“The guy is not a democrat with a small d,” the president told CNN’s Erin Burnett.

President Joe Biden said in an interview Wednesday he is all but certain Donald Trump, his predecessor and presumptive 2024 rival, will reject the results of the November election and called Trump “dangerous” for the nation.

“The guy is not a democrat with a small d,” Biden told CNN’s Erin Burnett during a visit to Wisconsin this week.

“How many court cases do they have, Supreme Court cases? They’ve all said this is a totally legitimate election. … He may not accept the outcome of the election? I promise you he won’t. Which is dangerous.”

The president went on to say other world leaders had expressed to him their fear of a second Trump presidency and pointed to Trump’s pledge to prosecute his political opponents if he enters the Oval Office once more.

    This is the right answer. (Assuming they really are all lazy assholes) if others don’t join the cause because it’s full of lazy assholes, that’s all it’ll ever be.

    I feel like there are way too many people who feel like using the power of their vote is some magical trump card that fully absolves them of getting involved in any actually meaningful way. And accusing them of being lazy is another excuse to not have to get involved.

      Very well said. And I never even noticed the relevance of using “lazy asshole” in my analogy.

      The irony of so many lazy assholes not voting to help a lazy asshole to keep america from falling into the clutches of a tyrannical even lazier tyrant in dragon form.

      It really works on multiple levels.
