        Trump is never coming near power again, not after Jan 6

        They'll engineer a nightmare scenario where he wins the popular vote but loses the electoral vote if necessary

        But it probably won't come to that, people are putting unwise faith in these polls

          Yeah I’m just not convinced. Not saying you are wrong, but it’s hard for me to not assume the worst.

            I'm not fully convinced they'll stop him either, but I am convinced the media/capital/intelligence class of people actually were very terrified of January 6th. It was the closest thing they ever felt to consequences. They'll try anything they can

              I don’t believe this a bit. The “terrified” vibe was purely media and manufactured. Nobody in the CIA or FBI gives a shit. Maybe some of the stupider Democrats are scared

            Stopping Trump through some unfair means and him losing is probably a “worse” scenario. Ukraine war continues, genocidal Dems go unpunished and the chuds will be in full on violent revolt
