In America

Think of the incredible morality-bending & twisted pretzels of logic it took for Trump to get elected a second time after a very public tryout that included breaking the world record for US Presidential impeachments and fomenting an insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, and now here we are in the middle of a war with Iran during which Trump’s decisions have been bafflingly stupid in historic ways, both in execution and in the unfathomable consequences of which he apparently took a grand total of 0 minutes to consider, and what’s the general buzz from people about getting out of this war?

Nobody’s expecting Trump to actually win the war.
Nobody’s expecting anyone to ask him how he could be so stupid to have made it happen in the first place.
Nobody’s expecting him to have us come out of this fracas better than we were when we started it.
Nobody’s expecting him to give a shit about the 13 dead soldiers.

ALL anybody seems to want at this point, ALL anyone is demanding on the American side of things…

…is that we somehow make it so Trump can get out of it without being embarrassed; the #1 concern seems to be what we all need to do to make sure that Sir Lord FatBoy Baby Fuckwad has a soft landing without any of his easily bruised & tender feelings being hurt.

And when he runs in 2028, he will start with a baseline of 70M people eager to vote for him again.

That’s the single-most example of “white male privilege” I can even imagine, much less recall.
