23AndMe. Yeah, who saw that coming?
Many of us.
Its not as clear cut as these two parties like to make it. Trump was terrible on Covid. During his term most Republicans were bad as well. However, they were not the same as the Democrats. An issue that should not have been political became political became political. Who knows what Trump would have done if he had remained in office. Its hard for me to believe he would have been as insane as Biden though.
The thing is, this is all a trap. Get people arguing about which team did better or worse instead of understanding the policies and logical flaws in both. Both desire to increase their power and their perceived need. Its really a dumpster fire.
One cannot take anything good Trump has ever said seriously (he's a liar and authoritarian twat), but all the bad things he has ever said, joked about, or supported must be 100% incorporated into one's opinion of his. Strange asymmetry.
Friend. Logic is a black hole for people that are filled with hate.
Libertarianism is actually a pretty big tent. I 100% get why some will and are supporting Trump. At worst it is defensive. He's worse than the other side is the most simple explanation. I don't vote but I get why some do. I also understand why people calling themselves libertarian would refuse to vote for Trump. Some will vote for the Libertarian party candidate. Some are anarchists. Some are minarchists and are therefore statists. They support a night-watchman state. Ron Paul is in the category.
The fact that so many people get all worked up about anyone possibly finding anything positive about Trump is really interesting to watch. I do not trust him or his team. In the end, to me the much bigger problem is that so many focus on the government as the solution to their person problems. This includes libertarians.
I get it to some extent. The state really went after individuals hard in the US during the pandemic. This is a big reason why so many are behind Trump. They see him as the only option to stop the system or at least slow it. If he wins I hope he does some good. Not hopeful but I've been wrong before.
There are so many lies of omission and outright lies we are taught in both government schools and popular culture. Its pretty wild. Not really well versed in Guy Fawkes though.
Pretty much. And that more the elites attack him the the every man likes him. It has been interesting to watch.
All politicians seek to appear like the every man. None of them are. They come off as fake. Trump isn't the common man but he doesn't come off as fake. He is a a NY loud mouth and doesn't try to sound like a typical politician. He uses rough language that normal people use in private conversations. He has no shame about it in an age where pretty much every is careful with speech.
This is one of his appeals to the masses. I know many that support him. Most don't think he's perfect. They don't like some of the stuff he says. But he's more authentic to them than the typical politician that sounds nicer. People are sinical about politics. The slime balls have done this to themselves.
Its fun to watch. Its fun to watch someone talk the way he talks to the elites. Fun to watch how triggered they get by him.
Does Webb offer any actionable advice? Or is it all doom? I have never heard her offer a positive vision.
I diligently absorbed two hours of Whitney Webb yesterday to nurture my paranoia.
Good Lord. Why do that to yourself? I'm not worried. On a scale of one to ten I'm at 3. If I lived in a city that burned during covid I would probably be more concerned. I expect civil unrest between the day and February. I don't think it's gonna be terrible. It will look bad on TV. Remember how bad they made the J6 look vs reality.
There's a lot of stupid going around about the election. Yeah, there will be cheating and I don't see either side accepting defeat. I don't see resolution to the conflict in sight. We are on a path and I don't see getting off of it.
Have been a thrifter since I met my wife and she introduced me to it. Clothes are incredibly over priced IMO and many of these stores really help people in need.
