There is zero evidence to suggest that is a possibility. Thus, one should only read OP/threads that do not annoy them.

Radical Democrat terrorists extremist. Hmmm,

They are terrorized by weak feminine woke terrorist?
AND they tan their balls to be manly to take on terrorists? Wut up Jesse?

This response to Rolling Stone on another forum.

A party that ties its strategy to polls is doomed to being jerked about by opposition maneuvers, and the opposition has been carpet-bombing the playing field with one outrage after another.

The Democratic party does have a core platform of values, mainly on labor, Social Security, health care, equality and growing the economy from the bottom and middle, a.k.a. Bidenomics. But between elections, the messaging is dead silent, as noted by the article and party activists. Only the anti-Oligarchy tour is active right now.

Whereas, the GOP has a 24 by 7 by 365 propaganda machine. The odd fact is that the current GOP is the exact opposite of "small government", "no interference" and "fiscal conservatism" of the "vanished" GOP, but the propaganda machine completed a full reversal of the party platform, burying it in "populist" demagoguery.

Much of Silicon Valley has supported the extreme libertarian stance, I suspect, out of fear of regulation, and love of tax breaks.

Just as magas ignore the devastating economic effects just starting to roll in, because they get to "own the libs, minorities, immigrants and so on", Valley bigwigs ignore the assault on immigrants, and on university R&D which is the lifeblood of innovation. "But the tax breaks, But the ability to buy favorable breaks from tariffs and other heavy-handed "orders".

Whether the libertarianism is a core philosophy, as it seems to be with many Valley bigwigs, or just a way to undo constitutional guarantees, there is an "uncommon common ground" so to speak.



As for the "Valley View", read a thread about Curtis Yarvin. It "Ayn" pretty.

Edit to add: It is likely that Vance, Musk and Thiel will take over when the leader's health fails. The "crypto bro" coup will be complete. These tidbits should not be ignored. Two-thirds, South African immigrants? What irony?

And our "leaders"?

No doubt finding nice new threads for their arrest, summary trial and execution for "treason"

So much for this insightful post. We have to equal the effort to stop them and save this country as the endless effort they have to destroy and own the remnants.
And we are 30 years + behind in this war. Wasting another minute is not an option. Their avalanche of destruction and plowing over everything this nation has worked to achieve, socially and scientifically, is at full speed.
And if P25 and its backers see Trump diminishing physically and mentally they will go all out to complete what has not yet been accomplished in their wet dream list before he is dead and useless.
Plan for an all out attack by them to meet that goal, from every direction and at all costs. Including lives of Americans in their way. With unlimited cash flow to do it.
I have no doubt they will use him one last time if he dies to frame dems for taking him down to start that all out civil war. And use the remains of our country like Natty Yahoo is doing Gaza. Plow it all over and create a rich man (white ones), paradise, under their rules.
But I could be completely bat shit crazy and paranoid. I Hope so.
We should not underestimate their evil and greed. They have never been closer. Like a starving hyena with a wounded baby gazelle feet away, they are ready to pounce.

I used to call Bibi "Netcom Yahoo"
Netcom is gone, along with dialup modems.

This "fake" is God's Satan's honest truth.

It's bad enough when I see his name on the front pages of the newspapers I subscribe to.

I don't do television news at all.
