What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

Well, I'm not concerned about people SWITCHING votes to trump. It's more of the general Democrat apathy that is of concern. It's a broad statement but younger people tend to be more liberal and Democrat-leaning in the US but they are also the least likely to vote. I was in the UK at Glastonbury when the UK voted for Brexit. Again, younger people would have voted to stay in general. You could see the shock on people there, Unable to believe it had passed. But I was talking to people there and almost every one had variations on the same answer: "No, I just didn't get around to voting" or "I'm stunned. But I didn't vote because I thought it would never pass".

Basically if you don't vote for the person/cause/policy you want, you are, in effect, voting AGAINST it. So, you are absolutely right in that the trump loss was mainly down to anti-trump, the anger isn't there as much now. He's loud and hate-filled but he's not in power anymore.... So they don't need to vote this time. Job is done. THAT'S the problem. Whereas trump supporters WILL turn up. And this is their right. And the right thing to do. They are entitled to vote (once, guys) just as much as everyone else.

So yeah, Apathy and the pre-emptive rigging that GOP states are bringing in are the BIG concern (And there is ZERO other term for their regulations. It is blatant pre-emptive rigging. So blatant we are talking about it two YEARS before their rigging attempts to impact the 2024 election)

It would become another referendum on trump's first term, it's hard to see what Biden could do that would change voter's minds on trump1 (especially as Afghanistan is now old news). The GOP surely realises that even if trump doesn't.

All sorts of restrictions on viewing on Youtube; must provide a credit card, etc. Never saw this before

It really was. It was like 9/11. I remember watching the news before going to work on afternoon shift in previous job. Plane 1 had hit. Phoned my mam telling her to turn on the news. Was a terrible accident. Went in to the shower, when I came out, plane 2 had hit. On the way into work met a mate and he was listening in on his phone about the Pentagon. I remember saying "Ah, they are freaking out now. A large bird hitting a window will be seen as an attack". Of course then we arrived at work and got the confirmation.

For this I was watching on CNN and switching to BBC. From one news station to another. Was Whatsapping my team of workmates (Some based in the US) "Are you WATCHING this? Holy Crap!" (Followed by "WTF is a thick Kerry bogger doing reporting for CNN?").

There's a reason his klan have stopped trying to justify trump and his terrorists on this forum.... There IS no justification. Many MANY of us watched it unedited, LIVE on TV. Without fox "news" spin. Watched his speech before. Watched his statement during. There is no revisionist reassessing. We watched and wondered "Where the hell are the soldiers? Where is the backup for the police? This is going to go pear-shaped.... Annnnnnnnnnddddd there is goes"

I know it sounds overly-dramatic but that day was the day we all knew that American democracy was f*cked forever. And we knew that those images were going to be the DEFINING image of trumps presidency.... And deservedly so. It SHOULD be the defining image of the Republican Party because while they don't condemn him, they condone him. When they don't condemn him, they say to the world: "He speaks for us. Everything he says is the official opinion of the Republican Party"
