end they'll never make their way out.

Our coach in High School had a Soccer For Dummies book in his office; dumb enough to not hide it, even dumber when he tried to coach us in game. "No we aren't subbing right now sir."

There’s already Republicans and some BMDs who have bailed on him because he lost the House, Senate, and White House.   Another loss will seal the deal with a lot of Republicans and BMDs who just vote (R) for reasons, because they want to win, not listen to some old fat fuck whining about his losses in 2020 and 2024 and about how unfair everything is.

And because Trump now controls the GOP and has already began Order 66 purging long-time Republicans in the RNC (who had important institutional knowledge), he is making the RNC about him, and only him, and it’s just an extension of Trump Org. He gives no shit about down-ballot candidates, he won’t simply go away into the night after he loses in November.

He will not give up control of the RNC after he loses again, so he’s a problem that will have to be dealt with by Republicans who want to actually move forward and win.

csb/   The other night, we were camping out in the hill country, and it was a clear sky with a brilliant display of stars and constellations.  And my oldest asked me how I knew about so many of them.  And I explained to her pattern recognition and celestial navigation.  Through family letters and papers passed down through the ages on her grandmother's side, our bloodline literally runs from Columbus' second voyage from Iberia.  On my father's side, they were everything from Kriegsmarine to the U.S. Navy, all navigators and comms.  And that during the night...they would guide the boats from sailing ships to nuclear powered USN vessels.  And while they were out on deck...they would chart the stars and the course.  And they would pass the time as the rest of the crew slept, by telling tales and jokes and songs and that's why she has storytelling in her blood.  It's why she has the desire to be funny and write stuff down long after I've asked to go to sleep.  I often tell her that when you see what no else sees, you will know what no one else knows.  I am not particularly smart or creative, but she is.  And she reminds me of what's in my blood that I ignored.  This 'Group of Hate'...they were always around us and i simply chose to ignore them.  They were always around me, but we dismissed them as a political afterthought.  And second---their ability to mobilize and destabilize.  My lack of ability to inherit my ancestry's insight and notice their pattern to power---once again my prize lack of imagination.  I saw it, we all saw it.  We just didn't realize the scope of its capacity.  And now my children are condemned to live among them for another 90 years.  

 

tl;dr      I don't know what I'm more disappointed in...that we let it happen or that we were too ignorant to see it coming.

you have to admit, the one President in U.S. history who has never been a member of a Christian Church despite living blocks away from a dozen houses of worship within walking distance for almost his whole life.  Who can't name one verse in either testament.  Who doesn't even know how to hold a bible for a photo opp,  He's the one who most frequently claims he was sent by the Lord, our God, to save our nation from itself.  And that's just a total coincidence?  The biggest sinner is our biggest savior?

Bolded because the qualifier is the killer here.  We do not have a rational and sane society.  We have a society where one party is all-in on authoritarianism.  That....is fucked.

Excellent question.  Also, really stupid question.  Let me ask it another way:

"In what world does lighting a match equate to burning down a house?"  By your standard, we should exhibit zero alarm when someone thoroughly douses a house in gasoline, says "I'm going to burn this motherfucker down," and then stands at the front door and strikes a match.  PARTICULARLY when we have clear and spot-on historical antecedents to look to.

This.

And this.

To the bolded, yes, yes, 1000X YES!  That's EXACTLY what we are doing.  We are -- to continue the metaphor above -- comparing the dude with a lit match in front of the house he just soaked with gasoline and said he's gonna burn down with other arsonists, because HE IS DOING ALL THE THINGS THAT ARSONISTS DO RIGHT UP TO THE POINT THEY LIGHT THE HOUSE ON FIRE.

As just a snapshot, here's a short-form discussion of the rhetoric he employs:

Yep.  See above.  

Bottom line, ask yourself this simple question, honestly:

What did fascist authoritarian leaders do, and sound like, in their run-up to taking absolute power and imposing their horrific regimes on the world?

And you know what the answer to that question is, or you would if you ever picked up a motherfucking book.

They look, and sound, almost exactly like Donald Trump.

 

So, to get back to your original oh-so-concerned point....you are goddamned right I wish that he would die, right now, this very second.  Because he is an existential threat to the Republic, and by virtue of that every American and indeed every human on earth.  He has no governing or guiding principles other than "show fealty to me," so nobody, regardless of ideology or anything else, is safe.  He wants to be an absolute ruler with absolute power accountable to nobody and without any limits....because he has TOLD US THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE FUCKING WANTS.  And he will demonize, and inflict punishment and pain, on whoever it takes to accomplish those things.

Don't blame us because we have enough IQ points and literacy to say "oh fuck, we've seen shit almost exactly like this before, and y'all....you aren't gonna like where it takes us" and you clearly do not.  Pick up a fucking book.  Or hell, do this -- take a visit here, the German History Museum in Berlin:

1_zeughaus_aussen_neue_fahnen.jpg?itok=6

It has a fantastic, plain-spoken and unvarnished sequence of exhibits showing EXACTLY how the nazis came to power (with genuine popular support), how they consolidated and made that power absolute, and how they then executed on the threats and promises they made on the rise to power.  My family of four walked that exhibit a few years ago, finishing at separate times.  As we all ended up outside together, each of us voiced some version of 'holy shit that was the most terrifying thing I've ever seen because it's happening right fucking now."  And mind you, that exhibit wasn't put together with an agenda of "look at this, it's just like Trump."  It pre-dates him, significantly.  It just tells a story about how fascist regimes that kill millions and destroy nations come to power....and it's a story playing out right here in the US, damned near to the letter.

Go there.

The Romans thought they could kill off a cult by killing Jesus... You may snicker, but Trump has replaced Jesus in churches throughout the country as their true Messiah, even if they won't say that quiet part out loud quite yet.

You won't kill the cult off simply by him dying.

Heck, look how many years it took for Elvis sightings to wane. Elvis was being spotted and worshiped for a good 10-15 years after his death. Wouldn't have happened if he'd just been an old, fat druggie for the next ten years instead. THEN you'd have had people talking about how much he sucked, although he had been pretty good once.

Y'all really don't want Trump to die. Y'all want him to lose.

Lose, lose, and keep losing more and more, until his name has become as synonymous with losing as Rimbo has become with Greg Davis Defenders. He won't have a cult, because nobody wants to join the Cult of Loser.

Jail won't end him. Death won't end him. Losing will. Losing court cases. Losing his marbles. Losing the election. Dragging the GOP down with him.

Fuck you emoji - ruh roh, someone offended his sky cake.

I hate I wasted 50 years on that nonsense.

I pray that 50,000 kids across the globe don't die of starvation tonight. Let's check back in the morning and see how it went.

God is either a sociopath or doesn’t exist. There’s no other option. Either way, it doesn’t deserve your time to bother with it.

Unless you’re in it for the grift.

If they die tomorrow instead, prayer answered?

And how do you measure this?
