So is this possible

Groucho Marx has a better chance of being declared president than Trump has of being reinstated. Certainly his approval rating would be more positive, though it's not clear that he'd want to be president of a country that would vote for him.

You mean Rufus T Firefly....

I love Groucho, so I wouldn't wish the current state of American politics on him, though I bet he'd have something to say about it if he were still around.

Sadly, the American Civil War seems to remain essentially unresolved.

It will get worse over the next two decades. Based on the recent census, nervous whites will probably double down on both racist nationalism and moves toward authoritarian leaders.

I'm more optimistic than that, but that might just be me.

Which ,if true, will probably lead into Civil War 2....

What concerns me in one we were lucky in that Trump proved to be so incompetent and so unlikeable as to alienate all but the hard core. What I am scared about is slicker,smarter version of Trump.

Yes he was grossly incompetent politically - a smarter person with some political savvy using his same techniques - but with intelligence - could compromise US Democracy.

Doubtful you could have a slick, smart operator who is also as dumb as a post and a proponent of cack-handed, sickeningly repulsive policy like the Tangerine Ballbag. Mutually exclusive prospects.

A slick, smart operator with vicious, insidious, destructive policies hidden in plain sight is another thing altogether.

From what I've seen of Qanon populism, "compromise" is putting it lightly.

Blancoes, please.
 
I think the Traveler is laying low because when he is right, that will make the dunk that much more epic.

The truth of the matter is even if everything about "the steal" was true, it doesn't put Trump back in office. That ship has not only sailed, but has been put into drydock. It just can't happen. There is no way, per the Constitution, to make it happen. The Supreme Court lacks the jurisdiction. I have a better chance of becoming president, than Trump. Oh, it would be a bloodbath, but it's possible.

Right now, there are 7 layers of management between me and the IRS commishioner. If we operate under the assumption that you take the job of your manager when they leave, I'm right there. From there Yellen has to go. Then it's a pair of Speakers, Sec of State and a VP and P and can you say President Leftus. Don't worry if you can't we will have re-education camps to the point people will call me the education President.

That's my path to the Presidency. With the exception of the bloodbath, it's totally legit. Trump path is even more delusional in that he doesn't have one.

The above path is not really a path, but what would have to actually happen to my mid-upperish level civil servant ass to become the leader of the free world.
 
What is the latest special date for his resurrection? I’m having trouble keeping up.
