So his first amendment right is to call for the murder of the top military, disparage election processes and their employees, intimidate witnesses that are part of an investigation against him as well as the judiciaries in charge of that process. But no one in anyway shape or form are allowed to call him out on this.

They come after a Washington Post poll gave Trump a 10-point lead over Joe Biden, who beat him in 2020, in a notional 2024 general election matchup.

And yet somehow this idea of government by a fascist dictator seems to really appeal to a lot of people. It’s hard to understand why people find this so attractive. I guess it’s selfishness and the mistaken notion that he would work for their interests.

All Biden has to do is drop out of the race. Literally any other dem would trounce this criminal clown. Unfortunately since Biden is the best guarantee of not upsetting the status quo, it won’t happen, and the monied interests risk losing democracy to a fascist dictator in order to possibly save a few tax dollars.

I kind of agree with this one. However, I feel that boat is sailing as any new candidate will have to build up credibility.

Unfortunately, fascism isn’t bad for business, possibly even the opposite. So those monied interests care a lot less than us peons.

that wapo poll has to be an outlier, like how the fuck is trump 10% more popular than he was when he lost to biden, and after 1/6?

Sure they are allowed to. But they don’t.
