This is just next level.

I too always like it when I get to choose who oppresses me, makes it feel so much better./s

    I view it the same way. Trump is wildly less competent at managing the Imperial state. He is heavy handed and helps radicalize those on the fence by taking the mask off. He actively undermines American "soft power" across the world. Those are all good things from the perspective of lessening American influence around the world imo

      I'm sorry, no love for Dems but this is another level of cope and mental gymnastics. Trump did not soften any American power. If anything he crested a wave of right wing electoral victories across the world and emboldened white supremacist, Nazi, and transphobic messaging.

      Trump radicalized people... To vote for Biden!! People got radicalized to vote for a right wing old senile white man who sniffs kids instead of a far right old senile white man who raped 14yo's. Trump was not a victory for radicalizing people to the left - Trump put the world decades behind in social progress.

      If Trump wins but Project 2025 doesn't cement GOP power the way the Christian nationalist power fantasy thinks it will, we're gonna get another fucking Biden all over again. Radicalized to slightly left of far right.

        Brexit happened before trump was elected, thats arguably thr start of the right wing victories in the anglosphere. The colonies are just tailing the old country. But really this point is silly because the laat time there were good western governments was the 1940s.

        I do agree that trump getting in made people being open bigots more comfortable, but our leaders have been saying the same shit with dog whistles for decades.
