I have heard of people who couldn't figure out the difference between him and Charlie Kirk when Kirk was killed, and honestly they are both the same level of low quality poorly compelling blather that they are generally indistinguishable.

Evangelicals consider Sodom and Gomorrah to have been obliterated because of homosexuality.
The crime of Sodom and Gomorrah were townpeople immediately wanting to SA strangers in their midst.
That's a story about the lasting harm of power dynamics and control.

Christ said the greatest commandment was to love thy neighbor as thyself. To want the best for someone, and in doing so, bettering youself in the experience.

I feel the unilateral disarmament from people on the left forced to drop out for words said decades ago is deeply damaging and fails to show the maturity of someone's views and perspectives.
We play into the extremist right's ability to fire people at will, a favor they will never *ever* return.

It makes sense when you fit it into aspirations like the Seven Mountains Mandate, where you create parallel structures to the secular world so adherents go cradle to grave without interacting with someone from a different background.
Because God forbid they put themselves in someone else's shoes.

The amount of media attention this place got was maddening.
The basic assumption that people seek higher education to obtain ideology rather than a diploma was inherently flawed but also catnip to way too many news desks.

It will never stop being jarring that small c-conservative ethics are so seemingly radical in 2025.

This has entirely been stalling on the part of the admin to keep Europe from coordinating stronger support for Ukraine.
The US has been hand in glove with Putin, allowing him to dictate the terms of the peace negotiations, with no major conciliations on Russia's part for starting the war.

The thing that is obvious for all of us to see is the things they remark on as 'greatness' are vapid, shallow, and truly miserable.
Greatness is a cultural aspiration, and for them, unreachable because the things they're frantically chasing after don't inspire any lasting fulfillment.

In fairness, every day leading into the election was a steady drumbeat of news stories of how Trump would solve inflation on Day One and how Kamala was too focused on sex reassignments for prisoners instead.

The thing that kept his first term from being a complete disaster were the competent people who knew how to keep the lights on.
He ushered those people out, by raging at them for his own sheer inability to lead and being an insecure bully.

This whole "reverse empire" narrative hinges on ignoring the same party now vowing to end the scourge of blood and treasure being poured needlessly was the same one that made those decisions, supposedly under the pretext of 'national security.'

If by that you mean, "lies that are certainly outside the realm of belief," yeah, that is a concise way of framing it.

Constant deprivation is treated as a fact of life. The legal system is widely treated as a joke. The “I know a guy” economy flourishes. People ask me how they can win the favor of elected officials or gov’t employees, working around a system said to be sacrosanct but understood to be crumbling.

Same problem in both situations, rich financiers gutting the equity and leaving nothing behind but vacant lots and misery in their wake.

Any sort of tool is a mental trade off. You're offloading some of your own acuity to have a device do the workload for you.
While there's many situations where this is necessary, people who overuse these features wind up with a level of atrophy because they aren't challenging those faculties.
