Yeah, but they don't care. They don't want a competent and coherent president. They want Trump, because he hates the same people they hate, and he's not afraid to say so.

The teams don't play by the same rules and never have.

It's not those people we have to worry about. It's the ones in the middle who sway one way or another. They care enough that Trump lost last time.

It’s the ones in the middle who sway one way or another. Trump is being ungracious by continuing to post about how horrible Biden has been (in his opinion). Its very un-presidential on Trump's part, and shows the real lack of class that he is well known for. This is the kind of thing that pushes people in the middle one way or the other. It also demonstrates that he has trouble keeping his mouth shut even when he know that running his mouth is going to hurt him.

They just want a king.

Not a government that they have to be involved in.

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Depends who is "they".

Hicks - maybe yes.

Suits - they want a king in the constitutional monarchy sense, so that he wouldn't mess with them doing what they want.

For me all the news in the world since Artsakh war in 2020 just seem depressing and a prelude to something really bad, so I'm inadequate. And never been in the new world anyway.

I just call them authoritarians.

Yeah, but they don't understand that.
