    Man, that is some gloomy outlook there. What gets you out of bed in the morning at this point? Politics is cyclical. The woke stuff is destroying your team. It's not great timing that's for sure, but eventually it'll swing back your way.
    It is gloomy, but if you track my threads for the past 6 years you'll see that 6 years ago I argued that Trump was dangerous and an existential threat to democracy. People thought I was an alarmist crank years before most people were openly acknowledging it. A year before the 2020 election I was saying that Trump would not peacefully leave office, and people again thought I was an alarmist crank. I can't count the number of times people have responded to my posts by arguing that what I suggested was a line that Trump would never cross. I may be a gloomy alarmist, but I think the track record of my predictions has been better than fair. Bookmark this and get back to me in 2024.

          Do we have to see Civil War II for you to say I told you so, or will you settle for something less drastic?

            Long before the 2020 election I predicted that there would be blood on the street surrounding the election. I don't have to wait to say I told you so.

                        He seems like the same type of person that screams that we aren't a democracy, but a constitutional republic.

                            And they are awful.

                            It is one thing to be pedantic. Quite another to be pedantic and wrong.

                              I saw a clip the other day where someone was talking with attendees of a Trump rally and he was asking them if they were concerned about our democracy. Then they showed how each one them answered and every one forcefully declared that it's not a democracy it's a republic! Then he asked what's the difference. Blank looks and crickets.....

                                I'm guessing the order was a show cause order for why the case should not be dismissed for lack of standing.
