Yes, agree that the left is too obsessed with identity politics, pronouns, and other nonsense. But to think Trump is the answer is a fool’s errand. More tax cuts for billionaires that will blow up the deficit like he did before. A man who went bankrupt 6 times in charge of the world’s largest economy. Making the Department of Justice and FBI his own gestapo. I agree with your critique of the awful MSM, cancel culture, and elites in general. But rolling the dice on this sociopathic criminal is insane.
I appreciate you engaging, even if we don’t see eye to eye on this. I get it—Trump is polarizing, and his flaws are hard to ignore. But let’s be real: the alternatives haven’t exactly been a beacon of fiscal responsibility or justice, either. Every administration, left or right, seems to blow up the deficit; the difference is where the money goes and how openly they admit it.
As for "gestapo" comparisons, let’s not forget the FBI and DOJ have been weaponized by both sides when it suits them. Trump just happens to be the one calling them out—albeit chaotically—while others try to sweep it under the rug.
The bigger issue here isn’t Trump as a perfect solution; it’s about rejecting a system that prioritizes the status quo over real change. Trump is messy, yes—but sometimes shaking up the machine is the only way to reveal just how broken it is.
I agree that the Democrats and Republicans both suck. At least that’s what I think. I cannot believe you are in favor of more tax cuts for the uber rich. I loathe the Democrats but Republicans historically have inflated the deficit more. That’s a fact.
Rejecting the system. Sure. But this is going from bad to worse. And it will be especially tough on the poor, small businesses, and working people in general. Trump is a fake populist. Corruption, self-enrichment, and chaos will ensue. I don’t see that as a step forward. We have corruption in both parties but throwing a brick through the window doesn’t make things better.
You’re absolutely right to point out that both parties have serious flaws. Democrats and Republicans have both contributed to a system rife with corruption and fiscal irresponsibility. The deficit, for example, has been inflated under leaders from *both* parties—Trump included. However, to pin the blame solely on tax cuts for the wealthy is an oversimplification. While those cuts undeniably favored corporations and high earners, they also spurred economic growth, reduced unemployment, and brought manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., at least pre-pandemic. The long-term tradeoff, of course, is debatable.
The "brick through the window" analogy is fair criticism. Chaos isn’t a strategy, and Trump’s brash leadership style is polarizing, even counterproductive at times. But I’d argue his presidency exposed flaws in the system that had been festering for decades. Career politicians on both sides have enriched themselves while ignoring middle- and working-class Americans. Trump’s appeal isn’t about him being a perfect populist—it’s about a rejection of a broken establishment.
No leader is a perfect step forward, but continuing to trust the same system that got us here isn’t the solution, either. If anything, his presidency forced uncomfortable truths into the open, and that alone is a step toward accountability.

You could just say you support rape and dictatorships lololol, those are Trump's top two characteristics.
