    Things like that seem to take years. Meanwhile in any sane world you’d expect US to return to sanity in four years

      Anybody who believes that Trump will tolerate any 2028-election to toss him out from power … is foolish.

      Sorry, but it’s true.

      The 2024-election was the FINAL chance the Dems had, & the fluffed themselves in their Hopium, & when it failed, they make-believe that they’re somehow going to be “allowed” to take the country back, later??

      Idiocy.

      It’s too late.

      Construct survival in the actual remaining-context, & then US Civil War Part2 ( which should begin around 2028, -/+ 1y ) will be more-survivable.

      Remain within Hopium, & … getting butchered in the coming tsunami-of-violence in North America becomes starkly more-likely.

      I’d prefer people be realists, & survive…


      Kaizen,

      That already happened four years ago. Since then there has been an insurrection, women has lost rights and a former President was convicted of fraud and was indicted for many more crimes. The American people voted that criminal into power despite knowing all of that. The US got a taste of sanity and decided they didn’t like that and chose batshit insanity.

        rather, the male-supremacists & the passive-white-supremacists voted against Harris, handing the victory to Trump.

        The Dems living-in-Hopium, Biden hanging-on-too-long, gutting Harris’s opportunity, etc, didn’t help any, but the root on-the-ground-truth, is that no boomers, nor any machos, were voting for any nonwhite woman president, & that swung the votes FAR harder than the left-press was willing to believe.

        G-D itself sees, its law ( what a Soul/Continuum sows, that-specific-Soul/Continuum reaps, no matter what, still is Universal LAW, though, so … this world chose to “blow its brains out” through its anti-accountability/anti-responsibility addiction, & that is going to be playing-out through the rest of this century, until it’s all done ) sees/enforces objectively, so no-matter-what-believers-pretend, objectivity’s getting enforced.

        Objectivity is the single “religion” that all ideologies/prejudices/“religions” prohibit from being valid.

        Who’s bigger: Universe or collective-human-ignorance??

        Natural Selection’s going to display the truth…

        Universe moves-on, & if we won’t grow-up, then we haven’t any place left in Universe.

        Show me ANY faction who holds that truth to be their center?

        Just as a herd of herdbeasts who stampede off a cliff don’t get Universe’s “undoing” that, so they can have a special extra-chance … we don’t either.

        Countless worlds, strewn through coundless universes-of-this-kind, in an endless-stream…

        Our narcissism is the root-problem: “God revolves around us: God is going to glorify us, God exempted us ( only this-faction! ) from having to grow-up! We only have to be making-believing!”

        is humankind’s most-normal answer.

        Ever tried arguing with a junkie who’s nearly-dead, about saving their life instead of taking more “junk”?

        Humankind’s behaving like that junkie…

        Sometimes you just have to let-go, witness, & move-on…

          I think you may have internalized some of the “male-supremacist” rhetoric yourself.

          In your wall of text you’re showing a tendency to blame everything on Harris, while you seemingly consider Trump the default choice. Why is that? Why did Harris have to earn your vote while Trump didn’t?
