Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It will transform:
The house-of-cards "economy" cannot continue "functioning" forever..
WHEN it collapses, it'll gut the Dems.
IF it happens early-enough before the 2024-election,
THEN the Republicans win 2024, on the backlash vote.
It will be the Sycophants of Trump, only, then.
I don't consider it probable that the house-of-cards will continue pretending to be "whole"/functional past August, at the latest.
China was able to suspend trading on The Evergrande Group for 17 months, which I hadn't forseen, but eventually it returned to trading, & lost .. was it 99% of its value, in a few hours?
Citadel+BCG have a very profitable naked-shorting-and-"strategic-management-consulting" racket going, which they used to destroy Sears, to the best of my knowledge, & some 25-ish other major-corporations..
You can see in "The Reverse Cramer Index" that mainstream-media's systematically pushing the masses to be suckers used/economically-obliterated for the profit of the few ( Cramer's a msm pusher, doing the exact opposite of what he's recommending is systematically profitable.
That should result in criminal ( possibly racketeering ) charges against whomever Cramer's behind-the-scenes pushers are, but .. not in this world .. not ever, in this world, would evidence-of-market-manipulation-on-such-scale be forced to be accountable )
Anyways, I expect, and could be wrong, that economic-collapse will happen before the 2024-election, and that backlash will gut the leverage of the left, and that US Civil War Part2 will begin within 3-ish years of the Republicans making Trump, whether legal to be so or not, president, and Trump will get to be GEOTUS, dictator of the US, presiding over its conversion-into-carrion.
No-one believes that extreme difference-from-their-belief-nature could be, until it's too late.
That is why so many go along with murderers who get them to a "secondary crime scene": they're assuming they'll be able to socialize/schmooze their way out, then...
but the secondary-crime-scene is the least survivable place in the world.
The US's population is about to be relocated to their own secondary-crime-scene, due to their own naiveness, and the consequences will be exactly-typical of such situations.
Simply sit back & watch it unfold:
it's happening at world-geopolitics pace, not at individual-this-week pace, so it takes awhile.
No point in claiming that 2024-election's won by either side, until the actual-votes are in, is there?
I bet the Trumpites win, and have been betting so since Covid began, as humankind's unconscious wants its planet-destroying TANTRUM, and Trump is simply a means of humankind's unconscious to enact-history/"mythological-significance".
There is a book "Games People Play", and another "Scripts People Live", which both identify unconscious mechanisms that we enact, unwittingly letting scripts live our lives for us .. this is similar, but is at the whole-species scale.
Read those 2 books, then try seeing the whole-planet-scale, & see how such-mechanisms are also existing at the vast scale.
My bet is, unfortunately, likely to win.
