Yes, indeed. So really what you need from a president is a trustworthy image and a baseline moral character, because all the actual governance minutiae is handled by the staff.
So why is it that all these people come out of the woodwork to insist the president NEEDS to be mired in one of the most corrupt political systems in the developed world?
Strange that an ailing old man has his administration behind him to do all the gruntwork but an actually popular candidate wouldn’t
And it will be again in 2026. And 2028. And 2030 if those don’t work…
The Nazis are in the Reichstag. It ends with the death of the Republic or a civil war, period.
It’s not elder abuse for Trump because Nazis aren’t people.
I’ll vote for a senile old man who wants universal healthcare and won’t help do a genocide any day of the week.
I’ll also vote for a senile old liberal who’s the opposite of both of those things when the alternative is a fuckin Nazi, but that doesn’t mean I’ll be quiet about my displeasure.
I mean, I think it devolved into a literal mental breakdown at the end. That or it was just a freeform poem all along.
The reality is that with the Republicans embracing fascism America will not recover without the candidacy of another FDR, someone who voters can not only want to vote for but will replace any overly partisan Congresscritter that opposes his agenda.
That’s not happening. Period. Maybe the Democrats will win this year, maybe not, but in 2026 and 2028 they’ll still be ratcheting America to fascism regardless with their neverending deluge of “moderates” that are always a little more right than before in an appeal to voters who want a dictator instead of picking candidates their base actually wants.
This road isn’t ending well no matter what happens.
And everyone who cares about facts would never vote for him.
Trump’s lies were more obvious than normal. So there’s that, I guess.
Maybe they just related to someone having trouble keeping up with a yelling idiot liar?
I mean, he has spent most of his career fighting universal healthcare.
What if I were to tell you that not all old folks are the same?
It would literally take a revolution.
They did, in 2016, and he lost because America is too far gone and doesn’t have time to recover before we burn the world.
People didn’t forget. They never cared. Biden didn’t win by 5 million votes (and that’s not actually a significant percentage), he won by 50k votes in a few counties that flipped their states.
What if that was the max?
You’re right, we won’t KNOW, it might be the single exception from the past two hundred years.
Imagine downvoting “I think the President should be good at public speaking”
Uh, if there’s a “rest of the world” why haven’t I seen it?
He very publicly doesn’t, and has called Bibi’s government racist war criminals.
Why would you assume he would?
