    I hope he is going to be the first one at the front of the battlefield. These people can not even control their own household and they are inviting other people to die for them. The US government has sent thousands of soldiers to others countries when people have tried to overthrow the governments. They are just reading comics books

    I don’t consider her opinion as any more informed than any other here, but AOC states “a very real risk” democracy will cease to exist in the US within a decade.

    Simple demographics suggest the demise of US democracy

    By 2040, 70 percent of Americans are expected to live in the 15 largest states, which are also home to the overwhelming majority of the 30 largest cities in the country. By extension, 30 percent of Americans will live in the other 35 states. That means that 70 percent of Americans get just 30 Senators and 30 percent of Americans have 70 Senators.

    When the Democratic Party had total control of the white voters it was the opposite case, and Afro-Americans were supporters of the Republican Party and then in 1968, they switched.

    The Republican agenda from the ‘MODERATES’

    https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000017f-1cf5-d281-a7ff-3ffd5f4a0000

    Our kids will say the pledge of allegiance, salute the Flag, learn that America is a great country, and choose the school that best fits them. We will inspire patriotism and stop teaching the revisionist history of the radical left; our kids will learn about the wisdom of the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the founding fathers. Public schools will focus on the 3 R’s, not indoctrinate children with critical race theory or any other political ideology.

    Government will never again ask American citizens to disclose their race, ethnicity, or skin color on any government forms. We are going to eliminate racial politics in America. No government policy will be based on race. People “will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” We are all made in the image of God; to judge a person on the color of their epidermis is immoral.

    The soft-on-crime days of coddling criminal behavior will end. We will re-fund and respect the police because they, not the criminals, are the good guys. We will enforce our laws, all of them, and increase penalties for theft and violent crime. We will clean up our cities and stop pretending that crime is OK. We have zero-tolerance for “mostly peaceful protests” that attack police officers, loot businesses, and burn down our cities.

    We will secure our border, finish building the wall, and name it after President Donald Trump. Nations have borders. We should give that a try. President Trump’s plan to build a wall was right. We welcome those who want to join us in building the American dream, immigrants who want to be Americans, not change America. We are a stronger nation because we are a nation of immigrants; but immigration without assimilation makes us weaker. Politicians from both parties talk big about border security and do nothing. We are done with that.

    We will grow America’s economy, starve Washington’s economy, and stop Socialism. Socialism is un-American and always leads to poverty and oppression. We will stop it. We will shrink the federal government, reduce the government work force by 25% in 5 years, sell government buildings and assets, and get rid of the old, slow, closed, top-down, government-run-everything system we have today

    We will eliminate all federal programs that can be done locally, and enact term limits for federal bureaucrats and Congress. Many government agencies should be either moved out of Washington or shuttered entirely. Yesterday’s old government is fundamentally incompatible with the digital era. The permanent ruling class in Washington is bankrupting us with inflation and debt, so they must be removed. For you to have more, Washington must have less.
    We will protect the integrity of American Democracy and stop left-wing efforts to rig elections. Today’s Democrat Party is trying to rig elections and pack the courts because they have given up on Democracy. They don’t believe they can win based on their ideas, so they want to game the system and legalize voter fraud to stay in power. In true Orwellian fashion, Democrats refer to their election rigging plans as “voting rights”. We won’t allow the radical left to destroy our democracy by institutionalizing dishonesty and fraud.

    We will protect, defend, and promote the American Family at all costs. The nuclear family is crucial to civilization, it is God’s design for humanity, and it must be protected and celebrated. To say otherwise is to deny science. The fanatical left seeks to devalue and redefine the traditional family, as they undermine parents and attempt to replace them with government programs. We will not allow Socialism to place the needs of the state ahead of the family.

    Men are men, women are women, and unborn babies are babies. We believe in science: Men and women are biologically different, ‘male and female He created them.’ Modern technology has confirmed that abortion takes a human life. Facts are facts, the earth is round, the sun is hot, there are two genders, and abortion stops a beating heart. To say otherwise is to deny science.

