I say rigged & stolen election - with the media as a fully armed propaganda machine for the democratic party. Meanwhile you've got Twitter & Facebook & the like, censoring conservatives in order to cover up democratic wrongdoings. How many people would have not voted for Biden if they had known what was really happening with his son and the Ukraine?
Rigged.
Stolen.
Illegitamate president.
Communist vice president.
Well, we didn't have a conservative candidate this time around so whether Twitter censored them or not didn't matter for the Presidential election.
If it was stolen or rigged, how come the Trump campaign didn't argue it in court? Heck, in once cases they made it clear that they weren't arguing such. Why? Because they couldn't argue it without committing perjury.
Personally, I think the US will implode under the weight of all its perversity, debt, decadence, corruption, and dysfunction sometime within this decade, likely in the next 5 years.
And just for the record, I don't blame any politician for this. The cause for our inexorable and irreversible decline and unavoidable collapse has to do with socio-historical, geological, economic, and cosmic forces far beyond man.
2008: Obama wins, conservatives claim America is over.
2012: Obama wins again, conservatives claim America is over.
2016: Trump wins, liberals claim America is over.
2008: Obama wins, conservatives claim America is over.
2012: Obama wins again, conservatives claim America is over.
2016: Trump wins, liberals claim America is over.
Maybe it's time to grow the hell up.
You forget
2017: Turns out Trump is liberal; Democrats and Republicans are up in arms.
Future generations tend to rebel against their parents so I expect a swing back towards more classical liberalism compared to today's nanny state, echo chamber liberalism where free speech is frowned upon and identity politics and special privileges based on sex and skin color is disguised as tolerance. Maybe one day we'll learn to truly respect and embrace our differences rather than pretend we have no differences.
Still, the nation will get more progressive, and that's a healthy thing. Technology will naturally make it possible. If the elites stay out of the way, and let things progress naturally, I think things will be fine. If they try to rush things or usher in some "great reset" dictatorship, they risk plunging us back into the dark ages and making things much worse. The mixed style capitalism we have now with Europe and the US works fine. It doesn't necessarily save everyone, but you are never going to save everyone, nor should you try. The important thing is it incentivizes growth and innovation which is what we need if we are one day going to have a planet where we can feed everyone, educate everyone, and have zero carbon emissions. This technology trickles down so to have a healthy class of wealthy people who initially buys these innovations helps everyone. Think long term... 50-100 years out... not short term, what's going to happen tomorrow, as so many people do.
The costs of trying to save everyone outweigh the benefits. I voted 25-40 years. At some point we might end up merging with other nations like Canada. Mexico still has a long ways to go yet. If the elites want to focus on nation building why not start these these types of countries? I don't think we split up unless the elites really can't help sticking their fingers into affairs they shouldn't be concerned with.. there might be civil war then. Leave our constitution, rights, and checks and balances alone.... don't try to usurp them and play God. It will backfire and you will cause what you are trying to prevent. Lefties: Leave our guns alone. Stop condoning criminal behavior for political gain. Righties: Stop screwing with legal marijuana and abortion rights.
In the end it doesn't matter which president wins the election if there is gridlock so you Trump tards trying to reverse the result.. get over it. Life goes on.
It has become the antithesis of the principles it was founded on
