15. I'm not scared of Trump per se

Sun Jan 9, 2022, 04:12 PM

Jan 2022

I'm just scared of what might happen if he manages to get elected again and that enough Americans might be willing to put him back in office again- or that Republicans will beg, steal, or borrow just enough to ensure that he ekes out another EC win. There are some signs that some in the GOP are getting tired of Trump and want him to go away, just not sure that there are enough of them to prevent him from being renominated in 2024. I'm just hoping that there is, if nothing else, so much damning information about Trump, particularly in regards to 1/6, that nobody but a handful of Republicans want him to run again. Of course, if he doesn't run, there are more "polished" Trump-aligned Republican authoritarians like Ron DeSantis waiting in the wings to run, however, hopefully, things are good enough in 2024 that Biden is practically a lock for re-election.
