Suddenly, Trump Is Interested in Democracy

Quote

Trump himself launched his presidential career by arguing that President Barack Obama should not have been able to run for president because Obama was not a natural-born citizen of the United States. In 2016, Trump argued that his rival Ted Cruz should be disqualified as a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination because Cruz was born in Canada. (Unlike Trump’s fantasies about Obama, Trump was right on the facts about Cruz—just wrong on the law.)

In 2020, Trump tried to disqualify voters who’d exercised their right to vote by mail or whose ballots had for any reason not yet been counted by midnight on Election Day.

Trump and his supporters have conjured a series of self-serving rules. Where antique anti-majoritarian devices work for them, the antique anti-majoritarian devices prevail. Where crude gaming of filibusters and gerrymandering works for them, the crude gaming must prevail. Where fraud and violence work for them, fraud and violence must prevail. And where invoking democratic ideas works for them—well, you can complete the sentence. 

Of course. WhatEVER works for Trump at the moment cause he's such a strategic opporuinist.

Yeah that's how you win. You might have noticed by now, with the thousands of hours of video games you people play.

Unless of course, you're a bit of a dim bulb?

Shows what you know (nothing). I haven't played video games (except a few slots) in over 30 years.

Congrats on continually proving you're often wrong.

Russia's dictator said at some point something like "any kitchen boy can run the Russian state". MAGA set out to beat that with "any crook can be the President of the United States of America". That's progress, right?

The year I dropped out, I earned about $100,000. Helped my father maintain his business and helped financially an elderly couple move.
