I usually steer clear of religion but the Rorschach test idea is amazing, never looked at it that way until now. Cheers!

I think most rational people would like an opposition party who brings good ideas with solid justification to the table. A group of professional politicians who argue in good faith, working for the betterment of their electorate. People who can at least be respected by the international community, willing to tackle the real problems facing the world as a whole.
If we're talking about dictatorship perhaps it's worth scrutinising the people arguing for total immunity for the president. It's especially worth an in-depth look at the relationships they form with leaders of other nations and the principles they share.
As a non-US person, I want to point out that US politics has shifted so far to the right that centrists in any other country would look like far left to you.
And you sound like someone who puts their political stooges on a pedestal.
It's like the Fonz jumping the shark all over again.
As they say in Thailand, same same but different.
Replace 'Trump' with 'Russia'.
They are both entangled in a fight for survival. Both of them need the support of the US people if they have any hope of making it. It's imperative for either party that they win this and nothing is off the table when it comes to politics or influence.
There is an existential war at hand and none of the embattled parties give two shits about the aftermath.
As a first-time user I'm enjoying Lemmy. I feel like I want to contribute mostly because I won't have an immediately antithetical comment to follow my own. Am not looking for an echo chamber, I'm looking for conversation and sharing ideas. Reddit has devolved and this seems like the best way forward, for now.
