An attendee at the Alabama Trump rally said she wanted Trump to reveal that he was still president,

An attendee at the "Save America" rally in Cullman, Alabama, on Saturday, told a news reporter she was hoping that Donald Trump would reveal that he is still president of the United States.

Moments before the former president was due to speak at the event, the woman told the Right Side Broadcasting Network in an interview that she believed Trump "never left" the White House in the first place.

"He's already here. He never left. He's the 19th president of the Republic," the woman, who was not identified, said.

When asked what she hoped Trump would speak about during his speech, she responded: "I want him to address when he's gonna come forth and say: 'I am,' so that everybody will wake up and we can get this country back. The constitutional republic of 1776."

It's like a significant portion of the country has suffered some type of collective insanity.

I have posted on it since I joined DU. Millions of the RW are so likely going to become involved in at least a scattered site kinetic civil war within 15 to 20 years max. It is extraordinarily likely that it will prove to be impossible to put the genie back into the bottle. Multiple parts of the US Constitution are a potential suicide pact, especially some that are cherished, like the 1st Amendment, which is far too absolutist when it comes to protecting openly seditious speech that IS intended as a call to arms.

A suicidal mistake that will be written in the post mortem will be the utter normalcy bias of so many who mistakenly thought that the inertia of previous American post civil war conflict containment would hold this time. They still think that these multi-decade reflexive control-driven ruptures are just a stage that will be overcome by some mythical 'adults in the room' being able to spank the rebellious QMAGAt 'children' back into a pattern of 'correct, logical behaviour' (and lock away the worst of the worst) and thus restore a bi-partisan dialectical consensus, that whilst still massively adversarial, continues to operate within a shared construct of agreed upon constraints. That shite is not happening.

Doesn’t that mean he approved the 1.5 trillion dollar covid bill and the 3.5 trillion dollar budget? Doesn’t that mean he ordered troops out of Afghanistan and just ordered all federal employees get the vaccine?

In short - doesn’t that mean TFG has suddenly become the most liberal President since FDR?

While there are sill dinosaur neo-cons who’ve been in office forever, by and large the Republican Party has become pretty isolationist and anti-war.

...by looking into the undoubtedly specious logic/math by which they determine that TFG was president number 19.

that made the US a corporation. They think the last legit POTUS was the 18th, U.S. Grant. They got it from the sovereign citizen movement, etc.

to one of his future rallies in which the angry mob decides the only way to have their cake is to eat it too...

a la the ancient ritual of the Killing of the King, in some Wicker Man-like ceremony.

Now that ought to be fun!

I don’t know how you build momentum for 2024 by feeding into this craziness which will only lead to more disappointment.

Why else would he be telling people to get vaccinated?
