I saw a couple of short clips and ended up watching the whole thing one evening, while trying not to fall asleep. The last question that Tucker asks, is “will there be a civil war”. Trump comments on Jan. 6 and says he’s never seen such an out-pouring of love, but equally, he’s never seen such an out-pouring of hatred.

I know most of you don’t care about these figures all that much, but what Trump said is quite revealing. America is probably screwed now. If Trump doesn’t get elected, his supports might go crazy. Likewise, if he does get elected, it might embolden his supporters anyway. I don’t think that anyone will fix the problems in America. It’s too late now. If they’d hadn’t spent billions of dollars trying to rule the world, they could have paid reparations to blacks and possibly avoided the ugliest parts of the current political environment. They’d need jobs and manufacturing too of course.

There is a risk posed by people who misdirect their anger, like that 21 year old kid who shot random black people, painted swastikas on the wall of a supermarket or something, and then shot himself. Of course he’s 21. If he’d made it to 24 or 25 without deleting himself, he would’ve realised that there’s more to life, even if the economy is in the toilet.

2024 is gonna be a war I reckon. There’s no reconciling the differences with most people. If they can’t get justice and a fair standard of living for all people, then things won’t improve (conflict, division).

    There are some crazies in Trump’s supporters, but are they crazy enough to get shot by police? Very, very few will be and once they are dealt with, vastly fewer will put their lives on the line. There is a saying, but I don’t know where from, that goes something like “full bellies don’t make revolutionaries”. People may profess their love for the orange menace, but they aren’t going to form a peoples’ army over him.
