Nothing fringe about it. It's what the Republicans are and have been for decades. It's the evil at the heart of an evil political party.

Depends if Trump dies before 2028.

Yeah kinda. MAGA crowd mostly doesn't have the institutional legs to get the old money votes. They're far too radical and when left to their own devices will tear apart state lines that put the old money in place in the first place. Trump's been around long enough and has enough report to actually wade in those waters.

Even Speaker Johnson, who's just openly a theocratic lunatic himself, refuses to work with the MAGA caucus or take them seriously.

I will say this, and then I will speak no more on it.

Using the Keys to the White House, prediction system created by Pro. Allan Lichtman who has accurately predicted every election since 1984 in he says, When five or fewer of the following statements are false, the incumbent party is predicted to win the election. When six or more are false, the incumbent party is predicted to lose.

Currently the keys stand as such.

Midterm gains: FALSE
No primary contest: TRUE
Incumbent seeking re-election: TRUE
No third party: LEANS TRUE
Strong short-term economy: LEANS TRUE
Strong long-term economy: LEANS FALSE
Major policy change: TRUE
No social unrest: TRUE
No scandal: TRUE
No foreign/military failure: LEANS FALSE
Major foreign/military success: LEANS FALSE
Charismatic incumbent: FALSE
Uncharismatic challenger: TRUE

That gives us 4 False Keys with one undecided but will likely lean on False which gives us 5 so as of right now it seems that Biden will win Re-Election.

Let's us never speak of me being here again! I'm going back to playing video games about people having powers after they got bitten by a spider.

You know what sickens me? The news media coverage. The way they treat this like an ordinary election because "we have to cover both sides" bullshit.

They should be preceding every statement about 45 with a mention of the charges he's currently facing and that he contested the election he lost and started a riot. None of this is fucking NORMAL! Gods know this country is FULL to the brim with problems, but we ALWAYS had a peaceful transfer of power until this man disrupted it because nobody ever told him "no" in his entire adult life.

It's very frustrating. The normalization of the inexcusable is at all-time extremes.

Too many yes men, moral cowards, nutsos, and the like to do so. A reminder that Trump doesn't have thousands of supporters, but MILLIONS, TENS OF MILLIONS, and it's because we as a country have failed to curtail this. People WANT Trump to win for no reason, but because they want to destroy democracy and restart America in the same way the Confederates wanted. A religious run racist imperalist empire.

I'd change the Tuna melt to rotten Tuna melt. Technically you can eat it, maybe even stomach it. But even you don't, you will get over it. The other option? Not so much.
I got nothing to say here.
