Watching to see of Boebert, Jordan, or Gaetz nominate Trump for Speaker tomorrow. The narrative popularized by right wing propaganda is Trump becomes Speaker, the House impeaches Biden & Harris, so that Speaker Trump becomes President again.

Of course it is ridiculous and will likely never happen. Would Trump enjoy being Speaker Chaos Obstructionist Narcissist Manbaby for two year? Maybe he would.

My advice to the GOP: keep digging.

If the GOP and democracy does manage to survive until 2024, my theory is it will be Pence-Cheney. So much for my Joseph Smith skills.

I think the 2024 elections are the real danger point, where they’’ll try to get a fascist dark horse elected, likely DeSantis or Musk, presenting him as more serious and capable than Trump, but still with the same abusive fascist mindset.

If Democrats can manage to get us past that, not that we’re “home free”, but at least we’ll have weathered the worst of it. I’m confident if we can win there, we’ll evolve to a better place the further we get from Trump’s presidency

I see little danger of actual attempts to steal power outside a major event like an election. The Jan 6 extremism is only embraced by like 15% of the nation, don’t forget:

Musk was not born in the United States so not eligible under current laws to be POTUS

At least they pissed away a bunch of billions on Twitter. Can’t say anyone can believe it was worth it, especially if that delicious sharing of ideas just occurs here on substack and elsewhere instead.

Elon can’t kill the internet. He can’t even really kill twitter. He’s being made the fool seems to me. I just wish our doj would step up, or to know why the fuck they won’t on Trump Flynn Stone Manafort etc
