So long as rfk is there no chance
It's hilarious to me that people are down voting me because I want a functional government.
Obviously it's an uphill battle to get Donnie to admit any mistakes, but I'd take any chance.
It's not because you want a functional government its that you're trying to justify compromise with modern nazis. Especially on lemmy you're not going to have much support for any compromise position in the first place, then with fascists all anyone can see is how far right parties are enabled and take over a country as happened with the Nazis in Germany.
You think that people should die from eating tainted food? Or suffer because we can't have FEMA helping during disasters?
"It's okay for innocent people to suffer if it means we get rid of the bad people." Is that what you think?
Read my posts. I hate Trump as much as anyone.
No, I just know better than to believe that the bad people can be anything other than bad. They've repeatedly proven that these bad things are what they want. What is the compromise? "I'll give you another billion if you promise to let the federal agencies actually do their job again?" They'll take the money and still leave the agencies non-functional just because they know their word is meaningless and they get off on you expecting/begging them to be reasonable.
Its a paradox of tolerance situation.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
