    This is the only way to reconcile the two different strains of brainworms inhabiting my boomer coworker’s head. On the one hand, she comes from a family Republican cops and was excited to see the rise of Trump. On the other hand, she has an obsession with anybody named Kennedy just like everyone else from the Northeast over the age of 60. This is the synthesis she needs.

      After JFK’s head did that, Americans have this god like reverence for anybody whose name ends in -FK. The lack of materialism leads them to believe that the Kennedy family is full of rebels who will expose the deep state just because one of them flew too close to the sun lol. It doesn’t help that all the Kennedy’s after JFK and RFK are useless human beings who ride the coattails of their dead grandpa or whatever instead of creating their own legacy.

      Felix has been guessing the funniest outcome for years now and has a fairly solid record of being correct. He predicted Genocide Joe actually winning the primaries in 2020 when Biden was essentially out of race before SC and the Obama calls went out. Since then I’ve also shared his view.

      If the US ends up Balkanizing over a made up border crisis that the dems are desperately and actively helping republicans fabricate

      That would be pretty funny

      The first civil war will always have themes of like righteous and moral fortitude. Not that everyone was there for the cause of emancipation, but that was the end result.

      And civil war two is like a limp dicked, cum barely dribbling out of a 45 year old divorced dad’s cock. Fought over some bullshit lies and exaggerations based on racism that both parties actually agreed on. I mean, that’s pretty fucking funny. Am I probably going to die? I dunno. But if I do die due to this conflict it will undoubtedly have been for absolutely nothing! And that’s kinda funny

      We’ll see. He’s got an enormous headwind and he’s not nearly as popular in the Midwest as he was in 2016.

      They’re both deeply unappealing candidates with these deranged bases of support.

          Obama 2008. And even then, only appealing to the segment of the population not biting through its own tongue trying not to say the N-word.

          Also - and, admittedly, this was just during the primary - but I’m going to take a bold position and say I found Bernie Sanders appealing.

        it’s so fitting that an impeached former president who is on trial for trying to rig the election is polling ahead of the sitting president, who doesn’t really ever know where he’s at or what he’s saying but is 110% down with openly supporting genocide by funding it and starting further wars to protect it.

        You can’t get any more American than this.

    I’m old enough to remember Fox trying to convince the public that he is a “dEmOcRaT”

      Haley wouldnt take it imo because most of her fanbase comes from not being Trump. She has more to lose and less to gain unless Trump dies, which isnt non-zero but damn she’d be essentially out of politics for 4 years if he didnt.
