Ok, this is laughably pathetic. Chris Christie, former NJ governor, didn't submit enough signatures in the state of Maine to even get on the Republican primary ballot.

Everyone point and giggle.

Sure, it's possible to win the primary without winning a specific state, but that would require a viable candidate. Why the fuck is Christie even running? Who decided THAT was a good idea?

Christie, the one, and only one, who speaks out against the orange madman? I will wager Maga, trump, etc, are not screaming political hitjob, conspiracy, witch-hunt, Hunter Biden's laptop, Hilary someone, at Chris Christie being off the Maine ballot. From that you can tell how little Maga truly care about democracy, even for the GOP.

Why would anyone be screaming anything? I don't think Christie has enough support to be a threat to anyone in the primary, much less the general election.

Really, I would believe a DNC conspiracy if he actually won the primary. Anywhere. I don't see his campaign lasting through the end of April.

The republicans are doing a lot of baby screaming and baying about justice for some crime lord Hunter. The republicans have no interest in democracy, law and order. That much is now clear to me.

When do you think I will see Civil War part 2. Oh, that is coming soon. Its part 3 isn't it? I can hardly keep up these days with your lots madness.

You almost seem to be cheering on another civil war here. I hope you're disappointed, if that's the case.

I would like to think that nobody might be cheering on a civil war, anywhere.
But i would agree that many events and elements of public discussions I can watch from afar are paving a path to something like that in the US. These days I can't join any glorification of the US as the ultimate climax of civilisation. And I fear, whatever happens in your country will affect others too, and not on a favourable way.

I am not joking.

It took Hitler 15 years from the time he was jailed for the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Hall_Putsch. 1923, he was sentenced to 5 years (light, as some people sympathized with him) he served about 1 year, I think.

When the Nazi party came to power they only received 44% of the vote. I think they received 3% first time around.

The Night of the Long Knives, or the Röhm purge or Röhm Coup (German: Der Röhm-Putsch), also called Operation Hummingbird (Unternehmen Kolibri), was a purge that took place in Nazi Germany from 30 June to 2 July 1934. Chancellor Adolf Hitler, urged on by Hermann Göring and Heinrich Himmler, ordered a series of political extrajudicial executions intended to consolidate his power and alleviate the concerns of the German military about the role of Ernst Röhm and the Sturmabteilung.

I am pretty sure blnymph knows what I am saying?
You should too given the fake electorates, and the fact every republican in the house chose not to ratify Joe Biden.

It is that bad Jvov. I dont know why you cant see it, you seem decent and intelligent.

Putin did it quicker.

I choose to have hope that it won't be that bad here. I am disabled and gay, so any sort of purge would likely include me. But there doesn't even have to be a purge. Like millions of Americans, I depend on my Social Security check each month. any attack on "entitlements" is an attack on me.

I know enough about Hitler, and I know the possible evils a second term for Trump may bring. And since most of those possible evils leads to my death, I'd prefer something else to happen.

You can dwell on the doom & gloom if you please, but I prefer not to. And I shall vote accordingly.

It would be best for the Republican party if someone else wins the nomination. if that doesn't happen, then maybe there will be a guilty verdict in Georgia. If that fails, a second term for Joe Biden is our only hope.

Criticizing our only hope doesn't make sense to me, though nobody has claimed Biden to be a perfect candidate. Offering ideas that have absolutely no possibility of becoming reality doesn't help either.

There are a multitude of steps along the way to prevent a doomsday scenario with a second Trump presidency. But for evil to win, the good have to do nothing.

I am glad to read your voice of hope, and I would not critisize any of it.
Although I also share most of wd's bad visions.
Post-war Germans like me were obsessed with the question "How was all this possible?" , and we were, and still are, fed with facts about the rise and fall of the Braunau man with the brush under his nose. Becoming a professional historian maybe made me even more sensitive about certain developments and mindsets. But I never thought something even if only vaguely similar could happen again anywhere, and these days, many events in the USA, of all places, ring one bell after another. And I can see some of the consequences of what already happened, even at the present time, with no re-election yet.

Even if Biden wins a second term, Congress is likely to be entirely Republican controlled. This will mean very little will actually be accomplished, Biden would have to veto quite a few bills, but some GOO demands would have to get through, for any of Biden's agenda to become reality. A government shutdown would be very likely, possibly for 2025 and 26.

Of course, that same GOP Congress would be in place if Trump wins. The international consequences of that would be dire. Support for Ukraine would be in jeopardy, for sure.
