'Trump is a douchebag' (Ann Coulter) [original title: Dinesh’s Stupid Movie]

[Marc_LFD]

Interesting trivia: Dinesh D-Souza and Coulter were romantically involved some time ago. She's 60 now and every man she has ever dated escaped her. She has never married.

That blonde with blue eyes has no children? What will be of the Conservative Christian values!!

Spoiler

I honestly never went to church, but consider myself Christian as I'm of European ancestry. That said, there's nothing wrong mocking and insulting "Conservatives" (and "Democrats") while at it.

I'm tired of the whole Left/Right bs.

It is interesting to my that she gets attacked on a personal level, while other authors I have posted don't get that treatment. I don't know enough about her to understand the situation, I found her article interesting, it stands on its own personalties aside.

We need to get rid of the rule that says you have to be at least 35 years old to run the country, because there is plenty of fresh, young minds out there that could run this place better than the 99% of crusty-ass white men we've had so far. Old people tend to be conservative-leaning, which is just the absolute wrong direction to go, always.

Its also to note that by the time you reach your 30's you are basically too jaded to see the world change in any better way even if you had the means to do so yourself.

Younger people are idealists and want to shake up the status quo for newer, better things. When you get older and see the same shit happen over and over again no matter what promises or crap they say but nothing changes for the better, you kinda just give up hope that it will ever get any better. As a result you become part of the system of problems just hoping to get by enough to survive it.

What is really needed is to have our current system be flushed out and replaced with newer components. The way it exists now the current system will always exist even when the old figures retire/die the ones that will replace them will likely hold the same/similar values as they did. Perpetuating the system for ages to come. It would also help if to become a politician it did not require you to have assloads of cash and already existing ties to power/cash to get your position secure. There's a difference between wanting to help and represent the people because you are one of those people, and the concept of selling yourself to people claiming to understand their needs but are simply scamming them to gain power in office and do fuck all to help anyone but themselves and those who they play "hide the bribes" with.

Yes. The problem with having a plutocratic/nepotistic regime is that the will of the people is not represented at all. There needs to be some connection, but if the people of the regime are to foreign, they become paranoid with increasing plutocratic/nepotistic tendencies.

This leads to the populus drifting away from the hegemon into hyperpolarisation and eventually fracturing the whole. The higher ups of the USA have now realized this and are trying to adjust. The problem is they themselves are quite fractured and maneuvering into a more stable direction might not be possible, them being too divided. I don't see them overcoming their paranoia, forcing them into a position where they simply can't get in touch with the populus which is quite incoherent itself. All in all its a huge mess, and it does look like they will fail in the attempt of holding things together.

Their next step is going for Ron DeSantis as a decelerating move. It is the same playbook as Ronald Reagan in the 80s. The 80s however where a time of a much more coherent populus in a way better condition. It seems inplausible to me that they will be able to make this trick work again this time. There is simply no ground for it.

Yeah, I think the whole "lobbying" (throwing money at) candidates is just bullshit. It doesn't cost millions of dollars to rent out a convention center to have people show up and support you, and traveling doesn't cost millions either, so what's all the money going to exactly? It's definitely some shady shit!

Yes, whatever it is, it is the expression of a plutocracy.
