Days like this I try to think about MLK Jr. 

Fought an uphill battle and hated by the majority his whole life. Risked his life and the safety of his family. But didn't despair and still found things to love about America.

He was playing an infinite game. Ignorant bullies play finite games.

Mlk was a litteral socialist my dude lmfao

you can be an apple without being a red apple

Trump is like MLK in the sense that he’s for the people and against the system

He’s created a movement that is nation wide and has created real lasting change

He has iconic speeches and images

Lol a lot of people gonna be real disillusioned here in a couple years

Yeah I agree but I mean disillusioned with Trump and the GOP, and really the ruling class owned duopoly parties as a whole. People still thinking Trump gives 2 shits about anyone worth less than $100m are in for a rude awakening.

as I see it many people were already disillusioned, that’s been the animating core of both Trump wins. Harris doubled down on the threat he poses to the system, in doing so kinda campaigned in defense of something people have lost faith in

More optimistically, it seems less like mass ideological drift to the right - none of it feels permanent
