It’s ok to make mistakes, people are generally understanding and it’s usually not as bad as you think. The main thing is that you replay the mistake over and over in your mind constantly for several weeks after it happens. Once that’s done you can just add it to the backlog of embarrassments that your brain can randomly select from during otherwise peaceful moments.

Sorry, delaying cases and sentencing is only for the ruling class.

There are plenty of checks and balances. People write the checks, other people apply them to their balances.

Threatening to use the armed forces against your political opponents is generally considered not a great sign for a democracy as well.

I’m not American so not sure exactly who my camp is or what I was supposed to do. Enjoy your measles and smallpox, hope it was a good trade in exchange for making zero difference to Palestinians in the best case.

Haha, yeah that’ll show em!

Now instead of having a president that supports the genocide of Palestinians you’ll have… checks notes … a president that supports the genocide of Palestinians. Wait there’s more here… doesn’t believe in climate change, a guy who actively wants to prove that vaccines don’t work actually in charge of health related shit, enabling the genocide of Ukraine (hey a whole new genocide!), pulling out of alliances and what’s this last fun one, threatening the already flawed foundations of US democracy by, among other things, threatening to deploy the military against political opponents.

Is that what winning and being morally superior looks like? Because it looks pretty awful from here.

Surely not. Even the part about tipping?
