In my opinion, for what it's worth, any MAGA that bothers watching that speech is already planning to vote. I don't see it as spurring anyone who planned to sit it out.
I don't argue other than pointing out no one since Wallace has engaged in the sort of belligerence the Orange Confederate Seditious Traitor has ... and connected directly to the sadly large number of Klan filth and trash that pollute this land ...
I think, after the election, assuming a Biden/Harris win, is when the real work begins. We'll be shaking down grifters in the WH and Congress; getting statehood to DC, PR, American Samoa, Guam, US VI, N Mariana Islands; fixing gerrymandering; cleaning up the SCOTUS; ending fillibustering; finding the families of the lost children; putting out fires; reversing climate change; implementing a Green New Deal; fixing Social Security; creating a better health system; fixing educational inequities; restructuring law enforcement, and on and on and on. Remember in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, when they won the revolution, and then the hard and boring work began? Kinda like that. Once we've pried the wheel out of the hands of the drunken megalomaniac at the helm, we have to turn hard to keep from reefing wide open, and we also have to get very, very lucky. I think the writers will find plenty of material to keep them busy.
Let's talk about a worst-case scenario; trumpence-none-the-wiser wins, or more plausible, steals the election, trumb tells pence to step down, and appoints ivanka as VP, and then trumb retires and ivanka forgives all, and takes up the reins of power. The writers will continue to have plenty to write about, but may need to find safer places from which to do so. Those of us who have Plan B's will probably execute, and those who do not will consider their options and make their best choices. We hope for the best and map out survival.
But until this election is over, we are in limbo; we wait, we act, we count down the days and the hours until Tuesday. For many of us, that will be one of the most important and memorable days of our lives, and will have a significant impact on our futures.
So we are here, and gather around the electronic burn barrel for the little warmth it radiates before the wind sucks it away into the night, and for the camaraderie and comfort we take in those who are gathered with us in the darkness, hoping there will be a morning.
Trump is the least funny public figure in recent memory. And maybe distant memory, also, too. And soi distant, whatever, you get my point. He's just an un-funny schlump. Four years, zero quips.
Yes, but too friggin' bad. If we pussyfoot around trying not to offend these dysfunctional bigots we won't have a free country and real democracy. I'm not sayin' we have to call them names, but if they get upset that a Black man was president or a Black woman is VP, then they'll just have to grow, or unplug and go back to fishing while there are still fish or rolling coal while there are still, um, gas-powered pickups.
They have 2nd-hand Harleys?
Why not? The term limit amendment just says someone can't be elected more than twice.
Cruel and unusual punishment, if memory serves. Might include excessive fines and bail.
Magarathea reopened?
I'm enjoying all of them. Perhaps skip them if you don't like ?
My favorite word that he does.

Where do you see the word "votes" in the Constitution?

Pretty soon, you're talking real magnitude.
Well put. Especially "INSIDE-OUT ASSHOLE!!!"
