Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

He remains one of the worst humans ever. And the only reason we all know this is because he had the ego to run for president and expose all of us to his gross stupidity, crassness, and incompetence. Had he remained a B-level television personality with moderate wealth, his idiocy would be more compartmentalized to those who know him and had to suffer under him.

More scary, though, is the (near majority electorate) people who watch his scapegoating, insult-filled, fact-less speeches and say “that’s my guy”. To be sure, working-class white Americans need a political voice, but it is quite shocking how quickly Trump’s popularity has resonated with this group (though successive alternatives of H Clinton and J Biden absolutely do not help).
 
A media article on sky on the global dangers of anti science maga candidates gaining, and they still report it from a both sides-ism mentality. Dangerous views on too many topics have been over represented and normalised by lazy ratings chasing journalists and it will be the death toll for the human race.
I can’t find it, but saw a Tweet from somebody the other day that basically said that the political discourse in the US has shifted so far to the right, that we need an ACTUAL communist to run for office somewhere just to provide appropriate contrast and show people that the far left in fact, is not a geriatric old man who wants people to be able to attend college, or see a doctor without it resulting in financial Armageddon for them.

It’s almost inconceivable that Trump has moved the Overton window so far, so quickly that people like Kari Lake, Dr. Oz and Herschel Walker are all probably going to get elected tomorrow.
 
I'd never seen it right up close till the weekend.
We live on a quiet street, the neighbors were getting some siding work done.
We were out front with our kid playing on the street when this contractor drives down in an enormous chevy truck, hummer sized or bigger.
He has two massive flags sticking out the back, one says FJB and the other some sort of 'don't thread on me' variation.
His truck can barely make it down the one way street without almost taking wing mirrors off the parked cars.
He gets to our house and sees there's no street parking so just blocks our car in to our driveway, hops out, leaves the thing idling on a beautiful day.
Walks straight past us to the neighbors and just scowls at us like it's our fault there's no where he can park his monster truck.
His T shirt says F*** your feelings and the F word is made out of AR15's.
He has Trump tattoos.
Our neighbors, an older working class couple think he's great, he's got the job. He'll be back soon.
Oh joy.
Meanwhile this week my kid who's still not 4 has to do his first lockdown drill at school.

I'm raging at how all this is the norm.
No one is questioning it.
