But that's what makes trump a perfect villain

He's ugly, but his supporters somehow see him as handsome. He's senile, but somehow is selling a message to many people. He said he wanted to deport mamdani, but mamdani exited a meeting with him with a smile on his face. It's unreal

I read once that trump wanted to go to film school but was pressured by his family to go to business school instead.

Which explains so much of what kind of person and president he has been

But also, shows the very real pipeline of failed artist to fascist (Hitler, Ben Shapiro, trump, Scott baio)

And it's also the reason the GOP couldn't dethrone him. Vance, Rubio, cruz, etc don't have the sauce to make proto fascism palatable. We need to look at how trump succeeds, in spite of all his terribleness, in order to identify and defeat the next trump before he gets power

Idk. If trump, with his views/background/scandals/off the cuff speaking, etc were anyone else, he would have flopped hard. But he didn't.

We cannot defeat trump without first acknowledging that there is a reason he is still here

I think the key here is *was*, not *is*

Oh for sure, this is not meant to be complimentary towards trump

Conman, politician, gangster, war criminal...these words are synonyms

I've never felt like one of the guys, related to the guys I'd be one of, and trying to ignore those things makes me me feel anxious and sad.

But watching ken burns revolutionary war hungover on the couch? I'm my grandpa. I'm every boomer suburbanite man. I get it. Briefly

Debatable

this is bs and you know it

any serious local politician isnt going to run against a popular incumbent. Garcia waited until the last moment to ensure that none of them tried.

illegal? no. Unethical? you betcha

ive always liked the fan theory of james bond being a codename for whoever is 007. it doesnt play perfectly with the films but there are enough differences between all the bonds nobody thinks theyre the same person

This is a cope. If the Dems end the shutdown without ACA extensions, we will look like rubes who wasted time and energy on nothing

We can keep it shutdown until trump bleeds

Presumably that's be covered under the no pac money

How many of them were in 3 way races with another Dem in the race

I voted harris
