My narrative is that Trump is the imaginary cudgel Democrats wield against voters in order to justify their cushy do-nothing jobs, collect donations, insider trade, and pretend they stand for something. It's all theatre. In reality they either don't care what he does or agree with him, because if they cared then something might actually change.

The fuck country do you live in?

Russia, as I'm sure you'll contend.

Have you not seen the damage done by letting him have 3 supreme court appointments?

Huh, guess if Dems didn't want that to happen they could have put a competent candidate against him. Also don't think even he expected to get that many. I suppose the aging and cancer having justice could have stepped down during a Democratic administration but she was a bit attached to the job and power. Ultimately though I think Biden is responsible since he could have packed the court with justices any time during his administration and decided against it because of "norms", assuming he has enough brain cells remaining to comprehend the concept.

And on that note, every "official" action is beyond scrutiny now so there are literally no guard rails if trump wins or steals a second term.

Interesting, sounds like another thing that would be fixed by court packing.

Trying to determine if you're trolling or genuinely having difficulty understanding my preceding post...

Liberal hyperbole as usual. Trump is the system working as planned. There was lots of outrage after 1/6, but nothing fundamentally changed. Nothing fundamentally changed by his being in office or his actions in office either. His immigration policies were retained by Biden, his corporate tax breaks were retained by Biden, his sections of border wall were maintained by Biden, his policy of letting Israel do whatever it wants was maintained by Biden. What actually changed under Biden?

Oh I never said Russia was good. I'm not really sure there are any good sides here.

Anyone who's taken a deep look into Ukrainian culture and recent history will notice their odd fetishization of Nazis because Nazis tried to help them secure independence from the Soviets because it was profitable (huge amounts of grain farmland), despite Nazis' hatred of Slavs.

Russia is obviously being an imperialist power here, but it's because of increased and illegal NATO expansion after the Cold War.

Obviously USA under the flag of NATO is an imperialist power because they want the grain land and chip manufacturing these days as well.

So while Ukrainian civilians are by and large innocent, they are caught up in something that's been much bigger than them for a long time

Sounds like you're familiar with this concept. Tell me more.

Yeah, I'm not convinced that Democrats can be pressured to do the right thing either. They can hold all 3 branches and still fail to do anything meaningful to better peoples' lives in the long term.

Still no Gaza ceasefire, still no universal healthcare, still no federal abortion bill, still no packed supreme Court, still no non compete ban. They're just Republicans larping as not-Republicans.
