In order to stop the radicalized spread of fascism we have to answer this question, and we need to do so quickly.

What is so shitty about life under governments like those found in the other places mentioned that even when most of their basic needs are met as a function of society they are just as unhappy as Americans who have to provide all of that stuff for themselves.

This was four years ago, during the George Floyd protests, and is also missing a large part of the context surrounding the moment.

623 days until midterms!

And it’ll be easier to replace bosses than core workers.

I think that’s exactly what they’re saying.

He didn’t bully Americans into voting for him, he found the crack in society and exploited it—something that requires intelligence. We have tried it your way for 12 years now and have found nothing but loss, it’s time to start treating him like the opponent he actually is.

You can keep your losing mentality!

I get that people don’t want to believe that, but the proof is in the losses he’s handed democrats over and over again.

Absolutely! If he wasn’t intelligent, he wouldn’t be as successful as he has been. Part of what makes him so powerful is that he convinces you that you’re playing checkers with him—he even lets you think you’re winning—while the whole time you’re playing chess and about to lose.

It takes intelligence to get people to support you, even in failure. Not recognizing his intelligence serves no purpose and only sets us back. We have a formidable opponent, we must treat him as such.

Yes! the autocorrect, and my over-reliance on tech got me.

I also fell for the”he’s a lunatic” narrative, it makes the whole thing more palpable, but he’s not crazy, he is evil.

He is making moves at an unprecedented rate, he has four years, a congressional majority, and a fully loaded court. He is speed-running this presidency for a reason!

This chronic underestimation of Trump’s abilities is EXACTLY why we are here. He is evil, calculated, successful, and persistent. Attributing his actions to some form of insanity is nothing but a self soothing tactic the left has relied on far too often.

Yes a danger exists, but Musk only funds right leaning candidates. They have to balance their loyalty to Trump (and musk’s money) with actual voters and the voters are already uneasy with this administration.
