    There’s no point in talking to Trump because he has shown time and time again that his words are worthless. He’s also an attention addict and megalomaniac, so talking to his is giving him what he wants.

      I’d argue that goes for any US president. Even if they’re completely genuine, everything can change on a dime when the next admin comes into power.

    His words are meaningless and only serve to please his base and recruit fresh meat. It’s a pretty rational approach if you aren’t part of the base.

    A lot of countries by now are stockpiling weapons and weapons accessories in preparation of a war. Talking is leaving the chat.

      Lots of countries are bolstering forces by hundreds of thousands, even if their current military is in the tens of thousands. It’s eerie how similar it seems when the world is preparing to avoid war, and when the world is preparing for war.

      Nah, if the US starts a world war it will suck for literally everyone, not just those voters. You’re likely to be drafted too, regardless of where you live.

        I’m past concern and moved into acceptance. Spent my life working in community affairs and human rights and always voted with everyone’s well being in mind, and since I have no control over the current situation, I accept whatever as long as I get to watch his voters eat shit. I’m tired of caring. It’s gotten us nowhere. My “liberal” coworkers still ignore boycotts and voting. My black and Mexicano bosses tout Trumpisms. My “liberal” family keeps ignoring the coup. I’m done caring. It’s clear we are getting what we deserve as a nation. I am sure you feel differently, and that’s also valid. But, for me? I’m here for the chaos, atp.
