there's a pretty substantial part of me that believes this too, but I simply cannot afford the mental energy to be preoccupied with it. I choose the peaceful yet vomitous conclusion that he won fair and square
it's also the fact that two teams are literally on opposite sides of the continent and the travel takes a while. I'm guessing they didn't play last night so as to not compete with the NBA
the bigger question is do we need another tampon-in-president-form ala Biden or someone who actually tries to 180 this? I think we have plenty of the former, I'm not sure who the latter would be.
this is where I am at. it's way too early to get hopped up on one candidate or another. we still have 18 months till the midterms and things could look markedly different - or abysmally worse - by then. I have a feeling someone will emerge that is popular to the right people, enough to at the very least put a pause on this slide into fascism
because it's not leadership at all. being the head of something is not leadership. being the face of something is not leadership. being a blustery fool who coerces people into doing things is not leadership. having kompromat (real or imagined) and blackmailing people into doing what you want is not leadership. it's literally everything but that. but anyway, I'm done on this. we're all dumbasses and our mods are all knowing and we should be grateful for their leadership. lol.
then maybe don't use that word. the english language has a nearly endless supply of nouns. Try manipulator. Perhaps mobster. Bully also comes to mind. If you want to add an adjective, maybe try strong man, although that connotes things about him that aren't true. have fun with it. there's lots of things our president can be called, but a leader is not one of them.
you are massively conflating leadership with authoritarianism/dictatorship. what dotard exhibits is not leadership - not even in the slightest. he coerces, strongarms, or outright lies and manipulates people to get his way. you need to open your eyes, man
also where the fuck our our 2A fanbois decrying the President siccing the National Guard and Marines on civilians? Here's that fucking tyranny you've been waiting for. Go show them!
fucking this. conservatives hate current america because it isn't lily white with a bunch of subservient brown people running around fetching shit for them. that america is gone, and we've been trying to them that for a while now.
lol, right? hell, even the single shot 20ga I learned to shoot with as a kid would sometimes stick when opening to pull the spent shell and those are designed to be basically idiot-proof
