Yes, you have a dog in this fight

I can say with a very strong certainty that if Trump wants the Republican nomination, then he's going to get the Republican nomination.

And as for the general election? OF COURSE I hope and expect Biden to win, but... as 2016 told us, never say never.

Hope, pray if you pray, that Ukraine exhausts Russia. That at the end of this war, Ukraine's government still stands. That Ukraine is still Ukraine and not Russia's backyard.

Because:
-Trump, the one who may as well be "the second son of God" according to right-wing Evangelicals
-Republicans like Lauren Witzke identifying with Putin "because he's the Christian"
-Steve Bannon calling Ukraine a "concept" like how Russia isn't
-Alt-Righters praising "Daddy Putin", the "Czar of the New Russian Empire", etc.
-Freepers saying Putin "isn't woke"

They NEED to be wrong, they HAVE to be wrong.

We need something to shove in their faces, to hand around their necks, to brand them with... And say "No. You don't have the backing of God. No. You aren't superior. And no. You aren't more savvy and smarter than everyone else."

What better way to shoot down their claims than if they backed the wrong horse in this race?
