I’m going live in 2 hours to talk about why Ukrainian-Americans are voting for Trump:
I’m not saying that all Ukrainian-Americans will vote for Trump. But many will. There was a recent show where it became clear how many there are, and so I’m going on to talk about it.
This will be fun!
Okay. At least when he sells Ukraine out to Putin, they’ll have no one else to blame.

“why Ukrainian-Americans are voting for Trump”
This is interesting… I can’t ever recall anything said by Obama, or Biden that put putin on his back foot like this.
Harris would be worse than Obama because I’m sure she doesn’t care at all about Ukraine (and wouldn’t even keep up Biden’s water torture aid policy).
But Trump seems able to really rattle putin and that’s… better than nothing at this stage.
Dude. Nothing teaches you, eh? Nothing.

This is one of the things I talked about today. It doesn’t matter if Trump really said “I’ll bomb your fucking Moscow” in 2016. What matters is that he said it last week. The words “bomb fucking Moscow” are bringing us closer to demystifying the need for Ukraine’s strikes on Russian airfields. It helps. Any little bit helps right now.
Kamala promises to “stand with Ukraine”, which is a revealing choice of words. She wants us to stand and not move. The stalemate is her preferred position. And we can’t survive a stalemate.
The story that landed best of all was about land acknowledgements. People don’t know about this, and it makes an impression.

You can imagine the reaction of people who remember socialism.

As an ex soviet I understand and agree with your antipathy towards socialism, but as an American Exceptionalist I am not willing to write off the possibility that perhaps Americans really can come up with a better greater socialism that has not been tried ever before anywhere?

Surely you jest.
American Exceptionalism– our ability to make one of the boldest experiments in the history of national governance, *work*, — has been hugely dependent on a broadly uniform (lots of minor variability within a larger framework) high-trust culture of Christianity, literacy, and dogged independence.
The same people promoting socialism here for longer than I’ve been alive, have been systematically dismantling all the things that made America work. They despise common literacy, fear the entrepreneurial spirit, view voluntary private charity with deep suspicion, loathe deep family ties, and seethe with barely-contained rage at sincerely-held religious beliefs.
You can’t have American Exceptionalism without those things.

American exceptionalism already built us an exceptionally great economy that no socialist economy could dream of matching.
That we are currently pissing it away is another issue.

They think they can hang America up by the ankles, rip its guts out, wear it around like a magic cape, and have everybody behave toward them like they behaved towared America, because now they’ve got the America Magic.
They have no idea why it worked to begin with. It is the most astonishing delusion.
An idea.
(facepalm)
For the exact same reason that a majority of Americans in all 50 States will vote for Trump.
