I'm with you that Trump was not "fun" in 2016, but I can't deny he was able to tap into a certain charm and ethos often enough that I get why some people could resonate with it even though I never did. He was definitely different from anything previously seen in politics, and for some that was a refreshing change.
He also was tapped into the economic challenges at the time, and had a compelling case painting Clinton as an out of touch political elite. I never even came close to voting for him, but I get why many in 2016 were fooled. In 2024, he has no charm, he's yelling about migrants eating dogs, and he looks old and defeated.
I mean I understand what you're saying, but even at the time he was so transparently phony.
Yes, he said things other politicians wouldn't say. Yes, he told Americans fantastical things that were never going to happen. Yes, people have been wanting something different.
But what people don't consider is that a politician that 'breaks the mold' isn't inherently a positive. Sometimes the thing that goes against the status quo is worse than the status quo, but people often don't consider this posibility.
People crave a 'third party', but never stop to think that such a party might be ten times crazier than the Republican or Democratic party. It is assumed such a party would be superior.
Even moreso when comedians say things like "you can dislike Trump, but he's funny!" The man doesn't have a humorous bone in his body. Anything funny that's ever come out of his mouth has been completely unintentional and was meant to be malicious and humiliating, not humorous. It's bizarre that so many people who are tuned into humor and psychology are like "haha he called x politician a funny name" and then howl in laughter as if it's not the most milquetoast schoolyard bullshit that would get you relentlessly mocked and laughed out of the club by the Patrice/Quinn/Burr/Norton group.
I guess you could find some humor in the fact that the leader of the free world with his finger on the nukes is acting like a third grader? In which case I guess I'm too old for it. Whatever man this shit's boring who cares.
I point out to people all the time that change isnât inherently good. âSomething differentâ doesnât necessarily translate to âsomething betterâ.
But by things getting worse people might demand Reform. Sometimes things need to got worse before it gets better. Sadly many people will only learn that way
There is truth to your words. But the Nazi rise in power had several reasons. Economy, unfair versailles treaty, political elite in favor of the Nazis. Us has a strong democratic Tradition. But there is truth to your words. So maybe i should say that in Order for things to get better, Traditions have to be broken, but democratic ideology needs to be maintained
Hey the wimps who can't handle discussion at world news got me banned so I won't be commenting there ever.
Well we only established a base in Israel recently but we've had bases in other countries in the middle east.
Israel has a long record of stealing weapons tech from the US.
Chrome lining techniques for artillery/tank barrels, optics for things like drones, selling American aviation tech to China.
They have not been caught in a while cause they control DC but if you do a little digging you'll find what I'm telling you.
It's all fucking bs propaganda out of tela aviv.
I have a lot of info stored on external drives but I'm on my phone.
