He wasn't elected to be nice to swampy people. "He wasn't elected to be nice to swampy people." He is the ultimate swamp dweller. 2 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the opinion of others he is the only one with a chance of standing up to the swamp dwellers. Given what I know about Washington, if I could I'd be voting for anyone that was against the establishment. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His cult thinks he acts in America's interest. He acts only in his own interest. The greatest grifter the world has ever known. Make it stop. IMO it is the sole responsibility of the GOP. If they can't or don't want to stop Trump, then they will get what they deserve from the voters of the USA. Dumped yet again, and banished to the wilderness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of it can be explained by research done by the Frankfurt school, a group of German Jewish intellectual ,that fled Nazi Germany, and tried to explain how the land of Beethoven,Kant, and Goethe could descend so fast into the barbarism of the Nazi. They found that there was a streak of authoritarianism in the German social character, that made them susceptible to fascist propaganda ,without actually being fascists. Milgram studies replicated many of their results in his social experiments on obedience to authority, and showed that these tendencies were present in the American social character too. So IMO,it's not about Trump being too much in the head of never Trumpers ,it's about mobilization of people around the world against an increasing trend towards authoritarianism or as the psychologist Eric Fromm called it, an escape from freedom. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because without funding from the US "and the rest of the west" Ukraine will be unable to fight effectively and will lose. Russia will win, and be able to dismantle a democratic European Country.

ozimoron Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 In case anyone thought the House freedom caucus isn't just scum there is this: House thwarts hard-right push to gut Ukraine funding House Democrats and Republicans teamed up to defeat a pair of proposals to gut Ukraine funding in annual defense spending legislation, though each vote showed sizable GOP opposition to continued aid for Kyiv. Lawmakers rejected 104-330 an amendment from Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) to strip $300 million from the bill for the Pentagon to train Ukrainian soldiers and purchase weapons for Kyiv. A second amendment from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) that would have barred security assistance to Ukraine failed in an even wider 93-339 vote. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/27/house-ukraine-funding-gop-00118550 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of any millionaire upwards, but I regard the current occupant of the Oval Office as a bumbling boob that is a bought and paid for member of the very establishment that got Trump elected in the first place on a protest vote.

Everything I've seen points to Ukraine being hugely corrupt, and isn't that one of the reasons the EU wasn't going to allow them to join the club? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you watch different news reports to myself. Nothing I have seen resembles a "mobilization of people around the world against an increasing trend towards authoritarianism" Apparently in the EU right wing governments are getting elected, not rejected.
