Its interezting the degree to which trump influences even governments which wpuld consider themselves appalled by him. They still take the extra leeway his behaviour grants tbem
yeah he's reset the rules of the game. this is a turning point for the world. a major historical shift

Can turn naughty
Genuinely fascinated by how the dudes watch their country turn into a sadistic sado state and go o its actually ok we can just build our own windmill or something

What is there to actually be done though. So many things nowadays make me think of Curtis' Oh Dearism. So much shit has been witnessed now that there's this layer of numbness over everything and all that's left to do is stand aside and say oh dear.

Revolt would be good but how?

It's been pretty great to watch the bullying take Elon down. That's been very satisfying, but he's kind of an easy target. What about the rest of them.

I mean it's a literal different way of looking at things.

I felt like America, on my most recent visit, was basically here but a bigger land mass. More spread.

Whereas before the contrast between here and there was more temporal: "10 years ahead".

Now, to me, it's not like you can say something like America is ahead. It's something else.

It may just be down to a particular slant in the reporting, but I'm starting to get the impression he doesn't actually know much of what's going on. Maybe he's getting all the information and just refuses to accept anything he doesn't like, but it may also be that he's surrounded himself with so many yes-men he's more or less out of the loop.

Isn't this what happens to all (actual or would-be) dictators? Nobody wants to tell the big boss that their plans are unworkable, or that policies already put in place are failing, for fear of losing their job, or worse.

Or even that policies are unpopular with the public. Trump was claiming the other day to have an approval rating in the 70s, when even Fox has aired a survey showing him to have net negative ratings on every policy area, but it's possible he really believes that, I suppose.

Apparently he wants the negative polling investigated because he seemingly can't believe anyone would genuinely have a problem with the job he's doing.

He was ranting about some alleged "leftist pollster" making up fake poll numbers at Fox, apparently.

Which is totally plausible, I mean you know what a hotbed of woke Marxist leftism Fox News is, right?

Think mathematically, not emotionally! make your funkiness more mathematic.
