Quick Thoughts - An observation. The End of the Democrats.
Joe Biden will prove to be the president who led the Democratic party into oblivion… A good thing, as I consider them to be hopelessly corrupt and irredeemable… Needing to follow the Whigs into history’s dustbin to be replaced by a party that is anti-war, anti-deep state, anti- FIRE sectors, anti-graft and greed, and anti-stick your hand out politics… A party that is for the people and their welfare and nothing else.
I am remembering when I protested against the Vietnam war. The Democrats were better in the late sixties than they are today. At least then, they were fractured, and I could support first Eugene McCarthy and then Robert Kennedy, while they majority of the party, the leaders and power brokers, remained the party of war led by LBJ and Hubert Humphrey… A party that had lost its way because of warmongering.
Today, the Democrats, led by the dithering, plagiarizing, warmongering, half bright corruption, Joe Biden, are 100 percent for war. I believe if Trump runs as the Anti-War candidate, he will win, and the Democrats will be done for. Trump may be the one ( a Republican I would never support except as anti-war) who provides the impetus to replace the Democrats with something worthwhile. The sooner the Democratic party meets history’s dustbin, replaced by a party actually for the people, the better it will be for the common men and women of America.
My Dream scenario is Biden dies the day after the democratic convention leaving them stuck with Kamala, and then e Trump narrowly loses and runs 3rd party to be able to pardon himself. Then Cornel West pulls it off for the greens. He might be just about the only person I unambiguously trust to do the right thing with that power. The only problem is I doubt Kamala could make it the 5 months or so without starting a nuclear war.
While I prefer Trump to Biden or Kamala, his ego makes him to easily flattered by neocons who go undermine him at every step. His entire presidency seemed to be more ego stroking, and billionaire tax cuts rather than anything to improve my life.
I remember being in highschool when it became apparent that republicans didn't care whatsoever about facts or evidence, just ideology. Then watching Clinton spew lie after lie after lie in 2016 with her media sock puppets encouraging her I realized at most 5% of the population even cares about the accuracy of politicians. and even less have spent enough time to be able to tell what is and isn't a lie. I have a hard time imagining anything besides terminal decline for this country.
I dunno. TDS (TrumpDerangementSyndrome) is still pretty powerful where I am.
I hope you are right and that Trump is still capable of changing course and renounce the "jabs" and embrace Peace. But we have too many geriatrics (like him) in positions of power.
