I’m not even American 😂 United States politics infects Australia and everywhere else in the West lmao.

The funny thing is he doesn’t drink 😂 Maybe I’d have more chance if we could shoot the shit over a pint

@Leo Gura How do you deal with parents, specially my dad who aggressively spouts MAGA talking points. if I’m empathetic and go spiral wizard, I feel weak and let him get away with the insane framing of the conversation. If I go hard I’m a “Trump Derangement Syndrome” out of touch leftie who just doesn’t understand the “common sense” of regular folk

I’d lean yellow but hard to say. He seemed full blown green during his Vox days, so maybe he’s evolved upwards. His recent interview on Lex was pretty good

Dunno if you’ve been following Ezra Klein lately but I get a lot of yellow vibes from him. Progressive but has matured into a more meta and analytical progressive

Don’t forget innocent green card holders may have been deported to a prison in El Salvador

My hope is their overreach is so bad that MAGA is completely discredited and indefensible. Then things will become more normal in 4 years time. If not it seems the US Republic may fundamentally become a semi autocracy

@Leo Gura Trump episode? If Tate got one surely Trump is worthy

To be fair to him, he’s basically sworn off gaming and immature drama since he’s been medicated for his ADHD. The allegations are prior to him being medicated

He might be impeached if Dems take the house. He’ll have to do something really fucked up for the GOP Senate to convict him though. I reckon his approval ratings will start to plummet once the honeymoon is over

Odds of Impeachment by the end of it?

It’s akin to the upheaval that the printing press caused in Europe, leading to the 30 years war etc

Hmmm depends on your timeframe. If you’re investing for 10+ years S&P500 will be fine. Always goes up ~10% in the long run. If you need it in 4 years then maybe not

Lol that helps 😂 The question is, will America learn its lesson that mindless populist rot isn’t actually superior in the end?

@Leo Gura I’m in a cynical doom spiral right now after this Trump stuff. Astonishing that after everything he’s done (coup attempt), he got re-elected. The worst part is family members who you previously saw as reasonable go along with him and make excuses. Genuinely baffling. Is there gonna be a reckoning?
