Anyone, and I truly mean anyone, who couldn’t see that he is completely driven by selfish reasons (ego/wealth/power) has Fetterman level brain damage.
At this point, I can’t even communicate with people that support trump. They are incapable of measured, honest, logical thought. We now have a full-blown cult that has grown to a frightening scale. c’est la vie USA.
I have a coworker who I respect greatly because she is a nice person and she does great work. I have no reason not to like her and treat her as one of my best coworkers. We work in IT management for a large organization. She is educated, smart, coherent, and like I said, she is one of the best that I get to work with. I’m thankful for her.
But man is she brainwashed by Fox. We once got into a conversation on politics in 2024 and it became clear to me that she was voting for Trump. She thought Kamala couldn’t string a sentence together and that things had been better under Trump. We respectfully disagreed.
Politics came up again a couple of days ago. She offered that she was pissed that gas prices were so high. She offered that she felt betrayed, etc. I felt like it was progress in her opening up to the idea that Trump is a turd UNTIL she kept on with the What-About-ism with Kamala and then how both sides claim the other side cheated in elections, etc, yada yada. She has a Fox talking point for everything. So we drop it. Life goes on.
Trump’s supporters will give up a little in admitting that Trump is wrong in the Iran war because life has been made even more inconvenient and Trump has broken his campaign promises now time and time again, but it’s still a step too far for them to acknowledge that they couldn’t see this coming or that he really does smell like a turd despite it being so fucking obvious. I can agree that Kamala was going to be an another democratic establishment president, but at least she wouldn’t be terrorizing us all every day.
Our president is an evil dim-witted asshole.
He was elected by well-intentioned but equally dim-witted assholes.
Maybe this is a hot take but I think harris (or Biden) also would have ended up attacking Iran. I’ve seen no evidence that either one of them was willing to say “no” to Israel. Things would look different in a lot of ways but not this particular one.
I screamed and pounded the keyboard back in 2020 at family. Those same family didn’t listen, posted their alternative facts, and voted for him again in 2024. I was a pile of raw nerves back then. Now I am numb. heartbroken and numb. Maybe this was how Cassandra felt when Apollo cursed her.
Where are you going? If it’s online, remember the people that run the major platforms have a vested interest in reducing your opinion of other human beings.
Plenty of videos of English white nationalists being shitheads. The rise of the AfD party. Italy has a rising fascism problem and Meloni. Hungary with Orbán. I’m sure there are more examples. Face it, the western world is having an identity crisis.
Those people 100% exist and they are not an insignificant minority. All I’m saying is that platforms like YouTube, X, Facebook, etc are amplifying those voices. They have an outsized voice in online communication.

this was clear from back in 2016
millions of people knowingly voted for him.
millions of people didn’t vote cause of gaza (or cause both parties are the same)
his own VP called him a Nazi
now all these people will vote him out cause gas prices are high
i still won’t be able to talk to them
God i wish i had the hope you have.
you might be right. it’s known that Republicans increase unemployment and the national debt. but millions vote for them anyway.

No, they are definitely not well-intentioned. They are as equally evil dim-witted assholes as he are.

I completely lost my faith in humanity in 2016, don’t see any chance to regain it.
let’s not equate USA with Humanity.
I’m not. But everywhere I go i see less and less “Humanity”.

Oh for sure. I think if the Internet didn’t exist their voices would be much smaller.
Mainly western Europe. Most people consider their comfort way more important than other people’s survival.
