The only saving grace here is he talks a lot of shit all the time and then doesn't follow through. His first term was supposed to be wild too. They were going to build a wall across North America and Mexico was going to pay for it. Never happened. He was going to force companies to not ship jobs overseas. Never happened. They were going to stop all Muslims coming into the country. They tried, but failed. He was going to assign a special prosecutor to lock up Hillary Clinton. Never happened. They were going to repeal Obamacare on day one... The list goes on and on. He's full of shit all the time.

If you really want to know what will absolutely happen if he gets reelected, look into Project 2025.

The reason I think this will happen is it doesn't really rely on Trump at all. He'll just do what he's told by these fascists and go along with it. Same thing he did before with the court packing, but this time on an entirely different level.

Removing career employees out of the federal government is how you actually remove the ability of the government to function. These are the people that actually know the rules AND FOLLOW THEM because if not their jobs are on the line. Unlike politicians, they can't just lie to people and get back in power.

The reelection of Trump would not be a constitutional crisis. It would be an endless succession of them.

"wild and extreme" are doing some heavy lifting for racist, fascist, ruinous and deadly, here

Not that CNN has ever had the best political reporting, but this article is hot garbage. Almost entirely focusing on the tone and kayfabe of Trump's rhetoric without really touching upon the ways in which he has openly plotted to warp our system into something quite unrecognizable.

That said, this middle section really stands alone:

Trump’s authoritarianism may make the 2024 election a profound choice

may

The former president’s increasing demagoguery also puts the spotlight on key unknowns of the 2024 election:

– Does the GOP risk nominating a candidate whose untamed behavior will alienate voters in many suburban swing districts who turned against him in the 2020 election, especially given the possibility that he could be a convicted felon by the time voters make their choice?

– And if Trump wins the nomination, will his liabilities and the prospect of four more years of chaos and recriminations mitigate concerns about Biden’s physical and mental competence and concerns about the economy, as revealed in a CNN poll last week that captured a broadly negative view of his presidency?

There are plenty of polls that already address this issue. They show that the answers to both of these look to be a resounding yes. This isn't one of those questions that can never be answered, like the square root of a million or something.

The numbers of people who affirmatively believe that Biden was involved in Hunter's business dealings is dispiriting, though. That, mixed with the constant media drumbeat over Biden's age, is most likely what's keeping things so close at this point.

Trump personally packed the Supreme Court

this is giving this man way more credit than he deserves. he was a puppet for the right with regards to anything that didnt devolve to getting dollars into his pockets. he doesnt give 2 shits about the SC, i doubt he could name its members.

trump is an idiot who accidentally became elected, and then became the republicans rubber stamp on everything they want.

i get wanting to pin evil on this guy, but realistically, its the entrenched conservatives like mcconnell who are the root evil.
