It wasn’t for lack of trying.
For me, it’s like trying to convince a Q person that Trump wasn’t some master of political chess and that he had a secret army arresting politicians left and right, I don’t know if you hear what I’m saying maybe I didn’t explain it right. I just think that if Hitler a man who literally was in jail, could devise a plan after getting out of jail of somehow going from unknown guy who wrote Mein Kampf to having a fanatical army armed to the teeth that I think a billionaire would’ve had an easier time, but that’s just my opinion.
I hear you and I understand you. Remember, tfg wanted to “just start shooting” protesters, redrew a hurricane’s projected path, wanted to nuke the hurricanes iirc, etc. The “adults in the room” did a piss-poor job of whistle-blowing, but my goodness, had they not contained him as much as they did, I’m pretty sure his worst would have looked a lot more dire.
Thank you for an amicable reply that furthers thought. I’m just of the opinion he really wanted to go that way. I’m open to deeper thought experiment, if you want to continue this.
Btw, I am sorry if I came off as dismissive or minimizing of your predecessors’ experience. That’s not my intention and I don’t want to be insensitive. I’m very afraid that if something isn’t done to curb the rightward slide my country is experiencing, we’re going to get there quickly.
Nuking hurricanes is a surprisingly recurrent idea, it's been around since the 50ies, and is probably the most American thing ever.
Personally I think the Bush administration did more harm with its senseless wars, pointless torture and mass surveillance programs.
And the Biden administration 'Ministry of Truth' is downright Orwellian.
Trump was horrible as far as discourse is concerned, but actions wise, US policy has been consistently evil. Only less openly so.
Of course I don't live there, so my view reflects that.
I live here on the Southeastern seaboard, and concur!
We may not agree on everything but i think that ppl need to talk more from both sides and not dismiss the other, ostracizing ppl is wrong, we are all guilty of it, human nature sucks
Criticism isn’t wrong, it can be healthy and productive. How people criticize is another topic. I’m blunt and it comes off the wrong way. I’m sorry for that, I’m thinking it’s because my compatriots and certain neighbors are outright rude and it’s because we’ve so underserved ourselves, academically, financially, and humanitarianly.
