It does feel like a lot of “leftists” on this website just entirely internalized the Rush Limbaugh they listened to in their parents’ car driving to their suburban schools as Gospel truth
seeing people react to Bill Clinton (again) say "release the Epstein files" with "oh he's falling on his sword" rather than admit that he has literally nothing to hide is... something, that 1990s Clinton insanity virus keeps paying off for the GOP

a neat thing about the mad king fascist regime is that it need not plan to effect outcomes like these. It’s also a major recurring flaw in the democratic party’s response to Trumpism insofar that it presumes a theory of rationality as opposed to bottomless nihilistic contempt and greed.
I honestly can’t see a good reason for this other than the war serving as an excuse to ramp up deportations and clamp down on dissent, since America will be at war and we’ll have plenty of “alien enemies” within our borders
Seems like Trump and his groupies think starting a regime change war of conquest out of nowhere is a political masterstroke that will get them back on the front foot, but I don’t think that’s how it will play out.

In a way this is historical, you can get a feel for what it was like to be in court during the last years of a king slowly going mad from mercury poisoning or syphilis - I imagine those people frequently got invited to an airing of the grievances
