Targeting the industries in their regions, redistributing their money to other regions, and funneling drugs into their communities so they kill themselves is a great way to radicalize them. And stop listening to MSNBC soundbytes ffs. --- |

TheMikh posted...once it comes down to large-scale hooking up on the basis of political ideology, the country may as well split apart There have always been differences in cultural norms and ideals governing sexual selection, and while some of these differences correlated with party, others didn't. We have reached a point where those cultural norms can be identical, and even ideals, but voting choice alone - that is to say, the question of specific implementation - is the distinguishing factor. We divide ourselves into tribes along so little as linguistics. It's ethnic divergence by another name, even within the same ethnicities. No one is born with a specific political belief There is a correlation between genetics and political disposition. --- |

People so dumb that they don't realize true equality stems from individual responsibility and freedom that does not harm, infringe, or impede upon the liberties of others. There are people in this country that unironically believe that accountability is oppression and successful people always rob others of opportunity. --- |

| TheMikh 12/17/18 2:49:14 PM #37 | Darkman124 posted... TheMikh posted...Tyranthraxus posted...Paul Ryan is literally jumping off a sinking ship. He announced retirement long time before the Republicans got crushed out of the House because he knew it was coming. I expect we'll see him attempt to become one of those "Enlightened Centritsts" It's far more nuanced than "they're plotting to make America more conservative." The overton window has seen significant expansion to the left since 2004, and in the social realm the right has slowly followed suit, albeit with some skepticism here or there. There has been a multifaceted civil war in the American right since the 1990s. Currently, the most visible conflict is between the Paleocons and the Neocons. The former: isolationist, protectionist, bottom-up/localist in political matters. The latter: interventionists/warhawks, globalist, top-down in political matters. When the neocons lost credibility due to getting America stuck in expensive and pointless foreign conflicts, they began to posture themselves as libertarian due to their advocacy of free trade, their opposition to protectionism/localism allowing them to posture themselves as more cosmopolitan than Paleocons. With this framing, they could masquerade as moderates, and as insurgents against Trump, whose rise to power was fueled by Paleocons. Neocons are little different from establishment Democrats - they just prefer freer markets, less taxes, and they formally declared their pointless wars rather than conducting operations without congressional authorization, as Obama did (particularly in Libya, Syria, and Pakistan). Fact of the matter is, both parties have had fascist tendencies for decades. The doctrine of Fascist Corporatism is the de facto doctrine of American politics as it relates to economic intervention; the parties just favor different industries. The popular reaction to this zeitgeist has most notably occurred in the form of the anarchistic Occupy movement on the left, and more recently the Paleocon revolt on the right. I'd argue the Tea Party was also a reaction to this, but being dominated by self-interested boomers, its heart wasn't in the right place and it was doomed to fail. The Paleocon revolt was most visible in their rallying behind Trump, but since Bannon's departure from the administration, its political manifestation has slowly crumbled as Trump - due to sheer political incompetence or otherwise - has shifted to a more "establishment" mode of operation, inviting Neocons into his cabinet and making certain geopolitical moves that reflect that camp's standard operating procedure - most notably maintaining a cozy relationship with the KSA. All the Democrats really need to do to win is to let Trump continue to alienate his base, and run a candidate that isn't a Marxist, refuses to suck up to Saudi Arabia or support its cold war against Shias, gives lip service to putting power back in the hands of local communities, and doesn't pander solely to urban coastal interests. --- |

I expect we'll see him attempt to become one of those "Enlightened Centritsts" It seems this neocon infiltration of the "enlightened centrists" camp has become a trend since they lost all credibility in the 2000s. I'd like to believe people will see through this rebranding and know better than to believe a word they say or trust their intentions, but knowing the short memory people have, that probably won't be the case. --- |

The stock market bubble, however, seems to be a direct result of rock bottom interest rates during the Obama years - as they rise, I can see the bubble gradually defusing at best (albeit accompanied by short-term volatility) or imploding in a worst case scenario, but the odds of the latter don't seem so significant. --- |
