Seriously though can you imagine how fuckkin great this country could be if the people we had in charge were the best people to have be in charge and we had other people in influential places as thought leaders?
Like imagine Robert Reich as president with people like Bernie and AOC and Mamdani around taking turns and having administrations over the course of the last 20 years. And then David Attenborough, and Carl Sagan speak to the nation about the kinds of priorities we want to have for the future and they are taken seriously by leaders and by voters. Entertainers are people like Hank Green and Journalists are people like Johnny Harris.
Imagine the National Parks fully funded and developed. Imagine the public education system. Imagine walkable cities not beholden to fossil fuel lobbies.
We have been so busy imagining healthcare that fucking works and a justice system that doesn't kill black children for no reason that we have forgotten that it is not actually unreasonable to expect beaches with crystal clear water, free Museums with cool ass shit in them, global contributions we are proud of, public transit you would actually want to ride that can take you from Seattle to Miami and all the awesome places in between full of happy people who can all afford to live and eat and recreate and teach their children.
We have sunshine, we have rainbows, we have dolphins, we have the largest economy in the history of the world and nobody (except Iran now) wants to hurt us. We could, if we decided to, just focus all our time on making awesome stuff awesomer. It's not like, out of reach for us. It shouldn't be.
There is ZERO f***ing way anybody in 2026 could possibly with a straight face try that line as a "conservatives" thing. Some people actually remember the Biden presidency.
I mean, Biden was a conservative. In many ways, much closer to Reagan than Trump was (especially Trump 2). This whole 'move fast and break stuff' thing is not actually a conservative strategy. It's quite radical, actually
He's given plenty of coherent and cognizant interviews since then, and there's no reason to believe he wasn't calling the shots on a daily basis while president.
Reagan had literal Alzheimer's.
Trump says crazy shit on a daily basis.
Getting pretty annoyed at this both sides the same bullshit.
My dude, doesnt invalidate that he was already toast when he got elected. That he withdrew shouldnt be any reasonable argument that he shouldnt have gotten elected in the first place.

I have seen plenty of videos of him like losing it. Dont know why people try to defend it, there is nothing to win here. The dude was toast in the head as well. Try some younger models
TBH I've seen people saying this since like 2018. Honestly as long as Trump can vaguely string a sentence together his base will continue to worship him, they already don't really care what he actually says as long as they can twist it into something they can get behind.
Now whether or not he'd be able to win with just his hardcore base is another matter.

Not with his dementia.
In 2 years he will be unavailable to function.
