I love the media’s constant portrayal of Trump as some kind of mastermind, manipulating voters with strategic and tactical planning. He’s not; he’s a stupid and vain old man, desperate for people to love him yet constantly repulsing them because he’s a massive child inside who has no filter.
The masterminds are the < 0.1% capitalists who have corrupted the entire system, financed the GQP into mainstreaming fascism, and financed the Democrats into the only alternative — ineffectual neoliberal lapdogs.
Corporations are literally dictatorships where money is speech, and the structure of the entire corporate world is authoritarian — sitting right alongside fascism and the polar opposite to democracy (and worker co-ops). Never forget, Nazi Germany was a ChristianCapitalist dictatorship. The 0.1%, and their corporations, were more than happy to finance and partner with Hitler, right through the Holocaust — no different to the way they’ve financed and partnered with Russia, Saudi Arabia, the CCP, and countless other authoritarian criminals, right through the genocide of the Uyghurs and Palestinians. The thing they hated most about communism was that they couldn’t buy it out, and weren’t the top dogs controlling the capital.
Trump and every corrupt politician is just a vassel of capitalism doing what capitalism does when it isn’t kept on an extremely tight leash — capital and power accumulation at any cost. After all, the only force more powerful than too-big-to-fail corporations is a government for, and by, the people.
His base is already convinced that his inevitable conviction is an election interference by Joe Biden. Right wing media is incessantly spewing “Biden’s Judiciary” bullshit.
If upcoming election goes R, it will be the last election in foreseeable future
It’s like a dark reprise of that gag where Homer keeps acting like a jerk but avoiding consequences because he keeps saying “Sorry, I’ve got a class to teach”
