wait, why is trump doing this? it is THE tech china is behind on and could have been used strategically to keep them down. isnt that what both republicans and democrats want?
sometimes trump gives me hope the empire is gonna die, but i wanted to understand wtf do the republicans want to do.

Because Biden did it. That’s it. It’s a huge thing and it doesn’t have Trump’s name on it, therefore it’s bad and needs to go away.

i struggle to believe that politicians, especially the sitting president on the biggest empire in the world, won’t ruin their go at power simply because of that. i dont think their followers are putting out good analysis either.

Trump is a narcissist. Fascism is historically a direct result of narcissists getting into power.

i don’t think his personality traits are that relevant.
fascism tends to put narcissists and other specific types of people in power, but they are put there by capitalism when they need such a leader. fascism is not an organic and normal thing to happen to people.
historically that happens whenever the US invades you to bring democracy or when crisis that shakes the very core of the system looms.
