@clawfulneutral i think his support is in part a coalition of everyone extremely unhappy with the previous direction and are supporting anything to not go back to that.

@sun unfortunately the Democrat power structure has shown absolute zero indication that it will change course by the width of a single atom

@clawfulneutral they are gonna suppress vote on iran so trump does it unilaterally. they think it will blow up in his face and they'll regain power. if true they are perfectly willing to facilitate unfathomable destruction for selfish ends

@sun @clawfulneutral there was a rep this week that said something like "maybe we should just replace everyone in Congress" and I'm like YESSSSSSSS but it would never happen

@feld @sun I’m of the opinion that the only way to have a real opposition party in the USA lies directly thru the total destruction and dissolution of the Democrat Party. so, yeah. I’m pretty much on the same page.

@clawfulneutral @feld there is nothing salvageable in the party because the leadership will kill it before they vacate for new people

That’s both US parties at this point. Only the horrible state of the democrats makes the Republicans seem meaningfully better. Which is only by default.

@leyonhjelm @feld @sun I gotta say, I am enjoying watching the “but he said he wasn’t going to start 27 new quagmires overseas” crowd and the “but I thought America First meant no more subsidizing the daily life of millions of Israelis while meemaw dies of diabetic gangrene in a trailer with no electricity” crowd and the “but I thought he was going to BAN glyphosate not double its domestic production” crowd learn their respective lessons

@clawfulneutral @feld @leyonhjelm he seemed authentic about no more wars but then he had to stay out. of jail and probably had to make promises. still fuck him

@sun @feld @leyonhjelm I’m honestly amazed that someone as narcissistic as Trump can fake enthusiasm for being besties with Netanyahu so well after being repeatedly punked on the world stage, like to the point that I gotta wonder if there’s more going on than Trump just being bought & paid for by Israel… I would’ve expected far more barbed slips of the tongue and/or unexpected moves to extract a pound of flesh from Bibi than I’ve actually seen. it seems like they must have kompromat

The more time passes the more sure I am that Trump loves his legacy more than he loves himself.

@leyonhjelm @sun @clawfulneutral this is obvious, it's why he wants his name on everything. And new monuments. And on money. It's an illness

@feld

I think he has the right idea. I would that every public official was proud enough of what he did to put his name on things and build monuments.

@leyonhjelm @feld @clawfulneutral the procedure is, you do a great job and later other people put you on coins and monuments. not yourself.
