Hey citizen fuck you for not voting for our party, so what that we have terrible policies?! Now, an even worse guy than us gets to be in charge, you're to blame for our loss!

I still see comments on the mainstream reddit subs making this argument but fortunately it gets called out a lot more than it did a few years ago. Pretty crazy it still gets any traction at all though. Crazy that it ever did, really.

As a diagnosed, high-functioning autistic and ADHD person - although I would say barely-functioning is more accurate - I know I would still struggle in society even under an advanced stage of socialism.

This is why I don't like when people say it is not a disability but merely a neurological difference, I know they mean well but it is a take that is detached from reality. I can acheive what people without my disabilities can but to get there is far harder for me, it's like I have to walk through the mud while others naturally get given their own rally car.

Anyway, I know that with the right support offered and the necessary societal reforms made, I would struggle a lot less and could actually be in a role which utilises some of my more 'unique gifts' such as strong visual memory, heightened senses, fast problem-solving, calmness under chaos e.t.c. And this will never happen under a profit driven society, capitalism will adapt to autistics but not for the benefit of autists but to better utilise them/us as those 'useful weirdos' in the money making machine.

Hopefully China sees this as a potential scenario too, I imagine that they do because if I, a moron on the internet can, a party of millions much more educated than I am should.

Could be the US is wanting them to for whatever reason though. Trump's cabinet might be idiots but they're also ruthless businessman who have done countless deals with shady tactics like baiting someone in to doing something they think is good for them but is actually not before. I don't trust it.

I think boredom is part of it, before invading Venezuela, Trump was all bark, no bite, sat in charge of a dying empire and looked miserable. Now he can at least say that he is doing something I guess. But he is still in charge of a dying empire and miserable lol.

That might work on some of the smooth-brain, diehard MAGA cultists but it is not even close enough to convince the general public in the US and internationally.

Because of oil, other crucial resources and the mere fact that Iran exists too close to Israel while being anti-imperialist & pro-Palestine is my understanding.

even r/conservative on reddit, the vast majority seem to be against it. That might change though once the propaganda goes on overdrive e.g. Fox News.
