They said after 10 minutes, that surely I was dead and drowned. You'll come a waltzing Mathilda with me

Sure roo

But if you are an adult with agency who is steering the direction of your own life, then why burn up mental capital thinking about some " leader".

If your daddy is an asshole and he's the " leader" of your family , then ignore the bustard, assume agency, get the hell away from him and never think about him again.

Or spend a decade telling yourself and everyone else how your daddy is wrecking your life's prospects.

If it were just Trump the failed businessman, nobody would give a toss, except Trump himself, naturally.

But he's the President. Like it or not, his actions have global consequences. They affect real people far beyond the borders of the United States.

Right now, his administration is trying to strong-arm Australia with trade tariffs to dismantle the PBS and shove us towards the same unregulated, for-profit healthcare nightmare that Americans are trapped in. That's not just bad policy, it's an ideological assault, one that puts lives at risk for the benefit of pharmaceutical companies.

It was easier to look the other way with Biden, Obama, even Bush, for the most part ,until he dragged the world into endless war. But Trump is different. He demands attention. Even you can't stop talking about him, fawning over him as some kind of alpha male.

I've always found it curious how your obsession with Trump, your constant simping, completely contradicts your so-called admiration of strength. If Trump were the alpha you believe he is, doesn't that make your sycophantic devotion the very definition of beta behaviour?

Quote:

Construct a little victim identity around it. Roll Eyes

But that's the MAGA movement in a nutshell. For all their talk of resilience and "bootstraps" they're forever finding someone else to blame, forever the victim. It's become a culture of grievance, a political identity worn like a badge of honour. They've turned self-pity into merchandise with their hats and tshirts.

So what is it, Scoot? Are you genuinely this blind to your own contradictions? Or are you just another broken soul desperately trying to project your failures onto others because the alternative, admitting you were wrong about Trump, is too painful to face?

The line between belief and delusion blurred long ago. Now it's been obliterated.

You.started out by calling Trump failed businessman, you lose all credibility with you first sentence. It's not even open for discussion, it's like talking to a flat earther.
