cosigning the shit out of this. the most coherent thing to confuse the shit out of people still trapped in a “left vs right” framework would be for Bernie to also endrose it and implicitly ally with Trump, given he (seemingly alone on the national stage) represents what the Democrats used to be when they had actual beliefs.
finger in the air guesstimate puts 70% of elected reps and 90% of dems in the same “party” that you may as well just call “the regime”, never mind “neocon”.
they don’t have “politics” in the sense you might find intellectually stimulating to debate besides their own power and wealth. Bernie actually does (even if you think some of it is a bit nuts) and Trump is arguably even more entertaining: he is pure chaos exposing these fault lines.
I have no idea where I was going with this ramble besides wanting to land on: Trump endorsing Bitcoin was inevitable. embrace it and shame any dems with a moral compass to one-up him and support it even harder. then sit back and enjoy the collapse of the GAE 👍

The momentum of this neocon freight train ain't changing... There may yet be some influence as to where it will go off the tracks and come to rest though
Ligitimate ways to view trump:
* A dangerous fascist who will accelerate us towards 1984
* A crusader for freedom protecting us from those who would accederate us towards 1984
* A useful idiot who sometimes helps crusaders of freedom
* A useful idiot who sometimes helps corporate/socialist fascists
* Basically just as bad as all the other politicians
* Mainly an issue because he gives false hope in democracy to people who know better
politicians will say whatever it takes to get elected
