help-circle







  • There’s usually one or two people actually, but they don’t usually help their cause as much as they’d like to. That guy who missed Trump didn’t help anyone do anything except make trump almost a martyr. I had a friend who told me that he knew Trump would win after that. While I don’t think in absolutes and wasn’t as sure as him (and this was not a maga guy of the rails, this is a calm man who had more to lose than me) he was right that trump did win. Most people who assassinate a president or candidate don’t get the change they want.












  • You know that meme where the guys are in a circle and a guy says something, then a guy gives a big thumbs up and they ignore him? Imagine that group is the allies occupying just about all of German territory, and supporting the new nations they are building in the ashes, and the guy who says something is a small group who can “claim” they represent the previous government, but are frequently not even respected by the pockets of shattered resistance spawned by the rotting corpse of that government. Usually it is referred to as Debellatio. Their state had collapsed. No one really negotiated with them. They can call out “surrender” but the allies and the remaining hardliners did not care.
