They’re geared up for the authoritarian state. Corporate rule. Gutted EPA, FDA, etc. No privacy. Moderated online content. Increase the “domestic supply of infants” (read: work and military forces) by making women more brood mare like (see: Roes fall). And now a president is more like a king and can do anything. All of it points in one general direction.
Because reading any news headlines is like drinking from a firehose of liquid shit.
Reading climate change news is like drinking from a firehose of liquid misery and hopelessness.
High odds people skip all that to go play games or read a book. Or even to go outside and enjoy it while it lasts.
Edit: Not endorsing it as cool, just stating basic human behavior.
That’s not scary as fuck.
Theres a strangely loyal following around the man. But let’s say he has an aneurysm and drops dead after taking office on these terms. Now what structure is the next unknown candidate moving into? Who is moving into it? It could be Bernie Sanders 2.0, which sort of defeats the purpose assuming this is all about Trump himself, that all of this is even happening simply because Trump is involved.
It’s like everyone is forgetting how fucking old Trump is. He’s old, fraying at the edges like he has Dementia (in and of itself, not in a degrees comparison to anyone else), and doesn’t appear healthy. I say this as someone who has spent decades in health care.
So they want to rebuild this infrastructure for him while dismantling base functioning of the country. The man isn’t immortal and he sure as fuck isn’t healthy. And no VP he chooses will ever have the chops to be anything, especially President, because it’s too much competition for his base hubris.
So they pave the way for dictator. The chosen dictator dies of old age and bad health. Now what?
What’s the punchline? Who is this for? It’s bizarre to think there really is no long game here, that it’s happening in the name of that one guy, but that appears to be what this is functioning on. It really is all falling apart, isn’t it?
They’re both too fucking old. So if it helps you think about it, you may be voting for Kamala, not Biden, given his mental presence in the present.
This lackluster shit helps no one. But Trump would be disastrous beyond the 2016-2020 thing. He won’t leave this time. And he’s not the guy to deal with this Russia China alliance.
If ever there was an endorsement for mail in ballots, like some states have, this is it. You register to vote at the DMV. And your ballot shows up in the mail. No effort/extra time needed, large turnout.
Maybe so, but that doesn’t mean stay home on voting. Russia and China are allied, which is why Russia hasn’t failed in Ukraine yet. Iran is launching drones at Israel. (Neither are being great, but, a more active Iran isn’t a good thing.)
Do we want Trump or Kamala dealing with this crap?
Trump is just the side show to this. He’ll be playing golf and making terrible speeches while this architecture goes up around him. It’ll be SCOTUS 2.0 on a larger, more inclusive scale.
Instead of the meandering disorganized crap of 2016-2020, with most executive office jobs left unfilled, it’ll be project 2025.
The choice here rests with the under 40 crowd. Vote for or against it.
