Reply to comment by Proof-Variation7005 in RI Congressman Cicilline leads effort to bar Trump from running again under 14th Amendment by Rogue-Island-Pirate

>As long as there aren't 14 other weak republican candidates in a primary field, Trump isn't going to win but he sure as shit will make the primary winner look weak and bad to a lot of voters.

I see you were in a coma in 2016

I assure you I was awake for the thing I very specifically referenced.

Trump has zero chance of holding office again. It’d take an extraordinary set of circumstances for him to get past a primary. Even if he did, it’d be a worse outcome than 2020. All of the shit that made him lose plus his behavior in his last two months.

I say let him run just because he’s a giant stink bomb who can only damage his own party.

I really think his cult voter base is strong enough to win him the primary

Yeah, that's an optimistic way too look at it

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want to see him, hear him, or have to remember he exists.

It’s annoying but he’s such a toxic asset that I think the only reason to call him a threat to win is shellshock from before.

not anymore. Go to r/conservative. Theyre abandoning him in droves. The best case scenario is for him to win/run/lose or lose primary, but run as an independant and take Desantis out of the running with a split ticket.

Remember your on Reddit which naturally leans left. Head over to truth social to see what his followers have to say if your actually interested in it. /r/conservative is not trump's base. You'll need to go on gab, truth social, and the chans to see he is still very popular.

Truth has like 15 total users. Even if every single one of them said something its not indicative of anything at all.

edit: Fox cut away from trumps announcement to show something biden was saying. It is not the same thing as 2016.

He has lost Rupert Murdoch. Without the Fox media machine behind him, he has no chance. The dweebs that spend all day watching that channel will go whatever direction they are told by those idiots.

I want to agree with you. Sadly we only have to look at the Weimar Republic and the rise of a particular fascist leader.

[In the 1960's, Ron Jones, a High School Social Studies teacher (after being asked a question as how the Germans could claim ignorance), started an experiment, which got out of hand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Wave_(experiment) )

I don't think fascism is dead or no longer a threat at all. Far from that.

But Trump himself? I think there is a better chance that God, who I do not believe in, appears on earth and annoints him the King of humanity than there is that fucking loser gets elected again.
