    It’s sort of amusing that the profound psychological issues that make him the most corrupt POTUS in history, the most self-absorbed POTUS in history, the most dishonest POTUS in history and the most deranged POTUS in history also make him the most tone-deaf POTUS in history.

      At least I know he is always fucking miserable that he doesn’t have more. (More money, more popularity, more praise)

      We better hurry up and do something about it because history is written by the winners

        History is only written by the winners when the winners benefit their civilization.

        When, as has consistently happened in the latter days of past civilizations and as will be the case if Trump and the oligarchs and their fascist tools win, the winners solely benefit themselves and thus ultimately destroy their civilization, history is written by third parties.

            … Because China is working to benefit their civilization. When that ceases to be the case their people will stop listening.

                The general attitude of the people in China disagrees. I guess we can try to tell them we know better as we strip civil society down and burn the rest.

                  The general attitude is controlled by the CCP, as we know. Any dissent is quickly dealt with to maintain a hive mind that aligns with the CCP.
