Two different things - traditional "fiscal/conservative Republicans" are damn near dodo birds now.

This is their (trad Reps and MAGA/christofascist) last crack at the prize, the great white hope so to speak - statewide they have gerrymandered themselves into ineffectuality and nationally cannot win otherwise.

Post Trump they will have some issues. Bigly.

One thing you have to give to Trump, he created an enduring brand (or was lucky enough to chance upon the right combination) with equally stubborn and stable grass roots support, none of the other recent popular favourites on either side don't seem to come close, even Sanders. AOC and the likes are too narrow in appeal so far, Palin didn't last.

 

Maybe it's the power of celebrity. It is really bizarre to me how easily a joke candidate can now transform into a proper political force. Bolsonaro also started as a joke. Even Zelensky was a comedian who first played the president on TV. Johnson and his buffoonery. This guy now in Argentina must have also started as a joke.

Yep. There is no competition now. The cult of personality will get the rapist over the line and then all hell breaks loose.

 

Is civil war in the US possible? You never know...

If you had a civil war in the states and a Trump faction, I suspect it would lose quite quickly. Much like Johnson couldn't handle the pandemic and Truss couldn't handle the economy, sometimes being brain dead means words can't translate to effective actions.

 

I read an article a couple of years ago about somewhere in california which had gone full maga and it was falling to bits. I think they'd lost two health chiefs in a few weeks because of the anti vax stuff and the head of schools had been chased out with pitchforks because of books with gays in or some shit.

 

If anything, these people are only able to get away with their yap and steal a career because ordinary folk prop the place up for them to continually shit on it.

Much like the Tories in this country, the intangible shite they get elected on (make America great again, let's take back our sovereignty etc.) sounds seductive to the hard of thinking, but it unravels pretty quickly. They then get angry that the non-existent shite they believed in doesn't actually exist.

They're continually angry about stuff they themselves have helped bring to pass. 

 

Angry - elect tories 

Still angry- elect more tories 

Still angry - want brexit

Still angry- want Johnson 

Still angry - get johnson 

still angry - get brexit 

Still angry - want truss

Still angry- get truss

Still angry - lose truss

 

Still angry...to be contunued.

As shit on Israel / Gaza as Biden has been, Trump would be even worse. He moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which utterly delighted and emboldened the right in Israel, and he loves Benjamin "dismantle the courts" Netanyahu - as he loves any other 'strongman' leader who basically shits all over the idea of governance and accountability (Erdogan, Kim Jong-un, Putin, Xi etc.).

 

Basically whatever flaw you land on with Biden (and he has many) - Trump is even more flawed.

Texas and Abbott doing their best to fafo.

 

“That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary. The Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other Texas personnel are acting on that authority, as well as state law, to secure the Texas border,” wrote Abbott.

It's pretty likely isn't it?

 

If we end up with Trump and Johnson in charge (again) I reckon it's time for whatever higher being there is to bring on the floods. Get humanity to fuck.

He's no longer an MP. That's just for starters. 

 

So what?

 

This is just a couple weeks ago:

 

Less than 18 months after he was ousted as Prime Minister, Boris Johnson could make a sensational comeback to the Downing Street. According to reports from the local media, the former PM could also join hands with former UKIP and Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage, who is currently participating in I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.

The development comes after current UK PM Rishi Sunak drew flak over his plan to send failed asylum seekers to Rwanda, a decision stroke down by the country's Supreme Court.

Rivals of Sunak are purportedly viewing Johnson as the sole Conservative capable of consolidating support in the so-called Red Wall seats in the Midlands and North, which he secured four years ago.
 

Johnson relinquished his MP position earlier this year, and his supporters speculate that if one of their peers resigned ahead of the election to pave the way for him, the party would be unable to obstruct his candidacy.