    Americans will be free to welcome God into all aspects of our lives, and we will stop all government efforts to deny our religious freedom and freedom of speech. The Democrat Party and their Big Tech allies are not merely secular; they have virtually created a new religion of wokeness that is increasingly hostile toward people of faith, particularly Christians and Jews. They are determined to drive all mention of God out of public view. We will not be silenced, canceled, or told what words to use by the politically correct crowd.

    We are Americans, not globalists. America will be dependent on NO other country. We will conduct no trade that takes away jobs or displaces American workers. Countries who oppose us at the UN will get zero financial help from us. We will be energy independent and build supply chains that never rely on our adversaries. We will only help countries that are willing to defend themselves, like Israel.

    Fixing the elections

    https://www.commondreams.org/news/2022/04/21/dems-chant-black-votes-are-under-attack-florida-gop-rams-through-desantis-map

    The ACLU of Florida argued that “the governor’s map is a blatant and illegal partisan gerrymander.”

    “These maps clearly sever Black communities across the state, manipulate the lines to favor the governor’s party, and diminish minority voting ability in violation of the Fair Districts requirements—which were enshrined in the Florida Constitution by a supermajority of Floridians,” the group added. “Leaders of the Florida House and Senate abdicated their responsibility to craft a fair, constitutional map and ceded its authority to a governor who is clearly not interested in respecting Fair Districts.”

    Florida Republicans have not been the only ones.

    The same thing has been done by the Democrats

    This year, at least 27 states have introduced or enacted 250 pieces of legislation designed to restrict voting, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. This comes after a record year in which 19 US states enacted 34 restrictive voting laws in 2021.

    https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/5/3/republican-party-is-waging-a-nationwide-assault-on-voting-rights

    ‘If Republicans win in the midterm elections through voter suppression, they will continue to enact unpopular measures such as book bans and abortion bans, prohibitions on political protest and the teaching of racial justice in schools, and they will be able to block any initiatives to address climate change.’

    The USA has the most backward and tricky electoral system

    it is the only place where a minority of voters can defeat the majority and that is called democracy.

    The electoral college is a vestige of the chattels slavery system and it has not been eliminated yet

    Mexico abolished slavery way before the USA and it is called a banana republic

    Extremism

    A majority of Republicans support the possible use of force to preserve the “traditional American way of life”, according to a 2021 George Washington University Politics Poll. Among Democrats the number was 15%.

    When asked if a time will come when “patriotic Americans have to take the law into their own hands”, 47% of Republicans agreed, as opposed to 9% of Democrats.

    About one-third of Republicans also agreed that “because things have gotten so far off track, true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country”, according to a 2021 survey from the Public Religion Research Institute. Among Democrats, the number was 18%.

    The US right is gaining legitimacy from foreign leaders

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/18/cpac-conference-budapest-hungary-viktor-orban-speaker

    Orbán argued this week that the western world was “committing suicide” through immigration.

    “I see the great European population exchange as a suicidal attempt to replace the lack of European, Christian children with adults from other civilizations – migrants,” Orbán declared

    Elon Musk switches to the Republicans

    “The issue here is that the Democrat Party is overly controlled by the unions and by the trial lawyers – particularly the class action lawyers,” he explained. “And generally if you see something that is not in the interest of the people on the Democrat side, it’s going to come because of unions – which is just another form of monopoly – and the trial lawyers.”

    He did add that the Republican’s problems came from problems come from “corporate evil and religious zealotry.”

    https://www.foxnews.com/media/elon-musk-lights-twitter-announcement-hell-vote-republican-next-election

    So it is clear he nevertheless considers labor unions a greater threat to his interests

    That guy does not know what he is talking about or he is just bullshitting ,

    The Democratic Party is controlled by the capitalist class, the same social class that controls the Republican Party and he is a member of that class

    The majority of the USA workers are not unionized and the unionized ones is a very small percentage

    Trial lawyers are not defenders of the working class, they are just looking for profits like most corporate lawyers

    The Democratic senators have rejected many laws that benefited the working class

    He is looking for economic gains like any other capitalist
