Ok, I'll say it: Eminem 2028. Seriously.

[redgreenandblue]

That is where the USA is it.

Eminem is our best shot: He is a celebrity, he is a staunch liberal, he is respected by both blacks and trailer-whites, who consider him "authentic", and he can out-alphamale Trump for sure.

Maybe Snoop Dogg as VP.

1. Cheech and Chong as co-border czars ☮ Yeah, that's the ticket.

[Elessar Zappa]

2. Eminem and Snoop would certainly be better than our upcoming duo.

3. Is this sarcasm?

I really hope it is...

[redgreenandblue]

4. I'm not even sure anymore.

That's the sad part.

[Fish700]

8. I don't think so. It is pretty clear that we are now in the era of Celebrity Presidents.

If you can't beat them, join them.

[FirstLight]

5. thanks you for the smile this morning...

IDK about snoop for VP (although we know he's also very beloved by SO many)

But yeah, maybe we should look OUTSIDE traditional politicians and see what happens...I'm sure people would say "but he has no experience!" to which we'd just point to the Cheeto and say um, yeah, AND...?

I hope we even GET an election in 2026/2028...

6. lol....keep calling them 'trailer-whites'...

And we can have this painful 'retrospection' every four years...

I really, really thought the left would learn something this time... I guess not.

13. I was born in the rural south. Let me tell you something about the people there:

They use the phrase "trailer trash" frequently. They use it to refer to other people in the area that they look down on.

I'm certain that Eminem could use the phrase, and it wouldn't hurt him. The same way Trump can call Mexicans rapists and criminals and still win the Latino vote. When people hear it, they don't think of themselves. They think of "that other person".

It's where we are, unfortunately.

7. I was thinking The Rock. Maybe Mark Cuban.

Performance over policies for our American electorate. I don't even know if someone like Newsom would work, since he seems like the prototypical politician. Either way, we need an attack dog candidate. And one that will call Republicans out to their face using unsanitized, plain terms. And fuck fact checks -- clearly no one cares about those.

Case in point, instead of saying "this man was found liable by a jury of his peers for sexual assault" -- call him a rapist. Call him a fucking rapist. Once again, performance and viral clips apparently mean more than substance and policy, so maybe it's time we take a new route.

9. Except he has a problem with women

[redgreenandblue]

12. Yeah he does for sure.

This apparently doesn't matter these days

[Jspur]

10. I said several years ago after Trump won in '16 that

the Democrats should run Eminem because he would easily win hands down in any debate and doesn't have a filter. He could also dominate the media headlines just as easily as Trump does because he knows how to be controversial. On top of that he would have humiliated Trump in debates in a way Trump had never been humiliated before.

The democrats could have marketed him as a successful businessman from Detroit. As I write this I acknowledge that we now live in an idiocracy.

[redgreenandblue]

14. Idiocracy indeed.

I really feel like Mike Judge saw things much more clearly than most people.

[pattyloutwo]

11. No

I don’t want to be rude but I wish I didn’t see this. Everything hurts right now
