It would seem the entire world is in a fascist death spiral. I'm not going to to be so grandiose as to say we are all completely fucked, but I will say this wave of fascism is going to likely stunt human progress for the next one-hundred years.
Kind of makes you wonder who she fucked to pass law school, huh? She seems to be genuinely dumb as a box of rocks.
It is NOT a good idea, it is NEVER a good idea. However, in order to avoid it, both sides would have to be willing to talk to each other, in good faith, and work out an agreeable way forward. That is what we used to do. We have always been a divided country, but when it mattered both side could usually work out a mutually agreeable resolution. That has stopped. So, we are divided and continuing to split further and no one will work together. What is the resolution? I don't see a good one any time in the near future.
Well, I don't like hot and humid, so most Asian countries are probably out. Most likely some where in Europe. Depends on the current state of affairs at the time.
Well, historically, civil wars seem to end in one of two ways, either the victor subjugating the loser or the country splitting apart. So I would wager the outcome to be one of those.
Honestly, I'm inclined to agree. I also don't see a way out without bloodshed. Not because I want Republicans to die or think that Democrats are so great that I am ready to die for them, but rather because we have split so far ideologically that I cannot see us ever being united again and we seemingly don't have any method available for a peaceful divorce.
My personal plan is to leave the country permanently as soon as I retire, but that is 15 years away. I can only hope that things stay somewhat together until then and I will use my vote to try to help it do so.
While true, those attacks are there because he has an ego the size of a large city and attacking his vanity is one of the only effective ways to get under his skin.
