I’ve always said Trump’s not the hero we need but the villain we deserve. We did this to ourselves, with citizens united, 24 hr “news”, straight up stupidity, and a just really strange sort of egotrip. Conversely my boy Bernie is the hero we needed, for the same reasons.
As to that egotrip. I don’t think losing the Soviet Union was good for us. We need someone to lean into. Those goat spooning terrorist assholes just didn’t cut it adversary wise. China is too foreign to make a truly good enemy. Now we’re just vs. ourselves with predictable outcomes. If only there were a better way.
