A post on John Scalzi's Whatever blog about that Trump shit.
"What I will say now is this: Hey, Trump supporters, now is a fine time to get off that train. It’s not going to get any better for Trump from here — he’s almost certainly got more indictments coming from Georgia, for starters — and the GOP 2024 field is beginning to fill up with alternatives to a dim-witted grifter whose entire presidential platform to date is “Pardons for me, revenge on everybody else.” Pence! Christie! Scott! Hell, even DeSantis! I like presidential candidates who aren’t indicted!
"So, yes. You should leave him now. I know you won’t — no one who is still on the Trump train at this point in 2023 is there for logical or rational reasons, you’re probably either stuck too far down in the grift to ever admit you’re the chump, or you’re just an awful person who wants to vote for a similarly awful person — but you can’t say I didn’t at least tell you it was an option."
As for Pence, Christie, Scott, DeSantis... well, yeah, sure, I'd prefer those guys over Trump, too, but that's like saying I'd prefer just a shit sandwich over a shit sandwich with a glass of piss.
Also, it looks like Mr. Scalzi apparently hasn't warmed his mallet up yet, because there are some really numbskull Trumpanzee "buhbuhbuh wuddaboutBiden" comments under his post there.
