I am afraid of what this future holds, my fellow Americans, because Trump is a fake, Lindsey Graham is a fake and the G.O.P. has become a cult with no coherent platform other than what side of the bed Trump woke up on, meaning it’s a fake. None of them will fight for anything any longer — other than staying in Trump’s good graces by saying whatever he tells them to say.
They are all trapped in a performative doom loop that has nothing to do with acting on our real interests. It’s only about performing for Trump and for his base to get more clicks, to get more donations, to get more votes, to get elected and then perform again for more clicks. Rinse and repeat — the actual world be damned.
It is all fake. Only our enemies are not fake.

Trump, by contrast, often behaves as if he learned his world affairs not at Wharton but by watching World Wrestling Entertainment. So much of what he does is purely performative; it’s about looking strong, about talking tough and about fake body slams, in which everyone is fooled except our rivals.
For example, Trump tore up the Iran nuclear deal in May 2018, claiming it was a giveaway by Barack Obama. But he did it with no diplomatic plan to secure a better deal and no strategic plan or allies to confront Iran if it exploited Trump’s move by pushing ahead toward a nuclear bomb. So Iran, which, under Obama, was being kept about a year away from having enough fissile material to build a nuclear bomb, is now just a few weeks away. That’s what performative diplomacy gets you.

But yet, it's also a description for what the Dems are doing with Biden.
So, yeah, like I've been saying, we're fucked no matter what.
It is a game of political chicken while the world seems on the brink of WWII.
Try to equate the two all you like. But Biden is not Trump.
Just compare the abject, daily chaos of that admin and this one. The leaks, the lies, the back-stabbing, the shattered norms....
Agree or disagree with his policies, Biden has been a normal president.

Especially his latest when he claims not care about Orange’s legal difficulties as he every day rips Joe and Hunter for theirs.
The 5 mill payment to Joe though seems a bit more far fetched after the latest indictment.

felony counts) while ripping the other candidate and his son constantly for theirs?
That’s just hypocrisy and being untruthful about being in the middle.
I won't speak for him on the issues, but he is hardly some ultra-MAGA dude.
Did say he clearly favors Orange over Biden. Read his posts.
Just like everyone else's who won't be voting, putting Trump back in office.
But you'll proudly wear your "It's not Joe's Fault" T-shirt into the office on Wednesday morning in defiance. Because it wasn't cowardice, it was loyalty.
How's that for abject nonsense?
rational...

Rips Biden all the time, and then says he doesn’t care about Orange’s legal issues. Sure cares about those of Hunter and Joe though.
Rank hypocrite who will vote Orange.

willingness and follow through to negotiate on issues that impact all of us...so, even if for some reason, JB couldn't finish another 4 years, we'd still have competent leadership. ..as opposed to the alternative...it's that simple.
