The meme here came from a reader.
I agree with this, except to note that there are liberals who hope Trump dies, whether via heart attack, plane crash, assassination, etc.
I point out that this will only make him a martyr among the MAGA base, and do little if anything to repudiate the idea that America needs to be led by a sociopathic dictator.
Which is a more effective tool for an absolute ruler to maintain power: force or deception?
Niccolo Machiavelli’s idea on the subject is presented here, but if you’re Donald Trump, you choose both. When he lost the election in 2020, he both incited a violent insurrection and conspired with 18 members of his staff to reach out to state government officials and overturn the results.
The meme here comes from a reader. Two comments:
1) Most people regard Trump’s $4 trillion in tax cuts for the rich as a “redistribution.”
2) The U.S. is the only developed country on Earth that doesn’t offer its citizens universal healthcare and other features of democratic socialism.
Here’s a water filtration product called “Cloud.”
I would guess that most people looking for something to perform this function do not want their water cloudy.
At left is a photo of North Carolina “Moms for Liberty” chapter vice president, arrested for her involvement on January 6th.
The cartoon here illustrates why appealing to undecided voters is folly: virtually none of them exist.
Of course, it’s possible that someone right across the street from me is thinking, “OK, Trump is a sociopathic criminal who will become the first American dictator, but Harris is a Democrat. Hmmm.”
Possible, yet extremely unlikely.
The author of the meme here poses an excellent question. And at least a partial answer is this: we’re not omnipotent.
Wow. We have a choice to make here, folks.
We could fashion the future of energy and transportation around what our scientists and industry experts are saying, automakers’ strategic plans, and what eco-conscious consumers are demanding around the globe.
But what about the unsupported claims of an actor who dropped out of college (twice)? He really does have a deep voice, though.
These fellows seem fine on commanding others as to what they will do. All the while, there are things they themselves will not do: become educated, read, think for themselves, or develop compassion and empathy for others.
It’s a trade-off.
In his press conference early today, Donald Trump announced that, shortly after he was elected president in 2016, he defeated the Islamic State, aka, ISIS. I was skeptical, and, a few seconds later, after looking it up, I realized that (gasp) he was lying.
Here’s a presentation that shows the frequency and ferocity of the ISIS’ acts of terror continues undiminished to this day.
Sure would be nice to replace the lies with truth. Maybe we can accomplish this.
