The only possible comeback to this is that Trump is somehow unique. We can hope. But gross people have been taking LOTS of notes from him for a long time now. And nothing changes the fact that 2028 is really, really far away.
I'd just say that it doesn't matter what trump does or doesn't do. The US voting population doesn't have the capacity to wade through facts and whatnot to make a fair evaluation of the candidates. Leave that to Canada and Europe, for now.
As for the USA:
The US voting population will simply swing back and forth from one party to the other. The campaign will start 18 months before the election, but that's just for the nomination. The general election result is baked in...the Republican will lose and the Democrat will win.
The only thing American voters can measure is their dislike of politicians in office and their boredom. They will vote the opposite they voted last time. Because they do not like politicians in office and they get bored of the same old same old.
No Republican has much of a chance in 2028.
Back and forth, back and forth.

Just like Netanyahu you don’t give damn about the hostages. You like seeing brown people die because you are a racist.
Liberals never miss an opportunity to demonstrate how loathesome they are.
I promise you I care more about the hostages than you care about the people of Ukraine or the children of Gaza.
I also care more about the children of Gaza and the Ukrainians than you do.
I want the killing to stop while all you care about is the thrill you get from virtue signaling about things you don't actually give a damn about.

Would I support trump? Are you kidding me? Do you know who I am?
Of course I would not. I wouldn't hire trump to walk my dog. No company would ever hire trump to do anything except be a boiler room penny stock salesman. he's a thief, a felon, a liar, an ignorant stupid mess. Who is probably the best salesman on the planet.
Or maybe door to door vacuum sales. Or time shares. he'd be good at moving timeshares onto the rubes.

I just thought that since all your posts here showed how much you liked Trump, you’d want him to take a 3rd term ;)

note that the nazis put most of their worst prison camps in countries other than Germany, just like trump wants to do in El Salvador and probably elsewhere.
Then and now, this was to avoid checks on the power of the central government or from lawyers. 'not on German/American soil - our laws don't apply there' applies to both.

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."Unfortunately, the bolded part above only applies to the (extremely?) low-information "swing voters." Tens of millions of people in the M*G* base DO know facts about Trump. They know much of what he says and much of what he does. Sure, they're shielded from SOME of it, and accurate interpretations of it, but they know him pretty well.
Of course, this doesn't change the conversation about swings and the relative chances of change in the future. For that, it IS all about that small "middle." But it is an awfully depressing reminder that the vast majority of the reason that we have a Trump is because 30-40% of voting Americans LIKE Trump. It's far worse than just Clueless Ken and Karen swing voters.

Trump is basically asserting that he has the power to arrest and deport anyone -- even a U.S. citizen -- and immediately send them to a foreign prison where the U.S. court system can never touch them again.
That is the power of a dictator.- noah smith

If true, what are you going to do about it?
I mean, you lefties hate guns, and think that a well regulated militia is under the control of the government.
