It won't be long until ONLY anti-vaxxers are dying from COVID

Support for Trump is commonly said to be based on demagoguery, a cult of personality. While I agree on the element, I do not agree that he has control over anyone. Over 70 million Americans freely gave it to him. Several thousand went to the 1/6 rally expecting a civil war.

IMO, it's less about Trump and more about a nation feeling lost as it tries to reinvent itself after being the world's dominant power for 50 years.

That's what the entire "MAGA" theme is about. The big lie is that the US isn't still great, still the world's most dominant power militarily, economically and politically. The problem is that too many people are concerned that their future, and their children's future has a lot less hope in it than when they were children.

Notice the age groups of the assholes supporting Trump and the Insurrection.

I think we'll successfully reinvent ourselves as our nation has done before, but the growing pains may outlast my own lifetime, about another 20 years.

It's a bad turn for the USA. Trump was a symptom, not the disease. He certainly fanned the flames, amped it up. Social media has been a bad thing for the USA. Zuckerburg kicked a tiny snowball off the top of a mountain when he began FB in college. He didn't know what it would become. He just wanted to make a platform to connect people. Unfortunately that had very unintended consequences. The most dangerous people got connected. Extremists got organized. It was sort of inevitable that would happen. There needs to be better regulation and better information circulation.

All these loner extremists with violent tendencies got connected. They encouraged one another. The whole anti-government thing exploded. Trump seized a moment, rode a nasty wave.

Society has been shocked. Jan 6th was a day of infamy. Hopefully that made such an impression that the good people of America rise up in great enough numbers to vote out the responsible party. And this despite all of the anti-democracy new voting restrictions.

Disagreed on Social media. People, being people, fall into the 10% Rules**. Instead of looking at the 10% who are assholes, look at the 90% who are using social media to stay connected with family and friends during the COVID pandemic. Look at the virtual class reunions being held across the nation as people go where the jobs are but can stay connected with people they've know all their lives.

What We, the People, should take a look at isn't trying to deny the 90% modern tech, but figure out how to help the brain-damaged 10%. Better mental healthcare and legislative tools to make it work.







**10% Rules
  • 10% of any group are assholes.
  • 10% of any group causes 90% of the problems.
  • We’re all assholes 10% of the time.

Trump is a carnival hustler who figured out how to make the devolved white trash troglodytes idolize him.
He didn't create them.
He encouraged them to crawl out from under their rocks.

Then, when the universe allowed the sick joke of him becoming potus, he performed the job with the governing "skills" of a carnival hustler.

What else could he possibly do?

But now the troglodytes, heretofore redefined as trumpanzees, are still out from under their rocks.
We can't pretend that it's not a problem.
We need a serious cleanup on aisle America.

How many nouns are you using to hide your guy is a homo child rapist forced feminising junky fagot? Lol. Rest reads like your own projection.

You only have a handful of misappropriated nouns. We have time on target nouns and adjectives for your slime.

That's all fine and well and you make some good points. So let's talk about how that might happen.

We could tax the living daylights out of the super-rich, go ahead and set up universal healthcare, have it include mental health counseling; but how does that get the people who need it most to go in a begin that process? Money was never the limiting factor there. Look at Trump. If anybody needs mental health counseling it's him. And he could well afford it. His ego won't let him begin the process.

And that's such a shame! Trump is a talented guy. He's just so stupid he never had enough faith in himself to do things in a positive way. He doesn't grasp the concept of win/win business. He totally thinks it all has to be win/lose. He doesn't think he can get rich unless he rips somebody off. And that's so sad. He has created this incredibly stressful life with no friends at all, dedicated to the obsession with money over all else.

What if he used his talents in a constructive way? What if he tried to do everything completely legit? Why, with his powers of vision and persuasion, he could build great things that people appreciate, and he could do it in a way that would benefit everyone involved. Nobody has to get ripped off to make money. That's ridiculous. He never needed to go to court, have thousands of lawsuits, arguments, threats, damage control to be done, litigation lawyers to be hired. None of that. Working the public image to cover up a pile of stinking dirty secrets? It wouldn't be needed. All of that has been a waste of money.

Trump is such a poor businessman with his immature ideas, that he would be richer today if he never even tried. If he had simply taken what was passed down to him and invested it in index-based market funds, and never done a day's work in his life, he would be far richer today than he is.

He's really made a mess of his life. It's too bad his ego prevents him from getting help.

So how would that work for the millions of others in this nation who need that? Even if we get it paid for, how do we get them to accept help they are not asking for?

We're not. We can't fix all those messed up people. We have to control the way they get organized and prevent them from getting out of control.

I think social media has to be regulated and monitored by the government. I don't see any other choice. The only choice seems to be if we want to know about it or if the FBI is going to be monitoring everything far more aggressively, maybe build a whole new division to keep up on everything that's going on on the internet behind the scenes, and we all pretend we don't know they are watching.

No you could never, wake up lol. You'd sell out your pal for five bucks of cheap smack.

Is that the problem? Is it? JHoe's whole point of looting dope to kill junkies, i get that. But it was never meant to continue in perpetuity. You cant control an afghan pederast heroin cartel. You cant even control a south anerican catholic pederast heroin cartel. We're not just killing our own junkies. There's a world wide death toll. They're all pointing the finger at us and it's justified. There's nothing quite as stupid as killing your allies unless that was your intent :/
Yer an idiot.

So, what were you thinking jHoe's heroin imports were? Besides your daily dose of bacha bazi rape slaves you sacrifice on a daily basis, what about all his customers? Yer a faggot idiot.

You think you have friends? Lol. You just have drug acquisition associates. Junkies are so stupid, lol. When you od, you know they'll all be looking for your dealer, right? Just to get drugs mind you. Not that they'll honestly be upset or anything.

The rest just reads like peojection.

Damn man, hope you find that lucky dose soon. Try some lead pills. They're great for headaches. Promise.
