It might not swing that way?
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

It's so weird to me to see our Languish conservatives rooting for the fall of the Republican president. :unsure:

I mean, I understand this isn't a normal Republican or president, but still....

If Trump were a Dem, I would be a rabid Republican.

I wonder if DGuller would? Actually, I wonder how many of our lefties would abandon a left wing version of Trump....
I wouldn't be a rabid Republican, but I would be a rabid anti-Democrat.  I'm not exactly a barometer, though, I fall squarely into anti-woke pragmatic wing.

Fair enough. I actually believe you. You are ultra partisan, but it comes from a position of calculus.

What would a left-wing version of Trump even look like?
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Just like Trump. It's not like he has any ideology anyway.

The left would need some serious prep work laid for that to work though. Like maybe 20 years of MoveOn.org from the Shrubbery Presidency taking over the Party somehow.

Although the identity politics woke left is pretty terrifying in their own way.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Charismatic woke leftist imposing cancel culture and Lysenkoism from above.

Those first three seem like an oxymoron when put together.

I know it doesn't win elections but...

Biden has nearly 4 million more votes than Trump. :D

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today

The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.
