From past experience : I seem to be one of the ones that actually will not look outside.

One lesson I have paid attention to is when people say “learn from my mistakes”, and in this hypothetical, I would first think that we’re being told to avoid making a mistake someone else has made.

At least until I find out why we’re not looking outside, and can evaluate whether I will look. I’ll then promptly make whatever the wrong decision is after learning why.

Don’t trust us.

We put this fuckface in power twice, and did absolutely nothing effective to stop him for TWO YEARS of his second round, even with the countless easily impeachable offenses he committed and bragged about on public television.

Make that trust need to be earned back.
