And even when not speaking during tonight’s debate, he often looked totally bewildered.

To be fair, my partner and I also looked totally bewildered by the things falling out of Trump’s face. I don’t know that he actually answered a single question, but rather spouted the same racist nonsense over and over.

Being a narcissistic, bloviating despot is exactly what everyone expected of Trump. In fact, he came off rather well from the time constraints, muted mics, and the total lack of fact-checking because the format of the debate didn’t expose his weaknesses like it did for Biden.

I am absolutely grieving right now because of how much of the discourse following the debate is “BIDEN OLD”. Both of them are old. I wish I had another option other than Biden, but at this point it’s between him and a 34-time convicted felon that tried to throw a coup as soon as he was going to lose power and STILL will not admit he is wrong about the election results. Nor will he promise to honor the results of this upcoming election. There really isn’t a choice here.

What a fucking failure our political system is.

It’s freaky how much this is mirroring the lead up to Nazi Germany. Right down to a convicted criminal spewing nonsense yet looking poised to take over

I am legitimately scared

That’s a silver lining.

Biden looks like he’s on the verge of croaking, so maybe, just maybe, we’ll get a black, female fascist enabler instead of an old white male fascist enabler for once.

And so the cycle will continue until rank choice voting gets through. 🫠

It’s unavoidable.

Remember in 2016 when we learned 40,000,000 Americans couldn’t absorb an unexpected $400 expense without going further into debt? That number has almost certainly exploded since then, with the housing crises and massive inflation that America has been forced to endure. I doubt those people are going to forego a badly needed day’s pay to vote for one of these two assholes when the last eight years has reinforced emphatically how little they care about the poor and working class.
