@NEETzsche @37712 @DoubleD @Stahesh @Tfmonkey Well you’re generally a bundle of joy this morning.
Thanks to our federal system which was specifically set up at the time to make sure NYC and Philadelphia wouldn’t rule the country, it’s relatively difficult to cheat in national elections, so many polities involved.
I keep saying based on personal experience of that decade that “Biden” is speed running the 1970s. That didn’t end well for Carter, who lost in a landslide, Reagan got 44 states and 50.7% of the vote compared to Carter at 41%, and spoiler John Anderson (yeah, there’s reasons you don’t remember his name) at 6.6%.
With JFK Jr. now playing that role … it’s hard to say. “Biden” just wants him dead, has denied him Secret Service protection, which I’m sure had more than a little to do with him abandoning the rigged game of Democratic party nominations.
He’s a hard left freak, for example wants to end fracking in the US because it’s the main feed stock of plastics for which the world, not so much the US, has a waste disposal problem. That would immediately kill tens of millions of Americans….
He’s also of course a gun grabber; perhaps we should forgive that for someone who’s father and uncle were notoriously killed with guns, but that doesn’t mean we should let him run the country.
Given how very hard “Biden” is going after guns and gun shops, perhaps worst ever administration for that in many ways albeit with the AFT not murderizing people yet (strangely enough they managed to avoid actually killing anyone until Waco except for a fetus, but it was close) that’s not going to help RFK Jr. Albeit the NRA is MIA due to a justified corruption prosecution and an anti-gun law firm looting it … although that might end favorably for gun owners/members enough before the election.
If our ruling trash tries to cheat “harder and more overtly” … OK, I don’t think we have any reasonable expectations they won’t after they got away with it in 2020 and 2022. But there’s the above possible hurdle where they’ll be obvious but will fail, and the longer they succeed the more they undermine their moral and political position. That has consequences, especially when they’ve overtly declared war on at least half the country.
One other relevant note: they won’t have to assassinate Trump if one of the state prosecutions puts him in prison, which he can’t pardon himself out of unlike a Federal case. @pcachu is right they’re psychotic in the layman’s sense to try, but they’ve got enough remaining wisdom to try lesser means prior to needing that step. Like, they show every sign of knowing they’re flirting with a hot shooting civil war, and in that context they’ve Officially placed nukes on the table…. Which will only work as a terror weapon, but….
