And that's a big part of why, despite everything Biden is doing, I am 100% voting for him. Because if Biden wins, there will be a 2028 election where we can hopefully find someone better, and I'm not convinced that there will be under Trump.

Four years of Trump came really close to turning this country into a kakistocratic dictatorship. I really don't want to give him another chance.

So when Trump pulls another January 6, but succeeds this time and declares himself president for life, do you think that will make the situation better or worse?

FakeGreekGirl , 15 hours ago

Even so, still better than a perpetual Trump dictatorship.

If Trump wins, he will, without a doubt, try again to end American democracy. He did before. And whatever you think of our current situation, at least we have a fucking voice right now.

FakeGreekGirl , 14 hours ago

You seem to still be thinking in terms of Trump doing a term and going away. He won't. He proved that on 1/6/2021, and his little jokes and musings now only reinforce it.

I have every expectation that, if Trump manages to become President again, he is not leaving that office until he dies. He will undo American democracy to keep his power. He already tried before.

Biden sucks. Democrats suck. You won't catch me arguing with you there. But Trump is the death of the Republic.

Who needs courts when you have a cult of personality, a lot of whom have organized into paramilitary groups?

Even now, the courts are failing to hold him responsible for what he did. They won't save us. And half of Congress is on his fucking side.

FakeGreekGirl , 10 hours ago

You're preaching to the choir here. Biden is shit. But, again, at least I know he'll go away in 4 years. Trump is going to try his damnedest not to. He already fucking tried once. And frankly, the fact that it's been four years and he's free to try again is proof enough the courts aren't doing enough to stop him. There's a reason they've been pushing all this stuff until after election.

Open your eyes and stop pretending Trump is normal. In nearly 250 years that this country has existed, nobody has tried to pull the shit he's tried to pull, and he will try it again.

THEN STOP WALKING INTO THEIR FUCKING JAWS

FakeGreekGirl , 2 hours ago

And what chance do you think the Democrats are going to have to reform after Donald Trump undoes the entire democratic process and proclaims himself president for life?

He's not going to go away quietly. We know this. He proved it on 1/6, and he's outright saying it out loud again now. Stop pretending he's just another politician. He's a wannabe despot, and we need to not give him another chance to become an actual one.

Look, Biden is garbage. The Democrats are garbage. But at least they're garbage that play by the fucking rules. If Trump wins, I honestly do not believe we are going to get another chance at this.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 4 days ago

I'm not going to say that the rich are just as unhappy as the rest of us, because they'll never know what it is to truly struggle. But take a look at Elon Musk; does he look happy to you? Dude bought and destroyed Twitter because people there wouldn't stop making fun of him, and he still can't stop them. He's driven his daughter out of his life because he can't accept she's trans, which has only made him go even more full on transphobe and bleed over into every other bigoted thought under the sun. He just fucking gutted Tesla, his big pride and joy, because he couldn't stand his "inferiors" talking back to him and trying to stop him from making terrible mistakes. All his victims are undoubtedly struggling more than he is, thanks largely to his capriciousness and evil, but he certainly doesn't look happy to me.

And the funny thing is, he could be absolutely happy if he could let shit go. If I had his money, I wouldn't even bother with all this petty shit; I'd hire people to manage the money, put as much of it into charity work as I could, find some tropical island somewhere, and spend the rest of my life sipping on margaritas and watching sunsets. But he can't help himself. He's incapable of letting go, which stops him from ever being happy.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 3 days ago

Sure, but that just goes back to the original point - he's super weirdly obsessed with greed and hate and being a control freak, and will never be happy no matter how much money he has.

Money can't make you happy, but the lack of money can certainly make you unhappy.

And you think that would be different under Trump?

Trump and Bibi are besties. There wouldn't even be the token resistance Biden puts up; he'd hand Israel enough weapons to turn Gaza into a glass parking lot, and probably would have done the same to Columbia by now.

The thing about it is, Biden can be pressured to, eventually, take steps towards the right thing. Trump cannot; he already sees everyone but himself and his bootlickers as subhuman anyway.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 12 days ago

Ask nicely.

FakeGreekGirl , 12 days ago

Yeah, except in this case it's the megacorp sticking the stick in the spokes and the workers at the studio getting thrown off.

FakeGreekGirl , 12 days ago

Gotta tell you, coming to the Midwest and being exposed to the gas stations here like Quiktrip and Casey's was a revelation. All we had on the west coast was AM/PM, and those guys are hot garbage.

FakeGreekGirl , 13 days ago

I think most people are fine with it as long as you're genuinely trying to make the effort to be better.

It's when your age becomes an excuse to not bother that it becomes a problem.

I mean, clearly she did her research for that movie.

If my life has taught me anything, it's that the rules no longer apply to you when you're rich.

And if the last few months have taught me anything, it's that the greatest crime any American can commit is criticizing Israel about anything ever.

You're not helping your case that you're not a Nazi with that one, you know.

FakeGreekGirl , 17 days ago

You're not defending Jews, you're defending Israel. More specifically, you're defending Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people. And you're using ableist slurs to do it, so nice job.

FakeGreekGirl , 17 days ago

Or like they do with right wing thugs, like the ones that attacked protestors at UCLA.

OK, but what the hell was it actually?

FakeGreekGirl , 18 days ago

They spent six figures on a truck that looks like ass, drives like ass, can't actually do truck things, falls apart in the rain and is the brainchild of the world's biggest douchebag.

FakeGreekGirl , 18 days ago

It's the latter that really seals it, IMHO. The Cybertruck is the most purely Elon vehicle to come out of Tesla, and the first since Elon went full mask-off. Buying it, at great personal expense, and driving it around is basically saying you approve of everything he's doing.

FakeGreekGirl , 19 days ago

Yeah, Mythbusters is fun and interesting, but don't mistake it for a scientific study. IIRC, Adam Savage himself has said they couldn't really apply the level of scientific rigor it would take to actually prove things due to the format of the show.

Still, it is food for thought.

Are we talking just contemporary people? Because John Brown, as a historical figure, is a great inspiration for me.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 28 days ago

Yeah, most people in history say amazing things and then turn out to be fucking monsters. Especially in American history.

But just because they’re awful fucking hypocrites doesn’t mean what they said has no value.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 16 days ago

So all of the groups in the comic have actual legislators passing laws against their ability to express themselves and control their own bodies and relationships, and you're mad some moderator of some online community somewhere told you to go be an asshole somewhere else.

Touch grass.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 16 days ago

No, you're not against bigots and fascist assholes. You're just trying to coopt that language and try to draw a parallel between community moderators moderating their community and bigoted, fascist assholes literally oppressing people. I wasn't born yesterday.
