Here you forgot some of these: - -

I mean you didn’t say what century…

I’m willing to bet any timeline that is too short for CA would also be too short for Texas.

You think they’ll let that stop them? These folks are the kings of hypocrisy and double standards.

It hasn’t so far, why would it now?

It’s still a wake-up call even if they ignore it. Just like a phone call when your phone is in DND mode.

I think I got side-tracked on the “inside” vs “outside”portion of your statement.

What I’m saying is that “primaries” are not the only tool, and perhaps not the most effective. Not that there’s a lot of precedent.

What I think would happen is the party becomes irrelevant to its constituents and just kind of falls into irrelevance or effectively ceases to exist.

That’s very different from “seizing from within through primaries”, which can effect change but probably not the level of change which is the goal here.

Big difference between falling apart and having something new arise from the remains, compared to the same organization continuing with minor internal changes.

Yeah, how’s the Whig party doing?

America First!

Whether þorn specifically is effective for this, I don’t know. But it’s no harm and in the meantime it’s amusing.

Nah, he’s still dumb even if he’s successful.

OP did say “only the dumbest dictator imaginable”

But how about nobody over 75 is running the country. How about nobody you consider unwell is.

It’s almost like the constitution has a provision for this in the 25th amendment…

With onion posts getting closer to reality and reality getting closer to the onion, it’s hard to tell.

those in power

I think you found the reason.

Isn’t nfs pretty much completely insecure unless you turn on nfs4 with Kerberos? The fact that that is such a pain in the ass is what keeps me from it. It is fine for read-only though.

But it’s gone downhill, it used to be good when it was a serious news show.
