How is trump still a viable candidate for president? Really, how?

Donald Trump is rather different in one respect. He has not softened his spoken intentions to get elected. While Trump is a congenital liar—witness his recent claim that he, not Joe Biden, got $35 insulin for diabetics—when it comes to how he would act if elected again to the presidency, he has been brutally honest, as have his closest advisers and campaign allies. His presidency would feature retribution against his enemies, weaponizing and politicizing the Justice Department to arrest and detain them whether there were valid charges or not. He has pledged to pardon the Jan. 6 violent insurrectionist rioters, who could constitute a personal vigilante army for President Donald Trump, presumably alongside the official one.…*

Birds of a feather: Trump tries to court the youth vote by sitting down with fellow idiot Logan Paul. Will this help him? I’m the wrong generation to ask.

Did Trump gift them Hitler Youth knives or something? (the cheep knock off from China of course).

Is there a thread for trump’s parole officer? I’m curious whether they ever took his passport, and what they plan on doing about trump meeting with fellow felons. That might seriously impact his ability to form an administration.

I just read a comment saying Logan Paul is the Boris Johnson of social media and it made me LOL.

He has a lot in common with Trump as both have been involved in grifting people and both have spent a lot of time working on their brands. I’m sure they got along great.

I remember reading about a political science fascism scale back in 2016. Leaders were ranked in categories like xenophobia, militarism, cultishness, hyper-nationalism, glorification of violence, etc. Hitler and Mussolini maxed out these scores.

The one category where Trump didn’t get any points was related to indoctrinating youth movements such as the Hitler Youth.

I guess Trump sees room for growth.

Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law is trying to get Arab-American folks on the Trump bandwagon. I’m sure it’s just for altruistic reasons.

In my neighborhood there is a busy intersection corner popular with campaign sign erectors. Yesterday a 5-foot tall one appeared:

Protect God’s Constitution
NO KINGS
Vote Democratic

with a gold crown atop the K.

Today a small TRUMP Make America Great Again sign was stuck over the KINGS leaving NO still visible. I’m not sure whether it’s supposed to be a counter-sign or making it clear who the king would be. I’m gonna put one of my FELON :-1: stickers over it anyway.
