    Why do I have vote for the next gen Dem in 2028? Is this post implying Trump will continue running until his death? That the GOP will be unable to shelve his candidacy after another loss–and I have to imagine increasing incoherency?

      They’re pointing out that Trump will invoke the “I am the senate” option if he’s voted in. For context on the rest of the meme, see the Wikipedia entry for the 2016 presidential election.

        The person you are replying to is saying that just because you vote for Biden in 24, doesn’t mean you have to vote for a Democrat in 28.

        I looked over the wiki page and still don’t understand why I have to vote next gen Dem in 2028. I understand Trump’s authoritarian proclivities. Why must I assume the GOP is gonna offer up Trump again? Maybe they will nominate a non-batshit candidate?

      Yeah the maker of the slogan probably didn’t realize it implies choosing between a one party system and a no party system. Messaging isn’t their strong suit.
