If Trump becomes the official nominee and is allowed to run, one of two things will happen:

-Trump wins, but electors refuse to certify the election for him. Protesters take to the streets and he orders troops to imprison people

-Trump loses, cries that the election is rigged again, and a worse version of Jan. 6 takes place

both scenarios will be bad for this country. The only way theres not chaos is if Trump is either in prison, flees the country to avoid charges, or is not allowed to run and is removed from ballots due to his previous insurrection.

Hes gonna do whatever he can to cause the most chaos.

Yayyyyyy 2024!

And even if we manage to avoid Trump we're left with Biden.

And the rest of his cabinet who will run the country just fine (as they currently have been the last 3 years)

I'm confused. Why would you not want a geriatric president?

Depends. Hasn't he recently put off some followers to lessen their effectiveness?

I feel like that's quite a leap to think it's likely that electors will refuse to certify his win of he did win legitimately, somehow.

Current house democrats and republicans have pitched the idea. The oral arguments in front of the Supreme Court this past week even talked about it.

the argument is basically that hes not eligible to be president, per the 14fh amendment. If the Supreme Court refuses to hold Trump accountable for Jan 6, anything is on the table to hold him accountable, including disqualifying him from the presidency

I mean you'll recall on Jan 6th when proper law enforcement was mobilized that's exactly what happened

The reason it was not mobilized sooner was directly due to Trump's power as president at the time.

Biden/Harris would not be so hesitant

Only any that are unable to give up on him. One consolation of the decade besides him not winning 2020's election are some remaining voters who turned around.

thats a good point. Id hope that Trump supporters wont try and do some crazy extremist shit if he loses, but based off of Trumps rhetoriches hoping theyll literally die for him if need be.

Trump looks like he's dying, he might well be. He could always kick the bucket and throw the repugs into total disarray, like a hive without a queen. This would be all the more devastating if it happens close to the election so that they don't have enough time to promote their new candidate.

Of course, there would be conspiracy theories, but the GOP spits those out for just about everything nowadays, anyway. They make Dale Gribble look like the voice of sanity in comparison.

But yeah, if he does survive till then (which he probably will despite his terrible health choices) and try another Jan 6., a democratic POTUS and administration will be in charge this time, and will not only be ready for the MAGA terrorists this time but will be ready months in advance.

Now, whether they'll be as brutal with them as they need to be is another story. I suspect they would be stopped but also treated with kid gloves, meaning they will continue to try to take over the gov't by force in the future.

If Slug Virus tries another January 6 he won't have the advantage of being prime lunatic. He'll be an ordinary citizen and likely locked away for it. Save the doom and gloom for him winning.

Biden will mobilize the national guard and turn the capitol building into a fortress if he senses that Slug Virus will try and repeat what he did in 2021.

But wasn't the "bad optics of indicting and convicting a former president" a talking point?

If Trump loses and people do more illegal stuff they will go to prison. Sounds like a win.

TC's doom scenarios are both unrealistic.

If Trump wins, that's it. The electoral college will not save the country from Trump and the Republicans. Instead, as it has been for over two centuries, the presidential electors will vote as the party hacks they are.

If Trump loses, Republicans will not be able to do worse than 1/6. The main reason 1/6 got out of hand was that Trump, the prime instigator of that mess, was in a position to prevent any effective law enforcement response for preventing that insurrection.

Yeah Trump supporters will riot again, and fail again. Because this time the sitting president won't do nothing for hours.

Trump losing is the best option. Come next year the best outcome is Dems controlling the house, Senate, and White House.
