You don’t need 5D chess to know that Trump would be worse. We have already seen it. Only last time he had sane people limiting his destruction. Now the lunatics are running the asylum.

We already saw that he didn’t destroy democracy or start WW3. You can credit that to “sane people” limiting him but the fact is that what we saw wasn’t the Fourth Reich. It was just a shitty Republican president.

The first cyanide pill didn’t kill me, so the second won’t either…

Alternatively, the sky didn’t fall last time so it probably won’t fall this time.

If you remember that parable, the sky actually did fall that last time.

Also, for the 1.2 million Americans who died from Covid, the sky did fall last time.

If you remember the lesson of that parable, no one believes the chicken when the sky falls and the chicken has no one to blame but himself. You can’t keep saying it’s the most important election of our lifetimes because we stop believing it.

And maybe the sky falls this time, but it’s the chicken’s fault that we don’t believe it.

The lesson is also not to ignore a message of obvious danger because the messenger is flawed.
