Pop punk died and got replaced with rappers trying to be pop punk/emo like Lil Peep. A lot less political though.

Bush is a bigger idiot than Trump. Cheney was what made that particular administration especially nasty though.

Trump certainly has base cunning but actual intelligence? Nah.

Trump is a fantastic manipulator and con-man which I guess shows some very isolated and particular intelligence but every other portion of that mans brain is poo.

I imagine even stupid sociopaths have some talent for lying and manipulating just through sheer practice.

You can be utterly incompetent in a lot of ways, but be weirdly good at one or two things.

And what if he does? You think that's going to be the end?

The Republicans will find a bigger idiot to win. They always do.
In the one major election we've had since 2016, he lost the house in a year where the Senate was his to lose.

I don't think he will. But the downballot is more important this time around. A lot of the places we picked up in 2018 were because we didn't pass an "internet Scoailist Litmus Test" on them, and we won in Republican districts on Healthcare, opioids, and work. Combined with the Trump handling of the pandemic, I think we'll be fine.

It's politics 101, use your brain like a real adult, sheesh.
If you think Biden will be a continuation of Trump, you don't know what you're talking about.

I like how Bernie getting votes from only a portion of Bible Belt youth is tantamount to his whole base throwing their hands up when it comes to voting.

Did...did you read my post? Because I didn't say that. Use your grown up brain more betterer dude.

You're awfully hostile to people who don't share your views, but it never seems to go the other way.

You said, "A Democrat that looks like a Republican if you Squint." Why don't you explain the implication to me since I'm not intelligent.
