What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Tamas]

Commission wants virtual debate on the 15th, Trump is not impressed:

I'm not going to do a virtual debate. I'm not gonna waste my time on a virtual debate, that's not what debating is all about. You sit behind a computer and do it, debates? Ridiculous. And then they cut you off whenever they want.

If he cannot just yell people into submission, he is not participating.

What is "rank democracy"?

What a doofus. He is way behind in the polls. His only hope is to have Biden blunder badly, and the best chance of that is in a debate. It is probably to Biden's benefit to cancel the debates, but Biden doesn't want to propose that because the campaign that moves to cancel is going to take a backlash. Trump canceling? That is a double win.

I am going to risk offending more people into voting for him, but he is one of the stupidest person I have ever witnessed in any position of authority.

You've gone too far. I'm voting for him out of sympathy.

Nobody cares if you insult Trump. It's insulting their Trump-voting friends and family which pisses people off.

Wasn't this guy infected too? Probably on the same drug cocktail as Trump.

Then they may be more idiotic then their Trump supporting idiot friends.

I'm on board for anyone to insult my Trump-voting uncle.

That is fine with me, but insulting people who are on the fence is just counterproductive and stupid.

What is "rank democracy"?

"Rank" in this context would be "absolute" or "complete and utter." 

There's nothing surprising of untoward about this statement, other than the vocabulary chosen.  Unfettered democracy has been described as "two lions and a sheep voting on what's for lunch."

So says every Trumpeter.  In reality, Trump-voting non-fascists deserve to be insulted.  They are morons who value their feels above their country.

That is fine with me, but insulting accurately describing people who are on the fence is just counterproductive and stupid.

People who are "on the fence" about Trump either just woke up from a four-year coma or are secretly Trumpeters who are ashamed to admit it.  It's like being "on the fence" about Osama bin Laden.

The FBI thwarted what they described as a plot to violently overthrow the government and kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and federal prosecutors are expected to discuss the alleged conspiracy later Thursday.

The alleged plot involved reaching out to members of a Michigan militia, according to a federal affidavit filed Thursday.

"Several members talked about murdering 'tyrants' or 'taking' a sitting governor," an FBI agent wrote in the affidavit. "The group decided they needed to increase their numbers and encouraged each other to talk to their neighbors and spread their message."

Insane Right-Wingers: We're gonna overthrow the government.

*Is arrested*

Insane Right-Wingers: We're being OPPRESSED for our BELIEFS.

There's a difference between what someone deserves, and what is effective.

A Trump voted probably does deserve to be insulted.  But if you're trying to get them to change their vote, insulting them is a highly ineffective tactic.

Edit: There's two relatively prominent GOP #NeverTrump groups out there stumping for Biden.  One if the Lincoln Project, which has gotten a lot of coverage.  It tends to do a lock of mocking of Trump.  Personally I find their stuff hilarious, but it's very much preaching to the choir.

The other is Republican Voters Against Trump.  They just put out a whole bunch of testimonials - some voter will tape themselves, explain why they're a republican and then explain why it's important to vote for Joe Biden.  Not nearly so funny, no real mocking of the GOP - but my bet is that approach is far more likely to get someone to change their mind.
