They will never acknowledge it unless they are made to

That and HAARP directed energy weapon

This reminds me of the fact that Desantis was in the room watching people torture prisoners at Guantanamo

There is no MAHA, just a bunch of gullible idiots

Yeah he did that shit keep it in the news

They’re not idiotic, they have to pretend to do something opposing the Republicans while they help them transfer all the wealth to the rich and start imperial wars around the world, otherwise normal people might catch on and do something about it.

All those men lost in the jungle and now we’re giving credibility to the Viet Cong. We truly have fallen.

Obama and Clinton are Ivy League educated and they very likely wouldn’t know either, but they wouldn’t venture to pontificate on it because they aren’t narcissistic liars. Well, not especially pathological ones, anyway. Trump can’t help it.

“If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.” -Francis of Assisi

The only way the threat could be more existential is if he was sending Einsatzgruppen to execute people in the streets.

There was this asshole Bob Odekirk who was the mayor of Joliet, IL, it would have been hilarious if Bob Odenkirk ran against him, but he got booted.

When you think about these problems, you have to separate your personal experience from what you observe happening to the whole system.

…I think they do. I think they believe it. We’re not talking about tremendously wealthy and insulated people here.

In this case I think it’s more of a “the last economic crisis didn’t effect me so I’ll be fine or even profit if it happens again” situation. I get the sense that some of them even hope it’ll happen again to put the dregs back in their place. They don’t seem to be willing to acknowledge anything going on at a global scale to isolate the contagion of the United States economic and foreign policies. They can’t acknowledge the conventional agreed function of something as rudimentary as trade deficits, or the predictable outcomes of applying scattershot tariffs. They are totally delusional and I know they were taught this stuff in college even if they’re just PEG bros or lenders. It’s really fucking scary magical thinking that ignores some glaring lessons of history.

I’m amazed by the number of “very serious people” I’ve met in the corporate finance world who think this man is not an idiot. It’s like a movie where aliens take over people’s bodies and I’m starting to identify them one by one. I’m talking about well educated people. It has really taken me aback.

I’ve never subscribed to this generational hatred, as true as it is that the boomers voted for this shit, on account of it’s clearly a deliberate psyop “divide and conquer” campaign. It’s as obvious as the crack epidemic or redlining.
