An old friend replied when I asked her ca. 2017 about her perception of Trump, “It’s hard to know where to begin.”
During Trump’s first term, however, his actions were far more benign than they are now. For example, no one could have predicted that he would try to overthrow the U.S. government following his loss in 2020, and then, in his second term, worked tirelessly to install himself as a lifelong autocrat along the lines of Putin, Xi, or Kim Jong-un.
Putting Kash Patel into place, so as to incarcerate Trump’s opponents or otherwise cut them off at the knees, might just get the job done.
Remarkably, there are still Americans who buy into the concept promoted at left. Most people have figured out that:
The greed of corporations and billionaires has usurped our lawmaking processes and made it extremely difficult for the working class to live any decent kind of life.
Rule of law is a joke in the United States.
The final days of free market capitalism are upon us, leaving the common American more depressed and desperate than in any past age.
As the United States continues its slide into corporatocracy and oligarchy, the concept of universal healthcare becomes ever more unlikely.
As the midterms approach, we need to brace ourselves for the onslaught of messaging from the GOP to the effect that Trump is the only force separating America from communism. This, believe it or not, is a concept warmly embraced by tens of millions of hateful idiots.
The rest of the developed world deems healthcare to be a human right, like potable water. We counter: Bull****. Corporate profitability is the supreme right here.
Yes, the MAGA crowd has a huge appetite for the type of rhetoric we see at left, but their numbers are slowing shrinking.
That said, it’s still amazing that the U.S. is home to tens of millions of idiots who believe that liberals hate our country and are trying to destroy it.
