    That is literally his plan. He said it out loud, again?! What will it take for you imbeciles to stop him!! Do you like America? Because you are going to be the pariah of the world and the next Russia if you don’t do something about it. Get used to it or get up.

    Jfc… I guess I owe The Boys an apology. I thought they were laying it on a bit thick with the Homelander=Trump connections, but I guess not.

    Some voters somehow looked this idiot and said ‘nope, no point casting my vote…’

    Bystander effect on a national scale

    “I can destroy the country” ??? Change to “I am destroying your country, I have no allegiance except to the golden calf.”.

    If our country can be destroyed by any President, that means that there is no longer sufficient separation of powers, and that our federal government is completely worthless.

    He is so ignorant of his job and real duties that he doesn’t even realize this. He believes it, and he believes that he is righteous. That’s because he’s a narcissist who’s never had to go shopping for groceries, who’s never had to make his own dinner, who’s never had to clean his own house, who’s never had to even work for a living.

    He is completely detached from reality, and him being President shows how rotten our government has become. He could NEVER be elected in anything resembling a functioning Republic.

      Well, to be quite honest, it also shows how rotten our so-called Western civilization has become. This man not only got elected, but millions upon millions of people thought it would be a great idea to reelect him - after Jan 6th and everything.

      And that’s not even an exclusively American problem. Look at Europe. Even with better education and safer social security, way too many people vote for far-right populists.

      Before Corona, I still had hopes for us as a species. Despite all the religious nonsense, the racism, the bigotry, the hate, the wars, everything. I thought sensible people were a safe majority. I thought it takes extraordinary circumstances, the proverbial perfect storm, to plunge a society into chaos.

      Well, I know better now. I’m 49 and with any luck, I’ll have 30 more years on this planet, maybe I get lucky and there will be no wars on my doorstep. I’m utterly, utterly disappointed in mankind, I would almost go as far as to say I root for its demise. I have no kids, I don’t feel like I have a horse in this race anymore anyway.

      And Trump is the epitome of everything wrong with us.

      There never was a sufficient separation of powers. This and the much-vaunted checks and balances, it turns out, only exist if the person in the White House consents to them existing, and consents to being under the rule of law.

      Maybe. Even assuming you live to a ripe old age, Trump only has to keep going a couple more years until AI is going to be indistinguishable from actual footage. Keep Trump holed up in Mar-a-Lago for “security reasons” and he never needs to die. He can remain president-for-life.

        Eh. We’ve had the capacity to fake footage for a long, long time. Con-artists were faking UFO sightings in the 50s and fooling people. Skeptics were questioning holocaust photos and 9/11 footage a generation ago and straight up denying dashcam footage of police brutality straight into the modern moment.

        AI can fake a particular moment and whip people up, but it can’t stand any serious interrogation or follow-up. It is only good at showing people what they were already primed to believe.

          Oh sure. I’m not saying it would need to stand up to any scrutiny. But the truth is getting less and less relevant.

          And honestly, if an eternal AI Trump managed to deliver on the economy, and not deport too many white immigrants, it would probably be a shoe-in for decades to come, regardless of how implausible it was.
