The Trump campaign said it nearly doubled its single-day fundraising record after a New York jury found Donald Trump guilty in his criminal hush money trial.
The part where he said his trial was rigged was where I got really worried.
Denying the election and encouraging a failed insurrection was where I realized this was our last chance. If Trump gets elected again he’s going to do everything he’s been promising and threatening. He’ll make Project 2025 a reality and the United States will never see another real election again prior to a civil war. And honestly, we haven’t seen a fascist dictatorship be overturned by it’s populace before. We’ve only seen outside forces overthrow it and there aren’t any that could pose a threat to the US.
If Trump wins the election in November, America is done. Probably forever, or until it collapses from within as Russia is threatening to do.
Hopefully I’m just overwhelmed with the news cycle but it seems like people really don’t care much about intellectualism. This country has been on an anti-intellectualism path for a decade or more. If people don’t care to know stuff, how can we progress?
This group has been told over and over that what they believe is factually untrue. You can point at the sky and explain it’s blue and offer the scientific explanation for it being blue yet they will claim that it’s red with no evidence at all (just that the pillow guy says so). This used to be a fringe group and I totally get that a small segment of the population has particular perspectives but the fact that it’s becoming common place is just mind bending. I don’t understand how people can be shown facts and continue to lie to themselves. How hurt can you be? How prevalent is mental instability? What could we possibly do to make people feel better and give a crap about themselves and their communities?

I think it might already be done.

At least since Reagan.
