In the United States, the president is the executive, and in that role, he carries out the laws. Those laws represent policy. The president does not make the laws (the policy); he simply carries it out.

trump -- who never managed to win even 50% of the vote in any of his three elections -- behaves like a dictator, not a president. He disregards the laws, the courts, the constitution, our traditions, and the norms of our society. Weak minded people follow, worship, and defend him.

Do you want to win? Because this obviously how you win.

Yes, as an American, winning would be a great change. Over just the past year and a half, we've lost the work and investment of multiple generations. Rebuilding our alliances, our educational institutions, our scientific infrastructure, the rule of law, the trust in our public institutions, etc. will now be the work of several generations to come. And given how much inertia we've discarded, and how much momentum we've transferred to countries such as China, I'm not sure that America will ever be able to recover its position of leadership.

But I assume that the point that you're trying to make is that my strong opposition to ignorant, corrupt, and incompetent leadership is only going to help the ignorant, corrupt, and incompetent movement to continue to amass power. If that is indeed the case, then we are all doomed.

My trashcan mac is maxed out (24 hardware threads, 128GB RAM, 2x of the top GPU, etc.) It runs great, but it's 13 years old, and the performance for most things is very poor by modern standards. It most runs a bunch of x86 Linux VMs now, and a Plex server. An M3 ultra with 128GB RAM would completely destroy it on the perf side. On the other hand, it's relatively efficient with power for a 2013 computer, and it will probably run for another 20 years.
