Thanks, New York Times, but I prefer more realistic scenarios like “Which Harry Potter Character Is Your Soul Mate?” Image
1. The American people do not have the attention span for 6 viable political parties
2. As it stands, we barely have two
3. They are nominally called “Democrats” & “Republicans”, in what I presume is a nod to tradition
4. More accurate party monikers would be “TRUMP” vs. “OTHER”
5. It is not news that most Americans hold views that fall outside the confines of our current Party designations
6. That is irrelevant to the pragmatic issues which Americans currently face
7. The GOP is currently a single, proto-fascist entity trying to destroy our democratic institutions
8. If we wish to preserve these aforementioned institutions, that requires the rest of us banding together behind an opposition Party with numbers sufficient to defeat them
9. The EC sucks
10. So does gerrymandering
11. Any system designed to marginalize the will of the people sucks
12. But we can’t change anything unless we’re in power
13. I wish more Democrats had the will to do that
14. And yes, that is a big reason why so many seek alternatives Image
15. Not to put too fine a point on it, but after the 2020 election the Republican Party FULLY ABANDONED the very idea of a “republic”
16. As I’ve said before, anyone who cites “voter fraud” after 60 unsuccessful attempts to prove it in court doesn’t really care about voter fraud

D: Why do you think the terrorists attacked us?

R: Because they hate our freedom

⭐️ 2021 ⭐️

D: Why do you think we have mask and vaccine mandates?

R: Because you hate our freedom

D: Maybe you would reach a different conclusion if you listened to what the CDC was telling us

R: But it’s FAKE NEWS

D: Oh, FFS

R: Once you understand COVID is a Democrat hoax no worse than the flu, it becomes quite obvious that mandates are part of an anti-freedom agenda
D: So you think the US government is enforcing lockdowns because they hate our personal freedom, & that’s it?

R: In the words of Sherlock Holmes: once we eliminate everything that we have been repeatedly told is impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth

⭐️ SEPT 8 ⭐️

R: The COVID-19 resurgence is a testament to the failure of Joe Biden

D: Biden didn’t fail; you just refuse to take the vaccine

R: I repeat: Biden failed

D: What do you want him to do

R: 😂

⭐️ SEPT 9 ⭐️

BIDEN: I am announcing a vaccine mandate

R: NOOOOOOOO!!!
R: Biden has clearly overstepped his boundaries! If he wants us to take a vaccine, it’s his responsibility to persuade us with logic & reason

D: He tried that for months; you clearly won’t listen

R: Well, it’s his fault for trusting obvious charlatans like Dr. Fauci & the CDC
D: There’s nothing untrustworthy about Biden or any of his sources

R: But what about the Infowars report revealing that the vaccine is turning white boys into transgender Mexican prostitutes

D: That sounds less than fully legit

R: You only say that because you’re brainwashed

REPUBLICAN FAILED PREDICTION:

- The Coronavirus will go away by itself

DEMOCRATIC FAILED PREDICTION:

- Trumpism will go away by itself

Regrettably, the predictions of both Parties seem congruent with their self-imposed limitations & their unwillingness to pursue alternatives.
Put another way: Our elected Democrats keep making these predictions because they really, really, REALLY hate to consider other, more aggressive alternatives
I don’t think it’s too far from conventional wisdom to predict an anti-Biden Red Wave in 2022. That’s just the way midterm elections work.

Nor am I talking out of turn to predict a Trump “rematch” candidacy in 2024. (Just imagine the long odds of any Republican defeating him.)

R: Joe Biden has some nerve invoking the name of his veteran son alongside soldiers killed in battle when his son died for a completely different reason

TRUMP: WHY SHOULD I VISIT THAT MILITARY CEMETERY? IT IS FILLED WITH SUCKERS AND LOSERS!

R: How can Biden be so disrespectful
D: Your outrage seems misplaced

R: Well, Biden shouldn’t disrespect the soldiers who gave their lives for their country

TRUMP: I PREFER THE SOLDIERS WHO WEREN’T CAPTURED!

R: Oh, that was campaign trash talk

TRUMP: I WILL NOT SUPPORT THAT LOSER’S FUNERAL!

R: More trash talk
R: My point is, why did Biden have to make it about himself?

TRUMP: I HAD THE TALLEST BUILDING IN NEW YORK AFTER 9/11! THE TROOPS LOVE ME! I SHOULD HAVE A MILITARY PARADE! FOR $50, YOU CAN PLEDGE YOUR UNDYING LOYALTY TO TRUMP!

R: It’s always “Me, me, me” with this Biden guy

What a crazy, crazy coincidence than an anti-mask rally also attracts white supremacists
Right-wingers are constantly informing me of all the vaccine skeptics in the black community, but for some strange reason they never seem to show up at these things
The most vocal opponents of COVID restrictions indicate that their movement has been fully integrated into the Make America Great Again ecosystem of white identity politics

1. I think ascribing an entire article to “an anonymous confidant” is very sketchy
2. But the premise is very likely true
3. The entire GOP has been co-opted by Trump’s personal vendetta
4. So yes, I’m calling it: Trump will run again rawstory.com/heir-trump/
5. Trump certainly won’t sit back & support another Republican who runs for the office he believes is rightfully his
6. I don’t think he’ll just sabotage the GOP if there’s nothing in it for him
7. Furthermore, the odds of a primary challenger beating Trump are almost nonexistent
8. If Trump is the nominee, that equates to Trump Declaring Victory No Matter What Happens
9. We all remember 1/6, although some clearly remember it differently than others
10. If Democrats want to prevent a 1/6 sequel, they need to prepare for it NOW
