Yeah bro, Let me go back and hit you with all the likes
One silver lining of a trump win is that if kamala were to win then she would be the auto nominee next go around (as the incumbent) and that is no bueno.
Plus I think this Trump term would dispel any illusions people still have about Trump being some great deal maker, international peace maker, freedom lover, and economist.
I agree as far as war stuff but I think the economy is going to be better regardless and he will take/get all the credit for the hard work the prior administration has done to recover post pandemic/supply chain issues etc. And the economy seems to be the only thing that anyone truly cares about anymore. If the economy is good then there could be wars going on all over the place and people wouldn't really care as long as it wasn't affecting us. Same with climate issues, culture war "woke" stuff etc. Thats the impression I get anyway. People have super fond memories of the **** show that was trumps presidency simply because stuff was cheap.

surely it's better that each person still choose who is more closely aligned to their ideals ?
All he needs to continue being is a demagogue. That will keep him in a position of power over the cult. And they will believe anything he tells them. Won't matter what his actual results are. Just matters that he keeps his base riled up and gives them a target for their hate and continues pushing the big lies. Why should he stop doing what obviously works?
I’m pretty sure our service members were happy they’d be getting out of Afghanistan and I’m pretty sure many minorities and 30,000 inmates total so far are happy to be getting out of jail due to the step act. I’m also pretty sure 7 million people were happy about having new jobs. I’m pretty sure most people felt more secure when they had strategic oil reserves and energy independence. I’m pretty sure people also felt more secure when they didn’t have record illegal immigration numbers flowing into the country. I’m pretty sure people felt more secure without the constant threat of nuclear war! The list is pretty long, I could go on… it wasn’t just the economy, but that has certainly hit everyone pretty hard since Trump left office.I agree as far as war stuff but I think the economy is going to be better regardless and he will take/get all the credit for the hard work the prior administration has done to recover post pandemic/supply chain issues etc. And the economy seems to be the only thing that anyone truly cares about anymore.

If the choice for US president was between Putin and Harris I'm pretty sure trumpers would choose Putin.
Ah, bull****….I’ve raised the subject of education in America, including in higher education, many times here. It isn’t just about pornography. And it isn’t just secondary education.

Why would the movement move further left when moving left hasn’t worked? Especially since they need to win over rural old whites to win in the EC? If she loses, you’ll see the Democratic Party shift right. It’ll become the new Conservative Party as the GOP rushes off into reactionary authoritarian land.
Good postAh, bull****….I’ve raised the subject of education in America, including in higher education, many times here. It isn’t just about pornography. And it isn’t just secondary education.
And, BTW, one of the top ten enemies of “critical thinking skills”, in the public arena, is Ron DeSantis. And of course Trump, who invented an entire fictional history of the past several years, is the greatest enemy of critical thinking skills in the entire nation!! Does critical thinking leads us to accept Trump’s version of American history?? Is the United States “a garbage can”?
Hell, the entire MAGA movement is replete with Americans exhibiting the Dunning-Kruger Effect, the exact opposite of using the discriminating component of one’s mind. The exact opposite of critical thinking!!
News flash: critical thinking skills is conspicuously absent in MAGA.
MAGA all but worships a man who is creating a phony history, in order to serve as a rationalization for his power grab. Not accusing you, btw, you’re both rational and honest in your opinions, but in this instance, I can’t just sit here while someone defends MAGA for critical thinking, and accuses opponents of Trump of somehow lacking discrimination of thought…..
“Why Do They Hate Us So Much?”
In the 86-page report, “‘Why Do They Hate Us So Much?’: Discriminatory Censorship Laws Harm Education in Florida,” the groups say that Florida leaders are reshaping elementary, middle, and high school classroom content through new laws and policies that censor, distort, and discriminate.

The Important Legal Fight Happening Over Florida’s Draconian Classroom Censorship Law
In classrooms and educational spaces across our country, a coordinated attack on our students’ right to learn is underway. Perhaps nowhere are those attacks more pronounced than in Florida.
Florida’s Educational Reform: Freedom or Repression?
Until last year, no American politician has had the guts to tackle the plague of wokery in our schools. This has changed—in Florida, of all places, home of Key West, South Beach, and Fort Lauderdale!

Ron DeSantis’s war on “woke” in Florida schools, explained
From book bans to a hostile campus takeover, here’s a rundown of DeSantis’s conservative plan for Florida education.
Fwiw if I had to choose between trump or putin, I would choose trump without hesitation.
The more I think about it, the more obvious it seems that Ron DeSantis may be, in the political/public arena, the greatest enemy of “freedom of thought” in the United States today. The greatest enemy of “academic freedom” in the United States today. Not my model for critical thinking skills. The man declared war on critical thinking skills.
