    Bannon is a piece of shit ghoul but of MAGAs most influential assholes he’s ones of the few that has enough guile to understand what will happen if they somehow lose the gambit they’ve embarked upon. Things are only going to escalate from here after the big loses they suffered Tuesday and as the economy continues to ride a unicycle on a 2x4 across the Grand Canyon

      I wonder if Bannon and trump internally refer to this future state as being Bolsonaro’d.

      I found the book mindfuck so interesting listening through who bannon was when the guy first met him and the journey to what he became.

      We tend to assume these pieces of shit were always as bad as they currently are, so listening to stories like that are quite valuable to understanding how we get to where we are/were. The way this kind of awful can grow in the right person.

    If a 2028 Democratic presidential candidate has any platform other than arresting Republican figureheads, I will not support them. Lawbreakers and criminals belong in prison.

      I’ll be honest, I would not have had the left campaigning on “lock him up” but I’m not sure there can be any other option.

      If they cop out with some unity bullshit it will just happen again in 4 years when people forget or decide they need a change or whatever.

      Yay 2 party systems.

    He doesn’t need to worry, there won’t be a democratic win in a big election ever again.
    And even IF for some miracle it would happen, they are so milquetoast that they would probably give out blanket immunity “for the sake of not dividing the nation further”

      It really depends on what happens with Democrat leadership over the next few years. If enough progressives manage to actually wrest control from the octogenarians, including by means of winning primaries like Mamdani, then we may see greater interest in some degree of accountability. Whether that’s prison time or something else, who knows.

      The other side of the Confederates are getting more extreme? I see him claiming the opposition to Pedonald are “radical” (lol), I don’t even know what that means? Maybe that some Democrats came back to a more central position from being basically moderate Republicans?

          More center after shifting to the right, year after year, for a few decades?

          It’d be nice to have a party that represented where most Americans poll on key issues.

    Reminds me of the October revolution a bit, Lenin screaming to seize power now (that the provisional government is weak)

    You mean the people who betrayed America and let hundred of thousand of Americans needlessly die in the pandemic?

    Then cut aid to foreign governments so they could bail out their authoritarian friends causing hundreds of thousands more people around the world to die needlessly?

    Oh, Steve. If there’s any justice in the world, you’ll never see the inside of a prison. Just the inside of a blindfold.
