For context, Dick Cheney announced that he’ll be voting for Kamala Harris.

Yeah, there's the effect Cheney and his gang all having American supremacy as their goal, with them and their corporate fuck-buddies specifically on top of the heap. In their own particularly fucked kind of way, they did care about America or something.

Trump and his ilk... They believe in fucking NOTHING. I'm not even convinced their goal, at its core, is even self-enrichment. I'm pretty well convinced the whole movement is just extremely self-destructive mental illness metastasisized into a political party.

I'm almost certain it's not. There are so many easier ways to unjustly enrich yourself in this country.

I think you're right. People sometimes underestimate the power of culture and popular delusions. They rarely make the fire on their own, but they are one fucking hell of an accelerant.

I doubt any two of Trump's team members have the same goals. It's like a clown car full of grifters, con men, psychopaths, power seekers and snake oil salesmen.
