What just occurred in a nutshell:
the first convicted felon to become president, the first adjudicated rapist, the first insurrectionist, the first president in our country's history to refuse to admit he lost and transfer power without attempting to overturn an election. He is many things ... and in him, our country is reflected. It's kind of refreshing to know that this is who we are. We can throw out the platitudes and the high-minded nonsense.
It doesn't matter anymore for decades what happens after this.
The Supreme Court is bought, 2 plan to step down for an incoming unstable idiot President. That's 2-3 generations worth.
Congress is bought, the constant flow of money from these organizations and blasting of pro-conservatard views in local media (especially ones that affiliate themselves with ABC, NBC, etc) in red areas. Seat after seat bought bought bought.
The federal court system was filled with tRump appointees last time and caused a mess. We see politics seeping into cases where a federal judge makes decisions based on what they believe in the news that have no relation nor material impact on a case.
Naturalized citizens have far more to worry about than the "illegal" immigrants. U.S. born citizens far less so.
Taiwan is done, it will be negotiated off. Ukraine is done, another negotiation. There are more conflicts that will spiral out of control because of an unstable idiot and the billionaires he owes the viability of his candidacy to.
I trusted the Democratic Party to use the billion dollars to fight like hell. Unfortunately, there is too much garbage information out there and misplaced trust. Unfortunately, the Democratic party doesn't know how to get past the topics "Women's Rights", "Obamacare", "Social Security". They had an opportunity to change the narrative with Harris. She owns a gun, put out an ad with her firing her gun at a "home invader" target. Who cares, just do it. Some people are single issue enough that they will start to listen to the other parts of her message. It's a gateway.
Democrats need to stop this BS about focusing on the topics above. No one cares about social security, healthcare or abortion if the current system is shit. Why should I vote Democrat to maintain a broken system? It's not about fresh ideas, its about getting your message out there even if you have to step on some toes. You can't get anything done like the last congress if you do not have a majority. 2020 was an anomaly for Democrats, they had a white guy talking about infrastructure. Ok, sounds good. What do Democrats have now? Abortion. Give me a break.
Democrats got rid of Biden because of OLD AGE from a media funded by billionaires. Total morons. A distraction and they all fell for it.
The unstable idiot told America again and again that he would screw it all up in a 2nd term. They STILL elected him.
We have a f**ked healthcare system, a f**ked real estate system, a f**ked legal system, a f**ked political system and so on. This idea that we can just fix it by going backwards is something else.
Just constant distractions. A dead country. It was dying in 2008, so realistically this is a slow aftermath. Most people don't even know when a company is dying and are "surprised" their lives are upended when the deed is done. Ugh.
A perfect video explaining how sh*t has hit the fan.
