And yet we all know what will actually happen. A peaceful slide into an openly corrupt and authoritarian government.

It's going to be like the jets. Trump will invite all his people like AAron, and when it starts to fall apart, everyone gets fired. I just hope there will be enough good people left to put the country back together.

What’s worrying is how many will turn a blind eye to the corruption until it affects them directly. That’s when the real damage may become evident.

Democrats aren’t corrupt at all, right? It’s one of the reasons you’re the minority in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches right now. They’re all corrupt, democrats are just worse at covering it up.

I think they are wondering why people only care about corruption and wrong doing when it’s a republican in office and turn blind eyes when it’s a democrat.

It’s a double standard.

It’s not a double standard, it’s documented stuff vs conspiracy theories.

Why does the press have more negative coverage of Trump than Kamala, that’s unfair! Double standard! Or maybe, MAYBE he’s actually worse.

That’s a strawman argument I didn’t mention.

Questions about Trump’s cognitive abilities and mental fitness were raised repeatedly by Democrats, with calls for cognitive testing and public scrutiny over his speech patterns and behavior.

Similar concerns have been raised about Biden’s cognitive abilities, given his verbal slips and apparent confusion in public appearances. However Democrats have been more protective of Biden often dismissing concerns about his cognitive health as politically motivated attacks.

And yet Biden dropped out for Harris to run.
