    I don’t know who is stupider…Trump or the voters who elected him?

    I hope the US just rots and falls apart in 4 years.

      The voters for sure. I’ve engaged with so many obnoxious, irrational, hyper-aggressive people lately who are so high on their own farts and delusion that they’re beyond getting through to. One guy even offered to “fly me out today” to fight him over the subject. Right-wing propoganda has them angry at their own shadow.

      I know advocating for violence is frowned upon, but maybe fucking these people up is the only way to get through to them. Seems to be the only language they speak by the end of any argument.

        Lmao. Should have asked him to send you the money to book. I’m sure he can afford it with all of the money he’s saving because of tariffs and DOGE cuts.

        Keep repeating to yourself: they have an “external locus of identity”. This is why they are angry, because an attack on Trump is an attack at their personal identities.

      No you don’t.

      If the government of the USA falls apart there is still a giant military infrastructure in place.

      If you think that they’ll just shut down all those aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines you are terribly mistaken.

        People seem to keep missing that. The only country that has ever used nuclear weapons in war is falling apart. You aren’t safe if you’re in another country. You aren’t safe if you’re on this planet.

          Exactly. Politics is messy and there aren’t ever going to be perfect options.

          Figuring out the least terrible choice is how we progress.

      Why not in 6 months? The level of under-education of americans is a threat to the survival of the specie.
