60 sats \ 2 replies \ @SimpleStacker 1 Jan \ on: The Economist Again Gives Proof For Decline Of The MSM culture
Wow this article is actually total shit. Even worse than anything else I've read from The Economist.
It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. For one thing, multiple paragraphs are like, "Well, I guess Trump's first term wasn't that bad... BUT here's why it's definitely gonna be shit if he's elected again"
And then there's this laughable statement:
China and its friends would rejoice over the evidence that American democracy is dysfunctional. If Mr Trump trampled due process and civil rights in the United States, his diplomats could not proclaim them abroad. The global south would be confirmed in its suspicion that American appeals to do what is right are really just an exercise in hypocrisy. America would become just another big power.
As if Joe Biden isn't already enough evidence that America is dysfunctional... and as if the rest of the world doesn't already see America as a big ol' hypocrite
Dude I just think Europeans are wetting the bed about Ukraine. They're scared they might actually have to pay attention to their own defense for once.
Personally, I do think a second Trump presidency would be disastrous. But mainly because of Trump Derangement Syndrome... so many people are going to throw away all sense of logic and ethics in the name of defeating Trump, and it will let a lot of bad players get away with misbehavior in the name of "beating Trump" that normally wouldn't be tolerated.
