@kimwulff Trump has just survived an assassination attempt. He is definitely going to win now 😖

Eva Chaos

@sarahbeck @kimwulff

Not really. It just shows how much he's hated.

@eva_chaos @kimwulff He and his posse are going to exploit this to the fullest by using the familiar 'everyone else is against us'-narrative and turn Trump into a martyr. From crook to martyr. Who would have thought...? Meanwhile the dominating narrative on Biden is that he is senile.

@sarahbeck @kimwulff

They certainly will, but it's only his base that buy the nonsense. There's a large swath of people that he just told will be permanently disenfranchised by Project 2025. Obviously, folks are angry about that if the shooting has started. We just need to stay on top of the info wars, which is surprisingly easy because Trump is an idiot.

@eva_chaos @kimwulff I'm afraid I don't have that much confidence in the ability of the American people to make rational decisions. They elected him once before after all. It's the main flaw of democracy. People are easily manipulated. Even Hitler was democraticly elected in is days.

@sarahbeck @kimwulff

If we didn't, the country wouldn't function. We'd already be like russia or some other dumpster fire. The problem is that few of us have the time or energy for politics because we work so much. The left and center needs to get their asses to the polls, and Project 2025 was the way to do that.

@eva_chaos @kimwulff I certainly hope so. It is still unfathomable to me that some millions of people will chose not to drag themselves to the polling stations in November. I think this might be one of the most important American presidential elections in world history. NATO could collapse if Trump is elected. Putin would have free range in eastern Europe, if a President Trump decided to cut them off. Expanded war in Europe? Civil war like chaos in the US?

@sarahbeck @kimwulff

Too many of us work 70 hours a week and then want to do nothing but watch their favorite TV shows in their little bit of down time.

@eva_chaos @kimwulff Wow, that's extreme. Is that normal? In Denmark, a normal work week is 37 hours. Does that mean both parents in a family work that many hours or is one of them at home with the kids? It sounds impossible to maintain a family life with those hours 😯

@sarahbeck @kimwulff

We tend to not have families unless there is generational wealth or are on welfare. it is incredibly common for people to have two jobs to get rent paid. It seems like everyone is an Uber/Doordash driver on the side to make ends meet.
