We haven't voted for a president who uses computers since 2008.

  • So first term Obama did, but second term Obama did not? Am I understanding that right?

    • While your point is technically not wrong, it's not uncommon to consider and refer to the administration as a whole as the presidential count does not increment for consecutive terms. I'm guessing you knew this though, and we appreciate your bravery in being the pedantic one in a thread.

The country is being run by an unholy cabal of crooks, cranks, and creeps who are using a nasty senile old man as a media distraction.

Google how many members of Trump's cabinet are employees of Fox/Murdoch.

There's nothing stupid about this. It's a traitorous attack on the fundamentals of freedom and democracy - a cynically planned and calculated attempt to replace a modern administrative state with a neo-aristocratic oligarchy that considers itself above any law, accountability, or morality.

Trump himself can barely finish his sentences. I have no doubt what's left of his mind approves of what's being done in his name, but I also have no doubt he has less of a mind than the media are showing.

  • There's definitely a problem with gerontocracy, but the reason you heard about it so much last year is because the fascists use the technique of projection to preempt criticisms of themselves. Biden was passive demented, which probably didn't really matter all that much (group project). But this was used as cover for Trump's active combative micromanaging dementia that we're now all suffering.

    • Couldn't this backfire pretty badly, though? Raising a national conversation about the dementia of the last President makes it easier to have a conversation about the current one, right? I think the fact that the MSM outright lied to cover up Biden's mental decline is actually the root of the problem, because now they've lost credibility and appear hypocritical if they try to point out Trump's glaring mental deficits. If you're contending that the fascists pushed the issue of Biden's decline because they knew the MSM would cover it up and therefore lose credibility, I think you're giving them too much credit.
