In reply to the discussion: Trump just described a scenario in which Joe is "shot" [View all]EndlessWire
(8,103 posts)"Even if people voted for him, he wouldn't do any harm if the rich assholes who buy republican senators by the dozen didn't enable him, if the foreign tycoons that run faux news actually had any morals or guiding principles other than get rich."
This is a ludicrous statement. "He wouldn't do any harm if..." Do you think that the office of the Presidency is dependent on the okay of rich assholes? Well, of course YOU do, but in and of itself, it carries enough power for him to start a nuclear war, without any permission needed from anyone.
You started off by saying that Trump is not the problem. He IS the problem. We have a country that had the pus start oozing out of the woodwork; granted, we have much to fix in terms of attitudes toward those marginalized citizens. But, getting rid of Trump is paramount to fixing anything else that needs fixing.
If he wins, you can kiss the country goodbye. Life as we know it, or knew it, is OVER. Then, you can say, well, I hate those that voted for him (we will never know the truth of that,) but I guarantee that most everyone, except for you, will see the problem as being a narcissistic dictator wannabe who LED these people toward their doom. They are too stupid to visualize life under a dictator. They are too stupid to realize that he threw them under the covid bus. They are looking for a daddy, and it doesn't matter to them whether he is lying to them as long as they hear what they want to hear, and not the truth.
Trump is NOT too stupid to go after what he wants. He is evil and vicious, but he is doing everything he can to pursue his dream of a ruling family. It is a mistake to underestimate him and his.
You and I will never see eye to eye. I see Trump and the GOP PARTY as the enemy; you see your stupid, needy neighbor as the enemy. So be it. As ever, humans keep making the same mistakes over and over and over again.
One mistake made was electing Trump as pRes, although he had foreign help and help from rich bastards with evil intent. We will fix this mistake on Tuesday.
