Which Republican considering running for president in 2024 are you the most concerned about actually being able to win? Why?

@therobburgessshow Ron DeSantis scares me more than the others, because he's got all the bigoted evil of Trump, but can form complete sentences and walk down a ramp without assistance. He's a semi-functional Donnie, and so is capable of succeeding, where TFG failed.

@ScottSoCal @therobburgessshow Agreed. Trump is imminently corrupt and venal but his motivation invariably is greed and narcissistic needs. Very predictable.DeSantis is corrupt and venal but he is ideological and competent. He is also willing to use his regime against political opponents, private businesses, marginalized groups, and individual citizens. He put Florida in danger financially by waging war on his investment group for supporting social and environmental projects. He's willing to sacrifice every Floridian to COVID in order to cherry pick his surgeon general based on his ideology alone. And Floridians will lie down in droves and die for him. All this regardless of whether it is legal or even constitutional; he flouts the courts and law. Florida is a fascist petri dish of what the Nation will become if a Republican wins.

@Tilopa @ScottSoCal @therobburgessshow We may not have long to wait.It used to be when I would see some new scientific advancement or new technological breakthrough, I would get so excited and think, "oh man, in 15-20 years can you imagine how this will be..." I don't feel that way anymore.Now, I think in 15-20 years we'll be on an Earth in drastic climate change, having wars for resources as arable land moves, sea level rises, and America will be a fascist handmaiden's/1984 world.

@DroidEngineer @ScottSoCal @therobburgessshow I live my little life, and though I follow the news, and have opinions, I try to keep perspective: "here I am, life is miserable, full of violence, disappointment, and pain, but as bad as it is, one's gotta make the best of it, and at least I won't live forever, and when I am dead let fire the Earth consume".

@DroidEngineer @Tilopa @ScottSoCal @therobburgessshow I think about Star Trek Canon, Earth went through another World War before getting our act together. Too many ignorant think their ignorance deserves a seat at the decision making table.

@therobburgessshow @BikeyBike @Tilopa @ScottSoCal At this point, they could beam me up and store me in the pattern buffers indefinitely until America kicks or succumbs to this right-wing fascist fever.

@DroidEngineer @therobburgessshow @BikeyBike @ScottSoCal You know what I want? I want God, or Buddha, to come down, apologize for wasting my time in this miserable Hell, then annihilate the universe, so I'll be reduced to absolute nothingness. That's Heaven to me. I'm sick of this shit. Glued to this chair getting thromboses for the last decade, feeling by turns psychotic with rage, and suicidally depressed. I just want to spit on the world and die. That's the brutal, honest truth.

@DroidEngineer @therobburgessshow @BikeyBike @ScottSoCal Shiva the Destroyer, yeah. Of course, I've been drinking too hard today, and feel a little bummed, that's all, so pardon the nihilistic misery-porn. I know I'm not alone, and God knows life could be a lot worse.. e.g I'm not homeless, or being shot in Ukraine, it's just, the world does at times feel like a vast, soulless tree-shredder, and I'm the tree. I'm hoping when Trump dies in pain, I'll be able to smile again. 👍

@GatekeepKen @ScottSoCal @therobburgessshow I think you are right. The unreality that the right-wing ecosystem has created cannot stand up to truth, which is why republicans have cancelled non-partisan debates, banned non-partisan media from their events. They have a huge propaganda network (fox) that actively colludes and conspires with sitting members of the government to defraud the American people. And in so doing, are able to pass legislature based on demonstrably provable lies (any "voter integrity" law, don't say gay, anti-trans, etc) which they then use as the very evidence to support them. It's a form of circular reasoning.1) Cruz,Hawley,etc goes on Fox spouting election lies and "just asking questions."2) Republican voters are furious and want action.3) Cruz et al then offers legislature to remedy the "problem."4) When asked why they are pushing election lies they cite their constituents' anger (of the election lies they told them).

@GatekeepKen @ScottSoCal @therobburgessshow Here's a real-time update. The assertion I made about Fox being a propaganda network that colludes and conspires with republican gov't officials? We already knew about Hannity/Carlson et al's propaganda work for republicans through released text messages.From the latest filing from Dominion in the Fox defamation lawsuit:"During Trump's campaign, Rupert provided Kushner with confidential information about Biden's ads, along with debate strategy."A "News Network" giving confidential information from a politician's ad campaign and testing help to that politician's opponent. At the highest levels, Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, CEO they've actively participated to deceive and defraud the American people by colluding with one extreme political party and presenting their wrapped-up, polished propaganda as news.For the breaking news and details, see Teri Kanefield's excellent analysis.https://law-and-politics.online/@Teri_Kanefield/109939479532762948
