He should wait four years. Trump has done such a good job he really deserves two terms. Oh then of course we need 8 years for Ivanka, 8 for Jared, 8 for Don Jr. and 8 for Barron. Then he can run. I mean, the country will be just six wealthy people shitting on a pile of skulls at that point, but he’s got a real shot. ---

The only thing that makes me want to cry about Trump is knowing how utterly stupid and backwards the GOP really are. Well I guess the north of 100 thousand Americans that died because of Trumps personal incompetence. Oh, and the loss of American prestige. Oh, and those kids in the cages. And the damage to the climate. I guess there’s plenty of reason to cry. I mean, if you aren’t a stupid amoral dipshit. ---

Well I guess you would have locked the country down and entered Marshall Law and shot people on site if the were violating the “lock-down” in order to protect the country. ---

That’s exactly the sort of thing a stupid person would take from what I said. ---

Why? You have no intention of bettering yourself or learning. Your devotion to the GOP is emotional. I might as well try to talk a Seventh Day Adventist out of their religion by telling them their founder was serially wrong about the end times. ---

While there are a ton of people who vote republican who are decent people, the Party, as an entity, has skewed hard right to cater to the most radical and basest instincts of their voters. They have done this because they now see that what those voters are looking for is Trump (or someone like him) and his brand of non-governance. The Party knows that unless they embrace chaos as a brand, the GOP will die a sniveling death. Look for it to get much, much worse. ---

Lol, if by bettering myself, you mean promoting getting paid for not working, free “Everything” because it should be, and burning/tearing the man down! No I do not! ---

I agree. There are good Republican voters. There are very few good republican voters that are actually informed though. The tent is ignorant people, delusional people, single-issue gun/abortion voters, the evil, and the greedy. ---

I mean, if you’re like every other RW media brainwashed dipshit, and you certainly are, nearly everything you believe about politics is the result of a cynical attempt to persuade you via invective and dramatic framing. You live in a fantasy world. It’s beyond the scope of this thread to make you less self-destructively stupid. And that would be assuming that you weren’t a dishonest piece of amoral filth, and actually had a genuine desire to improve yourself. ---

The scope of a thread where it is discussed about the world being better off with out me in it, with some thinking i should be killed or put into a re-education camp. On a message board that has lost scientific advisors/contributors because they were driven out since they were conservative, voted Republican? um, go fuck yourself! ---

Actually, go fuck yourself on the RW media brainwash shit. I have local news channels, you can only blame Fox so long and so far for your stupidity. ---

I don’t want you killed or sent to a reeducation camp. I would rather you never became a delusional asshole tho. ---
