"It's easier to fool a man than to convince him he'd been fooled." - Mark Twain
Tom Sawyer is a work of satire. It was written to shed light on how gullible and stupid Southern whites ~~were~~ are.
And how every adult in the story is a huge hypocrite.
Really makes me think of all the proud, racist christian women I know who gave birth out of wedlock and are now single-mothers.

And so is every single person in this country that voted for Trump. Traitors.
The sad part is the majority of his voters lose power and their country. The wage gap will only grow. Unless you were already rich, or had an income of a few million dollars a year, you only made life harder for yourself. But hey, at least those other people have it harder as well!
The thing is that it doesn't matter how bad Trump makes it for maga voters so long as he makes it worse for those labeled as undesirable have it worse. As long as maga voters can look to someone else and power trip over them they'll give Trump carte blanche. As long as those 'perverted trans pedophiles' can be assaulted without the fear of being arrested they're happy.

This is what being a leader looks like.
It would be a shame if a shit end to this war buries Zelensky in history. He’s not perfect, but he deserves some monuments.
Trump suggested that the Ukrainian president was responsible for starting the war. In reality, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, initiating the current land war.
I’d like it if more summaries of what conservatives say/believe were followed by sentences which began with “In reality…”
They should go even harder, and explain that Trump is apparently openly lying.
Trump lied, suggesting that the Ukrainian president was responsible for starting the war. In reality, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, initiating the current land war.
Trump lied that the Ukrainian president was responsible for starting the war. In reality, etc.
The only issue is that conservatives don't read so they'll never see it anyway.

The actions of a man who loves his country and not power? Politicians in the US (on both sides) could never comprehend this.
Would his resignation prevent future attempts at running for president?
surely they'd preclude him getting voted back in...
He literally cannot resign right now. What he is talking about. There's isn't even legal framework for it. I'm sure they'd find a way of they had to. But as it stands right now.
No one can remove him from office under Martial Law.
He is bound by oath and constitution to serve his country as head of state and may not delegate those responsibilities.
Elections are prohibited under Martial Law.

Honestly he’s gotta be pretty fucking tired by now. I’d want to retire after leading a country through war for 3 years.
Going from comedian to wartime leader is quite a jump.
Well, he also went from lawyer to comedian. Kind of makes the jump seem much lower.
Boss.
An infinitely better leader than the shitstain America has "leading" them.
Trump saying he started the war is ludicrous but somehow the right will do the mental backflips required to believe this shit. Somehow it's zelenskys fault even though putin invaded.
They do it to rape victims so why not entire countries?
If Russia gets Ukraine, it'll be 2-3 years of peace while Russia rebuilds and regroups it's forces before it's onto invading the next country. Probably Poland, Belarus, or Georgia. And he'll keep doing it again and again - waging war with the west until they win or the public decides that saving a few pennies on their taxes is more important than preventing totalitarianism from subsuming Europe again.
Belarus is mostly Russia anyway.
The usual approach is to fuck with the democratic system of a country, install a sympathetic puppet and then keep them there.
This is probably why Putin has such a beef with Ukraine. They spent a lot of money getting their puppet in there, before he was ousted.

lol now, US president Krasnov Trump can't say President Zelensky is a dictator.
What a tyrannical dictator; shameful!
/S
Who the fuck would actually want his job? Besides some Russian cunt?
It's a hypothetical scenario anyways because Ukraine being a NATO member would mean NATO boots on ground in Ukraine, which the US (and in fairness a lot of other NATO countries, but for different reasons) want to avoid. But it calls the bluff on the unfounded dictator accusations that Russia and some puppets peddle.

Literally the opposite of what Trump does - gives up everything in order to retain power.
