At the time of this writing, the morning of Monday, September 16th, it has been confirmed that a second assassination attempt of Donald Trump has been thwarted.
Politics should be about who's best for governing, not who's more likeable or who has better rhetoric because leading a country isn't personality and words alone. I'm in Venezuela, our politics are a shit show, and people look for a savior instead of using their critical thinking to improve our nation. We need better education, less ideology and more reality checking. I truly wish the best for the US, and I'm doing my best to bring nuance back to the conversation. Thank you for this.
Good on you! I am writing from Brasil- have been here for the last four years! Of course, I agree with what you are saying. Slowly learning more about the politics of SA. Wishing you the best from a South American neighbor!
¡Mil gracias! Muito obrigado, we have lovely people but also chaos 24/7. I hope you have a wonderful life over there, and stay strong! I'm here if you need anything.
I actually do believe 2016 was probably the most consequential election in history, an election where the voters (on one side) wrested control away from an elite that had been giving us their approved candidates. The chaos induced since is the holy war this elite is perpetrating to put us back in our place, to get back to when politics was boring. The chaos is coming from the elite and the half the country, the gutless Progressive left, that sheepishly went along with their elite telling them that Bernie was not acceptable. The looming election is also consequential but not because of a single man as those with TDS seem to believe, but it will show it's possible for voters to come together in strength to choose our leaders. The republican base choosing Trump over the "acceptable" candidates is similar to the overthrow of the feudal system. Another similar event in history is advancement of women in the 60's and 70's. It's no accident the democratic lunatics are attacking female rights and boundaries with Big Trans. Some attack comes from the right, advancing the idea that if women just got back to living their "essential nature" then all bad stuff would go away and we would be boring again. I prefer to work through the problems. We can make politics boring again if we put the elites back in their proper place, as advisors instead of acting as our feudal lords. But it's going to be rough for a bit as dictators and control freaks don't easily give up control and will try and bring down the whole system.
In 2016 a large enough portion of the population looked at the dumpster that is US politics, lit the match and tossed it in. Four years later they somewhat regretted that decision and opted for boring, smelly trash again. We shall see whether they're ready for round two in November, or if they've decided to climb in and snuggle up with the garbage they've been fed.

Preach🙌🙌🙌
Right on, Jeanne!
And here I thought it was just me...
Count me on board, J. And that's saying something, since I'm usually not on board for much of anything.

Ha! Wonderful to have you on board, ZL!
Boring is good...
Like a long flight, sometimes uneventful is not a bad thing!
