The Border Wall is hardly an overriding issue.

The majority of Americans are in favor of it.

Joe Biden is building it, albeit reluctantly:
“The border wall — the money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get to them to reappropriate it, to redirect that money. They didn’t. They wouldn’t. And in the meantime, there’s nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated. I can’t stop that.”

Most democrats, like myself, don't really care one way or the other. Go ahead and build your stupid wall; it doesn't work anyway. It costs a lot of money, but we waste money on a lot of things.

Um, lol no. Those fancy, high-tech houses you see in the foreground are multi-million dollar abodes housing wealthy families, and those drones are Amazon drones delivering their orders.

Much of Chicago already looks not too different from that.

But it will get even better. Like this:

Biden is doing what even moderate Presidents do; playing to the party line. The fact that he's kept a number of Trump's policies in place is the opposite of what a non-moderate would do. Example: the BLOTUS' tariffs on China caused inflation. Yet Biden kept them in place. He would benefit politically by removing them and lowering inflation. Biden also followed the BLOTUS' plan for withdrawal from Afghanistan, which also harmed him politically. Left-wing voices were calling for him to remain, so the US could protect things like women's rights. A left-winger drops the tariffs and stays in Afghanistan.

The difference is Trump and other rich people like him aren't actively trying to ruin people that are middle class and such, while the Dems are and the rich elite Dems are. Trump isn't forcing anyone to use a electric car, he isn't jacking up energy prices, he isn't forcing Americans to pay for illegal immigrants free food, free housing, free education, free healthcare and so on like the Dems are, Trump isn't releasing criminals into society who are doing rampant theft and violent crime but the Dems are...

I don't care if someone has five mansions and a private jet good for them as long as they protect my right to define FOR MYSELF what success is. I don't want a electric car if I want I want to gas up and drive across the nation in a couple days, not stop for hours just to recharge by battery. I want to eat steak and not tell me I must ration it for the climate while those that are elite telling me to eat steak.

I didn’t make it much past page three.

Do people really still think their options, concerns, input really matter to the people they vote for?

The hill is so messed up. They make their rules up, often one the go. Many of the rules we as citizens have to abide by but they can violate.

Exempt from the no call list.

Exempt from false advertising.

They no longer are for the people. They have totally flipped that to their advantage.

It will be interesting to see how each side reacts to the outcome of the election.

Just in case. Learn a little bit of prep skills and stock up to last for while. Then sit back and let it play out.

Ah normalcy bias. Rome never fell so Rome will never fall. But then it fell. Normalcy bias works until it doesn't.
