I think you missed a zero.

"He tells it like it is! "

In my experience, no. But by all means try. Maybe you can plant a seed of doubt that grows.

Be Socratic though. Fewer facts, more questions.

Hey, you can’t hold him responsible for things he doesn’t remember saying! /s

That’s what crossed my mind. My work is pushing this hard, including letting it read email, build PowerPoints, etc…

And now it’s just for entertainment?

Religiosity has been in decline in the US, hopefully the ultra performative sect that’s influencing him makes it happen even faster.

I don’t think facts would have helped you. This isn’t something they reasoned their way into. You’re not going to reason them out.

Motto for the current admin: “it’s only ok when we do it”

Meanwhile, in Canada we’re getting generic ozempic. So kinda going the other way on that. Although it wasnt anything our government did, they just forgot to file paperwork.

My fault for being helpful before I suppose.

Many years ago I worked tech support for a software company. I had one caller who could not conceive that our software couldn’t print to two printers at once. She didn’t want to print to one then the other. She just kept repeating “this is the 21st century” whenever I tried to explain.

The leadership of the country waging the war are saying completely opposing things, to be fair.

The war is over, it’s not a war, no troops, but we’re moving troops. We don’t need allies, send allies, allies are cowards, all sorts of things.

The author completely misses the point. Trump does in fact represent you. That’s how your system works.

But beyond that, the problem is deeper than him. He’s a symptom, not the disease. If the vaunted checks and balances worked, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. If there were a meaningful opposition, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. There were countless failures along the way that allowed the situation to get to where it is.

Even if you elect someone sane next time, there’s no guarantee it won’t happen again.

Didn’t they get the news? He said it’s mostly over! If they don’t listen he might tarrif them! Then where will they be?
