But that's also not a reason to let a problematic ruling stand. Of course not, I agree with the other points but do not believe it will have any effect on conspiracy theories regarding voting. Regardless, this was always coming and I guess Democrats really need to pull their finger out in getting people to vote and why they shouldn't vote for Trump.

I'm with you on points b) and c) from your previous post - I just think that the "elections = rigged" conspiracy will persist regardless, and would've done no matter what the Supreme Court decided re Colorado. It's simply too entrenched in the MAGA mindset at this point.

Well yeah, I never said that this ruling will change anyone's mind. Just that if it had gone the other way it would have entrenched people more.

At the moment I can't see anything other than a Trump win. If in doubt, look at the bookies.
Still, there's another six months to go and the margins are fairly close.

Fair point, 😎 . I don't necessarily agree that the conspiracists would've become more entrenched, as I'm not sure that's even possible, but it seems as though we're broadly in agreement anyway.
I want Trump to lose with every fibre of my being - to the point where I'd have been happy to see the Colorado ruling stand, no matter how problematic it may have been - but the Supreme Court was never going to allow it, and perhaps that's just as well.
The Dems need to stop pinning their hopes on Hail Mary passes, and start making sound arguments for Biden instead.

American (public) schools are gonna become the most dangerous places on the planet: www.salon.com/2024/03/04/truly-dystopian-experts-worry-school-vaccine-plan-will-spark-public-health-catastrophe/(The URL omits it being Trump's plan, for whatever reason) "Make sure to send your kids to our nice Christian private schools so we can indoctrinate them properly, plebs" And that's not even mentioning what Project 2025 has in store for schools (and elsewhere)... As ridiculous as a statement this may seem... Russia might be about to win the Cold War, and Republicunts were the key (I'd say Trump, but this won't stop at Trump)

While being filmed playing golf he hits a ball into a tree, it ricochets and hits him on the temple and kills him instantly.
It would be a perfect self inflicted death but I'm not sure someone so fucking brain addled could die from a head injury so he'd still be the GOP's candidate even if he was certifiably brain dead, there's no real difference.

If... well, when Trump has a strong showing on Super Tuesday, will Haley formally drop out of the race?

On one hand, she just won the DC primary (and Donnie took it as gracefully as he takes all his losses) and is constantly trashing him... On the other hand, she has also said she'll pardon him if she gets in (among other bootlicky things), so who knows

I’m already resigned to Trump winning in November.
Last time Biden rode a “stop Trump” wave but this time there appears to be zero enthusiasm and even places you’d expect to give him an easier ride are making age and mental decline jokes about him.

The Democrats have really shot themselves in the foot. They should have had a younger sensible-ish runner, suited and booted for this campaign. It's just so hard to fathom just how fucked democracy is these days. There is just no moderacy anymore, everything is so polarised, social media has a lot to answer for and the fact most media companies are run by rightwingers.

A Trump win would be as bad as his first victory and we all know, with the way things have gone, we're gonna get worse. Trump runs with Marjorie Taylor Green as VP. Wins, and then dies in a bizarre golf/explosive diarrhea incident. So we're left with MTG like an aggressive rabbit, trapped in the headlights as world events spiral everywhere downwards.

Oh yeah, I didn't mean it actually means anything, it's just one more notch on the "against Donnie" belt, that she'll proceed to rip off like it's choking her when she inevitably endorses him hoping it'll get her something... Not that it will, she dared to go against him (a woman, no less!) so she's less than trash in his and the cult's eyes now

A Trump win is a direct path to a Russian win in the Ukraine, which then leads to a follow-up Russian attack on NATO. Still, it means our children will die as conscripted front-line troops, rather than in the fighting caused by mass migration as equatorial regions become uninhabitable due to climate change. 20 years left either way

I assume Haley and her backers are just hanging on in there incase he (a) dies, (b) get jailed, or (c) does something so totally nuts that he rules himself out somehow.

He technically did (c), they just didn't have the balls to drop him like his diapers. He should also have achieved (b), by extension, and as for (a), a creaking door hangs longest...

Yeah, (c) is a long shot, because at this point it's have to be something pretty amazing.

I don’t think c) exists, he’s already a horrific person and they’d be totally shot of him if they could right now. The Republicans have created a monster, and they can’t drop him or he’ll run as a third party candidate and split the vote for as long as he’s alive.

Remember when he said "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters" way back in 2016? Unfortunately we turned out to be in the timeline where this is true...

The best bit will be when he dies and numerous people in the party step up in an attempt to interpret and "carry out his will" MGS The Boss style so we'll have a ton of Trump imitators out there. That'll be fun because the party has changed completely to the point where crazy is the default so those imitators will all be trying to one up each other. America and the world is in for a wild fucking ride.

I'd like to preemptively opt out of the ride tbh. Four years of him in "charge" were enough for multiple lifetimes... Too bad I can't exactly fuck off to space or something
