Because of my time and place, because it seemed under control and very much business as usual, a system that I was born into and that would continue as is when I was gone. It was white noise, far from perfect, far from awful (for some that isn't true of course talking from my pov and bubble).

I have never been nostalgic because my life has generally trended up as the years went by. But now, videos from before 2016 hit hard.

One of Trump's strengths is he can take every position on every subject so no matter what he's right and no one in the media will ever call him on it.

They do freeze my blood I confess as does anything that moves fascism forward. What I take comfort in is that Trump only wins when his creature judges and the like put massive thumbs on scales, anything fair Trump mostly fails. Democracy is where he does his worst and does not win.

I remember in 2015 seeing polls that had Clinton upfront consistently and so when people said they were staying home I shrugged, seemed in the bag. Polls that have Biden with a chance if enough come out to vote may not be a bad thing.

Now it seems it's a hoax, which has mixed my feelings. Then I realize it doesn't matter who Trump picks, they'll be awful because he is as is everything he does.

I am not expert in such things but a contrast on the ticket is usually the way to go? Flynn is just more Trump so if this is real it's a pretty stupid choice. Which is a Trump thing, so who knows!

This is a thought that sustains me, what my parents and grandparents went through was as bad as life can get. They plowed through those horrors and planted me in a pretty sweet spot so on that alone I have to keep going.

Ah, the Dr Frankensteins who helped build the monster have showed up behind the villagers with advice. They want fascism but just not the clumsy obvious deranged Trump attempts Mike Johnson would suit them I think. If Biden wins and he takes over the GOP I wouldn't be surprise at the pivot.

Either the Democrats will run Biden, or he'll say he can't continue the campaign and Democrats will run Harris. Either is newsworthy, but neither is nearly as radical as running a pro-insurrection convicted felon with legal immunity he's eager to use.

Dems: Joe Biden, who is currently governing quite well but is also old, should drop out. GOP: Trump, who is a convicted felon and led a coup, is our nominee and we will eviscerate anyone in the party who disagrees Media: The bigger story here is age.

Also their candidate is a convicted fraud and rapist who tried to murder congress and his own vp with a lynch mob and they're cool with that. Being old isn't as bad, people should talk more about that.

I see. Okay so then all parties would concentrate on population centers, big cities, rural areas would have no political value at all, they would be ignored not only during elections but before and after because who cares what they say? What do you think would happen to those areas?

Democrats can take Joe Biden's old organs and replace them with cybernetics! Democrats can get a bunch of hot air balloons and rule America from the skies where SOCTUS has no power! Democrats can revive the lost art of alchemy and turn all the lead pipes in America into solid gold!

To get rid of the EC they would need a great deal more Democrats in power in all the branches of the government and a plan to replace it with something that balances population centers. It's not quite as simple as it sounds. Again I refer you to MAGA losing more than winning since 2016.

Last time the incumbent was Trump, Trump lost. Trump won in 2016 because the EC went his way, he lost the popular vote then, he lost the popular vote by more, candidates he's endorsed have lost more than won as has MAGA overall.

What gives me hope are the normal people trying to save things. People running for school board against moms for liberty freaks, college kids protesting, local newsrooms investigating corruption etc. They inspire but also make me pissed off at the powerful people/institutions that won’t defend them

Fascists don't care if you love them or even agree, they just don't want you to love your neighbors more or to fight for them. Leave them be and if that works for the fascists they'll let you be. If it doesn't they'll jackboot your door down and eventually everyone fails their purity tests.,

Watch for the American Right to begin to make claims that by overreacting to and mischaracterizing the Trump immunity decision, critics are causing “unrest”, and then watch for them to use that to justify the things Trump does.

I really wish people listened to those of us who have spent years studying and writing about the far right and the coup they have been planning for decades. Because now they are just straight up telling you their plans because they are so emboldened by the fascist captured courts.

It's not going to come down to a president or red states or blue states. It's going to come down to electing mayors and city council members that are brave enough to say "you're going to need to send in the National Guard if you want that shit enforced here." This is why we vote.

It's weird, if Biden really were this way why would they have to make shit up about it? Like no one needs to lie about the crazy weird stuff Trump says, him falling asleep at his criminal trial, etc.

I recently had someone tell me about how climate change wasn't a problem and if it was "lol, I'm old so who really, who cares?" and I'm like "I'm about the same age as you and I care because what the fuck is wrong with you?" <- is what I wanted to say but client so I did not.
