Just with me, that’s twice that you’ve repeated a shallow perspective, then ran away when it was time to learn.

Read it again.

Worse than the idiots are the ones who believe themselves intelligent.

You need not weep for those willing to die for their principles. They’ve little value for your lukewarm understanding.

Here, I’ll do the hard one: Gary Newsom with AOC selling out principles for lifetime admission to the club as VP. If not AOC then another Justice Democrat will go for it. This would short term quickly and easily unify the big tent under a compromise platform with long term certainty of fully neoliberal outcomes. It’s not much different than the last two cycles.

It’d be even easier for Republicans with a dead Trump as a symbol. Give it a shot. Show me you’re worth engaging with.

Look up to meta tactics instead of down at muddy short term details. In this way we can vaguely understand and predict without specific facts and as things happen.

The apparatus of manipulation specific to Trump’s cult will continue to exist, and in fact be amplified, by martyrdom of the fallible man. He didn’t create it. He doesn’t maintain it. He doesn’t even benefit from it anymore beyond propping up his ego. A symbol is whatever you make it, eternal.

Many of his contrarian actions were and continue to be the input for exercises is doublethink: a useful tool. But, he’d make a shitty puppet dictator because he simply can’t follow the script. Even an intelligent fascist wants literally anyone else, just as everyone left of them except the accelerationists.

I’m applying the basics of Bernays, Herman, and Chomsky. I’m not an expert. But, this isn’t rocket science, either.

We don’t know and may never. It doesn’t matter as party affiliation entirely fails to grasp any human element, let alone the nuance of any individual, let alone an individual who’s capable of rationalizing meaning in martyrdom.

But, sure, that seems plausible.

no one else has been successful in wielding Trump’s base

No one else has done so in a shallow enough manner for you to care to notice. Start with Reagan.

If Trump were dead then the big money would choose the next candidate behind closed doors next week at the convention. It would reunite the current polarization of the Republican party. The “masses” that were so easily co-opted will be more easily misled with the symbol than the fallible man.

You’re making the same mistake as the user above. Evil isn’t stupid. You underestimate them even as they’re nearing a milestone victory.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out — Because I was MLK’s white moderate.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate,

who is more devoted to “order” than to justice;

who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice;

who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”;

who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.”

Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

You’re not thinking evil and intelligent enough.

That cult propaganda is running full force. As a martyr Trump would shut the fuck up, making him much more useful, beginning with Republican reunification and spin at the convention next week.

A collection point for liquid drainage is called a “sump”.

Examples: A basement may have a low point in the foundation with a drainage pump installed to prevent flooding: a sump pump. Boats have a sump to collect onboarded water called a bilge. They’ve a bilge pump to remove the water.

Maybe “sump cooler” became “swamp cooler”?

It got worse. We adapted parameters to try to compensate. You didn’t do anything wrong. You’ve just not yet implemented continuous improvement.

Do a thematic series “Portraits of a would be murderer”.

That’s only partly true. Its half of what America wants, but you completely ignore that there are other actors and factors in the situation.

If I provide a synopsis you’ll simply expand the scope once again. Good faith would’ve been listing those factors and why they’re important.

No matter how much weapons Ukraine gets, it’s still better for them to get a few than none.

I provided reason for my position. You’ve a thesis statement.

You admit our ignorance. You then recommended I make a blind decision, likely to help yourself feel better about yours.

No. I value my freedom to choose, particularly considering what we face.
