Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

I so want to have hope that this time, finally, he'll lose supporters.
I want to.
Unfortunately, we've been through this too many times with things that are far worse and somehow he never seems to lose them, not really, so...eh.
He'll lose supporters only after he and his movement have been comprehensively, decisively defeated. Then they'll all deny that they knew what they were supporting, or that the supported him at all. And two generations later, someone will run the same con again and a new generation of rubes will fall for it.
Does it matter? He won't be a candidate again anyway.
Wasn't legal for him to run this time either. Didn't stop him.
I keep saying his inauguration is unconstitutional, but if nobody stops him, it's allowed. I would not be so flippant about the chances of him remaining president beyond his 2 term limit.
This is one of those things I really hope I'm wrong about, but I don't have very much hope left.
Trump is a symptom, not a cause. This disease runs deep.
Yep. To quote Obama about something else, donvict didn't build that. He just walked in and slapped his name on the place. Kind of like "his" buildings.
Oh they are going to throw him away the next time someone steps in. It's about owning the libs and how we don't know what they need.
They need a good ass-kicking, is what they need.
I think they were asking for a spanking when "daddy comes home" per an earlier rally.
Was that when Cuck Carlson was going on about his apparent kink? I think someone should have opened an investigation into him while we still have a justice system...
Yeah, you could tell the Cuck was feeling a certain way when he said it. He enjoyed it too much.
I mean, a whole lot of stupid men have being a qon all bound up in the idea of their masculinity, so....the alternative is, what, to emasculate themselves, hand over their nads to the sheocracy and vote for a woman?
Well he did lose supporters. Unfortunately a bunch of lazy fucks sat out this election and let him win with less votes.
Um... No, he got more votes than in either of his previous elections. Millions more.
At least according to the records I've seen.
