Trump will probably lose. If the polls are close, the Democrats’ money and machinery will put them over the top.
I think DeSantis would fare better in a general election, but it may be that no one can win. The communists have been masterful at steadily seizing all the power structures but changing the voting system during the pandemic was their biggest coup. These systems can still be overwhelmed with a decisive shift in voter opinion, but good luck with that. 47% of the country would vote for Mao over Trump, and Biden is doing his best impression of him.
Trump will be convicted in DC. It doesn’t matter that the charges are garbage and a flagrant violation of his 1st Amendment rights. I would be hopeful that it would get appealed to SCOTUS and overturned, but who knows.
I don’t look forward to what happens next, but I’ve seen enough history from third world s-holes to know. It’s not civil war. Just govt officials turning up dead, political violence in the streets and more of these political imprisonments. We should have killed communism in the cradle, and now it’s coming into full bloom.
“I think DeSantis would fare better in a general election”
His polling is at 8%, so I don’t think so.
