In a TV appearance on Monday, Hillary Clinton spoke about the prospect of Donald Trump running again for the presidency in 2024.
“If he wants to be the [Republican] nominee, he will be the nominee,” the former secretary of state told the panel of ABC’s The View.
Ms Clinton spoke about a range of political issues during the discussion, including saying that the US is still “in the midst of a concerted, well-funded, effort to undermine American democracy”.

Guest host Sherri Shepherd asked Ms Clinton what it says about the state
of American democracy that 63 per cent of Republicans or
Republican-leaning independents believe former president Trump should be leading the party.
Ms Clinton said that every Republican considering running for the party’s 2024 nomination knows that Mr Trump’s chances are strong if he decides to
run again.
“What [these politicians] are doing is trying to placate and play up to him,” she said. “Because if he decides not to run, they want to be the second or other alternative choice.”
She continued: “I think it says volumes about the Republican Party today
that someone who has the record of attacking our own government, lying to people about the biggest health crisis that we’ve had in over 100 years,
is considered the leader because they’re all afraid of the mob he has created, and keeps energised.”
Ms Clinton said there are examples of demagogues such as Mr Trump
throughout history.
“They can rise and they can fall, or they can have a sustained position of leadership — and authoritarian leadership to that,” the former first lady said.
“They are calling the shots for people who either truly believe what they’re being told, or who threw their lot in for partisan reasons,
financial reasons, ideological reasons.”
Asked about how close the US came to a full constitutional crisis in the aftermath of the election as Mr Trump continued to sow doubt about his
loss and Joe Biden’s win, and whether the former president was accountable for what happened on 6 January, Ms Clinton was blunt.
“I think we not only came close to a full constitutional crisis, I think we’re still in it,” she said. “And that gives me absolutely no satisfaction in saying this, but I think we’re at a very dangerous
continuing high-level attack on the legitimacy of our government and the election of our president.”
Ms Clinton continued: “Obviously, our former president is not only behind
it, he incited it, he encouraged it, and he continues to do so.”
She also called out leaders of the Republican Party for willingly going
along with Mr Trump “as though they’re members of a cult, not a political party,” and their attacks on the election and their refusal to say that
votes were counted, the election is over, and its time to move on.
Ms Clinton said that that combined with “the disinformation network known
as Facebook” is a volatile mix.
“We are still in the midst of a concerted, well-funded effort to undermine American democracy,” she concluded.
### - she's right! coz 'cult' is actually correct lol, albeit am sure she doesn't quite realise just how deep that actually goes and as such she's
only intuiting the truth here: that society ITSELF is cult-based!
the gop are fighting, however, for their continued existence as a viable political party, and imho this 'fight' is only just beginning now, so we
ain't seen nuthin' yet??
the 'resources' the right-wing have at their disposal (they own every damn thing lol) being almost unlimited we can surely then expect the fight of
the century in 2024, one they absolutely HAVE to win at ALL costs!
(literally at ALL costs!) or they may never get back into office ever
again!
so they're really desperate! and must be silently thanking trumpy every
night in their prayers for delivering them into such a horrible mess!
civil war being just about the ONLY thing now left that can 'guarantee'
them a win!? a damn uncomfortable position!
AND... they just simply ain't gonna make it at all WITHOUT... trumpy! LOL !
(if he doesn't run they defo wont win! simple as that!)
fuck me haha, am gonna start stocking-up on the popcorns & cola starting
today lol...
coz it's defo gonna get 'very dirty' indeed hah, expensively dirty!
besides which the whole planet will be watching + holding its bated breath!
where the world 'goes' after that being just about anyone's business,
people being so generally deluded/insane the 'outcome' is uncertain to say
the least?? it really could go either way!? plus will we even make it TO
2024 before some kinda civil war erupts??? place yer bets!
2024, if we get there heh, thus very likely being a turning-point in human
+ planet-wide history either way too!
this making it all a pretty BIG damn deal!
the odds of it all going totally wrong being only 50/50??
in the meantime though, we gots the BIG long buildup to 2022 and then
2024...
it going to be very interesting indeed to see just what the gop will
manage to pull out of its ass in its 11th hour, they'll very likely go
all-out and all-in!
so it's gonna get exciting and quite scary all at the same time haha...
should be good! maybe even involving a new roller-coaster ride!
whoo-hoo! ;)
