Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[PaulP]

I tend to agree Paul; and how could a person of good faith support someone who they believe is unfit for office?

I guess he’s a bit like JD Vance in that the latter went from vehement opposition to running mate in the blink of an eye.

I think that expediency and an eye for the main chance is more acceptable in US politics.

One of McConnell’s statements that did ring true was where he said that Aurangzeb supporters tended to be less successful and believe that they’ve been cheated.  That certainly seems to be the case with at least 90% of the MAGA supporters that I have seen interviewed … unless the “fake news” media only puts to air those that are as dumb as dog sh1t ?

The grievances that the American working class have with the Democrats and Republicans are very real and very justified. I don't blame the public for feeling abandoned and cheated - they have been. But neither party is committed to addressing the issues, and when you throw in the dismantling of education, social services, bought politicians on both sides, News Ltd., the NRA, culture wars, a figure like Trump is the inevitable result. When the real world is untenable, then you resort to fantasy.
