Good. Trump needs a lot more than the MAGA cult to win an election (I wish I didn’t have to keep saying this). If we can convince them to start spreading the rumor about bigfoot in Ohio to the point that Vance and/or Trump starts talking about it, plenty of people leaning right will say, “this dude is nuts. No way am I voting for him.” They might not vote for Harris, but they also might not vote at all.

But he doesn’t in order to seize power undemocratically, which is his real game plan here. Remember, the NAZIs never had more than 30-something percent support in 1930s Germany, either.

Okay, but that’s a totally different issue from what we’re discussing.

Also, he doesn’t have the concentration of people to do it. January 6th happened because he was able to concentrate people in D.C. and was president at the time.

No it’s not…if you think for a second that’s not the end game you’re going to be very disappointed when they steal the election

Ideology for many of the conservative mindset is more important that principles. The Democratic leaning voters are the ones that can be fickle enough to stay home but the Republicans would still vote

Plenty of prominent Republicans are already turning against him.

The problem with all these “prominent” Republicans is I think they’re all liars. I think every last one will still vote for him come election day.

I don’t hear any of that outside the prominent ones. The smaller local ones are dead set on voting for Trump in my neck of the woods. But we have the nutters like Matt Shea constantly siring the pot and North Idaho seems like a powder keg waiting to go off. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone doesn’t try another Ruby Ridge type standoff in the next 5 years.

Indeed, at this point I’m expecting Trump to lose hard simply because he only has the MAGA cult and a few “Vote Red or we’re all dead” types
