It’s pathetic that you tds retards would rather get the “win” over Trump than for him to get a peace deal and end this war.
I wonder who ever said that? Did I say that? No, I did not say that. Is Putin paying any attention to Trump’s “peace plan” No. is Putin using Trump? Sure seems so. In pointing that rather obvious fact out, am I therefore hoping this particular war will go on forever? No, I’m not.
I was raised with a very good idea of my country’s history, the principles upon which my country was established, and the understanding of civics that results in good citizens. In my case, thanks mostly to Vietnam, I ignored my civic responsibility to vote in our elections. Cynicism took hold for awhile. For many years. Decades.
But, when Trump showed up, on our national scene, it proved impossible to just ignore. Idealism somehow returned. I had seen this movie before. I understood history. I practiced what I preached my whole life: “never, ever, sleepwalk through that portion of History that is your’s to live, that is your lifetime”.
And, rather inexplicably, you MAGA folks interpret that as TDS?
You interpret people who understand history, understand how fascistic movements can occur in societies undergoing extreme social, cultural change, and who can see that very type of leader, a cynical power hungry demagogue with an instinctive understanding of how to create a rabid following, in the person of Donald Trump, you interpret such a response as an inexplicable aversion to Trump that crosses over into being deranged? And when the urgency was off the charts, it’s only because when one does understand the past, when one does understand how certain leaders arise in certain societal conditions, and subsequently wreck chaos, manipulate and take advantage of angry and alienated citizens, a warning is most certainly called for. I recognized Trump because I understood history. Although disliking his style really required no such understanding. His coarseness, his meanness, his colossal ego, his lack of care for his fellow man, he made no effort to hide that, none of that requires much more than a heart to recognize that is the worst kind of leader imaginable.
You don’t understand opposition to Donald Trump. It’s likely you’re not well versed in Western history. Yet, it’s understanding that very history that made recognizing Trump far easier than would be likely otherwise. The past INFORMS the present. But not if you ignore the past, or have no understanding of it whatsoever.
I give credit to many in MAGA who are sincere in their beliefs that “Woke” is destroying their country. Who genuinely believe that Trump is a savior. They could not be more mistaken, but they act out of patriotism.

If you understand history, and leadership types that arise, in certain societal conditions, then of course you stand up and take notice when a right wing populist appeals to anger and fear. It’s not like there have never been Americans both willing and eager to follow fascists:

If I understand you at all, you wish to replace a “uniparty” with one man rule. That is no solution, to anything at all. Trump would agree with you, though, he wants absolute power, and nothing less. Somehow, you are fine with that. But, just in terms of the Ukraine war, it isn’t about hoping Trump fails to end a war. If you can’t recognize Putin is not paying any attention to Trump, what can anyone say?
