I trust Trump to cheat at golf while everyone around him pretends he isn’t and kids are dying somewhere because of his choices.

If that Fourth Turning thing turns out to be right - and Zeus help us if it does, the boomer generation will be viewed as a Renaissance era

Ahahahahaha

I highly doubt that. It seems younger generations have learned neither the lessons of vaccination nor the lessons of fascism from WWII.

The damage is already locked in, to do a greater amount is impossible, for in the wake of the damage Boomers have witnessed in their lives there will be far less left to destroy.

Prop up the price of oil to keep it from crashing from a glut of suppliers.

Yes but my point is that this is irrelevant because Trump is terrified to do anything but escalate escalate escalate.

Escalation IS the cowardly thing to do, it is existentially exhausting that centrists have amnesia with fascism when it comes to this lesson.

Barely? It should have been a landslide and Biden was able to scrape his way into office as an old white guy DEI hire because of how catastrophically Trump dropped the ball on Covid.

Yes, and so is the controlled opposition.

Sometimes when I think about watching porn I feel guilty and bad about myself and then other times I see somebody rejoice in the righteousness of banning porn and I think “This feels good! This is a good thing!” and I pump my fist in rhythm to the speaker as I masturbate to righteousness and self hatred, ah yes this feels deeper and more spiritual than just physically pleasuring myself! Here is our path forward, here is MY path forward :)

I disagree, no generation will be able to do more damage to the earth than the Boomer generation, this period of time will be remembered and talked about in stories, history and parables for hundreds if not thousands of years. The damage is that acute that is being locked in right now, so no, I think people will be VERY interested in the villains, especially the “quiet” ones from this period, in the same way people are interested in the ways in which the Roman Empire could have avoided collapse to some degree but did not.

Trump is in many ways a boring character, he is easy to diagnose, he telegraphs his intentions with everything he does and projects every internal insecurity he has on to his enemies. There is nothing to discover, nothing creative to Trump’s bigotry and fascism. There are no cliffhangers to the story of Trump, no interesting twists or turns, it is all just a base reduction, a cynical exclusion of all else but a worship of might makes right and narcissism.

People will be far more interested in the ways in which the DNC and Democratic Leadership made the catastrophe of fascism inevitable in their failures to meet the reality of the moment or pass even marginal reforms to improve the quality of life of people in the US.

There is little to learn peering into a figure like Trump, but Biden, Schumer, Jeffries… Nancy Pelosi… those characters are much more historically relevant because they occupied positions that could have ostensibly headed off the descent to fascism in a way that would have been massively popular with the general public, the question of why they didn’t is far more fruitful for historians than why did Trump start another dumb as fuck war.

Is it really gambling if you aren’t chain smoking while doing it?

Good for you, that is irrelevant because empty centrist, corporate politicians like her will never win against MAGA.

No, unfortunately for him and his family, I do not think he will be forgotten at all. People will remember who was in power who could have stopped this, they will burn it into their memories like a brand so they never forget. I know I already have.

Actually not a bad idea especially if they had some kind of backchannel communication with Iran where they made it clear they just wanted the weapons and were not actually going to invade because they knew it would be suicidal given that it is obvious Trump will betray the Kurds again.

How could Iran not see the logic in this?

Flip Flop Flip Flop Flip Flop

A War Not A War A War Not A War A War Not A War A War A War A War A War A War

Gambling? Insider trading? Those are the prime movers of souls to the afterlife.

Chuck Schumer will go down in history as one of the most vehemently hated political figures from this time period in US politics and for good reason.

Fuck prediction markets more!

I mean we could Gaza them!

Fuck this timeline.

It isn’t Trump’s attention span that makes him evil.

Maybe, or maybe their strategy is to drop the bomb so they go down in history as strong men.
