A warning from Biden

It has to do with Liberalism, Feminism and all the other Liberal shallow "isms and phobics". Up to that point above, we had a meritocracy; best team wins. The USA and the Allies beat two very solid teams; Japan and Germany, in WW2. It was not yet a rigged game, where something besides merit decided the outcome, like we have today; industrial complex and Viet Nam. The merit was strong on both sides of the war, but the best team won. After the war, the winner did not take over but rebuilt their rival for the needs of Democracy.

Liberalism opened the door to a downgrade in attitude away from merit. For example, there was little home owner default after WW2, since the surviving soldiers, who got homes via the VA bill, were trained to get any tough job done. That was part of male soldier's world at that time. Men could argue but still be on the same team; Team USA. They were each other's keeper. I remember it was OK for a neighbor to yell at you for screwing up. Often, they would not tell your parents, since they also liked you. It was a safe time and easy to stay on course.

Liberalism introduced emotional thinking where it was more about feeling instead of merit or common sense. Less common sense led to con artists games and scams, designed to manipulate the emotional thinkers, who lacked common sense and critical thinking skills. The result was a steady decline, such as the ever increasing national debt, due to less than qualified crooks in power, who were elected based one sentiment or fear, and not logic.

Biden is a disaster but since he is like a grandfather, he has to be forgiven; papa. Back after WW2, men in charge would see what was needed to win, and they knew had to work together; tough soldiers on the same team on battle day.

The breakdown of the nuclear family and undermining religion were both part of the Liberal led decline. Religion develops the conscience and character, which does not need Big Brother, but can self censor in freedom. The breakdown of the family led to an explosion in the need for social services; single parent families, and the rise of crime and drug addiction, with the soft on crime of liberalism making both of these problems worse and worse; feels right but was a disaster. Liberalism does not tech merit; self sufficiency, but stalls the poor at dependency, since it is scary and rigged out there; emotional thinkers. You are a victim so look over your shoulder, fear and hate.

To the Liberal propaganda, Trump is called the dictator. Name me something tangible that dictator Trump did from 2016-2020? After the Russian Collusion Coup failed did Dictator Trump pull a Biden and bring the herd of crooks to court? No. Biden and the Democrats were spying, infiltrated social media, like a dictator above the law, even before he was elected.

Democrats project to hide their behavior in plain sight. The emotional thinkers common to the Left lack critical skills to see this. Democrats know merit is not key anymore. It is more about fear mongering, lying and cheating, with all the dual standards learned from Liberalism, like two tier injustice and election tampering, and now using injustice to take out the lead candidate. This feels right? It is a dictator paradise.

We may need to get rid of the Department of Education and Liberal Propaganda, and replace it with old lessons of meritocracy. This may require getting rid of the Teacher's Unions since this is a contaminate. MAGA was about system restore to the 1950's, but with the systemic racism of the Democrats, created after losing the Civil War, gone for good. We are all on the same team. They are back to reverse racism and corruption, since they know no better; old habits and playbooks.

I think the corn is going to be really tall next summer.

Obviously, you and @Kenny are unaware of the fact that a "republic" is one form of "democracy":
It's always strange to me that the American conservative politicians can justify wars with democracy, but when they are expected to act democratically they run to the defence that they are technically a republic and not a democracy.

They have their cake and eat it too

Yep, and it reminds me of a recent conversation whereas a person here criticized "Trump haters" while Trump constantly spews hatred.

BTW, I hate no one, but I'll admit that some really do push my tolerance level to the max at times.

It's the courts that will likely decide this one way or the other based on the Constitution and what Trump allegedly has done.

However, with that being the case, one shouldn't ignore what he has repeatedly said he would do if reelected.

I hope that enough Supreme Court Justices will have the fortitude to rule against him and prevent him from getting re-elected. However, I don't expect Clarence Thomas to demonstrate any hint of integrity in this case because he appears to be compromised and in the pocket of MAGA conservatives.

I thought this was interesting.

I agree with President Biden, and I believe that Trump and his MAGA cohorts pose a real threat to our democracy in the United States. For example:

Trump pledges to turn away those who don’t like ‘our religion’

Trump Says He’ll Ban Immigrants Who ‘Don’t Like Our Religion’

I still remember those days.

But you could clearly see the writing on the wall that started in the late '60s early '70s. that's when the decline of America became more noticeable, particularly as it started entering into the mid '80s and it's been notably downward since then.

But I'm optimistic because I'm starting to see a rise in some of the old traditions. They're not quite that noticeable yet, but they are there, particularly with the onset of tradwives who see the true value in their families and raising their children right and stable seeing them along every step of the way.

They hate America so much that they're trying to preserve the values that define it; rights, liberty, equality, justice, etc. i.e. things the right attempt to erode.
What happened to diversity, equity, inclusion, social justice, reparations, climate justice, and bringing back the favoritism of people based on skin color alone? Have you given up on the idea that all those things are somehow in our Constitution?

In my opinion, if MAGA Republicans had the slightest hint of personal intergrity, they wouldn't be his sychophantic supporters in the first place. Despite the shortcomings of the Democratic Party, I consider the Democrats to be less of a threat to freedom, liberty, and justice for all than MAGA-conservative [Christian] Republicans. However, I wish they would choose a better candidate other than Biden, but if it comes down to him and Trump again in the 2024 presidential election, my choice is clear. I'll vote for Biden again. I voted Republican for 26 years until the 2016 presidential election. I voted third party for the first time ever in that election, and I voted Democratic for the first time ever in the 2020 presidential election. I refuse to support the Republican Party with my votes and money again as long as Trump and his sycophantic cohorts are controlling it. I think he and his loyal cohorts are a serious threat to our democracy. So I'll continue to support the Democrats by voting for them and financially supporting the Democratic Party. I think it's the least I could do.

Like what? He also said he would put Hillary in jail… never happened. We have a system of checks and balances.

Biden said he would fix our borders - he didn’t do that either.
