This morning I thought about the problem the far right has with reality and what happens when they are faced with it.
Trump’s big point in the debate was that all sorts of “terrible people” are pouring over our borders. They aren’t. But it makes for great sound bites. But what happens if he’s in charge again? What will he do about the false claim if he’s in charge?
We know from prior encounter with the truth and with fact what happens.
In the 2020 election there was a group and an individual charged with making sure there was no cheating in the 2020 election. They found little, a few Republican cheaters but not much. What happened to those folks? I believe they were let go.
There was the false story of a server in Ukraine. Trump asked Zelinsky to look into it. What could he do? There was nothing to look into. It wasn’t there. Trump threatened to withold weapons to Ukraine, and he stalled in doing so. This gave Putin incentive to invade. If we had had a President who faced reality like say Hillary she would have armed Ukraine well ahead of any threatened invasion and it never would have happened.
There was the suggestion of some shenanigans in Italy. Bill Barr as AG and the special counsel investigating Biden went over there on a field trip. Besides this being strange and not really above board in the sense that an AG should stay out of any Special Counsel investigation, they found nothing of what they were looking for. However, they were given evidence that the current at that time President (ie Trump) had committed crimes. What did Barr do? He reported they found evidence of misdeeds, and implied it was Biden who did the misdeeds, then he dropped it.
And now? Now the Supreme Court has made a decision that overturns the basis of agencies making regulations. This has stood for decades, and is the basis for how agencies work. Now? I don’t know. I think it means people like Marjorie Taylor-Greene will be deciding whether vaccines are good and not experts like Dr. Fauci.
The implications are terrifying. Imagine if Trump gets in and MJT is dictating the health options for this country?
If somehow that POS gets elected again, I’m just about done. Withdrawn, unable to deal with any sort of bs that comes along. We have a preview here in Florida of what it is like, and it’s not good.
I never bought into the whole preper lifestyle. I never viewed a future that would justify it. Now I’m reconsidering or thinking of finding sanctuary in foreign lands.
I am trying to picture what life will be under a lying insurrectionist. If he has the same Congress we have now we are done for. I am disappointed the Democrats have not mounted a brisker response to this obvious facial takeover! Where the hell are they? How about the Progressives? Why aren’t they marching in the streets. I am glad I am old and won’t have to see this country in 20 years.. I haven’t mentioned the media because I am so pissed at them. My language might get worse.
