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.
Trump has taken every conceivable position on every possible issue. He has both affirmed AND disavowed every position he’s ever held. He was simultaneously both deadly serious and totally kidding when he said they won't have to worry about voting in 4 years. The strategy? No matter the outcome, he can point to ‘evidence’ that he called it right from the beginning. A Spineless, soulless, immoral, amoral, incompetent, gutless flip-flopper.
The big difference is that next time the Republicans aren’t going to wait until the last minute to overthrow the government. Project 2025 has provided the outline. If Trump is elected, they will have four years to purge government services and the military of people who aren’t “loyal”. When the Republicans give the word in 2028, the people in uniform will be on Trump’s side. Evil woke deep state socialists stopped him last time. This time these people will be delt with or not in his way. Project 2025 pretty explicitly lays out the strategy.
In Trumps first term, he didn’t have the Project 2025 people standing behind him whispering in his ear every day. The Project 2025 people were no doubt astonished at how much Trump was able to get away with while he openly broke laws. And they said “Wow, imagine somebody breaking laws like that while they actually had a rational plan guiding them.” This why Trump’s second term would be a lot worse than his first term. This time the crime will be organized.
Plus, Trump cannot admit that he has ever failed at anything, or been anything less than perfect. He can’t say “I’ve learned things since my first term”, or “I’ll do better this time”. When asked why he didn’t take care of the things he wanted to during his first term, he has to deflect the question and find someone else to blame. Trump can't realize the depth of any type of problem. He “tried to drain the swamp”, “No one knew health care was so complicated!” These problems were too numerous and powerful. Now, he knows better, and knows who to fire on Day 1.
When Trump tells his followers that they won’t have to vote in 4 years, he’s really saying that in four years he won’t need them to vote for HIM. And when Trump feels he doesn’t need his followers anymore, they had better look out. Because Trump will be seeking payback for the years when he did need them and they rejected him. Trump’s a billionaire’s son who’s been handed everything he's ever wanted all of his life. What does he know about being poor or working class or even middle class? Those are just the people he stiffs because he’s rich and he knows he can get away with it.
Trump hates his followers because he knows he needs these people he sees as serfs to go out and vote for him or to go out and stage a riot for him. He doesn’t like the reality that he, somebody who sees himself as a king, has to ask for favors from people he sees as peasants.
