Supporting Trump is high time preference. Hear me out.

I agree with his supporters on the following points they use to justify their support.

1. The current system is corrupt.

2. Trump is not from or for the current system.

3. Trump intends to remove the corrupt who are part of the current system from power and end their corruption.

4. Trump is likely to be able to make that happen faster than anyone else at this time.

Here is where we differ. I keep thinking about what happens after that. Once that happens, there will be no one left with the power to stop him from having absolute political power. What system will he build? What will he do? Eventually he dies and someone else gets all that power. What system will they build? What will they do?

Anyone who knows any history knows that the more powerful the single leader of a country is, the worse it is for the people there. 1 great leader sometimes uses that power for good for their entire reign, but that is extremely rare. Then what happens when the next person takes over?

Just one specific example. After Marcus the empire fell. 1500 years of chaos and degradation for the population before the renaissance started to turn the corner and show improvement.

So Trump supporters, are you in it for a grudge next year or do you want to build a better world for your grandkids? I know my answer.

Unfortunately you are wrong. Trump is one of them. Not sure how/why people think because he ruffles feathers that he is not part of the problem. He was on epsteins island bumping elbows with all of the people you hate too. Don’t be another sheep so easily fooled. The grass is not greener this election, just two polished 💩’s.

Wanting a good America for your grandkids is fine(I do too), but don’t be so foolish to think that trump is doing this for the American people, that’s just clown shoes.

If you thought I think Trump has ever or would ever make a decision "for the good of the american people" intentionally and not just because it happened to also be good for Trump... I need to improve my writing clarity or you need to improve your reading comprehension.

I really think Trump would destroy the current system and its leaders. Dictators always jail or execute the opposition.

Improve your writing clarity. To think it’s my comprehension is silly. Your blanket statement had an undertone with you want to admit/realize it. He is also not a dictator, and the comparison to Roman Empire is silly as shit. He’s a selfish turd who is part of the Illuminati, get your head out of the sand sir ✌️🫡

People who support and oppose Trump are both capable of having Trump derangement syndrome.

It is now clear that the fact I said anything not 100% negative sent you off the deep end. Your writing fell apart and you resorted to insults even after I made it clear I oppose him.

I'm an out anarchist/voluntaryist and that is half of what I write about here.

I'm trying to make clear to Trump supporters that centralization of power always fails in time even if the first person you gave that power to is perfect and only does good with it.

Trump is not a dictator, yet. His supporters would give him that power if they could. It is the only way he could make good on his campaign promises.

Also, to be clear, my “insults” were opinions, don’t be soft, we just talking this am/pm depending on where your at

I completely agree, I don’t think anybody who is familiar with history should have a very good feeling about supporting Trump. He’s saying all the talking points now to hook the libertarians and crypto people. But why anybody would actually believe him is beyond me. It has never been a good idea to elect a narcissistic populist demagogue. All the most popular 20th century dictators garnished love and support before taking power. The only source of optimism that I can manage to find regarding Trump is that hopefully he is narcissistic enough to care more about his own popularity than to become authoritarian, but I really don’t understand why anybody takes his word for anything. Just because the current system is corrupt does not make Trump a good person or a good alternative. He won’t be saving anything, just like he didn’t the first time around. This election is between the 2 oldest people to have ever been president and either one of them will beat that record when they are elected again. The only thing I can do in good conscience is vote 3rd party. The duopoly must be broken.

He promised to drain the swamp last time. Then he learned who killed JFK and realized US presidents are not in the driver's seat.
