POTUS/General Election Thread 2020 + Aftermath

[Idaho]

The idea that any form of competence must been deep-state swamp creatures is distressing for me to hear. Hearing foreign policy experience and expertise being summed up as "the world first, america last" is so small minded and ignorant I have to walk away from conversations.

It's akin to the Chinese cultural revolution, or similar spasms of orchestrated political irrationality. Experts are counter revolutionary! Send the intellectuals to work the fields!

The right is triggered and motivated by loss aversion and fear of the other. The left isn't necessarily correct because this dynamic is absent. It might come to wrong decisions by a more rational method. However there is an absence of that fear mongering and vitriol - except in the cause of anti fascism, which, in my opinion, is fighting fire with fire.
