End of Democracy

Twilight Hue

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Total rubbish! You really haven't got one friggin' clue about where Democrats sit on the political spectrum. And probably not much clue about anybody else in the U.S.

The fact is this: a Canadian Conservative is generally a little to the left of a U.S. Democrat. And many American Republicans are now to the right of Victor Orban. Only 54% of Democrats actually fit within the definition of "politically liberal."

Try actually doing a little study on the subject, why don't you, instead of slinging uninformed nonsense willy-nilly.
Whine all you want.

Denial of the hard facts are not going to change things.







And of course......

Yes, I think there are many American Christians who think they'd prefer a theocracy -- but only because they've never lived under one and haven't the vaguest clue of what it might mean for their own supposedly-valued "liberty." Real lIberty is the very last thing a sacerdotal political leadership would condone.
Americans see "Christian" nationalism and think it's cool because they so happen to be mostly Christians. They have no clue that Dominionists are totalitarian, something very few Americans have ever experienced and most would regret too late.

Yes. I'm a conservative and a registered Republican, and I support capitalism all within reason.
Do you support corporatism or corporate and government collusion? Like the privatization of prisons where it's obvious that both are in cahoots?

Look into my post history which goes back quite a way. You will find instances where I get critical of such things.

This is the direction your party is currently taking. Corporatist prisons, police, military, media, schools, government agencies, etc.

And it's not that Democrats haven't been guilty of it. I'm not going to play that card tonight. It's just that now it's gained traction, holding a cross wrapped in the American flag.

That's why im supporting a grass roots unaffiliated third party if it ever gets off the ground with intelligent sensible leaders to address such things.

I'm with those still thinking that the entire system is now purposefully rigged by the duopoly and completely hostile to new competition to the point the entire political system is structured to permanently keep two parties in perpetual power with the goal of one party rule eventually by the winner.

For me, that's how I think America will end as a free country and ending the great experiment.

The US is well on the path towards it via the Democrats.
How do you think this squares with the situation where Democrats hold shares in companies, own private companies, take donations from all the same companies as the Republicans, lobby non-stop for commercial entities, take directorships or lucrative consulting work after office at the same companies that helped them draft legislation, etc etc?

It seems bananas to me that anyone could believe the party owned by Wall St is going to usher in a totalitarian communist revolution.

All it takes is one look at China being a very capitalist country now, interwoven with the Communist hierarchy were the lions share of money doesn't go to the people, but to the state and its elite.

I do agree Republicans can go in such directions as well and there are obvious indicators that those directions are not going to benefit the American people particularly when the US was declared an Oligarchy and not a constitutional republic of which I had addressed in my past postings and will do so for future postings.

I just don't want to see it turn into a socialist country, a communist country , a theocracy, or a fascist country.

Unfortunately people like you and me can only talk and debate about it on the internet, or as some have done in public protests, but have absolutely no power to effectively change things for the better.

Granted I'm certainly a pessimistic person in saying that we now are well beyond the point of no return in saving democracy and freedom in these modern times as things get ever more dystopian each decade that passes, as technology and legal controls vastly improve in restricting masses of people to be herded like cattle in order to be milked and slaughtered at will by an elite self serving protected class.

Theocrats should go jump in the lake in my view. Why call it the republican party? May as well call it the theocracy party as I see it

Facts tell it already.
For the moment in light of the passed 2023 bipartisan resolution denouncing the horrors of socialism which should be unanimous , but it clearly wasn't.


A whopping 86 against. All Democrats ...


Facts do indeed tell it already.

Here would be a great bipartisan resolution you'll never see in the US thanks to the republican theocracy party - A resolution denouncing the terror of theocracy in my view.
