Perhaps. The Soviet Union lasted a good 70 years though. They do seem to be killing it in renewable energy and AI though which is interesting.

Not that I disagree with a lot of America’s stupid preoccupations with rugged individualism etc, however this China romanticisation reminds me how a lot of the western intelligentsia fell for communism and had a soft spot for the Soviet Union.

How do you account for the fact that Green has been around since the 1960s with The Beatles etc that has infiltrated so much culture but never really took over the masses? Perhaps America needs a national divorce, it just seems unsustainable where you have a good ~30% of the population that basically wants a third world style autocrat in Trump, yet the coastal city folk are so much further evolved than that. I feel like something has gotta give.

At this point would that be surprising??? 😂 😢

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?
