Yeah! Trump was trying to be dictator. All we had to do was let him. I am also tired of this long experiment those dim bulb founders put us on.

Try getting the mods to put it over on the politics section. Good luck. In the old days you could delete a thread you started. No longer.

Everybody’s behavior is flat out embarrassing. Kinda hard to pitch democracy when everyone bickers like a 2 year old,..thinks their opinion is better than an educated expert, and nothing gets done. Not just talking about trump or the last 4 years.

I would agree that average human character, something impossible to measure, seems to be in slow but steady decline during my adult lifetime, which at this point is more than 40 years.

Hard to fathom why. One can guess at a lot of things.

I am 78 and over time the unacceptable in behaviors has become acceptable. Or at least usually tolerated. It is hard for a simple person like me to adjust to.

I have a basic system of values. That do not have a great amount of flexibility. Simple concepts like the fundementals of right and wrong. Have become distorted to a substantial degree.

At least my limited intelligence and awarenes of the past protects me from most of them. Yet some have become so structured there is little to no defense possible.

People get enticed into situations today that are far outside of being reasonable. It actually is pretty endemic now. It really is not their fault as they did not live through an era where these issues where minimal. So they have no personal basis of comparison.

There actually existed many acceptable laws that dictated extremes that where illegal. Even if still on the books are never enforced now. i have watched the systemic deterioration progress. For far too many years now.

It provides at least some insight into what is more likely to be than not. Although I will not be around to see it.

I do not live in the past. It is just a useful tool for comparisons at times. That I personally experienced.

The above is for sure in the top ten most ridiculous and unfounded by fact statements I’ve seen on this forum in the twenty years I’ve been viewing. Does that kool aid TASTE good?

The corrupt media is making a chump out of you cmac.

You have lost your mind Larry. Right now he's showing us that he wants to be emperor.

It’s very clear why! It’s as plain as the nose on your face. Every failure of a successful society follows the same three step pattern and the US is no different. 1) Spiritual apostasy. 2) Moral awfulness. 3) Political anarchy.

It is extremely clear that we are in step 3. Stage 3 for us is like a mud slide in slow motion. Right there in front of us and an amazing number of people can’t see it. Don’t know if it will completely fall in my lifetime, but it is quite obvious that it is falling.

Excellent description of the trump adoration. You have set aside your religion, supposed moral values, and respect for this country in voting into office a totally immoral man whose religion is greed and power, while of so little integrity that any method to obtain it is A-OK.

Meanwhile you applaud the political anarchy hes caused, and your support a false and fact free crusade to subvert the overwhelming decision of the american people in voting this monstrous man out of office.

If anything, your sky high hypocrisy on this subject says a lot more about your personal spiritual apostasy and moral awfulness in courting political anarchy.
