we got rid of ours
like its not exceedingly likely trump or someone similar will run and win in 2024. libs have no object permanence
The GOP had been flirting with crazy since Pat Buchanan ran in 1992.
Trump was the dog that finally caught the car. But he was also his own special kind of creature. Michael Bloomberg and Steve Forbes couldn't recreate what Trump did. Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum couldn't recreate what Trump did. Sarah Palin didn't even bother to try, she just took every outstretched hand and grifted it. We're not going to see "another Trump" any time soon, because Trump was exceptional in a way none of these other idiots and assholes are.
We're far more likely to get another George Bush Jr or Mitt Romney than a Trump in 2024. And that candidate has a very good chance of winning nationally, by vaguely echoing Trumpian populism while still towing the neo-conservative line. But we're not going to have another Twitter President in the near future. Nobody that cool will win again for a long while.
Standards for regime change getting so low we might just say fuck it and coup ourselves
I get the impression the third world has almost unanimously had it and is super de duper not interested a redo trauma of the trauma caused by the first cold war.
Imagine if she actually meant it or cared about the people of brazil, rather than just posturing and grifting.
Actually, I still think it is one of our last options as humans to have an international interventionist response to ecological preservation.
That is, if Brazil (as one example) can't prevent and actually actively destroy on of the most important carbon sinks (Amazon rainforest), how long until the international community relieves them of that responsibility as an act of self preservation?
I'd be more comfortable if a country like China did that, rather than the US. Their reforestry program is already making huge strides in stopping and even reversing desertification.
Oh yes, it was China I was thinking of. The US would carpet bomb the rainforest if it was acceptable.
the us literally supported the car wash operation that removed bolsonaro main rival from the ballot like COME ON NOW FUCK OFF
Do you even listen to the podcast? TrueAnon did an episode on this just a few weeks ago.
My mistake. I was thinking of the Trash Future episode.

TrueAnon did have a Brazil episode back in June: https://www.stitcher.com/episode/70765968 Also with Vincent Bevins, curiously enough. But it's a bit dated.
So Putin is the boogeyman for any politician the wealthy nations dislike?
At least we're seeing some pushback and a growing narrative of not just incompetence but a lack of any kind of plan or goal. Foreign policy is completely rudderless and bi-partisan. Even my lib family see it.
the "esq." stands for "esquece da gente, gringa filha da puta, vai cuidar do teu país aí"
