These Trump skeptics hope people know what they are doing
With the re-election of Trump I’m convinced that our generation’s time – I’m in my 80s -- has passed. The values I admire, the qualities of character I respect, seem to be relegated to some kind of antique standards shop. We’re decidedly outta style.
In a sense, none of them know what they're doing.
Many of them just don't know at all. They've believed the lies and don't realize that they've just elected a psychopath who is going to at the very least do considerable harm.
Some of them think they do know. They're self-serving sacks of shit who look forward to tyranny and the destruction of democratic institutions because they think they're going to benefit and they dont give a shit about all of the people who are going to suffer. But they don't realize that in the end, they're going to suffer too.
Yep. This. They are not students of history, that's for sure. People cheering on destruction are just as likely to be underfoot as anyone. Unless you are some kind of broligarch and are able to take your billions and skip off to a safe place - and with a military like ours, I guess no place on the planet is truly "safe" for someone the maga-infected State wants to get, sooooo, maybe even the broligarchs should not be trying to bring this about...
I hope the younger voters know what they’re doing (but quietly doubt it). For them I leave these words I heard often: “I told ya so!”
The younger voters may even be worse given the effects of algorithms and no real preparation on their part for the onslaught of propaganda.
A lot of them don't know what they are doing. They are sucked into red pill bubbles, trad wife bubbles, and the extremely toxic multiplayer video game communities. They don't do shit in school because they are just gonna get rich being influencers or game streamers.
They know exactly what they're doing. They're plundering the people, ending democracy, and establishing a full-on theocracy.
