It looks pretty likely, overall. Every red state has been slashing voting rights as hard as they can and the only potential candidate that isn't Trump, is basically Trump but younger*

I hope you're right, but the way that the GOP have reacted in trying to annihilate democrat votes since the result is a cause for concern. He wasn't that far off of a second term and a combination of voter apathy and GOP tactics could see him back in his toddlers hi chair in 3 years

I'm hoping for a conviction and shitting himself to death in prison while a large crowd of migrants crowd outside the door chanting KILLED THE WALL happens myself, but death or dementia will do, I guess.

However he goes, I hope it's agonising

Nick Clegg is right where he belongs, tbh.

I was going to write something pithy in the 'wake up sheeple' vein, but this really isn't funny at all. Amplifying this sort of misinformation, and on a platform/channel with such considerable reach, is genuinely how people end up getting radicalized.

Yeah, Purge:US Civil War is being slated for a Q3 2022 release. Could be epic.

Carlson of course wants to be President. This stuff worked for a grade A idiot gameshow host who couldn't make a profit even when given a half billion property playset.

20 years ago that would have been quite the parody.

Tbf it has a lot of Partridge/Chris Morris about it. Also
"On second thoughts let's not go to Camelot, it is a silly place "

That is quite something

Fuck.

He toed the line with Trump's base while keeping Trump himself at arms length. Add to that Biden's abysmal approval ratings and bingo.

Honestly, the Biden administration seems to be doing everything in its power to hand 22/24 to the GOP on a silver platter.
