I feel like Trump is in the midst of making the mistake that most politicians eventually make.

He believes that people voted for him because of how awesome and smart and wonderful he is, and not because they were sick of the other guys.

Perhaps this is actually what we need. The left self-destructed, now the right can too and perhaps those pieces can be put together in a way that sucks less.

Either that or…

Well history has a lot of options of what the ā€œorā€ might be and most are unpleasant.

people doing the "I don't care what dead people did" is growing

@D-Droid Yeah it's something I've been thinking but haven't put into words. Look at the titans of industry of olde, people like Henry Ford or Walt Disney. Whatever you think of them, they were builders and innovators, they made things and used their riches to make even more things and shape their country in ways that only they could.

Now? The idea of billionaires being innovative is a joke. Elon Musk gets mocked for trying to hype up his shitty cyber truck or whatever, clearly not even understanding his own products, then he buys a new company and mismanages it. Hell, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates might be seen as the last innovative billionaires and even them I would consider pale imitations of men who came before them. They're all inheritors, they could not build wealth on their own and fuck up everything they acquire, they are not worthy of their influence and do no good with it.

What’s good for the vineyard is good for all... RIGHT?

On the late James Stevens Curl: ā€˜That architecture schools continue to this day to peddle these myths frustrated Curl more than anything. Design is taught like a religion, he concluded, where the natural and innate appreciation of beauty is knocked out of students from day one and replaced with an ideology that elevates abstraction and novelty. Young people are plied with a particular received wisdom and made to ā€œlook with their earsā€ā€™. https://thecritic.co.uk/a-transcendent-life/

This type of thinking could save America but instead... It gets your primary opponent heavily funded.

An unusually high number of competitor candidates were murdered, even for Mexican elections

I'm revising the number, it's not 150, it's 180 million illegals
