The Atlantic had a good story recently about political parties, and how they consider the popular vote, but they can also work to prevent bat shit crazy candidates like, well…. It said that viruntly anti-Semite Henry Ford tried to run but was nixed by the party, for example.

Not working well on the Republican side because they nominated their own version of Henry Ford absent the success in business.

MAGAs still find a way to surprise me. I expect them to say crazy shit, but some of the shit I could never even imagine.

A YTer said that they hated Kamala and called her one of the most vile people alive. Nothing unusual there, I asked how they felt about Trump cheating on his wife with a porn star, and everything else he's been accused of. And I inquired why Kamala was so vile of a human. They replied "I can't stand her Hyena laugh" I know there's pages of shit that person would hate about her. But apparently one of their main issues is her laugh. And yes they said it's worse than Diaper Don being a convicted felon and him sleeping with a porn star. Unlike most MAGAs they didn't deny he broke laws, they just brushed it off as a political attack, because his crimes aren't even that serious.

A person getting that angry over her laugh is hilarious lol. And a few other MAGAs chimed in agreeing how awful her laugh is. I had never paid attention to her laugh, but I guess this is a thing. At least in MAGA land. It has me curious to go look up a video to see how much they're exaggerating here. They take petty to a new level lol

Well... it is simpler; their leader sez you must hate her; so now they have to invent a reason to hate her - it isn't logic; it is just the situation with weak minded fools.

If they were actually intelligent they wouldn't have supported the 'don' in the first place.

Having said that I'm not a huge Kamala fan; and have a lot of things i dislike about her but they pale compared to the things I dislike about Trump.

Trump has long been transparently envious of various dictators and their power to make their every whim manifest. He is extremely jealous of present and past rulers like Kim, Putin and Duterte.

This is nothing new. In the run up to 2016 he said he'd be in favor of trying Americans accused of terrorism in out of country military tribunals. Holy 6th amendment batman; we have a right to trial. That interview with the Miami Herald--which stuck with me certainly---was lost with the whole "grab em by the pussy" comment that happened right afterward.

A whole shit-ton of Americans simply don't care if the President has dictatorial powers--or want it to be so--provided it's their horse.

Probably somewhat comes from the fact that Congress has neutered it's power, and it's easy for a minority to block popular legislative ideas, so fewer laws get passed, and people just get fed up.

I fail to see how even his braindead cult could see this as a positive. At absolute best if he wins he's going to be over 80 in 4 years. What exactly happens when he's too old or dies? The thought of Trump living to 95 or something and being president is terrifying. And if he dies we get his VP as president?

This is from his brain so obviously it's not intelligent thinking or something he's thought thru. And I'm still guessing his cult is eating up the idea. And this isn't just talk, if he win he'll try, unsuccessfully. But he would really want this country to have another civil war so he could stay in power.

The fact is there's still a chance he could win here, even if it's small. This doesn't seem like reality to me. This election should be so lopsided I'm laughing at everything he says and does. But until he loses I'm legit frightened of the possibility. Hell, I'm still confused how he even got the GOP nomination.

They all now endorse what occurred on Jan 6th, 2021.
To put it simply, such confusion occurs when you overestimate humans. We are still cavemen.
