You might call Trump a laughingstock, but only if you’re in a position in which he’s unable to harm you. And that doesn’t cover too many people.
There’s nothing funny about Trump if you’re:
• Poor or working class, and vulnerable to rising costs of consumer products and healthcare
• A person of color, an LGBTQ, or a Muslim
• A woman of childbearing years
• An asylum seeker hoping for compassionate treatment that complies with domestic and international law
• A military personnel (of any rank) being humiliated by a commander-in-chief who has utter disrespect for you
• Trying to get a good education in a country with rapidly declining standards
• A patriot who values the Constitution and rule of law
• An American-based business that will sooner or later be eaten alive by tariffs
• A parent who’s finding it difficult to teach his kids about honor, truth, and personal integrity in a country with a president utterly devoid of these
• An erstwhile ally of the United States in Europe
We Americans, and those around the world, deeply wish that Trump were a laughing matter. But that’s very rarely the case.
If he can be deposed and incarcerated, that will be another matter.
There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:
• World fascism. (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)
• Environmental collapse.
• Malicious use of AI.
• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.
• Nuclear war.
Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth? One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.
Obviously, James Carville has been wrong before, but it appears that he’s onto something here.
An ever-increasing number of Americans are realizing that Trump is criminally insane, and is leading this nation to destruction.
It’s a pleasure to see that Dr. Brian Cox has people so popular, having joined the ranks for Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and a few others. This phenomenon of celebrity physicists if one of very few bright spots in our modern world.
I would qualify what he says at left as follows: the only people who hate the economics here are those invested in fossil fuels. Clean energy and transportation are already huge industries, and they’re growing at an amazing pace–even in the face of heavy suppression by Big Oil and Donald Trump.
