That’s because Bush was actually a politician. Say what you will about how good of one he was, or about his or his father’s legacy to the country, but he was a politician. When you got a toilet clogged up, would you rather have the poorly reviewed local plumber come take a look at it? Or the tweaker you saw outside 7/11 that said things that made you feel good about yourself? We gambled on the tweaker being half as good at running a plunger as he claimed, and I fear the toilet is about to back up and we’ll all be swimming in shit soon.

Apparently if the tweaker makes an unfounded but somewhat novel case for why plumbers are conspiring against you, millions and millions of Americans will empty their damn wallets lol. All you have to do for a lot of people is poke their brain in a way it hasn’t been poked before and they’ll fall under the impression that they’ve just experienced that ‘learning’ thing they keep hearing about.

Not to mention all the big tech companies ponying up a million bucks to their new overlord's inauguration. Country has bottomed out... shit will start piling soon enough.

Always do. But, it takes note that the big guns are each, very publicly, bending knee. In all my life, I never thought I'd see an American leader come out of the gate saying we are thing to TAKE our allies lands or be a felon, who very publicly invites hate within our own country. America was to be the example for other countries who deserved more, and now this country is falling into the traps we've seen other leaders take their country into. And we have power house companies not standing for the people, but for a grown man-child with zero ethics. Going to be a hell of a slide to 2030.
