The trick is simple and obvious and I suspect many here have been aware for a long time... the Ds and Rs are the same on the big issues, the economy, war, being mutually corrupt. This is where everyone gets fucked.
Where they differ are meager social issues, abortion, 2A, gender, tradition vs tolerance.
The latter is a smoke screen, or better yet, a numbing agent to keep you unaware of that giant effing you're getting in the backside.
@Henhouse_Cockerel agree on raping america 99%, grandstand on the 1% diff.
@Richard it is remarkable to me the amount of anger lefties have for Trump, it staggers me, you can't go five minutes without this "threat" being brought up. And if you can stomach it, and spend the time to really widdle it down to why they hate so much, its the grab em by the pussy quote. It really fucking is.
@Henhouse_Cockerel i wish trump was 5% of the monster they make him out to be.
@Richard the left has been conditioned to think this way, haven't they? Obama in 07/08 spoke in vague terms that could be interpreted anyway you chose once those words pass through the lens of expectation. This process of making sense of the world has led to gender identity acceptance, Trump bad, Ukraine good, Biden capable etc. The left has been conditioned to knit their own myths out of the ether. Its really amazing from a sociological perspective.
My take on trump vs the "deep state":
@Richard exactly, and to add to that, imagine what C19 lockdowns would have looked like under a Hillary administration. Half the country would have been in open revolt. Only way that shit happened was because T was in.
@Richard my favorite thing about Trump is he killed less people abroad than his predecessors.
@Henhouse_Cockerel @Richard I'm sorry you brought that up. Calculations on the domestic carnage wrought by operation dopey cocky prez @ WARP speed are numbers still dribbling in. But it was a HELL of a lot more than the wuflu or whatever it was Dietrich concocted and sent to wuhan or australia or italy could have done. His DOMESTIC kills WILL be remembered by history and 100 years from now as a genuine article of complicit murder in historians' conversations.
@Henhouse_Cockerel @Richard Point taken. Your post was about FOREIGN interventions that our founders warned against. Other than the Syrian tomahawks Trump sent (probably on lies or flawed intell) the Donald gets an A- from me. There's no fair comparison to Joey, since he's not running the show and no serious person believes he could on his best o' days at mid- to late stage dementia.
