Well, it made me turn off ad blockers then the ads crashed my tab.

But it sounded like it’s republicans overacting and mad at democrats because we’re “letting” trump run instead of a candidate who would have a better chance to beat Kamala?

They’re just jealous we dropped our geriatric candidate and they couldn’t.

to be honest the GOP lost the chance to be free of Trump when their senators refused to convict him after the Jan 6 impeachment.

They could have been free of him. they could have put this party above their own personal power. but nope. They chose this. They chose him over america.

They chose an insurrectionist asshole. a misogynist. a racist. a rapist. a bigot in every way. A geriatric fascist prick.

which, all this besides, Trump could back out any time he wanted to. just like Biden did. But that also would put America before his own personal power.

TL/DR:

THEY DESERVE EACH OTHER

I mean, they also could’ve convicted him after his first impeachment, too. Or they could’ve 25th’d him, or they could’ve not stacked the Federal judiciary with partisan traitors like Judge Cannon, or any number of things that would’ve entailed acting in good faith for the good of the country instead of blatantly trying to seize power at all costs. They had plenty of chances and rejected them all.

all of which happened before the Jan 6 impeachment and senate trial. They and him are the same.

I think they lost their chance when he won in 2016. He has so thoroughly captured their base that ousting him would certainly lose them the next several elections, if they ever could fully recover. That’s not to say it’s not 100% on the GOP, he’s the consequence of decades of pandering to the far-right. I’m convinced they could have gotten rid of him before 2016 as well, but the conservatives thought they could control Hitler again and now he’s got them by the balls.

…well, he can’t back out: his 2016 win was the unintentional outcome of a failed media campaign gone awry, and everything since then has been a mad scramble to avoid prosecution for all the laws he broke along the way and to keep uncle vlad’s kompromat at bay…

…once he loses executive immunity or outlives his usefuless, his whole world comes crashing down: you’ve seen the panic in eyes since late 2016, and most of the remaining GOP have since come along for the same ride…

The relevant:

“I better win or you’re gonna have problems like we’ve never had. We may have no country left,” Trump said at his weekend swing-state rally. “This may be our last election. You want to know the truth? People have said that. This could be our last election.”

Eh. The article goes on to quote pundits who claim he’s threatening voters – that if he doesn’t win, he’s gonna do something to end democracy.

Seems kind of overblown to me. First, Trump would have to do something (laugh) and second, this is normal posturing. If you elect the other person, it’s doom and gloom, if you elect me it’s 4 more years of good times. These folks would have watched LBJ’s Daisy and concluded that LBJ was planning to nuke the country if he didn’t win.

People trying to make sense of Trump’s incomprehensible blather are always gonna come out looking silly.

Exactly. Trump is projecting. His lot will move to end elections if they win, so they accuse the opponent of wanting to end elections.

everyone is overcomplicating this imo. in the context of the last 3.5 years, clearly this is just trump saying democrats will “steal” every future election if he doesn’t win this year.

It goes way beyond that. His threats are intended to evoke all sorts of emotions and fears - that’s why he keeps them so vague. An accomplished conman like him knows how to work his marks.

It’s always projection with him and his supporters.

The GOP seemed like it might have been turning against Trump (since, you know, he lost). And then it didn’t, and everyone was back to groveling at his feet. They had his name in lights at the RNC as if he was Roxy from Chicago.

They deserve the candidate they ran with.
