> The lesson from the last 20 years is that voters consistently vote to people who speak to their interests and their problems

This is false. Trump did not spoken to their problems.

He spoken to their hate, to they wish to harm other people. He is a crook and that appealed to them - they want to steal like him.

They voted for Trump, because they like seeing abuse. That was super clear, if you actually listen to what they say.


Nah. This is not true. They voted, because they looked forward the harm to liberals and cities and lgbt and women who dont conform and non whites. They wanted other to be harmed and openly talked about it. They thought they will be harmed only a little, like the last time.

Historically, republicans were not making policies good for them. By they promissed to be cruel and that was appealing.


BBC for all its faults is definitely better then Musks X when it comes to truth.

> Claims are being fact checked and annotated in real time by an algorithm that finds cases where ideologically opposed people still agree on the fact check. People can summon a cutting edge LLM to evaluate claims on demand. There is almost no gatekeeping so discussions show every point of view, which is fair and curious.

Every single sentence in this paragraph is a lie.


It would be all massively worst without regulations. In fact, regulation provably works. When you remove it, situation with pollution and health gets worst. If you add it, it gets better.

> What works is the threat of punishment

That is what regulations provide.

> full liability

Without regulation and just a court system, this is complete failure. This just ensure that you can harm people who cant afford expensive lawsuits. Which is why big companies who want to pollute preferer this over regulations.

And the most harmed companies are small ones. They do not know in advance what is allowed and what is not.


Gestapo was proud of their work. If they could and had phones, they would post selfies.

But, they were actual police, highly effective. (Torured, murdered, commited genocide ... buy were actual trained cop good at being cops and good at genocide).


But it is not just mad king. If republicans as a party did not supported it, they would vote in cogress to block and stop him. It would need just a few republican votes.

They dont. Republican party supports all of that, fully. Project 2025 came from heretage fund. Supreme court is result of them strategically getting people who support this on it.

Conservatives all like what trump does. Evangelical Christians still support him too.


The stability of the entire country seems to be suspect.

The US just had its longest government shutdown, where the government was non-functional. Yet no politicians appear to have suffered any consequences, and there are rumors of another.

The "checks and balances" of the government seem to be non-functional, as one branch of government claims to have veto power over all other branches.

The populace appears to have no power over their elected representatives, or possibly supports the current turn of events.


>Europe couldn't kick Russia, a country with 10x lower GDP and a decrepit army, out of Ukraine;

Meanwhile, USA basically capitulated to Russia.


Capitulated what? Did the US lose something by stopping donations to Ukraine?

Russia invaded Ukraine and would like to expand even more.

What is the difference? When threaten or invade in order to distract from Epstein, how is it different from threatening or invading because they want glory and look masculine as a primary goal rather then second?

They are working on making themselves less dependent. They kind of expect USA to try to invade them after it invades Greenland.

It is divorce in anticipation of a bout of domestic violence.
