Nah, Trump stepped on to many establishment toes for that. He's gonna be held up as the liberal world order bougie man for the rest of eternity.

Last night I got stoned and dreamed up a Warhammer 40kesk universe were the DNC has Trump in cryostasis and threatens to awake him if they ever lose and election, and all the fear mongering over him results in a one party state were the DNC gets 98% of the vote to prevent the rise of the sleeping Trump.

Just so you know this is exactly what every liberal said about bush in 2008, it was also widely agreed that a republican would never win a presidential election again.

You're overestimating liberals. By a lot.

Bush didn't have twitter. Also the neocons generally liked him. Plus he didn't spawn a weird cult of people who dress up like Vikings and storm government buildings.

Donald posted too hard and attracted too many weirdos.

Donald posted too hard and attracted too many weirdos.

Roughly half of voting Burgerlanders remain attracted to his brand. The needle didn't even move during recent "coming to eat your pets" nazi clownfoolery. They're ride-or-die.

They're not going anywhere until their spite runs out and they finally die.

Okay, not really relevant to my point that Libs probably aren't going to rehabilitate him.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

I think it is relevant because libs continually reach rightward and will want those die-hards for themselves. It may even become an easy and relatively harmless performative gesture if trump-anguish finally croaks and they do all kinds of civility circuses to rehabilitate his image.

[-] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

I think Libs are holding out for the more competent fash. Trump is too cringe and weird, at least the SS had suits made by Hugo Boss.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

The MAGAts will likely wriggle around for some time after trump-anguish is dead and the libs will probably at least try to win them over because posthumous asskissing is easy.

[-] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

I think a lot of Chuds are gonna normie-fy after the wet boy is gone, try and pretend they never liked him or weren't THAT into him. Sorry aunt Suzie we got the pics of your front porch covered in Trump paraphernalia! THAT's when the Libs could maybe wrangle them into some "Centrist (Right)" coalition.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

I can see a case for that too, like how so many post-WW2 Germans were totally not nazis and totally had no idea what was going on. sus-soviet

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

No he just spawned a weird cult that tried to call French fries freedom fries and a Toby Keith song with the lyrics "we'll put a boot in your ass it's the American way" was on top of the billboards.

[-] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 31 points 1 month ago

They're gonna pretend his biggest controversy was "covfefe" like they pretend Obama's was the tan suit.

[-] Crucible@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

They'll be even softer on him and act like all he did was give people McDonalds like all Reagan did was give people jelly beans

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 month ago

There's no way he'll live that long.

[-] AfricanExpansionist@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 month ago

Then I can't wait for his big state funeral

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 month ago

There will be hamburgers and big strong generals and all the diet coke you can drink!

[-] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

the-democrat trump-anguish I'm hearing Neuralink Grok might even have a shark's brain! Mr Mush, pull the plug! the-republican

[-] Dolores@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

he doesn't have the demeanor for a 'respectable' post-politics career, even if he survives l9nger than 4 years (extreme doubt

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

It's going to happen even faster than bush because Trump will continually to talk shit on Twitter about how the next republican nominee is shitty.

We're like 2 years out from "I can't believe I'm agreeing with Trump, never thought I'd say I wish he'd come back" from liberals.

If he loses the republican string pullers are gonna get sick of tying their horse to somebody who cost them 2 consecutive elections and start talking shit about him, republicans will all agree they never liked him just like bush, and that'll make the libs rehabilitate him even faster.

Exactly like how Cheyney and Romeny are now liberal darlings just because they're mad they got left behind by the party.

It it weren't for his hubris I'd say he would endorse Kamala in 2028.

[-] porcupine@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 1 month ago

get ready to hear from Democrats about how Trump was anti-war, stopped evictions, and gave everyone stimulus checks, unlike "today's extreme Republicans".

[-] Beetle_O_Rourke@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Fish Delites will probably prevent him from living that long.

[-] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

But why does he keep painting these shitty buildings? 🤔
