Wait what the hell Trump’s back on the Colorado ballot rn too after appealing? What the fuck is even going on anymore? Is this our Gorbachev arc?
Trump already made the Pizza Hut commercial. It's over.
no that's how it works. The appeal means the Colorado Supreme Court's 4-3 decision to remove Trump gets put on pause. It goes to the Federal Supreme Court now, who can choose to hear it or dismiss it. If they dismiss it, it means Trump's off the ballot in Colorado for good, then probably a bunch of other states would remove Trump or Biden willynilly depending on who the governor is
Technically they can't do the same thing with Biden. He's a war criminal, but Trump actually committed something that is considered a crime in many states and they will and can ban him for that.
What crime are the Republicans going to ban Biden for, giving money to Ukraine? Even if they do that, the ban is going to get repealed quickly. I think most Trump voters will go to RFK jr. which would be the funniest shit to happen in an election in a long time.
lol like facts matter in the exercise of power
He was convicted on one charge recently
They would get Biden on some kind of procedural issue like signing documents wrong. If they really wanted to be fun they'd argue Biden allows election interference from Israel, but that would probably alienate all the Republicans who take AIPAC money.
Point is that it wouldn't matter. They can say anything they want and manufacture whatever consent they please.
The only thing stopping Republicans from doing anything is the whims of capital. If capital would prefer Biden is removed from the ballot in some states, then it would happen .
This would be so fucking funny
Obama, Brezhnev - Popular leader who under-delivered and kept the country stagnant and slowly rotting from the inside.
Trump, Andropov - Reformer with some controversial views, known for promoting [Gorbachev] into government; disliked by the ruling elite and didn't stay in office long.
Biden, Chernenko - Old and ill from day 1, but the favorite of the ruling elite. Had grand plans to return the country to previous success, but failed spectacularly at actually doing stuff and at the end of their rule, the population was slowly turning hostile toward the government
This is bullshit analysis and a stretch.
No it’s completely factually grounded (source: it’s funny)
Wait then which Trump Acolyte is most likely to not give a shit about The American Project to the point where they’re openly fine with it imploding
No idea, I'm not American so I only know the funniest and worst of the bozos.
Also, Gorbachev was kind of a fool instead of actively malicious - he had idealistic illusions of a social democratic USSR. However, he surrounded himself with liberals that knew what they were doing, grifters and those that were in it hoping to become the new Bourgeoise.
You just need someone foolish enough to do just that, and maybe even Trump 2 is gonna be enough for that - assuming he is allowed to get into power and win.
