The Official "Damned Trump" Thread: Phase II

[The Grand Nudger]

Dood, you've gone off the deep end.

I think he has a point in that the conspiracy mindset they've championed for more than a decade is coming home to roost in the suspicions that his own AG is now part of the "deep state". In other words, the seed they've planted is now bearing some poisonous fruit.

I don't know that it's "demographically existential", nor indeed do I even know what TGN means in writing that, but I think the distaste and growing distrust is exactly to be expected when one sows radical conspiracism as a means to power. Once you're in power, you're either killing the cabals or becoming one, to these conspiracists.

That's how I'm reading his post you've quoted. He'll no doubt correct me forthwith, and that's all to the good.

nah, you pretty much nailed it.

I mean that even with voter suppression and outright corruption they can't lose the demographic this is important to and remain in power through non-novel means.  Now, I think every damned thing they do tells us they don't intend to remain in power through non-novel means..but even in the nightmare authoritarian scenario they're dreaming about the batshit right can't afford challenges to their authority and organizing ideology from the even further batshit right.  

That's how trumpism became a thing in the first place - ask dead john mccain what happened to his party - and if the donald wont deliver they'll find an even trumpier fucker under the next rock.
