      Trump is a narcissistic sociopath with dementia. He doesn’t care that this war is insanely unpopular. He’s fully convinced in his own abilities to steal the 2026 election and permenantly end US democracy.

      And the Dems have, at best, not offered any meaningful resistance to him whatsoever. At worst, they’re literally complacent.

    The thing that sucks about all of this is that, yet again, we’re all footing the cost of this.
