Trump being dumb as shit and crashing the plane into the mountain for no reason is the thing that saves us from fascism. Just an incredible time to be alive

Kind of funny that the normie lib types simultaneously love passive investing and believe steadily buying index funds is always optimal and also that Trump will crash the economy. Have you heard the good news about SPY puts brother?

We won't have real elections and autocrats resist popular opinion all the time as many in the replies are pointing out. That's a big part of the point of becoming an autocrat. That said, the economy crashing into hell is our best bet outside of him just dying
And before you idiots say "blah blah we won't have real elections," get fucked. One hallmark of competitive authoritarian regimes is their guys start popular and stay popular. Imagine if Modi, Duterte, Bukele, Orban, or any of the rest had been underwater on the *economy* in under 100 days.

This admin deliberately crashing the economy and attacking the third rail so aggressively is inauspicious for free and fair midterms. They are doing this with full awareness it will be hugely unpopular because they don't expect they'll ever have to face the voters again

our universe being derivative rather than fundamental implies our suffering and joys are designed experiences serving unknown purposes and completely changes our understanding of things like death, consciousness, and meaning. But yes on a practical level you will still have to do the dishes
I honestly don’t get the appeal of “what if this is just a simulation that’s a 1:1 replica of reality on a subatomic level?” as a school of thought.
The answer is “then it’s functionally reality.”

It is, of course, perfectly sustainable. We did this once for 4 years and we're going to do it again for another 4 years assuming he doesn't croak in office. It will just be really bad and cause a lot of suffering and destruction
Trump has no clue what he’s saying at any moment and is literally and constantly just responding to anything that happens with what he’s feeling at the moment — and yet this is what we, and the world, have to deal with right now. This is really not sustainable.

Fun fact: a supervolcano is a very large volcano
Fun fact: "Supervolcano" isn't a real term. There are supervolcanic eruptions, but there is no specific geologic structure called a "supervolcano". Sometimes a volcano's really big and may or may not have supervolcanic eruptions. Some volcanoes have history of supervolcanic eruptions but are small.

My hot take is voters don't give a shit about any of this and shaking canes or sitting there passively will change nothing
Dems need to keep fighting, but not by shaking canes. The visual is awful
They need to win back young people, it’s going to take a change in HOW and WHAT you message.
