    “How do you deal with the fact that Trump will die of old age soon and you basically voted for J.D. Vance instead?”

      That’s literally why my several members of my family voted for Trump. They really don’t like Trump (they voted for Nikki Haley in the primaries), but they really like Vance and hope he’ll take over at some point.

      I was blown away, because I was under the impression that Vance was fairly universally disliked. I immediately responded with some equivalent of “clearly we watch very different news.”

      There seems to be a pretty strong correlation between the age someones parents die and the age they’re likely to die.

      Trump’s dad lived until 93 and his mom live until 88. He might be here for a bit.

        Here’s a fact, there are an overwhelming number of north Koreans that support kim jong un despite it being insane. There is no saving these people. There is no walking them back. We either submit to their cause or they will drop the nukes themselves. The sooner we come to terms with it the sooner we know what must be done.
