Althea told me...........
Handing money to the financial institutions so that they could give year end bonuses to those who helped to destroy the economy was not necessary. They claimed that 'nobody else can figure out where all the bad paper ended up'.
Bullshit. Give the money to the homeowners who lost jobs, and eventually, their homes.

Saying No to socialism is absolutely the perfect opposite of my Duty.
There's no avoiding civil war. We might be around for it.

Hello goat,
Totally misplaced.
They thought they were saving America because they had been lied to.
The insurrectionists were wrong.
It was the most secure election in our history.

Hello goat,
There will be no civil war. The outspoken extremists hoping for that are on the fringe. They do not represent most of America. They may be loud, but volume does not replace character nor patriotism.
Anybody who tries to start a domestic war will simply be destroying their own life. Most of America wants no part of war. We just got out of one. And few people favor the idea of a broken up USA. Two fragments of the USA could not peacefully coexist. It would be perpetual war.
Neither the left nor the right is about to eliminate all those on the opposite side. Fighting a war will accomplish nothing. America is destined to be heavily divided for the foreseeable future.
What we need to do is have respectful civil discussions about our country, the problems we face together, and what the best steps are for us to solve them together. Extremists who refuse to compromise or visualize the concerns of the many are destined to be disappointed and frustrated. But that is no cause for war, and the majority will not take it up or fight for that.
The majority of America believes in law and order. If some decide to take the law into their own hands, they will be dealt with by the appropriate authorities. Their lives will be ruined. Peace will be restored. The individual extremists will be forgotten as quickly as their causes. The nation will move on.

What we need is for trump to have his heart attack and die.
He's the one who incited the small minority in this nation to make the most noise, as if they are a majority.
Let them scurry back into their basement Klan meetings once trump is rotting in the ground.

Hello Althea,
Not really. Trump didn't start this. He capitalized on it.
And besides. If he croaks, he will never face justice, and instead be made into a martyr. The next time the right gets power, they will name everything after him. It would be sickening. I don't want to drive on the Donald Trump highway or fly into the Donald Trump airport, or hear about a US Carrier called the Donald Trump.
What needs to happen is for Trump to face justice, be tried for fraud and other crimes, be sentenced to do time, and be put in prison where he belongs. That would be the best ending to the Trump story.
Trump didn't cause all this hatred, but he has made it worse. Why is America so angry?
I place the blame square on the shoulders of Tucker Carlson. He has pushed white grievance as a meme, and he has a cult-like following. He is talking into millions of American ears every night, whipping up ever more hatred for America, government, and the left.
It's a great way to get a lot of attention, stir up a lot of emotion, sell a lot of advertising, and make a lot of money.
Tucker Carlson is worth $30 Million because of it.

Every topic you start shows that you are already at war with dissidents. You want everyone to be in servitude to the corporate authoritarian state. You believe that you are represented by government so you vote for the status quo. You refuse to open your eyes to the despair of the marginalized. Things will only get worse with the upcoming economic collapse. Revolt will happen in our lifetime. How many times have we had this conversation? I feel like a broken record.
She lives in her cocoon of stupidity and hatred of anything American. She wants no compromise, just for everyone to walk lock step in her beliefs. She despises our Constitution. She has no idea what those of us living in the rural areas think of her "utopia." The real strength of this country doesn't lie in the big cities, it lies in the small towns and rural areas. When they try to take what's ours, as you say, revolt will happen. We won't start it, we will end it if/when it comes.
PoliTalker believes America is one culture that we need to conform to. She doesn't understand that old folk have to take part time jobs to make ends meet. Government is coming for our pension and social security. Some of us would rather die on our feet than live on our knees.

Hello goat,
The problem with this approach is instead of talking about politics, it is an attempt to make it all about me. News flash: I am not the subject. My personal life or views have an infinitesimally small effect on national and international politics. What I believe really doesn't matter very much. I know that.
My approach to these discussions is that we are talking about big things. Bigger than any of the participants in the discussion. We are simply people, citizens, part of a very large collective, part of a nation, part of planet Earth.
We, as individuals, have our own views; but what we think about things is a drop in the bucket, a very large bucket, used to fill an even larger sea of politics.
We are each entitled to our own views, but whatever our views are, the impact of them on the national scene is very small.
There are no wars going on in the traditional sense. I'm not at war with anyone. I like to debate national politics. What there is, are some very mixed up extremists who have misguided impressions that life in the USA is horrible, getting worse, needs to be dealt with by force, impacted by other races, immigrants, corporate masters, whatever. These people have been connected by modern media and have amplified their own views by repeating nonsense and egging one another on.
There is a reason all these people in the USA who have armed themselves to the teeth, convinced there is a coming revolution which will happen when others finally 'see' what they do, have not seen their fears realized. Instead of fighting in the streets, they are relegated to fighting with ideas on the internet. The reason is that they are disgruntled extremists, a very small minority, on the fringe, and most other people are really pretty happy with their lives. Most people are certainly happy enough that they don't want to risk what they have and enter into a state of violent anarchy.
The result is all these extremists are very frustrated because the things they believe are not actually happening. They try to egg one another on. They try to tell themselves 'it' is coming, but 'it' never happens. Day after day, they prepare for the worst, but at the end of every day 'it' doesn't happen. They know if they 'jump the gun' and go out and try to physically start something, they will be shot down by police and their life will be over. Or maybe they will live and simply be arrested and sent to prison; and the life of freedom that they have known will be over.
So on and on, every day, they keep waiting for 'it.'
Meanwhile, life is passing them by.
Other people are working jobs, earning their money, buying their houses, marrying, finding happiness, raising their families, creating memories, taking pictures, having good times with friends, having recreation, telling stories, enjoying the best of life. They don't care about 'it,' and they don't want 'it.'
'It' is not going to happen. Anyone who is immersed in prepping for 'it' would do themselves a huge favor if they would seek counseling, a friend, another life. A happier life. There is a world of happiness waiting out there. Extremists need to step outside their bubble and go find it. That would be the best thing they could do for themselves. Dial up their lives. Change things up a bit. Get into different interests. Make new friends. That can be done, and those who pursue that will find that to be extremely rewarding. They could save themselves an ugly end while they still have a chance to go that way.

Attention,
This disrespectful post is on very thin ice.
I am now considering cutting if off with you, goat.
I need to think about this.
I do not appreciate being talked about in the third person in my presence.
That is not respectful. It is beneath the standards of common decency.
I am now asking myself if my life is better off with you in it or without you in it.
I am leaning strongly towards ending any further discussions with you.
I don't need this.
You may have pushed things too far here.

The US is at war with the American people. You like to brag about that in your click bait topics. What happened to the humanitarian I got to know? The entire system is headed for collapse and many of us haven't fully recovered from the 2008 and 2020 economic crashes. Revolt will happen in our lifetime. Accept that basic fact before placing blame.

And that’s fine if deregulation is needed
It’s a tool
So is a hammer
How about we use it the correct way and make things better instead of destroying things we need
