Far to many people that I know either personally or online see Donald Trump as some sort of a charm, a talisman. If we somehow get him elected, everything will be “made right“. This is pure, detached from reality, bullshit. The very best we can say is that Donald Trump is the best we’ve got out of otherwise incredibly poor pool to select from. The only exception to the “poor pool” in my opinion is Vivek Ramaswami. But even electing him won’t change the trajectory we are on.
What any rational, thinking person who understands American government as it was set up, has to realize that one person, even a couple of people acting in concert can’t solve the problems that we’re in, much less to reverse course. What’s needed in our system of government is a massive and pervasive effort on all levels from local, state up to federal levels to replace the criminals and degenerates that WE have sent to office, with principled individuals. Since this is not going to happen in 2024, and certainly not beyond, we, Americans are definitely headed for “spicy times” .
It seems insane, but I am really looking forward to 2024. This lunatic news cycle is undoubtedly causing the scales to fall from many people's eyes. It feels like we've been circling around a giant whirlpool for the last 4 years, and are about to get sucked down the drain. I just want to see what's on the other side.
Excellent observation.

This does not end well.
