The issue is three fold.

A societal transition that some people (boomers and women) havent been forced to wake up to yet. From a society that worked for the interests of your group to one that was actively hostile.

Single mothers not teaching children fundamental truths because they think the rules and coddling they got in life apply to everyone

Deliberate propaganda for over 60 years about how diversity and acceptance are the only virtues that didnt recieve meaningful resistance when exposed to a mono culture because "there are no of those people around anyway" and holding the belief was a free virtue signal for a long time.

For those saying South America (mostly Brazil) is the model. Maybe. Good betting odds. But those countries existed with a release valve of North America to dump excess population. Nobody really knows what happens when there is no release valve and nowhere to flee. And no major external country putting the thumb on the scale.

China's fate is highly coupled to the US and any decoupling would likely involve coupling to Russia instead. I dont see them being involved past making sure the communist nation of California is armed and can ship food to them

It all makes sense when you realize the real elites are very much rootless people that have no qualms abandoning where they currently reside.

yet Nixon is still the most corruptorest of politicians ever, and nobody has ever come close to being as much of a poopy head as him.

I knew my American history professor was based when she spent two class periods explaining why Nixon was actually a pretty good president and Watergate was a frame job. That's the kind of lesson that would get a college professor shitcanned faster than a blink today. Nixon's worst evils are often the things that the leftoids begrudgingly celebrate like the EPA, because bureaucracy has spread like a cancer thanks to that.

Therefore Trump is ineligible for office as the 22nd Amendment reads as follows:

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice"

You don't actually have to sit in office to be elected.

I'm pretty sure they'll try assassinating him before that.

My money is still on WW3/Covid 2 Hemorrhagic Boogaloo being options 1 & 2 respectively.

Maybe because people keep calling them "elites".

I'd argue the vast majority of people who are billionaires aren't any more or less intelligent than your average schmuck. It's the same effect calling U.S. representatives "leaders" has had on people. No sane person would argue that any of our politicians current or prior are particularly intelligent, for at least a good century now.

It's a fun, batshit theory, but the electors elect the President, not the voters, and the electors elected Biden.

Yeah, there is a process for excluding electors that are determined to be illegitimate, but once the VP counts the votes, I don't think there's a take-backsies clause.

From everything I've heard from democrats, there's nothing you can do once a vote is counted. There's essentially no recourse EVEN IF you were to stuff metaphorical ballot boxes in all 50 states.

Something like ordering a new vote outright for a presidential election is unfamiliar unprecedented territory for the USA. A mechanism to redo such a thing doesn't really currently exist. If push came to shove and the country found itself in such a position the Supreme Court would most likely be involved with addressing it in some way.

The levels of polarization in the nation seem to indicate that no matter who wins in a fair or unfair manner, the losing side will not be happy to say the least. That especially would be the case if one side won in the first vote, then lost in the second one.

Am I the only one who was unaware other cars were even permitted to be operating within the same area as the motorcade?

Why was Biden driving though

Pretty sure they don't let presidents drive. They have Secret Service agents do that. The car crashed into the motorcade taking him to his home (I think) from the Biden-Harris 2024 HQ.

The jungle is neutral? Fuck me, put these 'strategists' on the front lines. The jungle was an asset to the Vietnamese because they knew it like the back of their hand. They have learned nothing.

To be fair the jungle would bestow its benefits to anyone who knows it like the back of their hand.

Granted that's still a really stupid fucking way to phrase it but what can you expect from an officer trying to wax poetic about field training?
