I go back and forth a lot between thinking people are losing faith in U.S. systems in record time, and thinking that I’m making up libidinal fantasies and overestimating the speed or extent of that loss of faith.

So what do you all think?

Don’t the majority of Republicans already think any election won by the Democrats is due to rampant electoral fraud? Legitimacy isn’t the issue, it’s whether or not people have the will to sacrifice their physical safety in a struggle for something better, and the simple fact is they don’t. Whether it’s God Emperor Trump or CCP shill Sleepy Joe, at the end of the day they can drive their Hummer to an Applebee’s and yell at a waitress, so what does it really matter who’s in charge? So long as the flow of treats remains interrupted, Americans are never going to revolt in any meaningful sense.

Exactly this. I personally think America has been in a “Legitimacy crisis” since 2008 basically…but the burn is slow and the drugs are keeping the pressure manageable. Not judging. I absolutely lump myself in that same group.

Unfortunately no, but the brainworms are hard at work. He’s a CCP shill in the same sense that Trump was working for the Kremlin.

He was very much leveraged by organized crime networks though, if not the official state apparatus.
