-Removed-2 years. They will do this circus again in 2 years
At this point americans are casually flirting with fascism and rolling their eyes at anyone pointing it out. If only for the fact that election deniers are on the ballot and flatout telling anyone their intent is to appoint people in charge of overseeing future elections.
@averagejoe1 saidYou don’t seem to realise how close to fascism the republican party is.
Thankyou, looks like we will avoid the cliff, but it won't be easy to turn around. You have surely. been amazed how dems handle crime and our economy. I truly think most of our friends on the Forum are not aware of the real picture. Decreasing our energy, just so much.
You’re lapping it up like a drooling mongrol, everytime Fox news rings that wee bell for you.
I’ve pointed it out many a times, in many different ways: the republicans winning this election is bad news for Americans, bad ness for US democracy and excellent news for people like me who enjoy Monty Python-esque realities.

Maybe fascism isn't that bad.

@shavixmir saidIf it was good news in 2016, why can’t it be now? You can ferret out mistakes along the way, but me, I’d start with avg household income up over 5 grand.

I’m thinking some of y’all frisbeed and didn’t catch the train.
@shavixmir saidI have this fantasy that everything now will start anew with our discussions, which could be great and interesting, rewarding, and enlightening. But I fear you liberals will keep going back and back about Trump and things that have happened in the past.

You’ll say “ Trump cages!!” Mott might retort “they were trespassing! (nicer word)”” Then the post is lost.
I guess I will appointment myself monitor, and use the keyword buzzer, every time you fellers launch into that. It will keep a lot of boredom out of the forum.
Sorry Sonhouse.

And things have gotten a lot worse.
300+ republican candidates don’t trust the election system unless they, themselves, win.
The hypocrisy when filling the supreme court.
Lies, insurrections… the faeces just goes on.
And you think you’re safe from the fall out, because you have an average wage.
You are entering a world of pain.
You’ve been told. Warned.
And still you vote for people who believe in Qanon garbish.
Shame on you.
Civics education, especially, took a nosedive in the 1980s in the US. This is not to say a single high school civics class is all that's required to perpetuate democracy, but I do recall how teachers in those days warned us kids about the value of civics, and how an ignorance of civics could result in the eventual loss of democracy and the institution of authoritarianism.
How right they were.
The "left" does get overly zealous with its speech codes and melanin bean-counting, but this is largely played out only on college campuses and in schools. These are not the seats of power, however. I found multiculturalist propaganda noisome in the early 1990s, but the breadth and depth of multiculturalist policies has always been severely limited in scope, and the extent to which multiculturalist norms have taken root in society at large is for the most part a function of changing demographics that cannot be controlled even if all borders were sealed as of today.
The "right," on the other hand, takes its ignorance of civics and storms straight for the Capitol Building, attempts to hijack free and fair elections, and grasps for nothing less than absolute and unending power. They'll blow up the economy with a debt-limit shutdown (which only exascerbates the debt) if it wins them a single talking point on Fox News for a week, or feed Ukraine to Putin if it comports with a catchy slogan like "America First." Like a spoiled four-year-old the right now cries foul whenever it loses a race, claiming without proof that the vote count was rigged, and petulantly refusing to concede a lost race. Even after 50 judges threw Trump's baseless accusations out of 50 courts, the crying about a "stolen election" continued, and still continues to this day. But the average Republican now believes Trump really did win in 2020, and corollary to this fantasy is that those 50 judges are all part of a vast conspiracy to keep Democrats in power. Never mind that many of those judges were appointed by Republicans themselves. Scary! The depths of self-blinkered idiocy is like staring down a hole into hell's heart.
So, ignorance spans the political spectrum, but one has to choose the well-meaning and/or self-limiting ignorance over the hateful, selfish, childish, theocratic, and despotic ignorance that only threatens to grow stronger the stronger it gets.
@averagejoe1 saidNone. Why?

------------------------------------
And the average Democrat believes that the 2016 election was hacked, and,
they also now believe that Republicans will end democracy in America after the midterms.

@soothfast saidHe's not well, do what any normal person would do, like a trashman, or toilet cleaner in his condition would do i.e. take some time off and try to get your health in shape, come back when you're coherent.
