      The virus being a range of sociopathic beliefs and behaviour justified as “conservatism”.

            THANK YOU! I keep fucking saying it’s the damn lead. (And other shit, like microplastics in the water, etc) it makes people unable to think rationally.

              Yeah, I agree. PFAS, lead, carbon monoxide, microplastics, all the pollutants. It would be naive to think these things don’t impact the mental capacity of the globe as a whole.

          I think it is more about too much centralizati and the power that results that leads to corruption no matter the intentions or political system.

        It has a vector of a bulbous demographic growth that is the baby Boomer generation. Luckily they are deflating slowly, but every young person must do their utmost to vote.

      Yup he doesn’t have to win, as long as one of his lackeys do.

        At this point any Republican that has a shot would be a disaster. Just look at Project 2025. It doesn’t need to be Trump to completely regress to a dictatorship.

          Yup, that’s basically what I meant. Virtually the entire party is complicit in this.

        Many of whom seem straight up worse. Trump is awful, but at least he’s mostly incompetent at even achieving his own goals. The idea of having someone like Trump but competent is utterly horrifying. DeSantis, in particular.
