I love this!!! Trump has broken America's fever. It's like the demons coming out of carville. He "prays to God for hate!".

No wonder it appears God has sided with Trump.

OMG. The crazy person is you looking to raving old men to read the tea leaves for you. You are as batshit as they are, weirdo.

Stop listening to raving old men.

Trump is incompetent and demented.

25th now.

+1

And for God's sake, NO more 80 year old Presidents! Hopefully we'll all be able to agree on that.

People have to stop playing games with politics. Stop prognosticating about 2028. We don't know if there will be free and fair elections. Things are changing incredibly fast and conditions are wildly uncertain. Just because someone gives a good speech doesn't mean they're the person for the moment.

We're living in very, very serious times. Politics aren't the same thing as spending your time gaming out the NFL Draft. Lock in. This isn't entertainment, it's not a fun pastime. We're dealing with matters of life or death for many people and democracy is in actual peril. Stop with this.

We've been taught to treat politics as an entertainment or spectator sport. The way cable news and corporate media and social media have warped a real sense of what politics are and what serious consequences they hold is abhorrent. People are behaving unseriously about some really serious shit.
‪
If you truly care about what happens to vulnerable people, your neighbors, your loved ones, reframe how you look at politics and stop looking for candidates who give good speeches or look the best on camera. Look for leaders who take actual moral and ethical stands for the vulnerable.
‪
If the past few years aren't enough to fundamentally change the way you approach politics and what you look for in leaders, it's probably time to take a long look in the mirror and ask yourself what you're actually after and what you actually believe in.

The US is becoming part of the whole world now. We have been forcing austerity on the rest of the world through the gospel of neoliberalism and now it's hitting home and it feels terrible. It makes for terrible policy.

Also, things look terrible in and from the perspective of Washington, DC right now.

As I have said many times, you could get better outcomes from a random number generator than Washington DC.
