Horrible behaviour, yet his supporters still support him.
mindslight•2w ago
I think it's just a small segment of terminally online people that are still hardcore supporters. Shamelessly killing an American citizen in retaliation for protesting and overtly alienating our long-time allies means it takes a much stronger firehose of rationalizations to keep fooling yourself that these things are about "immigration enforcement" or "national security". My direct observation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46642922

Not that I expect the latent supporters to ever really own up to their mistake (I mean, who even supported that Iraq War anyway? Must have been some liberal conspiracy). And of course the main question is still how do we actually immobilize and evict this piece of shit from the White House.

> I think it's just a small segment of terminally online people that are still hardcore supporters.

On HN alone there are thousands of Trump supporters. It's completely insane because you'd think that they have zero excuses but it does not make any difference at all.

Six months ago they most likely couldn't point out Greenland or Denmark on a map and now they have many opinions and all of them are informed by the same crazy reasonings.

mindslight•2w ago
My "small segment" was in the context of everyday people in the offline world, as opposed to the terminally online which HN clearly has a higher percentage of.

And yes, we had all hoped that more access to information would help people reason better. But it mostly seems to help them rationalize more.

"Flood the zone" working exactly as intended.

It's all to distract attention from Epstein. Do you remember Epstein?

As the Epstein Event Horizon approaches, expect even crazier stunts. Heaven help the planet.

hunglee2•2w ago
The question on what to do about Trump is now a global concern. I can't help think that he behaves like Cartman from South Park. How did Stan and the rest of the boys deal with him?
treetalker•2w ago
I analogize him to a wildfire: a statistical inevitability, tragic, causing broad and profound destruction and suffering, difficult to control after blazing up, will eventually run out of fuel, will eventually be a source of renewal.

What we need to be talking about are the additional amendments to the Constitution that are clearly necessary to ameliorate the current mess (e.g., fixing current Congress, fixing current Judiciary, electoral college, two-party system, Executive's ability to act without first getting permission, self-dealing, cancerous growth of federal over state power, etc.), and how to get them passed. I have a feeling that either we amend or the country fails and/or we end up in a second civil war.

Also, "Goddam, Cartman, that is one fat a$$!"

rsynnott•2w ago
... I mean, given that Macron is the primary advocate of using the anti-coercion instrument (which is kind of an economic mutually assured destruction system), I'm not sure he's going to be that concerned about some tariffs on wine at this point.
milowata•2w ago
Hopefully the Supreme Court takes away Trump’s tariff toys soon and we can stop doing this.
