Damon Linker is skeeeeerd!

Here we are in July 2019. The country is wracked by violence, hatred, and economic despair. President Hillary Clinton just declared martial law. And rumors are swirling that the 2020 presidential election might need to be suspended.
How did it come to this?
In retrospect, the country's direction should have been clear since before the 2016 election. All of Donald Trump's (widely believed) talk of the election being rigged, the mischief-making by WikiLeaks, the sporadic left-wing violence against the right. As Trump careened toward defeat, I think most of us naively hoped that he'd back away from his inflammatory rhetoric and the political unrest would die down once the results of the vote were clear and overwhelming.
But of course it didn't happen. Certainly nothing about Trump's behavior up to that point gave us any reason to think he'd suddenly become civically responsible. And besides, he needed to stoke the anger and resentment of his followers to ensure maximum ratings for the launch of Trump TV. People had been speculating about Trump's possible media ambitions throughout the summer and fall of 2016, but few understood at the time that the presidential campaign itself made such a venture absolutely essential for Trump. All of the bad press had decimated his brand. By Election Day, the Trump hotels and golf courses were empty and losing a fortune. He needed another revenue stream, and populist politics was his only option.
Hence Trump's poisonous rant of a "concession" speech after the votes were counted. It was all a marketing ploy — and boy did it work. Sure, it was ridiculous. A nine-point landslide loss a result of election fraud? It was utterly implausible, but that didn't keep millions of Trump voters from believing it — and from vowing to remain loyal to the cause...

Damon Linker ought to be afraid. Slimy opportunist. Can’t think of a better candidate for the gulag myself.
One of the plethora of the problems with the lest is that they think the right is as uncivilized as they are.
Left not lest
Damon Linker is skeeeeerd!
July 2019. Hillary will be 72.
With hillary clinton possessing the launch codes and having her finger on The Button, we’ll be lucky to see the sun rise in July, 2017 - let alone 2019.
Right the WORDs are the problem not the wide spread documented corruption and lawlessness of the Clinton/DNC/Media machine.
Donald J trump is one such individual.
Note how often the left talks up excuses for oppression.
They should be.
A giant has awakened. Trump losing will only embolden the movement.
Not entirely a bad scenario.
The key misunderstanding here is that Congress matters. It really doesn’t.
That’s just the liberal excuse for the last 6 years.
The administrative state rules perfectly well without it, it makes all the laws it needs simply by reinterpreting existing ones, or getting courts to do so.
Hillary is damaged goods no matter what happens.
If she wins, she will have no mandate to govern.
And that’s with possible criminal indictment looming over her head...
He looks gay
(Here we are in July 2019. The country is wracked by violence, hatred, and economic despair)
Is this writer been trapped in a cave for the past 8 years?
Here we are November 2016. The country is wracked by violence, hatred and economic despair!
If that’s what he REALLY thinks a Trump lose would bring, why on Earth would you vote for SWMNBN?
Why are these a$$holes aways bald with facial hair?
Therefore, in order to avoid the disaster outlined, we must decisively elect Trump in a landslide. Thanks, Damon !
