Jeb wouldn't have been any different, he'd just be more professional about it. So we'd be professionally fucked than chaotically fucked.

    Don’t get me wrong, those old guard fucks were corrupt as hell, but what we have now is orders of magnitude worse. Just blatant pillaging and terror in broad daylight.

    This, this right here. They are stealing American workers and foreign money blatantly in the fucking open and depending on what happens will take decades to claw back if at all. ‘No taxation without representation’ my ass. US Americans have been and still are being taken for chumps.

    Those long line of corrupt as hell old fucks paved way to "this". Why do you think orange turd does the way things he does?

    Because none of the old corrupt as hell fucks never got any consequences.

    I can't believe this has to be said every time you fuckwits praise old corrupt politicians. It kinda feels you deserve what's happening.

    Perfect is th enemy of good but what you're doing is how much bad you are willing to accept. And they keep sliding towards a little worse, leading to the bottom.

    And now you're there you still haven't learned a thing.

    Bullshit and fuck you. Yeah this is a result of feeding the heritage foundation from the table for decades, but this is more the metaphorical result of the dam breaking and wiping out entire towns downstream.

    You’re probably one of those “both sides” clowns who stymie any sort of progress because of an ideological stance which could never be achieved in the real world. I have indeed learned a lot over the years, which is that progress is messy and involves coalitions with those who differ, in service of goals. Insisting on throwing out the whole system is immature is overly idealistic. Thanks for making two people on the same side of the political spectrum get into a ln internet fight.

    It's imperialism gone inward. People in Iraq and Afghanistan still had it worse, in broad daylight. US citizens just feel bad about two white people dying.

    The Heritage foundation hasn't developed project 2025 for Trump specifically. Whoever else had been chosen to win would have done the same.

    Fuck off. Are the people who say shit like this literally 12 years old? Do they really not know just how much different and worse this is than it's ever been?

    You'd have to be absolutely delusional to really believe that Jeb and Trump would even be remotely the same. Just look at their stances towards NATO, the EU, Greenland or Ukraine and Russia. America would still be a functioning country with Jeb in the White House instead of a circus with the Prime Diddler at the helm.
