My theory is that Covid killed everyone and this is purgatory. (TikTok screencap)

Sometimes I really think 2019 was the last normal year of our lives and we are now in some alternate reality where nothing makes sense and everyone is insane.

The worst the obama administration got was a typical couple of weeks of the Trump administration. It is so much worse now it's unthinkable it could have gotten this bad when looking from the perspective of 2015.

    Your mistake is viewing trump not as the obvious fash continuation of the state/capitalism but as some kind of unique magical monster.

    That's how we got here.

    Trump is a unique magical monster. There isn't anyone else that can act the way he does. He has a personality disorder that cannot be copied by any average intelligent person. There isn't anyone else with near that type of wealth and social immaturity. No other adult has ever acted like he does that didn't have a mental disorder.

    Others try to copy him but are easy to see through as they cannot bring themselves to act like he would. Ramaswamy tried but is just too mature and of normal intelligence. You need a child(with a disorder) in an adult body with 100% total and complete confidence in itself. A complete narcissist.

    There has never been anyone like him before as anyone with his type of childlike behavior would have been dismissed.

    I'd like to introduce you to Andrew Jackson....

    An orphan with limited education became a successful military leader who spoke intelligently. About the opposite of Trump. Both are clearly evil yet one is childlike while the other is not.

    Andrew Jackson was a literal psychopath, and came up with the ideology of just ignoring court rulings.

    Yet his personality is nothing at all like Trump. Jackson would not be able to lower himself to say the idiotic types of immature things Trump would say. Jackson truly believed in his horrid views. Trump takes whatever view he sees gets him the most attention/power/money regardless of the view and will change it as needed.
