AOC’s mind is like a web browser. 19 tabs are open, 17 are frozen and she has no idea where the music is coming from.

Lovely.
Plebs remains plebs, no matter left or right plebs. Plebs is plebs, and plebs runs by the dynamics and inner logic of plebs.

This article is, as someone better than me put it, a glass of warm pi$$.

^True, and we will see a growing number of inappropriate Nazi comparisons to slur the political opponent till the election is over. Could be a supplement to Godwin's law. I wonder what the remaining victims of Hitler's regime think about it, seeing their suffering relativized in such a moronic manner.

Chaos, hatred, fear mongering, lies, conspiration theories, and, indirectly, hope for more fire and violence - the Republican Congress is over. As I browse through American websites and media and try to get an idea of how it is being received this second time, it is depressing and disillusioning to see that this destructive propaganda seems to be being enthusiastically received again by so many people. I would have thought that more people had learned from the past three and a half years. I probably expected too much. Or still underestimate the depth of the rift and the extremism in the polarization.

I hate to say it, but the race is open again.The worst in America again wins momentum, and at frightening pace. Trump'S second term is a realistic scenario again, no matter the polls.

The Ununited States of America. "Divided we stand."

Saw a brieif report, a five minute docu sort of kind, on TV a couple of days ago, an mid-age Swiss couple travelling across all of the US and photographing, portrying people offsides the usual tourism tours. They just released a photo book on their joruney. They said what depressed, shocked and alarmed them the most is that practically everywhere and in every corner of the US people told them that even at home and inside their core families they cannot talk and avoid at all cost to talk about politics.

The poison has sunk in deep.

Just read the BBC news article (link above) regarding the speech Trump gave on the final night of the Republican convention and was surprised that

Quote:

Mr Trump mentioned Mr Biden more than 40 times; the Democrat did not once name Mr Trump in his speech last week, though criticism of the president permeated Mr Biden's remarks.

I predict this will yet develop into a nasty fight.

Polarization works two-ways. Trump does his share. The mob does it's.

And the latter gives the first what he hopes for when spilling oil into burning fires.

Its as I said already two months ago: Trump cannot win by his own means anymore, I said back then. But the Democrats still can lose it for him, I said.

In a way a second temr by Trumpo may be good for Europe, because it leaves politicians over here no foul excuses to reverse shy emancipation attempts from America early just becasue now it is Biden at the helm, if it could hold it, but forces them and everybody to realise that we must kind of break with America - which necessarily includes to learn how to and to gain the strength to compensate the vacuum it will leave behind, militarily, but also regarding our econmic ties breaking up.

Nothing wrong in a solid dose of exixtential threat form time to time, it seems. It makes people to reconfigure their meanwhile derailed views and priorities, and focussing on what is really important and vital again - or fall.

That could be true but the lack of criticism by Biden, Pelosi and the left wing MSM has embolden the mob. They think it will hurt Trump. They could care less about anything else.

Ask yourself a question. If Hillary Clinton was president would any of this Antifa/BLM rioting be going on? What would and could she do to stop it? What is Joe Biden going to do to stop it?

If Biden becomes President do you think there is anything he could do or say or promise that would get these people to stop? It is pretty hard to reason with a mob.

Hard to say since one didn't happen and the other might not happen. It's just storytelling with no facts.

True. I was simply asking for an opinion. Do you have one?

Buddahaid · 08-28-20, 01:07 PM

Sure but it's of no consequence.

Onkel Neal · 08-28-20, 01:21 PM

Not true at all!

Wait, what are we arguing about?
