Well, I always saw The Don as a rich guy with a loud mouth, good business insights, and political experience. I was more pleased by his actual behavior than what I expected which was, jack. That Donald was somehow a dumber version of hitler who magically attained office, is the narrative of the DNC and its affiliated members. Dumber, but less effective than Adolf, and somehow came to power? Illogical, inconsistent, but this is what the Team holds as it's ideology. (An ideology defined as a faith movement, gods-optional). That obsession with the Orange fellow is the magical thinking that obsesses the democrat. Don't fret about me, because I realize I am but a lowly serf in crowd. If Team dem was more intelligent, and I suspect that even intelligence and mathematical skills get eclipsed by ideological passion (The amygdala beats the cerebrum like a royal flush beats 3 aces), and focus on what befalls the world. The democrat voter will not, because like an alcoholic they must reach bottom. So what would a rational person (perhaps hooked more into physical survival) look for? The reaching bottom comment?1. The economy. (covers everything). 2. The plague.3. The open border.4. Street crimes, precisely violent ones. 5. International destabilization (witness Afghanistan, China, Putin, Iran) and other Black Swans I am missing for the nonce. 6. Yeah, Climate change.7. Riots, yours, mine, ours.8. A non-Responsive ruling class<=== These people today are close to the rulers of 1913, the the fighters of WW2 and the Bretton Woods conference. If we were actually smart, instead of merely, partisan, which I often am, because I enjoy responding to the provocations here, we'd be looking for fixes or ameliorations to the listed troubles above. But, yeah, this is much more fun! Serf's (sp) Up! Be well, and get your shots everyone. Be well.

According to you, the Reps are the corrupt filth of the earth, but the dems are cleaner than the drive snow and do not dabble in being part of the oligarchy. Now that opensecrets is up I will relay some data to you. Red is rep bribery, Blue is Dem bribery. (Donation$). https://www.opensecrets.org/elections-overview/top-organizations There are other indices you may query about. My guess is you won't because, you know what you like. Virtue signaling may reinforce your own world view, but is wasted on myself because I am the enemy.

Inequity is huge problem in the U.S. That three out of a the Forbes 400 donated money to Dems, doesn't solve any problem except for you looking to place blame. Your DNC is doing a class war, and so has the RNC. Your team is now The Party of the Richest people in the US and their campaign money buys influence. Were you funning me, or are you so ideological that you pay no attention to who does what? For a moment I thought you were kidding. This is an oligarchy. Vote for whomever you want to, but don't be naïve on good guys v bad guys. That is what the old philosophers termed Manichean. They're all bad guys my good chap. Pick your James Bond villain, Dr. No, or Ernst Stavros Blofeld? Look it up on opensecrets.org tomorrow (non-partisan) and follow the money. You will see for yourself. Yeah, that's the old whataboutism. They all do it, so you can just stand back an throw shit on the wall. It doesn't make your Prince in Mar a Lago any less of a threat to democracy.
