The fundamental essence of the liberal, American/European political systems of the past few decades is their ability to string along voters by forcing them into a fake and ardently homosexual political dichotomy in which two equally bad choices are presented. On the fundamental level the two political factions agree, but for the sake of either sport or spectacle they will make a big whoop about a few hot rod issues and will use it as a basis for WWE style kayfabe fake fighting akin to the current culture war being fought now. Of course the voter is powerless in this matter, no matter whom they pick things will get worse and continue to get worse. Voting on any level except the local level becomes a gigantic coping mechanism by which people can decompress and ease their sense of utter helplessness at the hands of this system which is very much in control of the rich & powerful.Whelp. I had hoped Trump would at least give us mass deportations and healthy food. The deportations are slow and disorganized, and I guess RFK is more worried about Israel than getting red 40 out of children's cereal. But this Epstein shit is really fucked. It's not just that they're delaying again, it's Trump's attitude about it, snapping at people because we care about child rape victims. Trump was the last ditch choice for a lot of his voters. This may be setting us down a dark road. I still think a lot of you guys are crazy and Hogan is a shitlib, but I'll admit, I did not see the backstab coming on the Epstein issue. Holy shit. I don't see myself voting for anyone anymore.
Yet in 2016, Trump comes along and the same old tired WWE kayfabe gets a much needed reboot. Instead of a Bush and a Kerry pretending to argue against one another on the national stage, you get Trump. The perfect kind of actor to reinvigorate the bread and circuses that is politics so that the masses become reinvested. Those who hate Trump for his lolcow behavior & terrible policies are enraged and become reinvested in the system so they can put a stop to him. The duped MIGApedes, so terribly beaten and broken down by decades of things getting inarguably worse they'll twist themselves into a pretzel in order to push Trump into office. Desperation is their greatest weakness in this regard. Rather than bite down and realize the gravity of the entire situation and the corruption of the political system, they'd rather get high on hopium to assuage their fears. Like the fentanyl addict tweaking out in a rank alley somewhere, they'll keep hoping and coping so long as they don't have to recognize the filth around them.
But the cracks are starting to show, cracks which go starkly against the great mythos that has been conjured around this perfect conman. Slowly but surely with broken promise after promise the MAGA dupe starts to realize that something is wrong. Most will go back to 'the cave' so to speak, but the Trump supporter who has had their heart in it the entire time will eventually realize the game being played. That Trump is no god, that there is no 'savior' on either side of the aisle coming to save them.
And that's when the fun begins.
