It’s going to lead to a QAnon-Proud Boys-Trumpist-Domestic Terrorist political party, looking to install Generalissimo Trump for life. 

Once fully removed from the GOP they won’t even have to pretend to acknowledge democratic norms, actual constitutional law, etc etc. 

The GOP deserves to crumble but the Trumpist faction without the GOP infrastructure will be completely, unambiguously fascist. There’s going to be a huge struggle ahead.

not sure what it's going to lead to, but their hope is to form a new party that's unapologetic in their radical right wing ideals. like trump, their supports cannot accept a reality where they don't get their way because doing so would be admitting there is something wrong with everything they have ever believed. as someone in the fox news comments put it:

oh poor milo. lols.

“BURN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO THE F**KING GROUND,” he wrote. “Trump’s SCOTUS appointments were pointless. We defended a selfish clown for nothing.”

He continued, “I lost everything helping to put Trump in office. My life and career were completely destroyed. Was it worth it? No. I feel utterly betrayed. I will have vengeance.”

nothing makes big T sadder than calling people out- especially when those people are RINOs that have sold out to the CCP

short answer: marketability. vanilla candidate has broad appeal. safe. experienced. tracks well in various voting groups.

hard to sell someone new to the public and get them to oust trump.. or at least that was one line of thinking. but biden won everywhere in the primaries. the south cemented his road to victory in the primaries. 

 

He’s a transitional POTUS

Hopefully, they’ll protest themselves right out of control of the Senate.

Is there a reason why the democrats elected such a weak candidate to run for president in the first place? No one younger and more charismatic available ? 

Lots of different forces at work that led to Biden. You could write a book on it.

you mean socialism? hell no. 

any republican that votes is a traitor to their party. get the word out!

lol, Trump’s Twitter password was MAGA2020!

https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-twitter-hack-police-accept-164623401.html

His previous password was "yourefired" lol.

His passwords seem to be thoughts that are constantly knocking around his empty dome, making them easy to remember.  After the most recent hack I'm guessing he changed it to "IvAnKaIsHot".  Who wants to try it out?

i think the current password is

iWON2020!!!

if twitter had been around in the early 00s would trump have been posting 9/11 truther conspiracies? i'm picturing him being like the coffeedad of 9/11, alternating between lengthy inquiries about jet fuel & the melting point of steel, followed by two weeks of posts where he's just like "I'm thinkin' bout them beams"

The magnitude of this ongoing attack is hard to overstate.

The Russians have had access to a considerable number of important and sensitive networks for six to nine months. The Russian S.V.R. will surely have used its access to further exploit and gain administrative control over the networks it considered priority targets. For those targets, the hackers will have long ago moved past their entry point, covered their tracks and gained what experts call “persistent access,” meaning the ability to infiltrate and control networks in a way that is hard to detect or remove.

whats ironic is that the only way to avoid widespread computer attacks like this is to only use free and open source software and hardware, but this means liberating the tech industry from capitalism entirely and putting it into the realm of socialism, so it will never happen.  capitalism fundamentally holds back technology and disadvantages any nation fettered by it in its late stages where even imperialism's expansion potentials begin to get restricted

If the masses all used Stallman OS, there would be many many infected stallman OS machines. Would it be as bad as windows? Probably not, but how many users would want to run in sudo because it’s convenient. How many would bother auditing source code? How many would install buggy packages? 
 

You want to blame it on anything, I’d take a look at the majority owners of SolarWinds (one of the companies in the article) selling off $286M worth of stock before the hack was announced. Greed, which exists outside of any political ideology or economic model, is likely the culprit. 

i'm sure many of the compromised systems were built on largely OS stacks. that hot take is quite reductionist. and the sprinkling of capitalism reference is just lol. and it happens to be a talking point of putin's authoritarian propaganda squad.

open source software gets compromised all the time.

obviously the fault of capitalism. if we all lived in some sort of ultra-leftist, anti-capitalist, free-for-all, utopian fantasy land, then no one would be hacking anyone, as there would be no financial means to do so or gains from it. plus, we would probably be too busy foraging for food all day to give a shit about computers.
