  • Something that comes out after guys like Trump have been in power is the voter regret. When asked why they voted for him they usually say the same 2 things: Either he was the only one talking about stuff the voter cared about, or they figured he would “shake things up” and/or change things. Note in that last part, the voter doesn’t really care what’s going to change or how it will happen, they’re just sick of the status quo.

    All of this is to say that yes people are stupid, but that also holds true the politicians who’ve been pedaling the status quo, or minimal change, for generations and ignoring the growing anger of people who’ll eventually vote for craziness in the name of “change.”














  • I’d be willing to bet money that heir leader doesn’t understand that nuance at all. More to the point, if anyone tries to explain it to him, he will keep saying, “but that’s not what he said, he said…”

    He was only half-wrong about “playing with WWIII.” Ukraine is just defending its land, Russia & now Trump are playing with WWIII. And one half of that equation can’t comprehend the nuance and subtext of what the other half says and does - and the other half 100% knows this. Unfortunately, I think Ukraine will ultimately pay the price for all this. Trump isn’t interested in a fair deal, he wants a deal at any cost so he can look good and scream about how he deserves a Nobel.
