  • I agree about the chaotic wildcard bit, but I fear he’s worse than the bad “organized establishment” Republicans of old.

    He’s anti establishment, but very much in the wrong direction. Typical conservatives want to exploit the poor and working class to get money and power. But they’re smart enough to think long term and not completely destroy the system, so as to actually keep all the money and power long term.

    Trump isn’t like this, I dont think he’s smart enough as many may agree. He is a failure, a failed businessman with many silly and ridiculous failed business ideas. He makes stupid decisions and doesn’t think long term. He wants money and power, but will make stupid decisions to get it, regardless of long term consequences. This is what I see, at least.

    This is why the fascism word is spread around, as a realistic fear. Look at our supreme court. He doesn’t care about any of the repercussions of his decisions.

    I’m arguing that trump is worse than the horrible Republicans that are now rejecting him, rightly so, as much as I hate them too. Your comment almost seemed to say he’s not as bad, but I could be wrong.


  • I agree with you in certain aspects. Democrats are certainly not left of center by any means. None. Nor are they centrist. They’ve always been right of center. But sitting next to the far right Republicans makes them appear reasonable. Overton window.

    That being said they threw us a bone by pushing biden out, which is inherently progressive (even minimally). The conservative traditional dem way would have been to stick it out with biden. Also, Walz was the most progressive pick of all the VPs. He’s no bernie, but it’s still something. Way better than the alternatives.

    And lastly but most importantly, trump. Trump is the worst of the worst of the worst of ruthless exploitative conservative republican capitalism. He’s a cheater, exploiter, and now a convicted felon. He would love to be a fascist dictator IF he had any opportunity. And whether he publicly says so or not, that project 2025 horror is real and what much of his base wants and what his “cabinet” would absolutely push for.
