Many people would vote for Trump simply because they think Biden is worse.

But people in 2020 voted for Biden because they at that time thought that Trump is worse.

Its a common reasoning fallacy of

"If Biden bad, Trump good"

And

"If Trump bad, Biden good"

What this reasoning fails to see is the other option:

"Both are bad".

Politics in USA are no longer about who is good.

Politicians dont even try to be much good, but they just spread propaganda to make the other guy look worse.

And Trump is not the cure for this.

Trump had his chance as president.

It didnt work out well.

In my opinion, Biden is far from perfect, but that doesnt make me support Trump.

I concede that Biden is not doing very well as president.

Its hard to deny it when Israel is being supported in doing what it does, which could result in a lot more wars than what we have now.

I understand that Israel has nukes, but that does not mean it deserves unconditional support in what it does.

But Trump would also support Israel.

Trump would support Putin.

Americans have a bad habbit of "If current president is doing bad, elect the other."

What we must understand is that Trump is not someone who fights for democracy.

While Biden fights against Putin, Trump will concede to Putin, giving him victory so that he can move on to next target in the future.

It will also send message to dictators world wide that "yes, you can get away with invading a country and even profit from it greatly.".

To claim that it wont send a clear message how being aggressor is good, is clearly false, as Putin winning in Ukraine would be an example of how being aggressor is good.

So Trump is not a cure.

He will not save USA from anything, just like he didnt do anything special the first time he was president.

The longer Trump is relevant the more desperate the deep state gets. The more desperate the deep state gets the more they expose themselves. The more they expose themselves the more people believe they exist.

The more people that believe the deep state exist, the more people resist.

That is the cure and the justification for voting for anyone or anything the deep state finds unacceptable.

One of Trump’s marketing professors at Wharton, the late William Kelley, apparently thought little of his student. A close friend of the professor, Frank DiPrima, said that Kelley told him 100 times over three decades that “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had.”

They also believe in a thing called systematic racism. They're not in the position to complain about nebulous definitions.

In simple terms we're just talking about the agenda and cooperation of some basic interests groups which (by their own desire) are not perceived as being major political forces.

The interests are:
Public Corruption - Stealing money via taxes and inflation, laundering through government contracts, routed into the pockets of people who then have a vested interest in continuing the trajectory that made them rich. Not at all hard to understand or even that new, but the scale of the problem has become immense. These people were the original players of both sides, their public face is capitalistic, but a "capitalist" who gets his money from government theft is a bit like a christian who thinks jesus may not have actually existed.

Total domination of the world - cliche isn't it? But it's become clear there are people who actually want this and they think they're perfectly entitled to do so regardless of whether the culture and laws they're rotting from within is truly superior and liberating for all humanity. They've been called war hawks and hard liners but that's all rather tame compared to the way they really think. They don't go to war just for honor or oil. Those are goals everyone in a nation might actually agree with. They manufacture wars to justify maintaining the war machine and to keep the message current and loud: Don't fuck with us, we're the boss.

These two have had many names and one of the more recent is "military industrial complex", it also describes the structures in fascist Italy and nazi Germany before the war rather well.

The third interest is globalists, there are those who think the nation-state is the root of all our problems and giant bureaucracies are the solution. They're futurists and often climate catastrophe lunatics. These kind of people revel in things like Covid-19 as they revel in anything that justifies centralizing regulatory power to international and undemocratic institutions.

Since they are catastrophists and globalists they often believe there are too many humans and are perfectly content with negative growth rates.

==========================================================================================================

The first two are essentially secret, and they form the heart of the deep state; nobody admits to supporting them but unelected positions are easily filled with people supporting those agendas and elected positions are easily corrupted by puppeting campaigns or officials before or after being elected.

The genius of the modern military industrial complex is the inclusion of globalists as semi-pawns and the inclusion of social-justice-politics as their opium of the masses. Well it's not opium so much as LSD.

You could say the military industrial complex was dealt a blow by the end of the cold war, they evolved (like a pokemon) into the global deep state.

This is nothing more than a list of grievances with human nature (well, those that are not just batshit conspiracy theories). People will always work to ensure their own best interests and will collaborate with others whose interests align. Nothing about this gives anyone a reason to support or vote for Trump, in fact many like myself would argue Trump and the individuals he had brought into the fray exhibit these qualities to much more extreme degree.

H.L. Menken understood why it is so important to defend the rights of those you disagree with and not make exceptions for your political enemies: “The trouble about fighting for human freedom is that you have to spend much of your life defending sons of bitches; for oppressive laws are always aimed at them originally, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.”

The deep state is the reason why 90 billion was allocated to be spent on pet projects overseas while only 20 billion allocated to help Americans.
