IDK I mean FDR was elected while in a wheelchair and that was in the 30s. He was of course more broadly likeable, but I wouldn't count him out based on wheelchair alone. Didn't they do just about everything possible to conceal that fact though? Yes he strategically used things to try to conceal it but it wasn't a complete secret either, I don't believe. Either way, I really don't think a wheelchair will inhibit someone like Abbott from gaining widespread appeal.

Yes, please don’t put that in the universe dc2london . The blind adulation this guy carries is enough to melt your mind. I’m scared what would happen with more exposure across the red states… I will say one nice thing—dude ages well. Feel like he’s been governor forever and he looks the exact same. Wonder what skincare routine he uses.. Even if the Maga crowd likes his idea (and as terrible as this is), I think it'd be a real uphill battle for a wheelchair user to be elected president Pun intended, he's garbage I think he can be garbage without resorting to jokes about his disability though.

If anything they would use the wheelchair as "look, he's in a wheelchair and we want him, we're so iNcLuSiVe", don't you snowflakes want eQuAlItY?"

But if that became the case I think they'd be all in and easily push that message.

Garbage cans have wheels 🙃 If I was offensive towards people with disabilities, that is truly not how I meant it and I am sorry if it came across that way

Overall I feel shitty about next year's election. I've got my head in the sand about it.
