God damnit... I truly hope that history looks back on this period of time as the outrageously ridiculous and overwhelmingly disappointing failure that it is. Fuck, man... God damnit, this is so FUCKING stupid.
History will probably unveil one of the largest psychological operations ever perpetrated by foreign actors in order to dismantle a hegemony and it'll be clear as day. In a couple decades everyone will act at though it was totally obvious that in less than 10 years the 'common sense' rural folk decided to worship someone with used car salesman ethics and elect his entourage of unqualified nincompoops, none of which have enough intuition to start a lawnmower
"Less than 10 years" isn't giving Rupert Murdoch the blame he deserves. Repubs have been working on this for decades.
Meanwhile the rest of us have already known it, and tell them, but they won’t listen.
My concern is that within a couple of decades this country will be converted into a theocratic fascist nation that won't allow history to be taught (at least, not the "unapproved" version). My closest data point in support of this is the current projected electoral vote count: Biden - 224, Trump - 301, tied - 13. How in the hell (gerrymandering, media horseracing, and everything else) is this fraud LEADING?
I hope he's forgotten. He wants to be remembered.
Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. I hope he's remembered, just poorly.
I'm okay with conservatives repeating a past where they con themselves into having to pay out $5 million and having all of their lawyers abandon them over trying to fight that.
Well said - I've said this since he first ran, but his truest instinct is to nuke the entire world a day before he dies to avoid even the chance that people laugh at him when he's dead.
That said, he will die thankfully and I hold out hope that we will collectively raise the money to buy the land he's eventually buried in, raise the body and live it to the middle of nowhere where we to turn it into the only public restroom within 50 miles of the closest mega truck stop - that our money also subsidizes to run a 24 hour all you can eat $2.99 fried fish, stuffed cabbage and chilli buffet.
