And if you all don't understand the similarities thats on you. I got dragged into another whatabouts with you all about Trump. Obviously there are differences and the media will be all over what those differences are because what trump "allegedly" did as Hur says, is apparently the difference in what is prosecutable an what isn't.
not prosecuting Biden because he is brain dead is not the same thing as "there is no evidence"
not prosecuting Biden because there is insufficient evidence is not the same thing as "there is no evidence" like one brow wants to believe.
I would like to see more corrupt, incompetent, stupid politicians prosecuted. I would like to see more competent people in Washington instead of splitting hairs and accommodating the terrible, incompetent, brain dead people that are still there. I'm done with the whatabouts.
I’m concerned that we have a brain dead president and what that means going forward for the next few months.
Those are valid concerns. I do not agree that Biden is “brain dead”, but I’m really not as anti-Trump one sided as I’m sure I appear. It’s not the case though, don’t expect many to believe that given my disgust with Trump, but it’s true. Trump would never have appeared in the first place if the fears and anger among a significant % of the electorate were fictional. There are very good reasons behind Trump’s appearance, but he was nonetheless the demagouge that Alexander Hamilton feared might one day appear, it was Donald Trump who understood how to speak to the disaffected members of American society, those who are aligned along the right wing of our current and ongoing culture wars. That the conditions for a populist movement were ripe, and Trump was the man with the skill to lead that movement.
It’s a successful demagouge who has the needed skills. Trump has them in spades.
Unfortunately, when elected in 2016, he really made no effort to speak and assure those who did not vote for him. He never made that effort to speak to, and appeal to, all Americans, not just his MAGA base, and he worsened that appalling stance by slamming as un-American, as “the enemy of America” virtually anyone who disagreed with him in public. He virtually demonized his opposition, and have not his MAGA Republicans embraced the hatred of the “vermin” as he calls people like me(I do assume that, so I can take it personally if I want) Americans one and all nonetheless, despite his reprehensible effort to drive Americans further apart? An effort that has been non stop at rallies and social media.
So where are we? Both sides in the political and cultural war we find ourselves ensconced in believe their opposition represent an existential threat to America, and importantly, it’s the ideal America that each side believe their side supports, the America each side believes we SHOULD BE, each sides idea of what a better America, a “correct” America, an “ideal” America should be moving forward into our nations future. Each side believes its stance on the culture wars IS the IDEAL America, and each side believes it must win, or the other side will destroy America.
What will we be, what does it mean to be an American? This seems to be the thing we are trying to decide. And we’re going about it in a destructive manner, certainly damaging to our body politic.
Result: we really are two different nations right now, with two different visions, largely represented by our respective positions in the culture wars. That is an enormous problem, and I’m as concerned as you, because I simply don’t see a path to being one nation at this time. And this nightmare will continue regardless of who wins the 2024 election.
