If you really want to know what will absolutely happen if he gets reelected, look into Project 2025.

The reason I think this will happen is it doesn't really rely on Trump at all. He'll just do what he's told by these fascists and go along with it. Same thing he did before with the court packing, but this time on an entirely different level.

Removing career employees out of the federal government is how you actually remove the ability of the government to function. These are the people that actually know the rules AND FOLLOW THEM because if not their jobs are on the line. Unlike politicians, they can't just lie to people and get back in power.

Thinking they want sympathy or support is a mistake.

They want fear.

The worst part is Republicans are the first ones to trot out "mandate from the people" whenever they get elected...

If you have kids, the PBS Kids video app is pretty alright. And free (in the US of course)

charisma

kə-rĭz′mə

noun

  • A rare personal quality attributed to leaders who arouse fervent popular devotion and enthusiasm.
  • Personal magnetism or charm.

Is he charming? Depends on preference I think. Does he "arouse fervent popular devotion and enthusiasm"? Absolutely. Why? Hard to say exactly (again, personal preference) but he fits the dictionary definition of "charismatic" to a T.

definitely can’t sway crowds like Trump can

I think this is the biggest issue. He doesn't have the charisma that Trump does. While I've found most of Trump's nicknames for people pretty stupid, "Meatball Ron" is on point.

Running for president doesn't give him privilege to avoid answering for his crimes, but WINNING most definitely does.

Seeing a lot of comments about dementia here, but I honestly think he's just a drunk. Seen plenty of drunks in my life speak like this. Random, almost non-nonsensical comments. Random bits of songs. Screams drunkard to me.

Naw, its really as simple as he got suckered into buying the thing, so now he's gotta try to get money out of it and really has no idea how to do so.

What you really see are the flailings of a desperate manchild who craves attention and really thinks he's smarter than everyone else.
