HAHAHA TRUMP WILL BECOME THE NEXT MANDELA

[brettdale]

According to the maga people if he is arrested. They're in for a shock. Only people in the streets will be people partying.

1. Your subject line with the comparison to Mandela gave me a real visceral reaction...

Then I realized you were channeling the MAGATs. Heavens, that is just so disgusting but it does show the depth if their delusions.

[Bucky]

2. It's ridiculous, yes. But that said...

I can totally see Melania becoming a Winnie Mandela, running street gangs and burning tires around her enemies' necks.

[Kaleva]

3. And having affairs

[Bucky]

4. Okay, but we can agree that burning tires around someone's neck is worse, right?

[Kaleva]

9. Yes.

[ColinC]

5. Reverse Mandela

[Walleye]

6. Disgraced, deposed, former dictator living in exile. I like the sound of that

[rpannier]

7. Wish that In Living Color were still on

They might have done the Mandela comparison, with only white people protesting

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. Mollusk thinks the rump is guaranteed re-election

Elon Musk @elonmusk
If this happens, Trump will be re-elected in a landslide victory

The rump will be indicted by one of at least three sources: NY, Georgia, DoJ. Hence the loon is sure he'll be re-elected.

That tweet is an example of how facile and simplistic Musk is when he looks at politics. He's a sucker there. He's not a deep analyst.

Facile simplistic people with buckets of money are as dangerous as the orange facile simplistic grifter at Merd-a-Loco.

10. Oh, brother.

[DFW]

11. more like the next Warren Harding

Remembered, ever more vaguely as time passes, as a one-term (Harding had a better reason for that) president whose administration is remembered for its corruption.

12. He's not and no they won't be in the streets.

Not in significant numbers anyway but, since they're a spot on match to Dietrich Bonhoeffer's label of stupid, they need to be watched carefully. Thus the preparation by state and federal officials. Bonhoeffer knew the type really well and they haven't changed since the rise of the nazi party.

Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed – in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical – and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential

13. MAGA folk know who Mandela was?

Amazing.

[MissMillie]

14. sure... I can see that

Because straight, white, "Christian," male criminals everywhere need a martyr to symbolize all the injustice they've been through.

[Torchlight]

15. I think he'll spend 18 months writing about 'my struggle'

and hen self-publish it afterwards.
