The race to the demise of U.S. democracy: interim results (and champions)

[myata]

In the ascending order of the underlying influence and the descending, of the failure of institution or individual on the condition that everything else failed. And here it goes, all four that contributed to this not exactly inspirational interim result:

1. Pompous blindness of the Democratic party: always in the same pothole, what could go wrong? Gore, Clinton, Harris: no can't be a coincidence. Not a one off, too many and in a row. A debilitating failure of all senses to see and take in the difference between own status and agenda and that of the country. It wants a change, in the directions, ideas and faces? Nope, gotta stick with us. Or else. Sure, as you wish.

2. Joe Biden - a senile ambition of an old man "want but can't" that eclipsed essential and even critical interests of the nation and the world. Can it be more mundane and trivial? Wouldn't be an easy feat to beat. That' your legacy now, Joe.

The first two are close contenders. The final ranking is my own (m.)

3. The lust of greed and power: an astounding failure of the Republican party to maintain the standard and quality of political players. The pull of power - by whatever means was just too strong for too many. Also and old, old story. And the same troubling conclusion, sigh. Nothing new and nothing great.

4. The eroding and debilitating influence of a gravely outdated binary political system that's grown detrimental to the needs of a modern society. Via detachment, sensationalism of the discourse, extreme partisanship of the political process: down and all the way to the bottom, the ultimate demise.

You are expecting unexpected surprise rescue, new solutions? From where? Where?

It occurred to me about 3 months ago, a strange thought that I immediately discounted as just unrealistic.  Because the left, though completely programmed and automatonic at this point, surely can still see black and white, if it’s pointed out to them.  Surely they still have some semblance of reason, of critical thinking.  You know, kind of like being able to chew gum and walk at the same time.  

But no.  To my amazement, the left in general would rather drink the media’s koolaid and still be in full freak-out mode, than to just look at the facts as they are revealed one by one.  

Trump isn’t Hitler after all.  The multiple court cases against him were largely gussied up nonsense and lawfare.  The media that has been frothing at the mouth ever since it found out that Trump was running again, is not trustworthy.

But the left still has its head in the sand, even at this late date.  A complete denial of reality.  Well, let me tell you lefties something that will become apparent to you day after day and hour upon hour.

You guys are going to have a really bad year.

It's the end of straight democracy, and the reemergence of our Constitutional Republic. Isn't it awesome, myata?

It's really strange that you continue to believe cases against Trump based on EVIDENCE and Grand Jury indictments are "lawfare" while completely ignoring the FACT that Trump is PROMISING LAWFARE.

It's like you don't even understand the difference between prosecuting crimes and naming a list of targeted PERSONS.
