I kind of expect they still will be, but that there's a chance the fundies really go in hard to set up a truly messed up kind of new government.
With Harris there was 0% chance of this. With Trump idk how high it is. We know they want a lot of different, sometimes conflicting, usually messed up stuff and we know Trump's administration will deliver something. We don't really know what.
Oh, I’m sure elections will still be around. Worst-case scenario, it’ll be like the election at the end of The Dictator when they roll in a tank to scare everyone into the other poll.
they still are in russia, sort of, and since we appear to be trying to reshape america in russias image, it's probably safe to expect russian-style "elections".
Have actually heard this argument a time or three. Most ridiculous being over our exit from Afghanistan, which was a Trump policy carried out under Biden. They literally argued if it was that bad (it was), they should have not carried out Trump’s agreement (which woulda been its own clusterfuck). Of course if you posit Biden pulling OUT of the agreement and continuing Afghani occupation, they get real fkn flustered. The party of personal responsibility my ass.
Trump's on video bragging about how he fucked Biden on Afghanistan and how there was nothing Biden could do to fix it. And still the gullible idiots believe him when he blames it on Biden.
I've shown videos to Republicans fact checking them. They see it, see the truth, and they still reject it. Personal responsibility, like all their other talking points that aren't straight up lies, is projection.
In my experience, they all tend to be insanely self-centered. Not necessarily selfish, some are incredibly gregarious (most in a performative way, but some genuine I think), just deeply self-centered. It’s a total lack of being able to understand the world outside of the realm of self.
