This is what comes to mind when some neonazi whines about preserving confederate statues n’ shit because of ‘muh heritage!’
They’re not wrong that it’s our heritage; but it’s DEFINITELY not one to be proud of. If we’re going to showcase that side of US history (and we should), it should be done similarly to that of the holocaust museum: pull no punches in highlighting the absolute evil of the aggressors, and the suffering of the victims.
When we look at our ‘heritage’ we should feel shame and disgust so that when current events start to echo that history, we understand the gravity of what’s unfolding and make it top priority to stop that shit in its tracks.
Dismissing Trump as ‘just stupid’ is dangerous as fuck. He is incredibly successful at damaging the US, strengthening our enemies, and commiting evil - and then playing the village idiot card to skirt accountability.
Dude’s the closest thing irl to the fucking Darth Jar Jar theory.

A lot of Libertarianism sounds great on paper, so it’s an easy trap to fall into. Once you consider the human element and factors like greed, it stands out as an exceptionally abusable political model; but if you don’t think about it critically (which is a LOT of people), it’s just liberty this and non-aggression-principle-that and it all sounds just oh-so peachy… again, on paper.
A user on that other site put together a list of articles detailing a TON of examples of Trump harming the US military, ranging from actual policy implementations, to brown-nosing our enemies’ leaders, to being disrespectful to current and prior servicemen and women....

So, living in the cousin-fuckingly deep south, the LP is actually a great tool to redirect votes away from Trump.
There’s pretty much zero chance I can sell the local rednecks on Biden, but I’ve had decent luck with the whole break-room-political-banter situation - they’ll have Fox or some shit on, get all heated about whatever the bobble-heads on screen tell them to, then start bitching to me about it.
My strategy is to bitch right along with them - don’t defend Biden or (more often) Hillary, but connect whatever it is they’re whining about to Trump, and lump him in with whichever dem is in their spotlight.
Like when they bring up Hillary’s emails, I’ll hit em with something like “Dude, I don’t know how they get away with shit like that - if I did a tenth of what Hillary did with her private email server or Trump smuggling classified docs over to his private property, I’d spend the rest of my life in prison!”
‘Both sides’ em. End with a sales pitch for the LP as the only viable alternative, and hopefully you’ll get that “hmmm” response.
Don’t get me wrong, the LP is a bad fucking joke, but you can do some good talking up their on-paper highlights to the less crazy end of the Y’all Quaeda horde.
Every once in a while I read a new poll showing how historically unpopular he is. How do you think people individually and in groups will react to this seemingly inevitable (to me) result? How will society react and, if possible, change?
I’m not a fan of Biden, but I’d vote for a bag of his toenail clippings over the traitor Donald Trump.
US politics is always a choice of the lesser evil, and every gripe I have about Biden is petty as fuck in contrast to the damage Trump has already done to our country, let alone the potential to compound it if he’s elected again.
To answer your question, I’ll be disappointed in my fellow voters, but if that many people decide to vote against their own interests, then collectively we’ll get what we deserve.
