If Republicans can vote for the drug-addled, senile, rapist and felon who's ready to start a murder campaign if elected, you can vote for the old guy.

2025. Trump is president. A prominent democrat suddenly vanishes and is found dead.

Trump makes a smirking post to social media wondering "who people want to see go next" and posts a poll.

People murder pro-vax doctors, LGBTQIA+ people, and family members and clearly call for pardons and intervention by Trump.

People on X openly talk of "who should die next" and post addresses unstopped.

That's what we'll get if Trump is elected.

Remember if the world is in chaos, then it's also not settled. So try to steer it towards something better.

I actually lean slightly to the positive on us getting through the next few decades, but the losses, the casualties, the social and infrastructure decay will still be terrible.

This is a good time to reiterate my statement that fascism in the world today has a limited lifespan. Fascism will not be able to deal with climate change, let alone our various economic, IT, and disease crises.

Fascism will try to exploit these, ignore them, blame others for them, etc. But it won't solve, prevent, or even predict.

So it's not just Fascism. It's fascism then a multisided collapse, with a lot of very bad responses to it.

Vote, act, and get involved accordingly.

Not feeling too comfortable here in #SanJose

I honestly will probably not watch the debate. I'm more interested in following people's reactions and I can watch specifics later.

Also Trump is annoying as hell.

I analyze the damage of Bullshit. The obvious damage is just the start, the rest is part of a larger cascade failure. https://www.stevensavage.com/blog/2024/06/the-bullshit-waste-cascade.html

The best testimony to the talent of Donald Sutherland is how many people praising him are invoking a different film or other project.

The man was omnipresent.

"Living In The Future We Were Sold" - our ideas of the future were largely what was the media sold us and have nothing to do with reality - or what we want or need. https://www.stevensavage.com/blog/2024/06/living-in-the-future-we-were-sold.html

"The notion that Trump is going to stop trolling American allies, craft an economic partnership with them with greater free trade, and confront the world’s most powerful authoritarian state sounds like a great plan. All they need to do is get Trump to believe the literal opposite of all his most deeply held convictions."

Politically I have been called both an anarchist and a socialist, which I figure is a good sign for Not Being Easily classifiable.

Also, won't lie, being a Project Manager affects my politics deeply. When you know how stuff runs and doesn't, it changes you.

Hmmm, a day after Trump goes Abe Simpson But Worse it seems the right wing is treating Biden as addled.

Which at the debate will play great. Remember the SOTU when suddenly everyone decided he was on drugs?

(And of course Biden uses drugs. About anyone over 40 is on some medication.)

If we were a better country, the Hunter Biden case would lead to a discussion of addiction, support, and so on. It would be really useful (indeed, probably in surprising ways).

Instead we get THIS.

Shfting my blogging towards deeper commentary and analysis. I discuss how some organzations, from Tories to tech, may be so "poisoned" that they're "genetically' unable to change or make good choices.
