    Biden is clearly swirling down that drain. Should he be replaced, who would replace him? I identified the pretty short list. Do you disagree?

    I see you dodged my questions by not answering them. Let’s try this again, shall we…
    Of all these "sure" candidates, which ones do you believe have the best chance of being another Stalin or Mao?

    And when do you see it happening? Do you believe that if Trump wins '24 election that the Dems will claim it was stolen and therefore try to overturn the election and stay in power?

    Biden is an absolute crap show but he will be the ‘24 candidate for the Dem party. See, this is an example of how an adult answers questions.

    It comes down to them believing lies. They actually believe/d that the election was stolen and that Trump being elected was the true will of legitimate voters. They also actually believe that the charges against Trump are made up or at least would not be applied to somebody who wasn't a political enemy like Trump. Delusion is the answer to your question.

    As I've been saying for years now, 2020 was practice. Just wait until Trump loses again. It won't be pleasant for anyone.

    And yet, Trump is the one who seriously contemplated imposing martial law the last time he lost.

    Hopefully seeing all those A holes getting arrested and serving time will deter anyone from doing something so stupid again.

    As a general rule, people feel about Trump the way they are told to feel about Trump.

    Your political masters really don’t care if you love or hate the dude. Just so it’s one or the other.

    Either that, or they'll gather in greater numbers and come fully armed. I hope you're right and I'm wrong.

    I don’t see the fully armed scenario playing out but who knows…time will tell.

    Which has no bearing on the possibility that Biden might.

    It will be pleasant for the left who want to impose totalitarian rule.

    You said "soon". So next year? Like Jan? Let's nail this down so we can wager. What say you?

    Nice to see you at least admit that Biden is likely to win. (Kidding!)

    If Biden has to declare martial law, it will be due to the rabid MAGA, white nationalist, white supremacist, and evangelical Trump supporters starting armed riots.

    The left wants just the opposite. Hyperbole much? Hate much?

    Yes. Although I favor a general strike.

    Your willingness to ignore the obvious duly noted.

    Are you saying marshal law will be declared because of MAGA violence?

    I don’t see that happening. If it does it won’t be to the level of marshal law being implemented.

    There was a time, when I was younger, when voters would rather pick competence over ideology/party, and character over both, because the worst thing for local or national democracy was a history of corruption in office. Boy has that changed.

    I think that's right. They see the world as they want to see it, not as it is. Made possible by media sources that reinforce an alternative reality. The most recent example being the contention Don is the victim of persecution while in the real world the judicial system twists itself in knots protecting his rights. The evidence suggests his guilt in the Daniels' case is not in question. The only remaining doubt is whether the jury assembled to judge him is tainted by a Trump ringer for whom the facts don't matter.
