2024 Election Series
No this is not some whacked out predict of the end of the world....but instead a promise from a 'great American' (in some eyes).
For months now Donald the Orange has been promising to seek retaliation on his opponents and he renewed the promise at the most recent CPAC speech.
Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said Election Day in November this year will end up being a "judgement day" for his political opponents if he wins and vowed mass deportations on a scale never seen in the United States.
As part of a rambling and bizarre speech at the annual CPAC gathering of far-right activists and GOP operatives, Trump said, "For hardworking Americans, November 5 will be our new liberation day. But for the liars and cheaters and fraudsters and censors and imposters who have commandeered our government, it will be judgement day."
Though he previously served as the President of the United States and remains de facto head of the Republican Party, Trump cast himself to the fascist audience members as a political "dissident" who would have his "ultimate and absolute revenge" on President Joe Biden and the Democrats who he claimed had turned the nation into a "living hell."
Federal statistics show that crime rates have fallen since 2022, but that didn't stop Trump from characterizing the nation as a crime-ridden dystopia on verge of annihiliation.
"Our country is being destroyed and the only thing standing between you and its obliteration is me," Trump declared, harnessing his familiar demagoguery in which he characterizes himself as an authoritarian savior.

Ever wonder Why is populism attracting so many psychopaths?
Maybe this will help with an answer....
Psychopathic traits are associated with the endorsement of populist attitudes, according to new research published in the journal Electoral Studies. The findings shed light on the psychological foundations of populism, focusing on how the Dark Triad of personality interacts with populist beliefs across various European nations.
Populism is a political approach that seeks to champion the common people against a perceived elite or establishment that is considered corrupt or out of touch with the general population's needs. At its core, populism divides society into two antagonistic groups: the pure people and the corrupt elite. Populism can manifest across the political spectrum, from left to right, and has been a driving force behind various political movements and leaders around the world, including Donald Trump in the United States.
The Dark Triad, on the other hand, refers to a trio of negative personality traits: Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. Machiavellianism is characterized by manipulativeness, a cynical disregard for morality, and a focus on self-interest. Narcissism involves grandiosity, entitlement, and a lack of empathy. Psychopathy is marked by impulsivity, a lack of remorse, and antisocial behavior.

Does not seem to be much interest in the coming election....is that because you have made up your mind or is it you just don't f*cking care?
