    “are you aware that…right facing arrow”

    yup.

    I’ll make a note of your difficulties though:

    “confused by…quotation marks.”

    “Finds…own quotations…difficult to read…”

    okay, got it.

    “I’m not talking about all possible fantastic timelines”

    you literally said “best-case scenario”

    A few American 80-year-olds dying oh heart attacks is fairly realistic.

    “Trump came out of left field…”

    I can’t tell if you’re trying to paraphrase what I said or…I don’t see the point of this section at all. You’re agreeing with my point that sometimes things that seem inevitable are not inevitable.

    “Illuminate me. Please. Instead of just saying I don’t, explain to me what I don’t understand that makes anything I’ve said not a real, valid concern.”

    Sure.

    A conservative majority is a problem, but does not create the inevitabilities you are worried about. Yes, things will likely get much worse for most people because Trump was elected, but importantly:

    Is everything over and nobody can ever change anything again as you claim?

    No, of course not, because inevitabilities are unfeasible in the real world.

    You’re wallowing in a moment.

    Time to move on.

    “Laws only work if they are enforced.”

    As they worked in extracting about a hundred million from Trump and convicting him 34 times.

    “Can you provide proof to me that he has already paid E. Jean Carroll $100 million?”

    He’s posted bond(paid the money) for those cases specifically(consequences of the legal system).

    Here’s all the other major legal consequences to his ongoing cases. As mentioned, many are cases he is definitively unlikely to succeed in claiming as “presidential duties” as they happened out of office or are state cases not liable to federal oversight.

    https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/06/politics/what-happens-to-trump-criminal-cases/index.html

    He’s spending time and money defending himself and so far, losing those cases. Those are consequences.

    These cases are ongoing. You’re complaining about mights and maybes rather than the consequences he’s already faced that specifically disprove your “no consequences” theory.

    “He pay that $100 mil yet?”

    Yes, he did.

    When you pay bond, you provide the money that is held in escrow until the completion of the appeals process.

    “I’m not sure how much I can help you.”

    No worries, I made that estimate a few comments back.

    “HE WON.”

    He won before. Four years later he lost, his policies were reversed and remarkably progressive legislation was passed.

    “You haven’t proven me wrong on a single thing.”

    a few things I have proved you wrong about:

    1. You believe Trump has faced no consequences. Trump is a convicted felon, legal sex offender, required to show up in court for years and spend his time and money and being sentenced(so far) to two payments to Carroll totaling 91 million bucks.

    So you were wrong about that.

    1. You were wrong about best-case scenarios

    3.wrong about the “king” thing

    1. wrong about the inevitability of Trump since he lost the 2020 election.

    They’re are more, but…yea I did prove you wrong. A bunch.

    “Do you honestly think that all conservative policy and efforts stop when Trump dies?”

    No, this is counterintuitive to everything I’ve been teaching you about how government works.

    I’ll listen to your theory, though.

    “You’re being a contrarian”

    I’m correcting your inaccuracies. You are taking it personally, but these are facts and you have the facts wrong.

    If you were speaking accurately or could back up your defeatist anxieties with facts, you would face fewer corrective statements.

    “…how to properly use this site’s functions”

    Quotations being inside quotation marks is confusing for you. Already noted that one above.

    “I have nothing to learn from you.”

    Enjoy those cave shadows.
