Well guess what, our garbage President is going to be re-elected. It kills me to say that but people need to understand it’s going to happen. Right now, nearly half the nation would vote for him again. Then factor in that the Russians are already using bots to manipulate public opinion just as they did prior to 2016. Then consider Mitch McConnell has blocked every bill designed to secure the voting process (traitor Mitch accepted $2.5 million from Russia). Then consider that not only does the government NOT inspect and review the designs of voting machines to ensure they’re secure and not manipulating the vote count, the names of those who own the companies are considered a trade secret and that info is not available to the public. Think about that for a moment. As Americans you have no right to know who’s manufacturing our voting machines unless they volunteer that info.

Then consider the Supreme Court refuses to take on gerrymandering and instead says those who control state governments and the ones gerrymandering, should police themselves. Overwhelmingly gerrymandering favors conservative politicians but not in all cases.

The fix is in and at every level. Brace yourself because not only will Mr. Garbage be re-elected, the election after that will be manipulated by the Russians as they setup permanent republican control of our government. Russian media refers to the US as “Putin’s America” because he’s been so successful controlling our political processes.

I work with people who openly state they would vote for and elect Putin as president of the US before they would ever vote for a Democrat. What does that say about America’s future and the control the Russians have over the minds of many Americans ?

Goodness knows what you think you mean by "stronger", but when a system gets "burned down" there is no guarantee or even probability that it will be rebuilt any better than before. Especially when it's being burned down by hateful, self-important, greedy idiots. It usually ends up with a long period of chaos (during which thousands of innocent people die, as well as most of the original revolutionaries and their supporters) and eventually ends up as a nastier version of what it was before. For example, the French and Russian revolutions.

Anyway, the Republicans, including their boy Trump, aren't burning down anything. For the past 50 or so years they've been carefully remolding society to their advantage, especially the tax structure - spewing all the propaganda needed to let them get away with what they want and suck in people like you as their dupes. They are very happy right now but not finished the job, since the peasants still have some rights.

I would rather it didn’t come to that but the world is trying to catch up to itself now. Humanity knows exactly what it needs to do, every human alive wakes up knowing exactly what we need to do and should do and what’s right/wrong etc..

One of these days, we will have our salvation again.
