Are you confident there will be another Presidential Election in the same format as the past, and that Trump won’t manipulate a third term?
If I had to guess (I don't know), my guess would be that there will never be another American presidential election. Trump will murder any/all challengers that do not bend the knee. He will start wearing a crown and he will anoint his eldest son, DT Jr, to rule after he passes.

In addition, by the year 2030, I believe he will rid his kingdom of non-white skinned people.
That certainly seems to be his direction of travel.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

2026/2028 will be here soon enough. We shall see.

JFC.

Why? Just why? And, if you subscribe to the conspiracy, why do you not just say what you are confident in, or not? Seriously, IHQ. Why not just say that you don't believe there will be an election, or that there will, rather than pin some jackassed BS on ceeboo? Why?

I really want to understand this form of communication that relies on throwing some stupid crap at your adversary, waiting for the response, and having some cooked up crap prepared to show that ceeboo is FITH. Help me understand why you do that, instead of just saying what you think.

I am confident there will be elections. Russia holds elections that Putin wins with almost a unanimous vote. Why do you think Trump won't allow elections? We need to face several possibilities:

1. Whiskey, Hound, and Ceeboo are right. The culture is changing. The young people are coming to the Right in droves, and they will handily keep the government in MAGA hands, partly because the Democrats are so lame and ineffective.
2. The GOP handed MAGA such a lopsided advantage through gerrymandering, which, face it, the GOP was simply better at than the Democrats. So Democrats can cry that they did not take this stuff seriously enough, or do it well enough, but boohoo . . . it may be too late.
3. Trump may engage in election fraud. I am not confident that the vote has not been manipulated already. As in the case of Putin, you can hold elections and game them to the point that it looks like you won when you did not win fairly and honestly. The election lacks integrity.

If we are not prepared to face these possibilities, we are fooling ourselves. None of these possibilities requires elections to be canceled. The pretense of democracy is so much more useful to authoritarians that the flagrant quashing of democracy.

There is no theory in all of that. You are one bizarre dude. I present these things as possibilities worth entertaining. You don't understand what a conspiracy theory is, obviously.

I understand nothing. Everything I do is to pedestal your genius and shame my own ignorance and stupidity. How am I doing?

Ceeboo wants to banish skinned people? I don't dare ask who Ceeboo thinks will be skinning them.

One more guess, Ceeboo considers himself 'white.' He's also a bigot but that's been clear for a while now.

You continue to be a weirdo who engages in counterproductive rhetoric.

I’m fairly sure ceeboo was providing a flippant and sarcastic response.

Yeah, I agree that Ceeboo was being sarcastic.
