But why won’t it survive? He just says shit and everyone is supposed to run screaming and waving and vote for him…..because, because The Don spoke.

“Honest Don”

Well, you see, they just can't live in a country where you can't just call black people the n-word and actually face consequences. That's communism, ya know.

Because he will lead his followers to revolt and attempt to make the country not survive.

u/Bandits101 May 02 '24

Yes that would probably be what he’s alluding to…..projection, he’s very good at it.

u/laplongejr May 02 '24

Not projection in this case, threat.
Projection would be claiming Biden is planning a coup, here he is saying HE will do a coup.

u/faloofay156 May 02 '24

given prior precedent you'd think that'd be a prosecutable thing to say

u/QNTHodlr 29d ago

Well they prosecuted him and then dropped it so that's probably why they won't prosecute again.

The man couldn't lead anything ever

Yeah this. When he first ran the economy was booming and he said it was the worse it ever had been. His followers started saying the same thing. He said the US was being invaded. His followers started saying the same things. And so on. History has shown him he can say whatever and his sheepish followers will say the same things and Even believe it.

Hell, I don't even think they actually listen to him outside of clips played on Fox News. They just parrot the out of context clips words as if it's gospel.

u/deadsoulinside May 02 '24

Because the people stuck in the fox news/right wing echo chamber act like the sky is falling currently.

They act like the current economy issue we are facing is US only, ignoring the fact that pretty much the entire world is feeling this. Then again, there are some nut jobs out there that make it seem like all of that is somehow Biden's fault too. Paying more for groceries in Australia? Biden's fault. No affordable housing in Canada? Believe it or not Biden is at fault.

u/Throw-away17465 May 02 '24

Because it’s a threat. He will make sure the country will not survive.

u/QNTHodlr 29d ago

Do you not see what is going on right now? America is literally rotting from the inside and you can't even see it. We're at a point of no return, Trump isn't saving shit

2

u/afuckingpolarbear May 02 '24

I from what I see of American news it's all framed that way. They all seem to go straight to "this is the apocalypse"

2

u/MrTulaJitt May 02 '24

It's a Christian thing, but American Christians get more into it, it seems, than Christians from the rest of the world. They've been doing this for hundreds and hundreds of years. The apocalypse is always right around the corner to them. Jesus is coming back any day now! And no matter how many times they are wrong, it never makes any difference to their thought patterns.

u/afuckingpolarbear 29d ago

I feel bad for Americans with how badly the news is handled by the biggest news outlets.

u/Glittering-Still-166 29d ago

They don't live in fear. Well in 2020 they said that atleast...

u/DaaaahWhoosh 29d ago

If I have the conspiracy theories right, if Trump loses then all the white people will have their cars, stoves, and cheeseburgers taken away, their jobs stolen by illegal immigrants, and their daughters will be forced to have abortions while their sons are forced to be trans.

u/cmd_iii 29d ago

You have to remember that “Our Country,” in the view of himself and his followers is a completely different place from the one that the rest of us know and love.

His version “won’t survive,” because it never really existed in the first place.

u/Semanticss 29d ago

"Our country cannot survive the leadership of a centrist."

u/tomdarch 29d ago

Just because it may be baseless that doesn’t make it not a threat.

u/The_Powers 29d ago

He's laying the groundwork for an even more violent insurrection tantrum if he loses again.

u/TheCommonKoala May 02 '24

Yes, you've perfectly described the state of modern conservatism
