      After running the most embarrassingly stupid and dishonest and disgusting and alarming campaigns in the history of this once great nation, with a economic plan based on using tariffs to somehow make inflation go away. It’s like America randomly decided to commit suicide.

      Free to campaign. Free to fundraise. Free to conspire within the party and continue to build support.

      And then the opposition ran a prosecutor mostly known for her reluctance to indict white collar criminals.

      No shit he won.

        I know you’re joking, but I believe his followers just don’t think any of it is real. They actually believe that it is all politically motivated.

        More projection of course.

          I think they believe whatever is most convenient. Sometimes that involves stuff about as insane as my joke :/
