Anxiety surges as Donald Trump may be indicted soon: Why 2024 is 'the final battle' and 'the big one'​


WASHINGTON – It looks like American politics is entering a new age of anxiety, triggered by an unprecedented legal development: The potential indictment of a former president and current presidential candidate.

Donald Trump's many legal problems – and calls for protests by his followers – have generated new fears of political violence and anxiety about the unknowable impact all this will have on the already-tense 2024 presidential election


I’ll reframe this is a more accurate way, Are Presidents above the law? This new age was spurred into existence when home grown dummies elected a corrupt, mentally ill, anti-democratic, would be dictator as President and don’t bother to hold him responsible for his crimes, don’t want to because in the ensuing mayhem and destruction, they think they will be better off. The man is actually advocating violence (not the first time). And btw, screw democracy too. If this feeling spreads, we are In deep shirt.

This goes beyond one treasonous Peice of work and out to all his minions. This is on you or should we be sympathetic to the idea of they can’t help being selfish suckers to the Nation’s detriment? Donald Trump is the single largest individual threat to our democracy and it‘s all going to boil down to will the majority of the GOP return to his embrace and start slinging his excrement to support him?
 
That doesn’t shift the blame away from the people that voted for Trump.
I just asked a simple question. Folks around here seem to be of the opinion that folks didn’t vote for Harris because they were racists or sexists or facists or whatever. They can’t ever entertain the possibility that it might have been because their candidate ran a lousy campaign or maybe just want a good candidate.

So I asked a simple question. If you had it to do over, would you run a better candidate. Was that their “A” game? I will readily admit that Trump was far from the best candidate that the GOP had to offer IMO. I don’t think Harris was the best candidate the Dems had to offer.

So Jack, what do you think? If it was your decision, would you run her again? It isn’t about blame. It is about what would you have changed in hindsight.

There is a Harris thread or you can start your own. This thread is about Trump. It’s beyond obvious that you, as a completely partisan person, don’t want to talk about Trump or the GOP’s failure to honor their sworn oaths.

That doesn’t mean you get to highjack every conversation about Trump and try to make it about Biden, or Harris or the Dems. There are threads for each of these.

If anyone stayed on the Trump bandwagon after the insurrection, it is their fault.

To use your own words “ The ignore option is free dear.”
 
You’re trying to pass the blame of Republicans that voted/still supported Trump.
I don’t care the candidate, if anyone still voted for Trump at this point; it is their fault.
I’m not the one who blames anyone for their vote. There are enough folks around here who do that. Folks who voted for Trump are certainly responsible for that decision.

All I am asking is whether in hindsight, would you run the same candidate against a man you obviously loath. It is basically a question regarding strategy Jack. The fact that no one wants to answer the question is an answer in itself.

Youre trying to put standards on Dems when youre refusing to put that on the Republicans.
Trump is by far the worst candidate/president of my lifetime.
He may have not lead the insurrection directly, but he sat around and happily watched it happen.
He has made jokes about a disabled reporter. Women. Immigrants. He is a disgrace. And you know it.
Anyone in 2026 that is still supporting Trump has themselves to blame.

Repeated threadjacking is not allowed. Especially when done deliberately after being asked to stop.

You can discuss other topics in their own threads - or create your own thread.

This thread is about Trump. Not the Democratic Party. Take your comments where they belong.
 
I agree with you in that Trump is a terrible candidate. I agree with you that Republicans should never have nominated him. I have never said differently. As I said, the fact that no one here will answer my simple question says all we need to know.

Yes and what it says that we all know is that we all know you're asking a bullshirt question to defend and deflect attention away from Trump, and people aren't taking the bait anymore.

Kamala Harris was a valid and good enough candidate to vote for. Trump was not a valid or good candidate in any way. Not nearly enough of the people that voted for Trump would have voted for any other Democratic candidate for president.

That's why you never tell us who these mythical "better" candidates are that people would have voted for instead of Trump. You stand a better chance of finding a unicorn and Sasquatch love child than any Democratic candidate that Trump voters would have voted for over Trump.

And you very well know that, @TampaJoe, Your deflection and detraction games that you try play to support Repubicans and Trump don't work anymore. They backfire on you instead.
 
Sure it is important. There are many conservatives and Republicans that wish there had been a different nominee. A better choice. I’m wondering if Democrats had it to do over again, would they have picked a different candidate for 2024.

My point is that the established parties are doing this nation no favors. We should have better choices for the highest office in this country and arguably one of the most important positions in the world.
You keep trying to redirect the conversation away from the core point I was making. A Republican from PA was interviewed and she stated that she was an idiot for voting for Trump 3 times. She implied that she regrets the choice, but I suspect she wouldn’t make a different choice if she actually could.

Clearly, some people would rather see the world burn than see Biden/Harris President. It’s pretty way to see we’d be far better off with one of them President. Anyone saying otherwise is part of the cult.
 
That doesn’t shift the blame away from the people that voted for Trump.
Also doesn’t shift the blame away from those who didn’t vote. They’re as much responsible for Trump getting elected as anyone else. Those non-votes were essentially saying they accept whatever outcome. Making excuses for not voting is chickensheet. A variation of TACO, yeah.
