It's like you guys have learned nothing in the last 10 years.

I have been following politics avticely maybe for 2 years now. 

Well trump did a lot of shit like the stupid tarrifs which damaged the whole worlds economy, attack iran, ... and while he got critique from some republicans the majority of them stayed loyal to their strongmen. So yeah, thats pretty sobering, I forgot. 

But a nuke would be a new level. And with trumps approval dwindling the republicans must fear loosing their voters if they keep on supporting this madness. Not saying the republicans would all be against him then, but maybe a big enough chunk would support an impeachment.

What about the military, would they ever disobey orders?

Lol.

They will feel no guilt at all.

Shame? MAGA has no shame.

Trump has nothing left to lose. He will resort to desperate measures to try to feel powerful.

Wrong. I have MAGA Christian family members and I know their psychologies intimately. If you don’t think a sizable chunk of MAGA would feel bad if Trumped dropped a nuke, you’re missing something in your model of MAGA. The thing is, they’re too stupid to understand the implications of dropping a nuke. As a result, they can say it’s what should be done or act like it wouldn’t bother them, but when the reality hits and they saw all the horror stories and extreme global condemnation, they’d be fucked up.

I think that we underestimate in what level we are as civilization at the moment. There is a lot at stake, for everyone and of course for the power grab ones even more. I think that for the elite the stakes are higher even from the simple guy in a small village trying to make ends meet. So we underestimate what crazy moves Trump may want to do to stay in Power, and the ones who are beting on him.

Have you voted?  I did yesterday by mail.

They live in a delusional reality bubble. And Trump does not care what Christians think.

The nuke won't be dropped on a city but on a nuclear refinery site in the middle of nowhere.

In case that happen, what repercutions that may have politicaly,economicaly etc.. because that would not be made only because. Nothing is made totally for no strategic reason or?

All negative.

Might even trigger the AI bubble to burst and crash the global economy.

This would be a wake up for a lot of people. 

[Leo Gura]

Might embolden Putin to use a nuke in Ukraine.

I just did, in Texas.

I gave up hope in elections and people in 2024. But, scuttlebutt is that Texas is actually a close race, so whatever, still voted. I still expect the worst and for people to have not learned their lessons.

Democracy is a mistake!

No, but he cares that they like him. I think If Trump dropped a nuke, it would be his end.

You have to appreciate how much fear a dropped nuke would produce. If America is dropping nukes on other countries, the fear that America will get nuked skyrockets, and MAGA isn't exempt from that fear.

The midterm meltdown is going to be crazy. 

Talk about insane aura loss compared to 2016. Bros acting petulant.

Prediction: Democrats are winning the House and Senate.

Any predictions on what happens to Trump if Dems win House and Senate?

None that I’m particularly confident in, beyond Trump freaking out on Truth Social and accusing the Dems of cheating.
