  • I have little doubt that the country will end up as some version of Trump’s authoritarian state. The question is the timing.

    I actually think that our best chance of avoiding it (in the long run) is another Trump victory. He will make those changes so abruptly that people will react far more strongly than if we slid into an authoritarian state gradually. I mean…think about the possibility of Trump having won in 2020. The DNC would have to accept that they need to nominate a truly progressive candidate, and people would be demanding change immediately. Instead, we’re justifying Biden/Harris again because they’re not Trump.













  • Didn’t say it was hard. To be clear…by saying “well enough,” I mean that I don’t have any major problems with it…I’m just no expert. I find that there are two many pointless “utilities” that only slow the machine down. Both of my last two (brand new) computers have had both Windows and Ubuntu installed before adding anything else. There’s actually still nothing on the Windows partitions, but whenever I switch to it, it’s like switching from a car to a bicycle. It’s ridiculous how Windows can be so, so slow “right out of the box,” while Ubuntu just works.



  • He could be right, but it will come down to how the other Republican candidates handle it. If they get behind him and portray him as a martyr, there are certainly enough gullible ® voters to deliver the election. We’ll just need to see if the (D) turnout is strong enough to overcome that. On the other hand, if they unite against him, he’ll lose the nomination, run independently, and split the ® vote.

    Option A is far more likely. We’ve seen over and over again that facts, legality, and consistency don’t matter, but appointing judges does. A disgraced scumbag that appoints who he’s told to appoint is infinitely more important than having “principles” without power.
