ks2048 | on: Trump wins presidency for second time
I think this could be correct if only look at what they say rather than what they do.

We'll see if Republicans in control are anti-war, anti-elite, pro free speech, pro-working class, anti-large-corps, etc.

I know where I'd place my bets on policies.

This is a good point, but when you compare to Kamala, she's even worse on this front.

Kamala never talks like just a normal person. My wife was telling me this this morning. You can't get through the facade. How on earth are you gonna know what she's really gonna do?

My wife was like- "I just don't see Trump being a warmonger, but Kamala, she very well could be."

And then you take into account what she has said and done (Cheney anyone?) and it's open shut case of who's less warlike.

> "I just don't see Trump being a warmonger, but Kamala, she very well could be."

It's not Trump that will be the "warmonger", it's the people he empowers. Trump is a shallow personality -- all he wants is attention, he does not have an ideology. For the boring part of actually enacting policy he defers to supplicants and this time around his supplicants are more unserious and self-interested than the first time around.

This is just basic 2nd order reasoning that it seems like so many people in this country lack.

And Trump does? He says absolutely insane things.

However, "normal people" don't run for president.

Uh, Trump barely talks at all.

Trump has many 3 hour long podcasts and routinely gives 3 hour long speeches, off the cuff.

His ramblings are borderline incomprehensible.

He does move his mouth a lot but I wouldn't call whatever sounds he produces "coherent speech"

You do realize almost every time he goes off the cuff Fox and co pretend it doesn’t happen or they immediately go into damage control if it spreads, right?
