The big questions is how much of the Q poo poo is seeping into the younger generations and how much of it seems reserved for the already lovely Boomers just getting more insane and radicalized. I suspect it’s almost entirely the latter which does not bode well for the GOP long term because it ultimately doesn’t change any of the political calculus.

Was going to post this in the Covid thread but it's really more relevant to the US. So how does everyone see things going when (hopefully) President Biden starts instituting new Covid restrictions? Half the country straight up refuses to wear masks or practice any form of social distancing. It's already a ridiculous front in the culture war and he's not even in office, literally any movement he makes towards restrictions is going to trigger conservatives into foaming at the mouth and on the off chance he significantly ups enforcement the endless anti-federal government victim hood is going to be insufferable, not mention the guys running around who are about a step away from openly acting like they're in the middle of Red Dawn.

After Trump, I think President Biden would have an equally difficult task. People might be more willing to listen to Biden, but you also have Trump-supporters who will refuse since Trump is against masks.

The core of what I posted is true: a person can be Indigenous through a variety of avenues without belonging to a First Nation. I took a course on wrongful convictions in 3L and one of the people in my class did a paper on the concept of an alternate court system for First Nations people. She must not have discussed this with anyone or given it any serious thought before writing it - the prof eviscerated the idea inside of like one question in class after she'd written it, something about the logistics: how are you going to get a judge specific to the person on trial's First Nation, given the number of First Nation communities in the country. It was just unpleasant to behold.

You have here a band of flag humpers that are all Joe Good American and yet they seem to think blacking out the American flag and putting a blue stripe on it to hump cops is OK too? The US flag is 13 red and white stripes, and a blue field with 50 stars in the top left. Period, end of story. Any of this other bullshit is some other country's flag, not the US. The official Flag Code is pretty drat clear about this. I love how they're deep, patriotic America lovers until it suits them to diverge from that. Hypocrites.

Once he's no longer president they'll become less vocal and tune out of Q. Conservatives hate a loser. Maybe they'll move on to other bullshit. But a lot of Q is tribalism/cult of personality based, and with that central totem gone, a lot of the passion will go.

Medullah posted:Yeah, if they lose it's time to start the mid-term push. Centered around who?

If Trump loses, does he immediately go into "fundraising for 2024" with even more rallies or does he wait until February? (Gotta raise money for his legal defense fund somehow.)

I’m predicting trump branded mega churches in Florida, personally.

I think it'll be similar to how Resistance Twitter was post-2016. They spent the two months between the election and inauguration thinking of Rube Goldberg like plans that would result in Trump not being inaugurated due to faithless electors and the marshal of the supreme court, etc. Then inauguration will happen and they'll start with the grifting rallies immediately after but I don't think turnout will be anything remotely close to what the woman's march was due to COVID and like 60% of the country either not giving a gently caress or not buying into it.

Isn’t it more accurate to say Trump just hasn’t cut anything because he hasn’t DONE anything, isn’t interested in governing, and hasn’t had the house for two years. You can’t really look at nothing happening and go, well, there it is, it’s his platform. I mean, in general nothing happening legislatively is the platform, but don’t give him credit for it.

All this bullshit about Covid scaring Dems more than Republicans is utter bullshit. Most of the Dems are poorer and minority workers who are already exposed to it at their jobs and will probably find voting safer than what they do every day. Those in the suburbs have tons of options from absentee or mail in voting and lots of polling places same as every other election year. And every Dem I’ve talked to has used variations of the phrase ‘crawl across broken Covid-covered glass’ to describe how eager they are to vote against Trump, even the super careful still sheltering in place and disinfecting their groceries ones. Covid is not going to depress Dem turnout. Voter suppression will depress Dem turnout, and even that is going to have to be super extra this year to be as effective as times past because those 8 hour lines are everywhere.

Yeah, it sounds like the experimental antibodies they shot him up with may have done the trick. The only silver lining is, because he never started producing his own antibodies, he'll have no natural immunity in a month or two and could easily get it again.
