To observe all the many ways in which Trump is deranged does not make one deranged.

You're a glutton for punishment. You'd have to pay me to watch those two goobers debate.

You don't at this point? Shit is bonkers. Gotta get back to normal before things can improve.

To go back to a pre-2016 politics? Absolutely not.

What you want is to be able to go back to sleep.

Yeah, it's nice being able to sleep, knowing capable adults are in charge.

"Gotta get back to normal before things can improve."

This is precisely the opposite of reality.

Oh, so you're saying I should prefer having an actual lunatic in the White House? I'd prefer something better than Kamala, but we gotta go back to normal (compared to Trump), before that can happen.

I think you should take responsibility for yourself and your world instead of outsourcing it to "adults" who don't give a fuck about you and work to enslave you. No one is coming to take care of you, sweetheart.

"We gotta get back to normal!"

There is no normal. What you long for is a time when you didn't have to think.

Why wouldn't I take an actual lunatic over more competent, powerful, unified corruption? Have you ever actually thought about that question? Who is actually more dangerous to you?

Who is more dangerous? A spree killer? Or Dick Cheney?

God Harris is as unbearable as ever. Jan. 6th! Jan. 6th! Jan. 6th! Jan. 6th! Jan. 6th! Jan. 6th! Jan. 6th!

Oh, here's at the end:

Sam says: "I would respond to the TDS claim, I think TDS is a cute meme and it serves to shut down conversations but the real TDS is to imagine that Trump's character flaws don't matter, to not care about a politician who lies with this kind of velocity and perversity about everything under the sun. To not care that we have somebody who as a sitting president who would not commit to a peaceful transfer of power, and who maintains the lie that he won the 2020 election when there's no evidence he did and abundant evidence that he didn't. And to not recognize that even just the maintenance of that lie and the requirement that his collaborators like his current vice president maintain that lie. That itself is provocative of violence... It's shattering of some basic norms of our democracy that we should want to un-shatter. The real derangement is to have lost site of how pathological all this is. So again, my appeal to normal is just that, this is a highly non-normal situation we should want to get out of, and I view Harris... as above all a pivot back to normal."

But I'm just getting warmed up!

Though I should probably pretend to work for a bit...

I can't think of anything more dated and unrealistic than the idea of bipartisan federal government, and IMO both parties have made that impossible. I have zero interest in working with people who think me or my family are nazis for offering up even the meekest resistance to their divine "progress". They can fuck right off to the ends of the (flat) earth. And they were doing that long before Trump was a thing. They once arrogantly thought they could get away with it (tree's "normal" times), but they were sorely mistaken, and now we're all paying for it.

I do think concerning one's self with regional politics is great, and I want more autonomy for regions, and am utterly opposed to more centralization (which I'm sure is part of the reason why I couldn't possibly care less about the Capitol Building or idiots wandering around in it for a few minutes). Bipartisanship is alive and well in this context.
