I'm not worried about either. The rails have been set centuries before we were born.
More the fool you.

He does know that a lot of that heavily revolves around congress yes?
Many campaign promises implicitly assume control of Congress as well as the presidency. Occasionally they will mention that the whole package is needed.He does know that a lot of that heavily revolves around congress yes?
Trump supporters aren't a hivemind any more than liberals are, in fact I bet there are quite a few liberals who previously voted for Obama but couldn't tolerate the Democrats Neoliberalism and House Clinton any longer, and felt like they've been pushed to support Trump not out of a particular "like" for Trump but out of desperation because they see how hopelessly corrupt the Democrats have become and essentially view Trump as nothing more than controlled opposition and a protest vote (against the De-Facto Ruling Party).That part is quite true. Trump is merely a symptom of a cause, and that cause is the alienation of certain classes from the neoliberal agenda of the US elites that rose after the fall of the USSR.
From the left, it was moving from outright socialism to socialism-adjacent topics. The so called Watermelon Politics of communists infiltrating and subverting minority racialist groups, environmental groups, Palestinian groups, feminists, LGBT activism and many others.
From the right, it was the rise of the Neocons and their obsession with foreign wars as well as their dedication to just obstructing Liberal policies for a decade or two rather than pushing conservative policies.
Trump supporters basically think the Republican Party can't be trusted and that the so called New Left is an increasingly larger threat to them. And after the failure of the social system post the 60s, lack the restraint or means to affect politics themselves. So the natural result is....well, supporting radicals who promise to bring it all down.

Do you actually believe that the January 6th Riot was an attempt to overthrow the Republic?What instead happened was a plethora of petty scandals and one ineffectual attempt to overthrow the Republic that only ended with one rioter shot dead and everyone else rounded up and jailed with heavy sentences.
Sorta describes me, but replace liberal stuff with the corresponding libertarian stuff. Usually, I'd vote for the libertarian party, as it gets ballot access. But instead, I find that the criminalization of politics is so bad I need to vote Trump.Trump supporters aren't a hivemind any more than liberals are, in fact I bet there are quite a few liberals who previously voted for Obama but couldn't tolerate the Democrats Neoliberalism and House Clinton any longer, and felt like they've been pushed to support Trump not out of a particular "like" for Trump but out of desperation because they see how hopelessly corrupt the Democrats have become and essentially view Trump as nothing more than controlled opposition and a protest vote (against the De-Facto Ruling Party).
at a guess it means they will stop firing random people who pray on school grounds like that coach who prayed at a football game. worst case scenario they have a 5 minute block at the start of the day for prayer that other kids can just sit silently during. not a big deal.Can't say I care much for "prayer back in schools." Public schools shouldn't play favorites. Also, I can't help but wonder about these "freedom cities" and where exactly they will be built.
That's, IMO, a very bad scenario for America specifically. America works on assimilating it's many people, with many religions. Attacking that assimilation is the worst thing you can do. It accomplishes exactly what leftists do with diversity bullshit, regardless of intention. Also, it would forfeit the Republican's high ground on keeping politics out of school.worst case scenario they have a 5 minute block at the start of the day for prayer thot other kids can just sit silently during. not a big deal.

Our defeat. Theirs too, of course, and theirs will come before ours.What destiny?
Well, the rioters and Trump seemed to think it was. I personally think there was no plan for what to do after they entered the building....but that defiance of government authority on such a scale cannot be let off.Do you actually believe that the January 6th Riot was an attempt to overthrow the Republic?
It was a small riot, including breaking and entering for some offenders. Some misdemeanor charges are appropriate, and if accusations of assault and battery are actually substantiated, more serious charges for them.Well, the rioters and Trump seemed to think it was.

What it was not was an attempted violent coup or insurrection, and it's not like it was even remotely close.
Do you know how to tell when American Conservatives are actually attempting such a thing?
And yet when the regressive left does it, usually several orders of magnitude worse than what happened on January 6th, it almost always is; to the point where most people, particularly those who unthinkingly consume and accept the regressive left's propaganda as gospel, forget it ever even happened. Heck, some (like my aunt for example) even get this vacant expression on their faces when you try and remind them, and you end up seeing in real time what it looks like when someone's brain tries to memory hole a conversation that's currently in progress.Well, the rioters and Trump seemed to think it was.
