I'm following many African twitter pages and I regularly get posts about this guy. He genuinely seems awesome in the stuff he's doing for Burkina Faso (please don't inform me if he's got shady/dark stuff going like the leader of Rwanda, I really like this guy); I think he's also said he liked Thomas Sankara and wanted to continue his plan/dream/something (I'm sorry, there's a lot of posts about Traore; I can't recall every word). Unfortunately he's also had a lot of attempts on his life, and sadly the guys who come after him only need to be successful once. I genuinely hope he's grooming many successors in case ~~France~~ whoever's coming after him ends up being successful.

With everything Burkina Faso has, by all measure they should be an extremely wealthy country; I genuinely hope Traore can succeed.

Things are getting bad to the point that ordinary people are not able to tune it out anymore, and the pundit class' answer of is looking less and less compelling. Regular people are looking for explanations and guidance. Talk to them. They want to know what has worked in the past, and what can work now. They're open to new ways of understanding the world, and we have that. Be accessible if you can.

These people have the memory of a goldfish and Trump is such an ideological mercenary that he'll do whatever nets him the most money and prestige and back in 2020 that was stopping the pandemic.

answering every problem by starting with the premise that it's wrong to kill rich people and working backwards from that.

(actually way less succinct)

...but have you considered how hard I'm owning them on Twitter and Reddit with my bon mots and pointing out their hypocrisy? I bet those freaking MAGAts are crying now
