The issue isn’t whether Donald the Duck wants to be a dictator—it’s clear that he does. It’s also evident that his supporters are aware of this. The real question is why so many Americans feel so let down by their political system that they’re willing to tear it down completely.
Because they keep voting against their own interests? Because they’re gullible fools manipulated by outrage headlines? Because they aren’t able to understand the consequences of their votes?
I try to understand, I try to find common ground, but all I see is someone in a horror movie standing in an open grave wondering if they’re trapped but won’t stop digging.
If you really believe that such a large percentage of Americans vote to end democracy because they are idiots, then you don’t believe in democracy either.
And that is what will do more than anything to end it, to make neither side believe that it is the least bad of the systems.
Yep, both sides the same. Voting for universal healthcare and achieving it, is the same as voting against and having hundreds of thousands without. Voting to respect everyone’s reproductive rights is the same as trying to control other people’s choices. Voting to improve education is the same as starving education. And most of all not understanding people’s poor choices is exactly the same as treason and election fraud
Probably because they are feeling like the electoral system is not working for them at the moment. Sometimes you need to tear it down completely in order to build it up properly. Trump seems to be the perfect candidate to fuck it all up, before someone else can take over the wheel.
Be careful with those types of ideas “we have to tear down the system and anyone who tears it down is worth it” no, if Trump ruins everything, whoever comes after him is not going to fix it, at least not in the way you imagine. Believe me, in Europe we have seen those kinds of ideas before
