As this article describes, civilization is under assault and it isn't by Trump supporters. We are much closer to a complete breakdown of society than anyone here would dare to imagine and if it happens there will be no place for even smug, elite progressives to hide, especially in their beloved Blue states and cites.

Obama declared before the 2008 election, "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America."
He was wrong, he had to wait until his vice president became his puppet in 2020.

Closeted subconscious racism has since swept across America since Obama's election. I mean, what's next, grandchild of a Mexican who crossed illegally decades ago will become President?
This is exactly the problem: Leftists fanning the flames of racism for political gain. Now there is a large segment of society which believes that anything wrong that happens in their life is the fault of people of another color. This will not end well.

How is this relevant? Sad that we can have an honest discussion on topics like this.

How would you know if closeted subconscious racism has swept across America since Obama's election if the racism is closeted and subconscious?
Racism is quite open and conscious these days. See the pandering to blacks and open hostility to Jews from American left wingers.

Sure, we see the Ahmaud Arbery killings and the Charlottesville rallies. Those ARE out in the open.
But it's the millions of quiet folks who check the box that I was referring to.
Ugly incidents for sure. But if you're going to use Trump's out-of-context comment on Charlottesville as an example of his racism, save it for an ignorant CNN viewer.
But there is more to the story right now. Biden's polling deterioration in recent months coincides with economic improvement. Inflation is down massively, unemployment is fine, real wages are rising and Biden's popularity is declining. I believe what is going on is oligarchy. The oligarchy controls the message that gets out. The unrelenting message from most media is that things are terrible. This is not grounded in facts, it is grounded in messaging.concordtom said:bearister said:

This is excellent. Thank you.
Basically, the vote for the Nazi Party was normal, happens everywhere all the time, and that is that when the economic **** hits the fan, people vote in self-interested ways for what they perceive will be to their own benefit.
The researchers also conclude that the best way to combat Naziism is to run economic policies that work for the masses.
Uh, gee, thanks. That's inspiring.
So, when doo doo happens for reasons that have nothing to do with government set economic policies, like say the ice caps melt, a global virus pandemic hits out of nowhere, or a madman terrorist from the other side of the world decides to blow some **** up, it's normal human behavior to go extreme on their neighbor in order to save themselves.
Right. Now that's what I call Hopeful!
Strap on, gents. It's going to get bumpy.

3 polls conducted since Oct 21 show Biden/Dems with double digit leads among 18-29 year olds!

These polls are more recent and more reliable for youth (don’t rely only on landlines, larger sample size, etc)… hope they’ll get the same coverage as some previous polls🙄 pic.twitter.com/9y74QosgDh
