Im afraid Dems won't help themselves to trample Trump and the admin. I really want it for myself too. You know, when lots of people don't feel good about things they like Facists. Hillary was right. American does not want to be told its middle dumb enitled suck and getting lapped by immigrents. Trump lucked into that.
I like universal health care like Medicare. What dumb folk don't get is there would still be suppliments to pay for better coverag and get better care. But the ramp up costs were be really high, and we like guns, ships and missles instead. Society is not able to collectively come together for a common cause. Things are so good its about affordablity. Then don't want to be told to buy insurance. The american spirit of mistrust.
It is the best of times never the less........
Famine, disease, and war destroyed millions over centuries. Yet Americans want more house, big TV's, cell phones, and plain old everything.
To gain power polititions make issues were none exist. LIke the reflecting pool in DC.
My gut says change comes after something really bad. I hope im wrong. History tells us when you build a war machine you need a return on invsetment. We do dumb things at times. Thats what Im afraid of. That and Im politically aligned with Philc.
Your pessimism is entirely warranted.
While I do feel there will be an accounting for (only some of) the crimes committed, I concede this much: No previous allied nation will ever trust our country again, because if Americans were stupid enough to elect Trump a second time after his terrible first term, they are stupid enough to elect something this awful again. It is not like this country's IQ is on the rise, so the downside margin of error will always be a slippery slope waiting for the next election.
He's a rapist, a pedophile, a crook, a murderer, the list goes on, but the problem for this country will be the next time they let the rats take over they might be smarter crooks than this imbecile in the WH. And since the protections against tyranny have been shredded already, it might not take that much next time to cancel elections and be ruled by autocrats.
Americans deserve this. We are an illiterate nation easily duped by swindlers.
When a face eating leopard says I'm going to eat your face and you pretend they won't, then you're an idiot. Our country is full of them. These criminals told us what they were going to do and people still voted for them. I'll bring down the cost of groceries says the clownish fool and people don't stop to ask them how. They just vote for vague promises, not policies.
The average voter has no critical thinking skills. They vote on emotion and hunches. The GOP knew this 50 years ago and wired up the minds of the lemmings to hate the other side with zero thought, just emotion. Hating Biden was popular because of their programming, not because his administration was ruining the country. He was too old to stay in office of course, but he had competent people all around him and that never mattered to the emotionalism of the average Republican.
It matters a whole lot now when our federal government is staffed by thousands of criminal loyalists feeding off the public's miseries, but apparently people didn't figure out from Trump's first term he is surrounded by sycophants and con men determined to dismantle all of the services and protections that we pay for. It never occurred to these numbskulls. They just choose a figurehead as if that's the whole decision to be made.
And how they could choose an illiterate fool like Trump is beyond me. The man is obviously mentally ill in the worst possible way with zero intentions of helping Americans. It is shocking how easy it was for him to grift his way into office. Choosing this person to represent you and protect you is the very definition of insanity.
It is beyond obvious Trump surrounds himself with people who have malicious agendas (i.e. Stephen Miller, Russell Vought) in a tacit quid pro quo arrangement that goes like this:
You can pursue whatever policies you want as long as they don't conflict with me using my position as POTUS to amass billions in illicit gains from foreign nations and diversion of public funds into my pocket. And if those policies can line my pockets too, then gung ho! full steam ahead!
That's it folks!
People didn't figure it out the first time and you voted for him again and gave him a second chance to pillage? Really? It wasn't obvious the first time around? Morons.
My heart breaks for this country and the good people in it, but I give zero fux about the people who voted for this criminal and his cronies. FAFO you dummies. In the meantime, I will hope for some justice to be in the offing. Nothing is certain though, that much is certain.
