    So, it's a failure because it's the world's most popular? Democracy has nothing to do with popularity? Of course he fails at doing both. You failed at doing both. They're diametric opposites. It's impossible to do both. Everyone fails at doing both.

    It's more possible now than ever before in my life to do the 1860 and reject both the Democrats and the Whigs. Yes, RFKJr is a mighty long shot even so. But he's not impossible, because the deep state is going for broke, shooting the moon. They're out to get every last heart and the queen of spades too, and there's quite a lot that can go wrong with that plan. That's what makes it possible. He would prosecute Fauci. His fanbois could never invent enough excuses for him not prosecuting Fauci, if he were given the chance.

    See, that's why this ship has no captain. A captain has to be calm and rational no matter how many alarms are sounding all around him. And in a democracy, that guy never gets the job because everyone else assumes he's not taking the situation seriously. Then when he shouts, "Flood these starboard compartments!" all he gets is, "You're crazy! We already took water through the big hole on the port side! You want to take on more water?!" A captain is a nice thing, and we can't have nice things. We have to panic.

    I don't know. The Trump fanbois still think he'll put Hillary in prison someday. They're the ones, however, scouting up loopholes through which Biden might escape the same fate. That's all I'm saying. Is this escalation? Does each half of government get to ignore more laws than the last, out of retaliation, forever?

    Absolutely. They're shooting the moon. Go big or go home. They know they only have so much time to pull it off. They certainly want us to believe they'll leave it in ruins if they don't get their way. I have reason to hope that part's a bluff, though. They have more wealth, more skin in the game, tied up in it than, like, everyone else combined. They want it to work -- for them.

    This is the first real argument I've heard in favor of supporting him. I mean, now that Vivek is out, RFKJr really is the only guy who even has this sort of thing on his radar. There's another factor to consider. Milei. Argentina just ran its first budget surplus in 16 years. Our position is winning, somewhere in the world. The rats running DC have to know how close they're getting to collapse. The sociopaths have to understand that their time being the winners of this game is limited. It's possible they'll understand that they can't milk a dead cow. It's possible they'll understand the cow has to graze for a while to recharge. Matters are completely in the hands of those who control the board right now. They might realize they don't have a winning long-term position. Maybe we'll spend the end of our lives some way other than in an institution that charges our children $100,000 a month to let us sit in our own shit for 12 hours at a stretch. Maybe they'll let things go back to normal so they can start it back up again on our grandchildren.

    I wouldn't call it brainwashing. When they broke that old man's hip in Louisiana to stop RP supporters from legally and rightfully running the convention, I took note. When they shut down the Nevada convention and just picked delegates completely outside the process, I took note. If you follow the rules, and you start to win, they just ignore the rules. Heeymeyer isn't a hero because he did the things he did. He's a hero because everyone recognizes that there is a time to do what he did, and he is one of the few who did it.

    Misrepresent, mischaracterize and ridicule. Haven't we all had enough of those tactics? Beyond misrepresenting, mischaracterizing and ridiculing? Do you? It's 2024. I don't think writing in Ron Paul still rises to that level. I don't see a better real world chance of escaping that trap, a better lawyer to get us out of the clutches of the Bad Cop and the Good Cop than RFKJr. Want to do something that stands a slight chance of producing a positive outcome? Write in Ron Paul. Or maybe do what Ron Paul taught us to do for state GOP conventions, but for our county election boards this time. If they want a fight, let's oblige them.

    That's exactly it. Biden's bad cop job here is to make trashing the Constitution look like a reasonable alternative. It wasn't that long ago that nothing could make trashing the Constitution outright look like a reasonable idea, because it wasn't a reasonable idea, it isn't a reasonable idea and it won't be a reasonable idea. But Biden sure is making it look like one. Taking over our own election boards and voting for a non-Demopublican, on the other hand, is an eminently reasonable idea. Isn't it a shame that a vast swath of the population has been brainwashed into thinking it just can't be done? Biden and Trump exactly the same. How does having identical Bad Cop and Good Cop get us to trash our Constitution like fucking idiots? It fucking doesn't.

    IOU a rep. I'm just not sure why the pro-Trump narrative gets any traction here. You'd think if anyone understood the game they're playing, it would be the people who have at least 16 years of watching politics ignore objectively good candidates (insofar as such is possible) and pushing this lesser-of-two-evils narrative. The game has always been to get us to vote for evil and it has always been effected by only allowing us the choice between the evil that ruins our lives and the evil that just raises the temperature in the pot a bit. Maybe it's that the stakes are so much higher now. Seven elections ago, Clinton was selling secrets to the Chinese, potentially raping his help, and engaging in good old-fashioned hick corruption. Nobody talked about using the federal apparatus to gas children to death, outside of some crank radio personalities. It was important stuff, still is, but it wasn't personal. And the economy was the best it has been in 50 years, gas was cheap, and the only thing Bob Dole could compete on was the fact that he's the only politician to get that far who actually quoted the 10th Amendment on a debate stage. But it was still the same tired old play: Bob Dole's evil is less evil, and ignore this squeaky Texan who doesn't belong here because your'e literally never going to see him or anything like that again. The only thing that has changed is the stakes. Now, instead of merely violating your sense of right and wrong, they're also carving up your children. Let's make the evil on one side so evil that you don't even remember ever caring about deficit spending, federal debt, overreach, and the deep state, and totally ignore the fact that the other guy is the undisputed king of expanding all of those. Everyone here is well aware where this is going. We've been low key talking about it for like a decade. Just thank God we're all too old to participate now, and continue to hoard food, learn to grow it, collect ammo, learn some basic gunsmithing, and do what you can to help out when the boogaloo starts. And most importantly, stop fucking participating. It's going to happen. We can't stop it. Especially not by voting for a man who would be the first to resort to war crimes to crush it.

    Since when is the "We got a badass over here" meme "gay"? It's been all over the interwebz for many moons and it's used by all sorts of folks. There are several samples in the various "bestest picture thread evarrr"-s.
  8. The reason I have no use for monarchies is it's complete pot luck what you get. If your generation gets a Victoria, you could be in worse shape (assuming her advisors aren't lying to her about what they're doing), but if you get an Ivan the Terrible you're screwed. I prefer a system that at least holds out hope for nonviolent revolution, whether people are generally smart enough to use it or not.

    And I'm pretty sure you meant neither Bismarck nor the kaiser.

    You're right, I should have said the Kaiser, not Bismarck. :/ (My WWI history is rather rusty...I do remember Hitler suffered from mustard gas inhalation during that war and a bunch of other factoids) Yeah, monarchs have been somewhat fascist in certain occasions, but they always had incentive not to destroy their subjects' economy or their own respective societies as presidents and prime ministers or even legislators do. (such elected officials almost always leave office very wealthy and almost never face justice for their misdeeds) Generally speaking, the best to worst scale goes- voluntary association with government>hereditary monarchy>monarchy>classical republicanism>modern constitutionalism>democracy etc.

What has it to do with politics? Everything. Politicians piss us off, then try to misdirect our anger 'across the aisle' to people who are fundamentally exactly the same, but wear a different party label. The game is age old, but still works.

People are angry, but they are often in denial about it. They know they're angry, but they don't want to admit they're angry
