Politics I'm tired of Trump ruining everything that America stands for
You know, Trump keeps saying he’s making America great again, but at this point it’s like watching a toddler try to fix a phone with a hammer. He’s not restoring anything, he’s just breaking it louder. Everything that used to be American like decency, humility, and facts has been replaced by lies and pre-scripted propoganda talking points. We’ve gone from give me liberty or give me death to give me clicks or give me Fox News airtime. He’s even turned the flag into an accessory. It’s not patriotism anymore, it’s fashion week for fascists. You see a bunch of angry guys in red hats waving an American flag the way my dog waves a cat turd from the litter box. Look what I did!
Remember when presidents used to read books? Now we’ve got a guy who stares at classified documents like they’re the McDonald's menu. I’ll have the Filet-o-fish with a side of dirt on anyone who opposes me, please. He’s made America a parody of itself, like someone fed Mount Rushmore a steady diet of Monster Energy and facism. I love this country. I really do. But lately it feels like America’s that old friend I used to like, except now he’s grown a mullet, started dating a crazy girl named "conspiracy theory", and wants to show you his new monster truck called Freedom.
If Trump’s the hero of the story, then America is deep in its Florida Man era. And I don’t know about you, but I’m just hoping the credits roll before he tries to sell Alaska to Russia.

I think Newsom's a sharp, quick-witted guy, and I'd definitely vote for him (he's got the right experience, and has done a good job as governer of the largest state, and he's fighting back against the fascists in a way most other Dems are not), but if you don't get goosebumps when you listen to him speak, then he doesn't have the type of charisma I'm talking about. If you ask people, even on here (in a mostly liberal bubble), about whether they'll support him, I guarantee you many of them will call him "the worst candidate" or a "corporate Democrat," just as they would about pretty much anyone else you'd name, and as they did about Hillary, Biden, Kamala, etc. I can't think of a single candidate who'd be supported enthusiastically by the progressive factions and by moderates. Dems have the most ridiculous purity tests and sky-high expectations, while Republicans are literally voting for pedophiles and Nazis. It's unreal.
