I dont see it at all.
They're just fighting over who gets the stripmine the remnants of empire.
I doubt he or anyone close to him is thinking 5yrs into the future.

I think he genuinely wants to save the US as a political entity, buy I don't think he has the fortitude to do it, or even knows how to make it happen. However big of a fucking mess it looks to us, it's way worse behind the scenes, and they know many of those details that would probably blow our minds. I doubt anyone can do it honestly, and I doubt most men want to. They seem to go into it thinking they can do it and then at some point they start behaving like they're looting a sinking ship because they see that it can't be fixed. At best they maintain the status quo, which is a government's primary job, no matter how unjust the status quo is.
Yeah checks out.
Anyone playing at that level is probably a psychopath
I think we got to the disillusioned looting stage a while back.
I'd say definitely a megalomaniac. You have to really think you're the shit to even consider trying to be the president of the US. Psychopaths, definitely overrepresented at that level yes.
I really would love to know though, what in the fuck do these guys find out when they get to that level? We probably can't really imagine. Is it aliens? Secret nukes somewhere? Ancient magic in the religions? Who fucking knows but whatever it is it's probably wild as fuck, beyond my silly imagination. I've read some pretty out there takes, definitely there's some secret technology involved and power game strategies you can only understand when you know about that shit.
Allen Dulles, the first director of the CIA, said "we will know our work is done when everything the american people believe is a lie." I think there's insight in exploring that, I think the reason things increasingly make less sense is because the things factoring into the decisions these people make are completely unknown to us. Think about some things you understand that most people refuse to see and even get emotional about you saying, like "you're not born with rights", a very powerful realization, and imagine your entire worldview being made up of shit like that. That's the environment these people are operating in. I wouldn't want it and I want it all to crumble, I just hope that doesn't mean the end of everything. I really try to figure it out though because I really want to know more about how the world works.
Whatever it is, there seems to be general consensus that NOT leaking it in any substantial way is in everyone's best interest.
Which seems like it should narrow the field a little bit...
But I'm really bad at this.
I'm pretty used to the idea that my ideas are wrong and even my immediate senses are only generally accurate.
But it's taken a while to come to grips with that lol
