š Global: Total confirmed cases ~3,911,000; Total deaths: ~273,000; Total recoveries: ~1,306,000. (Johns Hopkins University)
Iām hoping someone here can explain a puzzling dynamic to me. Iāve noticed that Trump Supporters have an interestingly common pattern of defending him, never by actually defending him, but by instead attacking the questioner, or Biden, or even Obama. Itās to the point where if itās a a stranger on some social media, itās hard to differentiate a ālegitimateā Trump Supporter from a Russian Troll Farm worker.
If Biden has an accuser, thatās a TERRIBLE thing; so, the obvious solution is to vote for a guy with twenty-five accusers, who brags about grabbing womenās genitals, cheated on his wife with a porn star while she was giving birth to his son, and later paid hush money to said porn star, doesnāt believe in science, and has over 17,000 documented lies on record?
I meanā¦a few nutjobs, I could understand, but weāre talking about around 40% of our voting public here.
Think thatās what it is? My old college roommateās one of them, and heās Chinese.
Oh itās definitely plain old fascism. Itās that old American fascism thatās existed since the beginning. Our parties are so polarized, extremism has become rationalized by the Trumpists.
It is strange though, the cult of personality of the followers. You are correct, they deflect and justify any criticism, Iāve been a moderator on here since the community began in ā17 and I have yet to find a counter that works effectively on them. They donāt care that it doesnāt make sense. They donāt care about the facts. They just donāt like to be challenged.
The only thing that gets them to stop trolling is to laugh at them. Yup. Laughing.
Well, yeah, you make a very good point. That polarization keeps getting more and more so, so weāre supposed to be either all the way over THEREā¦or all the way over HEREā¦with a HUGE gap in the middle.
Thing is, this really stopped being a Democrat/Republican thing some time ago, but many donāt seem to acknowledge that. Itās about a nut job who doesnāt believe in facts or science, doesnāt care about the effects of what he says. and couldnāt tell the truth to save his life. Could you imagine the founder of Reaganomics, even with all the issues thatās created for us, blatantly lying all the time? I canāt imagine THAT wouldāve gone over very well back then. And now, even Dubyaās trying to make a call for unity.
Meanwhile, there was some recent news (you know, some REAL news) that by 2070, just fifty years from now, billions of people will be subjected to nearly unlivable heat. Now, Iāll very likely be long gone by then, butā¦too bad weāre not globally trying to figure out what to do about that to ensure our continued existence, instead of arguing about conspiracy theories about whoās responsible for the Coronavirus.
I can see some day, when interplanetary travelās a reality, Earth will be a subject in other planetsā history books about what happens when one doesnāt take care of ones home.
Aināt that the truth! shakes head sadly
gentle reminderā¦

Yeah, thanks, I understand.

Ya know, after trying to explore this thing from a bunch of different angles and sources, it always seems to come back to exactly what youāre saying here. Pretty sad, isnāt it, that after all these years itās still coming back to this?
Word is, at our current level of environmental degradation, by 2070, billions of people will be living inā¦or TRYING to be living inā¦places too hot for human habitation. Thatās just fifty years from now. But what are we arguing about? What color the wall for keeping Mexicans out should be.
Trump spent all day blasting out conspiracy theories and lies about Obama and Clinton, getting Obamagate trending. They donāt care what he does, so long as he hurts and attacks the people they hate. Some believe everything he says, but others actually celebrate when he lies, because heās lying to and about people they hate.
The reality of white supremacy in America we white folks have pretended wasnāt really there for extremely too long now.
Does ANYBODY see any similarities between this, and Adolf Hitler with Nazi Germany? Thatās what Hitler did, he just kept bombarding his crazy-ass ideas to is people until they started getting numb to it and started following him. Such weak-minded people.
