I find it sad that president from the late 70s showed more care for his constituency and broader world during the cold war than what our current president seems to be actively avoiding during a self funded genocide.
… And that the current president is BY FAR the better of the two potential options offered; and that people still say “I don’t care if the absolutely terrible guy gets in as long as I show my displeasure for the incumbent by not voting. That’ll stick it to everyone.”
One of the consequences of the Cold War was a sense of domestic nationalism that fell apart when the USSR did. No point in working together without a singular globe spanning enemy to work against.
Ironic that Ayn Rand’s anti-communist philosophical selfishness came out of Soviet Russia in the 40s, and that’s what will likely bring the American Experiment to an end.

It is really shocking how much this election resembles 1980 tbh.
i find it sad that americans see this as ‘weak’.
