We have to consider the possibility…

One day there will be silence. One day.

Low key, that was probably the main reason to vote for Harris (apart from all of the other more important reasons of course).

Imagine just never having to hear Trump’s voice, or see his face, or care about his continued existence, ever again, because he’s now just a guy, or better yet, just rotting in a prison cell.

That’d be more satisfying than anything.

Unfortunately, we could never fully forget him, because we’d risk repeating the same mistake, but to only have to mention him very occasionally in passing, as reference to someone corrupt/evil, or to only have to hear about him maybe once per month, or once per year, would be fucking amazing.

But you know, inflation or something, so we couldn’t have that, because we can’t have nice things apparently (and Trump’s going to make sure to see that we don’t).

That's what we thought we were gonna get when we voted for Biden in 2020, especially after January 6th happened. But his DOJ and feckless AG Garland really dropped the ball on throwing the Orange Menace behind bars. That asshole and all of his accomplices should have been in prison well before the 2024 election.

Garland and the DOJ went after him as agressively as they could. But it was hard to move fast when the Supreme Court was constantly slapping them with more and more restrictions on what they could do, forcing them to take absurd detours that added months to the investigation before they could move forward with legal motions that normally take a few hours tops.

I’m certain there are powers beyond Presidents and Prime Ministers and Kings and Queens who secretly run the country. The ‘leader’ is just for show. And when the leader tries to expose them they suddenly die.

Exactly. The fall of America needs a face, and Trump is the perfect fit. He's doing a great job of it. No one has done more to destroy a country in as short a time as DJT. He's brought more chaos than anyone has ever seen.
