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

I think complacency is a huge issue. This election reminds me of the 1990 Irish presidential election. Mary Robinson was selected by the Labour party 6-9 months prior and campaigned away. She got so far ahead of the FG candidate Austin Curry that he failed to close the gab and one slip by Lenihan handed it to her.

Trump is campaigning away building up a lead. The Democrats are starting to fight amount themselves over Gaza. If they do not get there sh!t together this is lost. Biden looks old and the American people may worry voting for him.

I feel that this is key to everything.

Voter apathy (and a hatred for Clinton) gave 2016 to Trump at the end of the day. A high turnout and a desire to get Trump out of office kicked him out in 2020. The same can happen again 2024, but the vote really needs to get out to ensure that Trump loses.

The votes this week gives me some hope that there enough level-headed Americans out there who haven't the patience for Trump or his MAGA nitwits. Despite any disappointment there might be with Biden, at least Trump is doing an excellent job of reminding moderate voters of how insufferable he would be if in office again.

The very last thing we need is the most heavily armed nation in the world desending into a dysfunctional evangelical kleptocracy with an childish narcisist as their "King". America hitting a "Rock Bottom" caused by Trump would be a very serious threat to Western Democracy. Sure, American hubris does need to be taken down a few notches, but not this way.

Yep. As you and so many other have said here, voter apathy is what's going to get him in if he gets in. GOP voters WILL vote. As is their right. As they SHOULD. GQP voters WILL vote (Sometimes more than once as their own investigation proved). And it is their right to vote (once) and they SHOULD vote. But, historically, there is an apathy among people who would vote Democrat. And, IMHO, if you believe in a cause (Right or left, up or down, in or out) and you have the right to vote on this and don't, then you are in effect voting against your opinion. I mentioned before that I was at Glastonbury when the Brexit results came in. People had the ability to vote from there even. As you can imagine, such a crowd would have mainly voted remain. To say everyone was stunned is an understatement. It was the only time I found the buzz to be bad there. I remember asking people there in conversation "God, that's a surprise result. Did ya vote yerself?" "No, I didn't think it would ever happen" or "No, it was a pain in the ass getting to the voting booth" or simply "Naaaaaaah" So if you can vote but don't vote then you have no right to complain... or boast

So yeah, as obvious as it sounds, if the Dems don't come out and vote, he WILL get in and they'll have nobody to blame but themselves. Not trump, not the GQP but themselves.
