“This war against Trump is the one that Liz is vowing to win. She’s gonna follow that traitorous charlatan to the gates of Hell if she has to.”
“Even if Cheney cannot deny Trump the nomination, she could still ultimately loosen his hold on the party, this thinking goes, if she persuades enough centrist and white-collar voters to reject him and ensure his defeat in a general election. To save the party, in other words, Cheney might first have to be willing to destroy it.”
i don't see what anyone can do to stop trump.
I had a horrific thought earlier today: a Trump-DeSantis ticket in 2024 (provided that trump isn't in the clink and desantis's ego gets out of the way for him to take the VP nomination). I think that can crank up that base to vote, and don't see any democrat mustering enough national excitement to get more votes.
He's going to pick Stefanik.
The GOP candidate for Florida's 20th House District, Luis Miguel, is permanently suspended from Twitter after he advocates shooting federal agents.
“Under my plan, all Floridians will be able to shoot FBI, IRS, ATF, and all other federal troops on sight,” Miguel tweeted. “Let freedom ring.”
Miguel told Florida Politics Friday the suspension, which is “permanent” per a message he got on his Twitter app, “doesn’t affect (him) at all.” He stands by the proposal, which he says is justified because the IRS has been “weaponized by dissident forces.”
Luis Miguel is now voicing what the far right has been thinking for years. They have the weapons and the willingness to use them. The left provides little in the way of opposition. They are basically unarmed and prefer to argue. A useful percentage of police departments are sympathetic or supportive of their right wing beliefs. The reserves and national guards can't be counted on to oppose them due to sympathy and support as well. The biggest obstacle to violent overthrow on a federal and state level are federal and state enforcement agents. Miguel says take them out and declare your intentions. Injecting the US Armed forces is the last option and the Pentagon is adverse to action in country.
How many folks on this forum have the means and willingness to actually fight for your beliefs if the local police didn't do it for you? Do you think your angry words and snide remarks would work?
