Michelle: When they go low we go high.
Kamala: Let the meme trolling begin!
If we do end up descending into a Draconian hellhole of an autocratic dictatorship at least the election run-up is going to be exponentially more entertaining than it was going to be with Joe.
I say that dictatorship part because don't think for a second that the GOP is gonna just roll over and die. Expect hard-line challenges to vote counts in every single swing state.
I've been saying this since Sunday. We just blew up the Death Star, but the Empire is still a threat. The fight ain't over, yet.
How did we blow up the Death Star? No victories have been achieved yet.
This is more like Han hanging over the reigns of the Millenium Falcon to Lando in RotJ. The battle hasn’t even begun.
I disagree. Biden pulled a master political move that isn’t the Death Star blowing up, but it’s still a deft maneuver for the republic.
Consider that Trump was shot at and just two weeks later we aren’t talking about it. The RNC happened and it’s not in the news. The only thing in the news is Trump dropped out to run away from Kamala. It’s an insanely smart political move. The republicans are so upset they’re filing impeachment papers, yelling about democracy, and threatening with the law. They’re so scared that they’re scrambling to do anything.
And Trump being shot at didn’t get him anything in the polls. That’s how crazy this all is
Yeah for real. While I am happy to see such excitement around Harris, this is far from over. Too many people celebrating prematurely. Remember 2016???
No one was excited about Clinton.
That's just not true. Maybe you weren't, but this country is full of neo-libs.
Also, maybe you forget, but Kamala ran in the 2020 primary. A LOT fewer people were excited about her than they were about Clinton. By orders of magnitude. You can literally measure it if you wanted.
The current "excitement" is not due to the person, it's due to the situation. The same fucking thing would be happening if Biden had chosen fucking Gabrielle Giffords (or literally anyone else under the age of 70 without an 'R' next to their name) way back then.
He could have chosen three Colombia University pro-Palestine protestors stacked up under a trenchcoat, and people would be "excited" right now about them taking Biden's place.
The Death Star by that point had been blown up quite conclusively.
This is not the battle. This is some senate noise 1-2 years PBY nobody is going to remember after.
Well, I can’t wait to see who’s chosen to play Nien Nunb.
So Joe Biden will become more powerful than we can possibly imagine?
"You will go to the Dagobah system. There you will be instructed by Obama, the great President who instructed me."
And then it'll turn out that the new Republic and Jedi Order that were set up after the fall of the Empire were so ineffectual that they might as well not have bothered. Thanks, Disney.
There's a "simple" solution to prevent their civil war plans. You got to crush them at the voting stations so hard that every question about foul play gets destroyed in its roots.
Donald Trump could very well roll over and die and I would be ok with that. The only downside is not getting to know that he is in prison being miserable
The Heritage Foundation and its plan to cement autocratic fascist rule in the US will survive Trump.
Which is why they got trump to pick Vance for VP, who is young and all in on project 2025, to be their chosen figurehead for the future. They don't care about or like trump; they're just using him as their vehicle to get in power and that's it. After that they're fine with/hoping for him to drop dead ASAP after the inauguration so they can usher in their full agenda. Meantime trump is only the symbolic figurehead and if by chance he doesn't go along with their plans (unlikely), they can always use the 25th Amendment to get rid of him.
I can’t imagine a Vance presidency
Somehow he'd still have a voice in prison. Kinda like all those interviews with Ted Bundy and Charles Manson et al.
His biggest misery would be to be alive and completely silenced.
So a stroke.
Well, he’s old as fuck and eats McDonald’s for most meals. I’m also not sure if anyone would notice, so there’s a good chance it would be a bad one.
Donald Trump is 78 years old, that is not unheard of that people might die at that age of entirely natural causes.
The list of things “the Democrats want to take away” is going to be massive.
All of these things are at risk.
They should really take your guns though...
So far their biggest whinge is plastic straws. Not the hill most voters are willing to die on
Exactly like they did last time? Remember Rudy Giuliani doing all these shenanigans last time? Cyber ninjas?
Only difference is that I find it doubtful Joe Biden will try to disrupt proceedings on January 6, 2025. I think it would be awkward for him to ask his VP to not certify the results if Kamala Harris wins.
