Trump Sr and Trump Jr both run, go after each other the hardest until we get Sr saying "I've always been disappointed in you" to his son on live TV
MTG runs explicitly on doing Qanon stuff and wins in a landslide
Rubio comes back for some reason
DeSantis short circuits and reveals his terminator form during the debate
:a-little-trolling: Donald Trump Jr., crowd booing Donald Trump Jr., the big Jr! Or should I say, "little"? crowd roaring with laughter Y'know, I never liked you son. Very rude, very nasty to me and Ivanka. It's true! [Anderson Cooper: Mr. Former-President, the question, please] When you were small you used to stink up the place with your dirty diapers. Very disgraceful, and the vomit, my god, what a mess! *crowd chanting T-R-U-M-P" And please, don't get me started on those pictures of you posing with guns and shooting wild animals, nobody is impressed, especially me.
:tromp: Anderson, Anderson, you're a smart guy. You're a sophisticated fella, so I'm going to clue you into a little secret. This face, this beautiful hair, it's all a facade, it's all phony. It's true! There's a machine under this, and you know what Anderson, I'd like to think this machine plays to win.
MTG runs with Tulsi Gabbard as her running mate. Entire campaign is about talking about “the equality agenda” and how it’s destroying America and gain grounds on a “what about women supporting women” message.
Dems, being Dems, run Kamala who doesn’t speak once for herself for fear of implosion.
In this scenario Biden and Trump both died in a push up competition
Rubio/Cruz/Romney runs and either pulls enough strings to get Trump off of most primary sites or Trump dies in 2023 due to terminal ass implosion. The Republican party, still being thoroughly controlled by capital consolidates around their 2016 dreams in the same way they banded together and left Trump to totally flounder in his attempt to stay in office in 2020. The qanon faction, despite massive popular support, are attempting to seize power in a country where massive popular support doesn't actually matter and they crash into a similar brick wall as the social democratic movement in this country did. This will either kill the culture war completely as it's clear that there's no valid way for the average citizen to influence politics, or send it into unsustainable heights. There is hoopla about a nazbol revival in the United States pushed by the least trustworthy FBI agents posing as leftists and the empire continues to decline as if Jeb! was president for the last two decades.
