Politics All Things Trump

Well if I can sum it up that way, the US sadly has been turning into a Latin America republic - some right wing POTUS gets elected, he right wings too much, then you guys get a leftist who try to turn it to Socialist hellhole.

Hint: see Bolsonaro followed by Lula in Brazil…

The Conservatives/Republicans are too passive and nonchalant in their approach.

Though they manage to stir the pot a bit during Committee hearings, they still are too over-confident with a sort of "right is might, and thus might is right" approach.

As you said, despite the energy displayed, there was no "red wave", but a tremor in the pond at best. And then there was the whole "Kary Lake" kerfuffle that might have discouraged quite a few.
Finally, there still is the issue of "weaknesses" within the party itself such as the Rinos, neocons and undecided fence-sitters; to the point that some of the Senators on the left (Manchkin, and Sinema to some extent) sometimes appear more reliable than some of the Reps who have been there since forever (Lindsey Graham for instance).


If Trump is arrested it will boost Trump's popularity among his base. It will probably not create new supporters though. But that popularity will be astroturfed by the Reps as used for the party's platform.
Trump has a HUGE bully-pulpit. That move will only bolster it to the point of him even winning the nomination anyway. It won't even be anywhere near close to 2016; but you can bet Reps delegates will hurry to flock around him, singing his praises and holding him as some sort of martyred idol, insert Marlon Brando's "look at what they did to my poor son" performance.


I "kind of" want, or would like, to see the whole Bragg's move being carried out though. From a legal point of view that would pretty interesting and quite the spectacle, not that the actual legal case holds any weight but in term of trials going on things are pretty quiet at the moment.

The whole call for protests is also interesting and reminiscent of Jan6. I didn't check, but I would assume it created some waves in the liberal world with Trump's message being understood as another call for insurrection.
I think a lot of conservatives simply want to be left alone... this leads to some passivity for sure, The conservative believe that the 'system' will function as it is supposed to, and protect them from any abuses of power... They fail to realize that the left is going to fundamentally change the system once they get enough power. It will be too late then...
The left isnt content to leave people to their beliefs, the left will attempt to coerce change. They have no intention of leaving anyone alone. The left is about coercion and submission.
I followed the Lakes/Hobbs election, and it was beyond my understanding why ANYONE would vote for Hobbs. Her behavior is just like every other leftist elitist politician that has no intention of representing anyone but themselves and the ideology they support. Of course, no lefty voter would ever know about that, because it would never be reported in the media that they consume.
Trump also has a HUGE knee-jerk negative reaction from a LOT of people, to the point that they wont even consider someone that would be endorsed by him. I think he is toxic... Mind you, I dont consider this the objective reality at all... In a reasoned conversation with these people, you could probably refute and disprove just about everything they think is fact about Trump, and in an objective comparison between Trump and Biden, Trump would come out ahead, at least in terms of being less of a dishonest corrupt lying scumbag.

OT, but was Bolsonaro actually bad for Brazil? bad economy on his watch? standard of living dropped? drag queens unable to have toddlers attend their shows? or is it just because he is so-called "right wing"?
 
Back then, social media was just a small thing, and schools and colleges were not almost all staffed by Democrats or far-left people. And since then, the teens that they schooled got the age and right to vote. It will be close in 2024 but we will see a Democrat president probably Michelle Obama or Gavin from California.
this boggles my mind... Newsome is OBJECTIVELY bad. the economic powerhouse that is California has got nothing to do with him or his policies....

Probably OT, but I was more making a central point and comparison to what the US is becoming, and it’s not looking too good under JoeBi tenure.

Bolsonaro was right wing. I didn’t even mention what I thought of him, but Brazil needed a strong man and got him, up to the actual Brazilians to have a proper, valued opinion.

The left does not even need to go that far.
As we have seen this past few years, since 2016 and up until recently with the twitter-files, the system does not even need to be changed either. Just put the right people at critical locations, make sure there is complacency and slowly work your way to your goals.

The abuses of power from federal agencies with regards to politically motivated investigations and double-standards are clear examples.
But since it has been "allowed" to happen, tacitly condoned and encouraged, by the left (be it political, supporters or the media) it is nothing but a formality at this point.

The right is set on playing by the rules, using reason and common sense. McCarthy replacing McConnel is a good thing, but Kevin still is too soft in his approach. And that will be their undoing. They are way too "principled", whereas the left is unabashedly embracing deviant behaviors; weaponizing federal agencies, activists, extremists and crisis.
Do we really want the right to go down the same road? Me think not.

But in the end it is all about deeply rooted partisan behavior. On the one hand you have the base that does not know any better and has got its brain rotted by nonstop lies from the media, and on the other you have politicians who built their career on these lies. They know these are lies, but they are not the target audience and they don't really care about the consequences since it only benefits them.
 
Small update, the Manhattan DA cancelled his planned arrest of President Trump when his final grand jury witness told the jurors that Bragg was hiding hundreds of pages of exculpatory evidence from them.


Prosecutorial misconduct usually gets the disbarment hammer.

Which would be pretty funny, all things considered. Cohen gets disbarred for lying to Congress, Avenatti gets disbarred for (mostly) fraud. Now Braggs for malpractice? :D
 
I wouldn't care one bit, like Melania said he will shake things up and now the republican candidates talk like him and eventually the democrats re-enact his policies that old Biden put a ruler through as soon as he could then failed.
He re-balanced the system.
 
any minute now...
still trying to understand how someone thinks that Hillary Clinton was completely correct about Trump vis-a-vis the steele dossier and its info and that its conclusions were completely correct...

Some people simply have a room temperature IQ.

Makes you wonder if the exact date of the arrest wasn't a rumor started by Trump for this case to get coverage from the media and attention from the public.

The result would have been the same nevertheless, considering how mediocre the case is, but it got attention and helped exposing politically motivated malpractices.
