pointing out the insanity of the MAGA cult is hardly complaining , if you want an echo chamber then Truth Social is probably more fitting for ya

i dont want an echo chambers and i dont want or expect you to stop complaining. i'd prefer, for your mental health not mine, that you admit you're bothered. but maybe its actually more healthy for you to disassociate and pretend its all just amusing to you.

ive always found that mentality particularly deranged. Trump is an "authoritarian", "the next hitler", "a threat to democracy" etc etc etc. but also you just sit back and laugh? unless you're a nihilist that's mental illness.

it is troubling that so many Americans are dumb enough to be swept up by the MAGA cult, yes. is there anything I can do about it? hardly. Im not capable of deprogramming the indoctrinated - especially those who are incapable of thinking for themselves

the American collective will, at some point, have to face its shadow. just like Germany did

We see plenty of rational, well adjusted people on PARD who support Trump either vaguely or overtly and are willing to be challenged on their beliefs, engage on the issues and discuss the fine points of politics. People of a diverse set of views and backgrounds, of even temperament. Then we've got some shit flinging gibbons with no interest in explaining themselves or facing criticism, only in seething over the loss. Militancy without philosophy. Where are the cultists to be found?

ok who?

it is troubling that so many Americans are dumb enough to be swept up by the anti-Trump cult. Is there anything I can do about it? hardly. I'm not capable of deprogramming the indoctrinated - especially those who are incapable of thinking for themselves.

The MSM has formed their opinion for them, Trump Russian spy, Trump Hitler. Now, 9 years later, they're acting like good little cultists, still following orders. These morons put Trump in their avatar, their signature, & will literally never stop talking about him. It's like a cult.

From an outsiders perspective -

Donald Trump was not starting wars. Joe Biden, through diplomacy, could have averted the war in Ukraine.
Joe Biden stood by while American children were being battered by Israeli thugs.
Donald Trump will probably aid Israel, but it was on Joe Biden's watch that the world called the president of America a Genocide Enabler.
Joe Biden's border policy was and remains a fiasco.
Donald Trump was elected on a mandate of make american great again.
Donald Trump has good Relations with Putin, in that he can pick up the phone.
Joe Biden refused to talk to Russia and China for years and is trying to start WW3.
The world did not end under Donald Trumps' previous presidency.

Kamala Harris has no brain, Joe Biden is all of his 82 years.
Donald Trump is a flawed person but the alternative would see WW3. No thanks. so ye, MAGA.

Kamala harris is contaminated by association with Joe Biden. Neither Kamala or Joe Biden were good candidates. Kamala has no personality at all and does not make decisions. The democrats have only themselves to blame, just like the republicans will only have themselves to blame in 4 years time if they dont find a winner after trump.


TLDR

If geopolitical stability and avoidance of war are the primary criteria:

Donald Trump’s presidency appears more stable in terms of avoiding direct conflict and maintaining a lower risk of escalation with major powers.
Joe Biden’s administration has been more proactive in confronting adversaries, but this approach has heightened the risk of conflicts, particularly with Russia and China.

I predicted years and years ago that the only solution to the intractable problem colloquially referred to as TDS could only be solved with state programs of work & education colonies

However, a miracle which could occur (there is evidence of this now) has problem effectively "solve itself" by the TDS-afflicted choosing to willingly remove themselves from the societal equation, be this by suicide, spaying themselves, or withdrawing from society entirely. The third example here however poses its own problems as they are dependents, either supported by the taxpayer or wealthy patrons e.g. their parents. This is a massive drain on the economy which poses it's own problems.

At the end of the day, TDS is in effect an extinctionist death cult which glorifies acts of self harm and the murder of their own children in the name of their god Gaia.

cosplaying as a 1930s german is such an odd collective mental illness for modern US liberals.

honestly more unhealthy than people into pro wrestling. its ego personified to imagine you're in a time anywhere near as pivotal as that, you're not. trump's going to do things, he wont fundamentally change how the US system works. he's not going to topple democracy or usher in an authoritarian regime. if you think he will you're an unhinged person who ignores reality in favor of online sensationalism. the election is over and that sensationalism didnt win, leave it there for a few years until midterms.
