POTUS: He's A Witch!

Re: POTUS: He's A Witch!

Here's the thing, it isnt straight up vote tampering that influenced the election. It was the psychological subtleties by planting false stories, creating just enough doubt.

This isn't the brute force CIA "topple a Central American dictator to instill our will" elections. This was "plant just enough doubt *everywhere*" to create confusion. And now Putin is playing with house money because someone who "has never met Putin, but somehow tied to so much Russian businesses that also works with Putin" that no one cares.


Like if the Hunter Biden story was such an issue, why wasn't it investigated from 2016 to 2018? Why is there zero details about Uranium One anymore? There is so much scattershot from this administration that Dick Cheney is refusing to go hunting with Trump...

It's funny you mention the CIA because they also have decades of experience with the kind of psychological manipulation the Russians did so perfectly to us in 2016. It all comes out of marketing. The majority of people are very easily played.

So Nazi rule here is inevitable?

There are plenty of regimes out there to choose from. The Nazis are just the most famous. The whole "start a world war of conquest" thing seems outdated though.

And some are now fighting that. A full blown coup will not happen here. I'd stake my life on that.

It doesn't have to happen. Putin was democratically elected. Marcos was loved. So was Mugabe.
 
It is crazy. This country isn't falling into a coup. And if one was attempted...it isn't happening without a fight.
So as usual...it's Chicken Little.

I hope you’re right, obviously, but think there is a lot higher chance of something crazy happening than most of us realize. It could be something good like Trump walking away so not all bad.

It's done with monetary policy now, and not by countries but by classes. The wealthy conquered the world with the IMF and the World Bank in 1945. The world was overrun. We've been living in it all our lives.

Nobody knows they're living in a Dark Age until it's much too late.
 
Re: POTUS: He's A Witch!

Not to pick on Scooby, but his profile out here (I have no idea what he's like in real life as I've never met the man) is typical of a subset of people who like to be victims. Why that is I couldn't tell you, but they're always trying to find a way to lose, or to show the deck is stacked against them, blah blah blah. People with this mindset also tend to easily buy into conspiracy theories. I grew up in a place like this, and from that observation I can tell you its not the way to go as that area has been running in place or declining for the last 60 years if not more.

Personally, I'm just having trouble with the notion that Donald Trump is some sort of all powerful super villain that can't be defeated, as opposed to a top notch con artist who's luck appears to be running out which is what happens to most con artists (Madoff, Ponzi, etc).

It's not that he can't be defeated. If he was competent, or had people around him who were, then yes. I don't see him leaving without a fight though, and that will be bloody. You've already seen violent morons who are willing to commit mass shootings to provoke a "second Civil War" or send pipe bombs to liberal leaders. Is it really a stretch to think those people will only be emboldened by the idiot in the White House?

There's a difference between terrorism and full blown civil disorder. The former is a sporadic criminal act, the latter is a widespread interruption of society.

I fully expect the far right to respond to their demographic decline with terrorism. It fits their MO perfectly: violent, Manichean, paranoid, authoritarian. What we need is a government with the will to crush them when they resort to it. The right are cowards to the bone. They love to mouth off about their machismo and sacred honor but it's tweeny boys playing soldier. These people are p-ssies at every level -- it's why they are so incompetent in life, in love, in everything. They are the losers we have had to carry for hundreds of years. When they start blowing up schools, end them.
 
Re: POTUS: He's A Witch!

We know that Russia targeted voting systems in all 50 states. A bi-partisan report from the Senate Intelligence Committee even told us that “Russian cyberactors were in a position to delete or change voter data” in Illinois. We know that Republicans are doing everything they can to PREVENT any upgrades to the current system. Again, not quite a coup, but the R's sure seem to be ok with a takeover of the government by means other than open honest elections.

The joke will be on them when some hacker makes Kylie Jenner the next president.
 
Re: POTUS: He's A Witch!

If the godawful Chump era has a silver lining, perhaps its that more Americans start taking elections seriously, from President on down to dog catcher. The Nazi's are fully engaged, yet despite that they got smoked in the 2018 and 2019 elections. It would be nice if all voter participation remains high in the upcoming years, and not just amongst bitter old people who still wish it was 1950.

We have to wait for bombs? Kids being massacred by bullets aren't enough?
 
Re: POTUS: He's A Witch!

No one's on any ledges. Every political norm has been changed in the last 3 years. Thinking another one could change is not crazy, it's acknowledging a pattern.

No one is on any ledges? BernBot#2 is peddling a "We wont have an election" conspiracy theory. All he needs is a 'Cabelas Death Camp" and he will be the Left's version of Flaggy. Jade Helm isnt any more believable just because our side is saying it.
