People who disagree with you are people who never spent time with the ultra rich. I've had the pleasure to hang in those circles and it was absolutely eye opening the complete disdain that social class has toward the working class. It's so fucking crazy that one has to see it for themselves to truly appreciate the hate they have for everyone not in their economic circles.

Preach on brother, but I also understand why the plebs don't believe you

Republicans live in blue states also

But are the wine producers Republicans? I tend to find they are

We spent way more than one Trillion...

Class solidarity of the top 10%. They own the media, they want the Republican agenda of tax cuts, deregulation and whatever else make them more individually wealthy.

It's bottom ~70% who can't seem to figure out what class solidarity is

Nice guy and "nice guy" are two different things

The dictator thing doesn't mean much - the Chinese dictator seems to have the best interest of China, it's economy and it's people at the top of his priorities as far as I can tell, whereas the US's wanna be dictator cares about nothing but to enrich himself and his rich friends - not the long term success of the US or it's citizens.

I would happily resurrect Augustus and have his as the dictator of the US - but the problem with dictators isn't exactly the fact it's a dictator (assuming it's not a bad one), it's more of the fact that succession doesn't really work and you never know what you get next.

After Augustus, Rome had to deal with Tiberius and Caligula, then after Cladius, Rome had to deal with Nero. And so on and so on.

If the Republican/Conservative party wasn't so utterly broken and filled with the absolutely worst fucking people, maybe this democracy thing would work better, but here we are

Never underestimate the stupidity and mental gymnastics of conservatives

I can't speak to "emotional state", but the thottening is a real thing (I've spent weeks trying to stop having all these ass models from cluttering up my feed, it's impossible)

I'm convinced insta knows your a guy and will blast you with reels full of chicks no matter what you do.

Yeah, the Christ fanatics hate science and find science to be their bitter enemy, essentially

Right - first option survive the storm, next option... Murder? Steal? Pillage? (I'm stretching what you said, but it was implied). This is the very possible future we all might be living in, so again to OP's point about spiting your nose/face. Basically I find the moves of Trump to be catastrophic and the potential of where it might lead us is... Horrific
