Trump could win this

He is not winning Pennsylvania. It has felt like it has voted Democrat forever.

Neither party should be in power, IMO. They’ve both proven their illegitimate status, through well over a century of wars of aggression, slavery, genocide of Native peoples here and abroad, covert and overt coups, war crimes, mass incarceration, oppression of political dissent, spreading the cancer of capitalism, etc. etc.

They’re not fit to govern.

Which is why I find it absurd that anyone sees Trump as some great answer to the problem of the duopoly. He’s a Republican, is pushing Republican positions on virtually every issue, has the backing and support of the Republican base, and will be operating within the Republican frame when he does business with Congress and the Courts. He’s surrounded himself with Republicans, and has given us a list of Republicans he says he’ll nominate for the Supremes. Yes, there are some Republicans who have voiced their anger toward him, but they actually agree with him on the vast majority of policy issues. They just don’t like his tone, his style.

His tone, his noxious, openly fascistic words, bother them. They’d prefer our leaders be gentlemen and keep that kind of thing hidden and save it for the all-white country club. As in, they don’t oppose him because of his despicable views; they oppose him for being a barbarian and actually saying in public what most Republicans reserve for private encounters.

Trump isn’t the answer. He’s more of the same old same old duopoly, restyled, more unhinged and angrier, more open about its white supremacism and love of oligarchy.
