    Since I got less skin the game (don’t live in the US), the funniest outcome for me would be trump being convicted, elected, and then pardoning himself.

    I feel like the liberal population would implode

      I’m holding out hope that he gets convicted in some state (Georgia, probably) and then can’t pardon himself so he has to serve out his term from a jail cell. that would be the absolute funniest outcome and so on brand for the US.

        I thought that would stop him of being electable. If I misunderstood then you are right, it would be the funniest outcome

          there’s a technicality that you can’t hold federal office if you’ve done an insurrection, which is what the libs are furiously gesturing at. but they fundamentally misunderstand power. the supreme court can and will throw at that statute if it ever comes up in a case and it benefits them. but no state convictions or even lesser federal ones stop someone from taking power, once elected.

          USian federalism is weird. we elect a king every 4 years but his lords can throw him in jail and keep him there, while the priests deify his reign.

      This is the funniest outcome!!! I want to see the libs collectively explode and follow that up by doing nothing except “epic owns” like “dae le cheeto da white house”
