In regards to war against China - no, and the US is not my or any working American's fault. Decades of failed governance created the space for Trump, fascist movements, anger, violence, poverty, and hopelessness, which won't disappear even if Trump dies tomorrow. He is a symptom, not the cause of the broken system, and our dysfunctional situation normalizes promoting the least dangerous candidate instead of structural change.

We need community, financial stability, and personal safety, but we are doomed because we defend our corrupt government instead of each other. We'd gain insight if we evaluated Trump's rise, but it would require acknowledging our ignorance, biases, and working-class struggles.

Trump isn't an anti-establishment savior (he's a megalomaniac, moron), but there are countless valid reasons Americans no longer trust the Biden's, Obama's, Clinton's, etc., and Trump channeled this discontent. People felt understood and heard, and that's better than intelligent empty words - at least, that's what I learned.

Either way, a capitalist-economic war against a billion people is on the horizon, and I'm glad I don't have children.
