He can and he will. He will go away forever one day.
Not soon enough.
Agreed.
And how many people do you think are in line to be the face of the same idealogy? Our society is made by, made for and rewards sociopathy. There is no bright future until we start looking at these issues that start in childhood. Kids are being raised thinking if they bully everyone in their path then they can be the president. How about we start teaching kids that increasing quality of life for future generations so they can flourish and make more advancements is a much better idea than being a massive piece of orange colored shit.
The one saving grace is that Trump's whole thing has been a cult of personality, and nobody else in the MAGA movement has been nearly on his level in that regard. There's a good chance the whole thing falls apart without him.
Agreed. He unites the whackos.
I understand what you are saying, but that's the way it has always been. This is not new.
Thing is, we are now seeing where that approach will always lead. The ideology of "you need to fight everyone else for your piece of the pie, and theirs too if you can get it" has created immense suffering in American society. It has only been like this for the relatively short time that the American ideology has been teaching people this. It can be changed, and in my more optimistic moments I'd see we're seeing early signs of a change even now.
Dude, that's a crazy take to say it's only a recent thing when owning another human being used to be a thing. This country was founded on stealing shit from others who cannot defend themselves.
It's not new. It's something to address, yes. We need to change it, but it's not new.
Sorry, I meant that in the course of human history it's not new, though this attitude has always been present in the relatively young history of the USA. I was trying to be optimistic that it can be changed, even if it's hard to see how right now.
Hey man, people used to sacrifice virgins to the sun god for a better harvest. It was once normal to consider women as less than men. We had separate water fountains, bathrooms, bus seats for different races. Progress is about progressing. It doesn't matter how long people have been stupid, the point is to always improve, not stagnate or reverse.
I agree that stepping backwards is not ideal, but I do believe that there will never be a straight path to utopia. There is going to be some struggle from those who have to give up privilege along the way. Large ships don't turn very quick, but as long as they are headed in the right direction, that's all that matters. Although it may seem we aren't headed in the right direction, in the grand scheme of things, I believe that we have the ability to bear in the correct direction.
There is no utopia because everyone's biological soup is different. Best we can do is utilitarianism and voting in a literal criminal isn't a small step back, that's a taco bell beer shit on progression
There's a bigger picture
There are ways to hurry that along.
They tried a few times already
Im still not certain they tried. I mean, how can you miss such a big target at such a distance?
