US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Sithis]

For me the saddest thing about Ron's implosion is there was a time I really thought he was the heir apparent. But it was just all a facade and I'd imagine if the truth were known he took a bit of coaching from Trump too. But as y'all have stated, he just cannot act naturally in public, he gets flustered easily and can barely hide his thinly veiled contempt for his voting base. I don't even know how the fuck he survived in the military unless he was just one of those pencil pushing dweebs who never really did anything, he seems like the kind of guy who would stand around making awkward jokes in the showers and then giggling to himself.

 

[The Last Stand]

Ron DeSantis is the political equivalent of an "anti-woke" influencer. Basic talking points against the social establishment with no personality or awareness when interacting with the public. Almost like a typical A&N user if I think about it.

 

[Mr Bunny]

Like the typical the A&H user he doesn't want to fuck old hilldog, idk you sort of making me like him with that point.

 

[Celebrate Nite]

Almost like a typical A&N user if I think about it.

And yet you post here frequently, so you're just as bad as the rest of "us".

That's not the "gotcha" you think it is, stop with these low-tier baits for neg reactions and stickers.

 

[Morethanabitfoolish]

That's not the "gotcha" you think it is, stop with these low-tier baits for neg reactions and stickers.

Replying to the bait is not any more dignified than giving a sticker. By definition it's a reaction.

Are you 100% certain on that? Ron seems willing to do a lot of things to win.

 

[make_it_so]

They won't do this because it would remove the only level of leverage they have on Trump right now - his party affiliation.

While they hate him, the establishment right is utterly reliant on his base, and fucking knows it.

You are really overestimating the competence of the GOP political establishment. Remember, these are the people who saw Ross Perot's populist Third Party insurgent run draw off huge swaths of the GOP voting base and cost H.W. Bush the White House, and concluded that the only lesson to be learned from that fiasco is "Third Party candidates need to be banned from participating in the Presidential debates."

Good. Vote for him then.

 

[Extreme Crusader]

They'd end up making Trump the ultimate martyr. His death would be THE polarizing moment that would cripple American politics indefinitely.

Kill the Orange Pussy Man to cripple the government... Based?

If they were competent, half this thread wouldn't be a thing.

 

[Snekposter]

Any idea why they would even be asking this?

Its afraid.

More seriously, they're probably realizing they're juuust a bit out of touch with their base and are hoping things aren't as bad as they fear they are. And indeed, they aren't. They're a good bit worse than that, actually.

 

[Breadbassket]

Anything related to the GOP as an entity is the greatest source of stickers here. That should say something.

And that stunt got another Bush into the White House twice. Doesn't sound so dumb to me.

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

I'm starting to think Ron's candidacy is being driven by people who want to sabotage his potential to be Trump's successor. He could be Trump's Favorite Governor and run in '28 with The Donald behind him. Instead, he's rudderless retard with no fan base, and I doubt he can recover.

I 100% think it is this.

If they were competent, half this thread wouldn't be a thing.

if the Gope were competent and not trying to "Lose Gracefully":

Are you serious. When has anyone ever listened to their teachers in school for anything ever?

Believe me, their subconscious mind will pick up undertones and influence they way they think in adulthood. High school and college is when young people start to carve out their ideologies. Think back to all the high school English classes you had on George Bernard Shaw or Arthur Miller and their works praising feminist messages and condemning anti-communism respectfully. The rot has been there for a LONG time.

I remember some poll cited years ago that about 70 odd percent of high school students saw America itself in a good light.

When it came to college students, it plummeted very very hard.

Thanks to boomers pushing for college education and credentials bullshit in everything. The bachelor's degree is no different than a high school diploma decades ago.

It's the masters degree that is considered an acceptable baseline for the white collar professional management caste.

So we got students who are now spending almost close to a decade within American universities being taught all sorts of bullshit with professors quoting or using works from Harvard.

Speaking of which, are Republicans going to even bother to reform their universities in places like Wyoming and Dakotas, setting aside even states like Texas and Florida to go hardcore rooting it all out. Or just sit on their asses once Trump goes away.

In fairness Bush was seen as the lesser of two known evils. Compared to songbird (shitbird) and unindicted member of the Keating 5 McCain. Since the proto-anonymous and proto-kiwis scoured both their military, political, business and personal records, and everything else they could get their hands on offline and online. Bush at worse is a Bush and had very little political experience at the time.

Based on how they've responded to everything from the anarchy of 2020 to the racial/gender insanity that's accelerated in the years since, what do you think?

They'll do like they've done since the 70's.

"We have to act with decorum, what if our enemies did this..."
>Shit themselves
>Do nothing.

 

[Gehenna]

why is the base fracturing?

Is this a serious question? I know you are generally a good poster but the question is odd...

How are they -not- fracturing?
The rabid "Post birth abortion" crowd alienates everyone else.
Muslims hate their gay coalition and their trans right bullshit... so do their black voters!
Constant cannibalism and infighting.
An ever-increasing hatred of their main figure head
The continued existence of California providing face to their lies.

In short: Every single major member of their faction hates every single other member of their faction. They have been splitting apart for years but got new life under the cult of Obama and newer life after in a mutual seething hatred of Trump. Without Trump in office they began the infighting, so a big part of his persecution is trying to keep the old gang together. It has met with mixed but not negligible success.

Do something? That's big government thinking, bucko. What do you think we are, some kind of big government socialist party?
