There are a lot of variables before November:
  • Trump's legal status. Will people believe he has been persecuted? What will happen in the various civil and criminal investigations? How will the public act to the information received?
  • What happens when the House Committee investigating January 6th has public hearings? How are those hearing perceived?
  • What will be the status of Covid in November? What about inflation, supply shortages and the state of the economy?
  • How is Biden perceived as a leader? Will the Democrats pass any meaningful legislation?
  • The great unknowns: Terrorism and foreign affairs.
One thing I've been thinking about: When Trump calls for the biggest demonstrations in the history of the country if he is prosecuted, the US Attorney General will not be standing idly by. Nor will the FBI or the Department of Homeland Security. They should not be caught unawares. The response will not be as tepid as January 6th.
The great problem of any civilization is how to rejuvenate itself without rebarbarization.

Has the entire thinking process of America been undermined by Fox News?
Very few people care about the truth, and even fewer pay attention to the evidence. That is what makes America unique.

When it comes time to release the House findings on the Trump Insurrection, I suspect quite a few Republicans will announce themselves as fascists and openly call for the dissolution of America. I suspect this will also be the position of Fox News and most of the right-wing media. Texas will be the first state to declare itself for Emperor Trump.

If this does not happen, will you kill yourself? I am not encouraging you to do so. I am just looking out for you and wondering if you should prepare for a traumatic reaction in case Texas is not the first state to declare itself for Emperor Trump. Do you think your disappointment could lead to suicidal tendencies?

If this happens, will you post shallow and inane comments on a forum for exmormons, or do you think you would try and prevent the dissolution of America. What examples do you have of Republicans announcing themselves as fascists?

Moksha, would you mind if we had this thread moved to prison or had a disclaimer put on it because of the possibility that it is misinformation?

I can take or leave my prophetic calling. Just because Trump asks his followers to commit mayhem and treason does not mean they have to follow through on it, just like Texas did not have to spend all that money on a recount just because Trump suggested it to them.

by the way, will you grab your gun and answer Trump's call for rebellion if he is indicted?

Do you mind giving us the list of right-wing media entities and personalities that will announce themselves as fascists and openly call for the dissolution of America? What about the Washington Examiner, for example? Please include all the blue checks that we should avoid, podcasters, mainstream or traditional rags like the NYT and the Post, bloggers if there are any of those, media folks with a myspace account, radio journalist or broadcasters and Keith Olbermann.

If you know who is going to announce their fascism, it would be great for you to help America but alerting us in advance.

If this is all too much for you, just post a thoughtful picture of your scrotum and the fungus under your toenails to your instagram and Facebook, or just do something inflammatory like that.

Wanting to overturn democratic elections and seeing the bright side of neo-nazis.

So they said they were fascists?

This would be great to have their names. That would be great. How many names do you think you can provide for this list?
