As it should, I’m saying the republicans will not get better, they’ve got a roster of worse already in fact.
That the democrats are so convinced that Biden is the only one from their party who can beat trump, is a terrifying, because I don’t know what charismatic demon the republicans are going to run next, but if Biden is the best they’ve got we’re fucked.
The fact that the American system can’t rid itself of a virus as decrepit and criminal as trump is a warning that whoever replaces him will waltz in without hassle…
On the (admittedly dim) bright side, there does seem to be something genuinely unique about Trump. I think at least part of it is that he was in everyone’s living room for years, lording over celebrities on The Apprentice. There’s already quite a bit of hero worship built into the American psyche regarding celebrities, and he pretty well set himself up as a celebeity among celebrities with that show. Combine that with him telling everyone it’s ok to embrace that darkness and hate inside everyone else tells them to be ashamed of, and its a powerful combo. The Republicans have mastered the art of that same hate, but everyone but Trump seems to miss the mark.
The irony of them being so hateful that LGBTQ feel comfortable coming out now while simultaneously loving this feeling of being able to show off the real them would almost be funny if it weren’t so harmful.
America didn’t learn from Raygun’s 8 years of ‘trickle-down’ hilarity. ‘Great communicator’ of what? Old celebrites might be popular, and make useful PR figureheads (after all, they’re experts at play-acting). But (surprise!) usually make crappy leaders out here in the (more real) world.
How would the dems running someone else mean the repubs be suddenly decent?
The idea of a second trump term scares me.
