In last night's PCS Chat, Linda posed a pretty compelling question about Donald Trump and the upcoming election that I don't think we've ever collectively pondered in an organized fashion here before.
I don't want to skew this by implying scenarios or putting my 'take' on at the start, so I'm just going to insert a screenshot of Linda's own words from the Chat page last night…
What does the 2024 American Presidential Election landscape…with NO Donald Trump in it whatsoever…look like to you?
Maybe all the left’s festering boils from their allergic reaction to him will finally heal. Seriously though, my first thought is there would be a lot less drama.
I can’t contemplate a hypothetical. We can’t unTrump, because however it would come about would change the equation in some unfathomable fashion.
Maybe he has a stroke? Maybe he’s assassinated? Maybe he just says fuck politics, and goes on his merry way? Any of those situations would be a critical variable in hypothetical no Trump scenario. Bottom line is you can’t unring a bell.
