EVERYTHING you and I purchase now is higher in price due to the current administrations policies.

That is incorrect, a deliberately misleading fox news take on things. Much like the erroneous corporate greed angle coming from the msnbc side.

Everyone needs to turn off the cable "news". If you really want to know what's going on look at M2 We've had a staggering level of incompetence / malfeasance from central banks around the world, with complicity from world leaders. And yes that includes both Trump and Biden.
 
What about this:
link to Literally Anybody Else
Of course I don´t expect that to get a lot of traction, but...
We could use some fresh blood like that in large parts of the world, in Germany for sure.
I think there are whole parts of the population who simply don´t get represented (I mean in action, not in flowery speeches) at all in our corroded democracies.
 
I deleted that message before you responded to it. Maybe my reaction time is a little slow, but it would've quickly vanished in the ether if you hadn't latched onto it.
Seriously? Had you deleted it already I would not have been able to quote it.

I noticed that you had posted another similar message while I was requesting better behavior. I didn't bother to quote it because I had already made my point.

It's nice to be nice.

PS: Many years ago I suggested to Ethan that we set up a blog area where comments would automatically disappear after each session.

Yes, seriously. And I deleted the message you just replied to before you replied to it as well. I stand by the message that remains. Ignoring the rise of fascism in an effort to seek some sort of argumentative advantage is self-serving and tiresome.

I do not appear to be effectively communicating. I DO NOT CARE about your opinion of fascism, while that is a valid subject to discuss.

What I do care about is

but apparently you're too myopic to see what's staring you in the face.

Which is yet another personal criticism (insult?) from the message you did not delete... So I stand by my request to be nicer....

Not just you, everybody, please.

A must read for high school students are Georg Orwell "1984" and A. Huxley "Brave New World". Maybe also Niccolo Machiavelli "The Prince".
The German nationalist socialist workers party who took over Germany with a palace coup and then burned down the parliament building sent the political system into disarray. A system of citizen snitching was set up to capture non conformists. Political opposition was met with imprisonment or worse. Soon all school curriculums were changed, and students were molded into dutiful soldiers. It only took 10 years.

I read all three long ago, I would also throw in "the lord of the flies".

There is a sticky at the top of this forum with many more suggestions.

Fiction aside, although illuminating, the circumstances around how Germany succumbed to a dictatorship serves as an example how difficult circumstances changed peoples minds, and how effective the skillful lying and manipulation was. In a few short years they went from being an autocratic state, then a devastating war, then a fledgling democracy,, then back to an autocracy,, but much worse.
 
Fascism? There were few MAGA hats in the crowds of ultra-violent night rioters in the streets, sieging fed buildings, during Kristalsommer 2020. How many of those black clad savages are sitting in jail, charged as domestic terrorists, awaiting trial years later?
This is all Alinsky all the time. Accuse your enemy of that which you yourself are guilty. Over and over, louder and louder.
"He'll burn The Bible when he touches it!!" At least Franken has the lucidity to know WHO will in 2025, even if he knows little else.
"He said put bleach in your veins!!" Never a dull chestnut.
"Hey Russia! Maybe you can release the crooked Hillary emails." "See! See! See! There he is talking to his bolshevik puppetmasters!" All Alinsky, all the time. Who are the real bolshies, the wreckers?

All they got is hateful digs at people who "have no heart!", throw around "Fascist!" and nazzi stuff, lies/distortion about what people say, and abortion lies against republicans. "They will control YOUR WOMB!!!"

It's all empty rubbish. The two Presidential records are the evidence of ability and vision, not how those records have been "reported".
Trump is campaigning against republican/democrat swampsters, US government, state governments, EU, BRICS, Canada, Mexico, 99% of all medias, academia, Il Papa, Broadway™, Hollywood™, Bollywood™, gNATO™, Soros, Buffett, Koch, Suckerberg, Bezos, the list is endlesssss.
Hey russia!!

So he really is your last hope?

Wouldn't like to be in your shoes. When your dilemma has horns, a choice becomes impossible. When you are on the horns of a dilemma, no matter which horn you choose, something bad will happen.
 
The bitching in this thread is priceless. Saw this teeshirt this morning and had to attach with all the bickering going on.

Rejoice, people. The Darwin tax will resolve everything in the end. A Kansas republican has decided that since Biden is against lead piping for drinkwater, he's all for it...
