F-word being thrown around by Biden supporters. 2016 all over again?
ReplyDeleteNeither side will accept the result in case of losing. Add that to the politicization of the judiciary, the politicalization of intelligence, the surveillance state, militarization of domestic security, etc., and the US is in trouble of coming apart at seams owing to divisiveness, perception of government illegitimacy, and social unrest. Add that to the pandemic, rising inequality, a cultural war, etc. and the situation could become incendiary, especially if there is an economic steeper contraction.
ReplyDeleteMust be the Russians or Chinese fomenting a color revolution, wouldn't you say? (snark) That I need to mark this as humor says something, too.)
Red or Blue... those colors don't signify revolution.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine Americans would be willing to fight a civil over two 70-something swamp critters.
Trumpers vs. Biden supporters would be a massacre; Trumpers have most of the guns.
ReplyDeleteTom: Yes - that intercept article proves your point
ReplyDeleteThe revelation that President Donald Trump sat on his hands upon learning that Russia paid bounties to kill American soldiers?
There is enough wrong with Trump that sticking to the truth is more than enough. Repeating exposed and transparent propaganda fabrications like that, like beating the mummified and cremated, with the ashes shot into space, horse called Russiagate - only helps Trump. Clearly the Dems are in the dangerous believing their own lies stage too. Bringing up a media clown like Goldhagen rather than a real historian fits in with the general dopiness.
But Trump has clearly become more contemptuous of democracy and elections and law than the very low bar set by the Dems and their Russiagate nonsense or the traditional Republican election-stealing, vote suppression tactics. In a world with Democrats and "liberals" who were less insane, like those of 20 years ago, that would be even clearer.
If it’s a landslide then all of you guys handwringing will be for nothing...
ReplyDeleteJust calm down and wait for Nov 3rd...
ReplyDeleteOnly danger is if Biden wins in a squeaker.
ReplyDeleteIf Trump wins in a squeaker, the resistance don't have the weapons to stir up shit.
I still believe there'll be blood, as remaining protests are put down. Perhaps even another Kent State incident. Won't matter if its Trump or Biden at the helm.
The ruling class is authoritarian when they believe they have to be.
