Seriously, they are both former military, my dad was in for like 30 years, how do they like the drunk secretary? I get that he saw combat, but being in combat doesn't automatically make you qualified for... well anything except therapy and medical care.

No he's a pretty blatant fascist, and they're goddamn adults, not literal children against a literal witch

    My dad's a literal rocket scientist (just recently retired from JPL) and also a devout MAGA disciple and FOX News viewer. Human beings are just not sophisticated enough to deal with a trillion-dollar propaganda machine on their own. I don't know what the solution is, and we don't seem to have one so far, except to FO after the viewership FAs and elects autocrats and billionaire bro oligarchies into power.

    Some of us are able to acquire electoral savvy and vote defensively, but a lot of us are too preoccupied or too exhausted from work and vote on vibes, to dire consequence.
