The cult is attached to Trump, yes. But when he dies his followers won’t suddenly wake up from their madness and flock behind a “normal candidate”.

They will still go for the crazy ones who act and talk the way Trump did. There may not be a second Trump, but they are lost nevertheless.

You really took the downvotes with grace.

13% of Democrats agree with Trump on that. What the actual fuck?

No surprise? People have nuanced views, different opinions, from left to center to right, even hardcore racist ones… and vote Democrats. Just as you could find conservatives who do not agree with the statement.

The statement is so vague and loaded and can be agreed or disagreed with from all kinds of people.

Edit: And yes it’s quite ironic(?) that so many people agree with this - in a country where people unironically track that they’re 12% German, or 20% Irish, or whatever.

Totally the same /s

In my experience: the higher up the management chain, the higher the chance that they are just in for the bonuses - not for the company / industry. And those bonuses are always bound to these numbers which need to go up. When the numbers go down, these people are long gone.

The first people to leave aren’t going to be the clock punchers, it will be the best and brightest who can easily find other jobs.

Yes. But some of them are also the most expensive ones, so when they leave costs go down. And we all know “numbers must go up” (=cost must go down).

You are correct. It was a monoculture forest and designed to be cut down sooner or later anyway.

On a scale between 0 and 1 (float) how sure are you exactly?

It does. I don’t want them to be guillotined either. I want to take their money, not their lives.

Its called empathy. Try it.
