Tomorrow, Joe Biden takes over from Donald Trump as commander in chief, and with it will end the MAGAThread series. My verdict on the Trump presidency? Absolutely divisive, before it all came crashing down in the aftermath of the Capitol Hill storming.

No. He will continue to be an actor on the streets and direct his trumpian army and MAGA cohorts in many states around the US and possibly beyond. No longer bound by the limits of office he can go all out and on the rampage.

Once out of office he'll also lose the gravity of the office or the ability to do anything BUT complain. Tarnished as the thing he hates the most, being a loser, his relevance will slowly start to circle the bowl. Especially true if some of the chickens come home to roost regarding the shit he's done.

When he has to start footing the bill his hugfests won't be as much of a thing and if the Party starts to turn away to save themselves in the next election he'll just be a has been.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

It will be harder without Twitter, Facebook et al. It will depend on the ability of the likes of Parler and Gab to survive with hosts under increasing pressure to deny service to the extreme right, something that is very controversial due to lack of agreement on how to tackle it without causing collateral damage to legitimate uses of free speech.

Russian Friends of Hamas sounds like an edgy 80s political punk band.

MAGA certainly won't. Now Trump's activities will be of interest especially to NY State process servers and who know who else. We might need a thread for that.

Just to all those who cheer the impending end of this thread (which is really redundant since we already have an US thread) and the banning of Trump from Twitter and the end of his desastrous Presidency etc. This is my last post in this thread:

The historical situation, conditions and environment that brought Trump into existence as political figure and allowed for his rise to power in the USA are all the more present than they were when he came to power in 2016.

You can be cheer all you want that Jack Dorsey has freed you from the compulsive obsessive urge to check out his Twitter feed and be outraged over his blatant nonsense and bullshit and that hes out of sight for the time being.

Its a folly. He's not cause but symptom of bigger problems and crisis. As long as those causes are not addressed and keep being ignored the symptoms will persist. Trump was good in casting a spotlight upon all those things. Things a lot of people prefer to not look at, things you'd pretend that dont exist. Trump brought them to the light. And thats what you hated him for.

But he was, in a way, (initially at least) necessary to reveal all those things and expose the true state of things and rub it into your face.

No he wasn't.

Most rational people already learned this lesson under Dubya or during the Reps. stranglehold over the Senate.

What good ending?

We're just gonna have another malicious Rep pop up in 4-8 years and erase any and all work the Dems have done to fix the bs Trump caused. As is not the current trend, The Reps ruin everything, The Dems come in a clean The Reps shit, The Reps come back again and fuck up everything, rinse and repeat ad nauseum.
