It was most especially his greed and shortsightedness that facilitated the death of over a million Americans. A curse upon him.
Somewhere in the heart of Texas, I endure. Interests: reading, flute, Braille, knitting, yoga, cats, tarot, PC games, bad movies, good movies, getting wrinkles, and irritating the powerful by being shrill and unladylike. She/her.

hugged another American flag in 2020, said there was nothing he trusted as much as our *American* science and medical experts because they were heroes, and he would have been re-elected a la Bush in a landslide.
sandshad (@sandersothom.bsky.social)
It’s the deliberate inculcation of lies and distrust in medical science for personal gain that led us to this path. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if Trump had a brain larger than a peanut, he could have

If we make it to the year 2055, I’ll be interested to read scholarly articles about anti-public health enthusiasts and their rise in our government. Masking and vaccines are such fringe, extremist measures against destructive pathogens, pfft, who needs ‘em.

an absolute disaster (economic, or mortality-wise, pandemic, war) so that people care enough to push for the needed change. We have to look at voting percentages and current complacency with the status quo. People are just letting fascism happen in real time 🤷🏼♀️

it will have to have the other two branches take back power from the Executive to give the people back more of their voice. The population is so apathetic, though. It’s not a good situation. We’re either committed via inertia (his death) to a tame, half hearted righting of the ship or
sandshad (@sandersothom.bsky.social) reply parent
I think hope is all we have. But I don’t think righting itself is possible. We will have to push for a robust legislative overhaul, and ideally, a review of the Constitution and S.C. that have overly empowered the Executive over the course over generations. If this government is to survive,

The importance will be for opposing parties to push for laws to *never* allow a Trump to step into power again. And this is the best case scenario if he dies. If he doesn’t we’re talking puppet fascism for years.

and trying to appease independents, by rolling back the extreme deportations. They’ll keep what they love, which are the tax cuts to billionaires. They love the power and they’ll want the status quo but without the appearance of overt fascism.

Hmm. If he dies…and I don’t think he’ll be that obliging, or we’ll be that lucky, the evil have a notorious habit for lingering… I think there will be a lot of excuses and dithering. An attempt to backtrack on the extreme policies while simultaneously defending them

Genuinely don’t care. He could pass peacefully in his sleep and I’ll be just as happy. The result will be the same, a better place tomorrow, a delightful vacuum filled with mourning idiots and directionless sycophants trying to figure out how to hold the reins of power without Dear Leader.

We’re all dying, but I hope he’s dying much more quickly than the rest of us. As in the next few days. Thoughts and prayers, right? The last decade has hardened me in ways I never imagined. But I swear I will outlive him.

I’m not actually worried about MA because they have an independent and bipartisan commission to draw legislative and congressional district lines since 2018. TX’s GOP legislature gets to draw the lines all alone.

The really interesting part of this is that he thinks firing the messenger is going to make his problems go away. There are independent agencies that also keep track of this information. There is also reality to contradict any numbers his administration barfs out. This will not be pleasant.
