1. Trump will have a primary with fewer competitors than 2016 (not hard). DeSantis is the clear runner up.
  2. The liberal media and fox news will swoon over DeSantis. Everything Trump says will be rejectedout of hand by the media but DeSantis could say and mean the exact same thing Trump says and will be praised. Because only the character of Trump is what they reject, not his politics. Therefore, through DeSantis, Trump’s politics will become normalized.
  3. Trump still beats DeSantis and the media will try to denormalized Trump’s politics again as though nothing happened.

every time they beg her to run she says she’s not gonna run. i think she likes attention so she keeps doin interviews giving advice to the dems, but losing in 2016 crushed her spiritually and delusional as she is she doesn’t think she could do it again.

This is somehow a more obvious outcome than Trump winning at all.

Or become Trump’s running mate. It’s not as if we’re going to see a Trump / Pence ticket again.

While I’m at the lathe. The next president, whoever that is, will have a stroke in office but will survive. The media will pretend the President is so strong and brave to keep serving while its not entirely clear that they are able to. Some will spuspec that the President is half brain dead but we’ll never get enough raw footage to tell.

My knowledge gets hazy after 1953, but I strongly feel like this already happened in late-stage USSR. It feels both weird and perfectly predictable that we’re collapsing in similar ways to them. Or is this just how all empires crumble from within? Everyone doing an " everything is going great" face while we all know it’s rotting from the inside out?

Trump runs 2024 with Donald Jr as his running mate, understanding his first born is both sycophantically loyal and couldn’t be less of a threat.

They win.

Trump survives his second term.

Russia-Gate happens all over again, recycled like it ever accomplished anything the first time around. Impeachments happen to no effect.

Donald Jr tries to run in 2028 and loses the GOP primary to DeSantis, who has slightly more of a spine relative only to Jr.

DeSantis loses to Mitt Romney running as a Democrat, with Liz Cheney as his running mate.
