    If trump wins and America can’t defeat his senile version of fascism, then it’s already on the death bed waiting for the next republican to take power…

    trump is the best authoritarian we’re going to get, he’s easy mode, the republicans will get someone worse, someone who has the ability to think beyond his next shit.

    It’s not going to get better only worse…

        Awful, but less transparently corrupt than Trump. And they didn’t have the chutzpah to lie about who won an election.

        Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr., Bush Jr., and Trump are all links in the same chain of shit. If any of them were avoided we’d be much better off as a nation.

            Bush started multiple wars and killed millions of people by lying about WMD’s and blamed Iraq for doing 9/11 which was done by Afghanistan but actually by Saudis. And Bush passed many spying acts and abolished rights.

            Trump bombed Suleimani and withdrew from Afghanistan. That’s it for foreign policy.

            Bush was infinitely more worse than Trump. Trump just looked really dumb
