I'm really hoping Harris wins, and we can make politics boring again. I know that if Trump wins, we'll hear about all the insanity he will put in place for the next four years.
Sure, if he loses, Trump will cry foul, but that doesn't have the same legs as it would if he wins.
I just want Trump to be some washed out TV "celebrity" and politics to be as entertaining as it always is: not very.
I'm not American and all I hear about right now is American politics. Y'all need to figure your shit out.
Trump is not the problem. Trump is the symptom. The problem is a somewhat powerful minority faction in the US actively pushing to dismantle our democracy. Project 2025 wasn't written by Trump and didn't write itself.
Harris' win is step 1. We then need to push to shore up our democracy and prevent a more cunning trump replacement.
Watch the movie "Bad Faith". It lays it all out.
Tl;Dr: It's pretty much entirely the fault of Evangelicals.
Plus he's proven that having a cult of personality works, and caused a notable shift in the US Republican party.
For all we know, that might be a permanent change, rather than a temporary one.
I'm just hoping that there's no one with his "charisma." Thankfully everyone else scummy enough to be in the GOP is a wet rag in comparison to him so far. He may be a piece of shit, but a con man "confidence man" he most definitely is.
If Trump wins, the world will become a way less hospitable place even faster. This is literally the fight for the last resources, and the 1% wants it all. Trump is a Billionaire enabler... nothing else.
sorry to say but if trump is junior partner in a billionaire oligarchy firm then harris is their employee as head of hr who pretends to be our friend but is actually their to keep us in check. she was chose as vp by the lobbyists and since then she has only followed their orders.
At least she won't strip away any right. Freedom my arse.
If Trump loses, that dissolves the Trump cult and the next Trump that comes along will just be compared to Trump
I wouldn't count on that. These are cultists who are ready to deify Trump and start sending people to the camps. I don't think losing an election will change the fundamental cult dynamic, or the hatred and anger that has been organized within the cult. We are stuck with this bullshit probably for the rest of our lives, one way or the other.
Optimist.
You are out of your mind, my friend and so far removed from reality. What insanity are you even referring to? America needs rehabilitation, and we're not getting that with Harris, who has presented herself as utterly clueless in just about all her media interactions. It's absolutely bonkers how the seemingly majority of people here on Lemmy can't see this. Yikes! Glad to see the blue wall coming down as I type this.
Found the cult member.
Yes. You were looking in the mirror.
Childish response from a clown who thinks a geriatric nepo baby is going to make america great.
Not at all. I think he's going to fuck it up royally.
I'm just not blind faith attatched to eating the shit of genociding democrats like most of the real clowns on this website.
The democrats could have run a candidate who would have made Trump look foolish, but they didn't. Instead they ran the bigger fool.
Only the DNC is to blame. People I forgive. The fear is real.
How will Trump, the only other viable candidate, do a better job?
All arguments are expired at this point. Now you'll just have to witness for yourself how he'll do a better job.
To answer your question, though, I implore you (and anyone reading this comment) to pick through the trove of Charlie Kirk videos on YouTube with an open mind. ๐๐ฝ
Your mind would have to be positively cavernous.
Good one.
