Insightful question.
McCain’s choosing Sarah Palin did me in. GW Bush was hard enough to take seriously. Ever since Palin it’s been a parade of clowns from the GOP.
We’ll see if we’ve hit bottom yet.
This. Exactly.
MAGA talking heads blame Biden but never give reasons.
We’d be in the same mess if Trump had won. It’s the one, small reason I’d like to see Trump in office again. Instead of coasting on good momentum he’d fail miserably trying to actually fix stuff.
This is the same guy who falsely claimed to be assaulted in a Sioux Falls hotel elevator in 2021, so there’s that.
Sounds like the FBI might have confirmed this one, though.
Hardees in Mankato? I’ve been there. What a dive. What I don’t understand is why such a good Republican wasn’t at Pizza Ranch.
If this had succeeded…
That must remain in the forefront of all responses to this.
Trump regaining power means the end of this nation.
He must be held accountable.
Not sure that was an accomplishment, though. Joe Biden was the default, less bad than TFG.
I think TFG won Biden's election for him. "Anyone But Trump" was a sizeable chunk of Biden's winning majority, I suspect.
I followed the thread on the old site, too.
I’m losing hope that a critical mass of “normal” exists in the USA - or that it ever will in my lifetime.
I used to find this thread amusing, still hoping that sensibility would prevail. I hoped enough people would imagine what this country would’ve looked like if January 6 had succeeded. (Who would want THAT mob to be in charge?)
It was amusing. I feel more futility now. Do we have what it takes as a nation to call out this crap?
