The GOP is committed to the system's destruction. ... Because they can no longer figure a way to retain power with the rules the system operates under, and, because more than half their number are content to be bribed by the Russians to destroy it. Subversion is so much cheaper than tanks and nukes. And the GQP still love to call the left communists!!!

One of the central elements of the Big Lie is the complaint about the "cities burned down by BLM". Unpacking that... While it is true that some buildings were looted and burned in the aftermath of BLM protests, that leaves out how the BLM protests were always peaceful until the police began rioting. The over-reaction of the police and the resulting chaos provided the diversion and cover for looters. Essentially no connection has been documented to link the BLM protesters with the looters, but it is known that the white supremacists used these events as opportunities for arson that could then be blamed on non-whites (or incidents like Kyle Rittenhouse). Umbrella-man is an example. Minneapolis police say 'Umbrella Man' was a white supremacist trying to incite George Floyd rioting https://www.startribune.com/police-umbrella-man-was-a-white-supremacist-trying-to-incite-floyd-rioting/571932272/

We can only hope that the effort to restore democracy is going on behind the scenes. Meanwhile, since it is being flouted so openly by the Republican Party and the right wing, many are losing faith and hope in the rule of law."

To Pbuck0145 and racocn8 and others of like mind: You call yourselves conservatives.

racocn8 comments on Sep 17, 2021:

(I haven't called myself conservative.) I am in favor of conserving biodiversity by reducing Humanity's impact. I favor conserving those laws that were enacted with good faith i.e. income tax yes, but not cannabis criminalization. While I favor conserving the current constitutional government, that is only out of practicality. I do not favor the Electoral College, Citizens United, excessive govt secrecy, gerrymandering, unregulated capitalism. I claim that science and the technology derived provide our improved standard of living, and the programs fostering those should have priority. Grossly unequal wealth and income should be checked via regulation. I don't believe the current system can effectively function going forward, and much greater effort needs to be expended to improve mental health and to assess people's problems, and limiting the psychotics from safety sensitive positions, i.e. govt, military, law enforcement. Similarly, corruption poisons our systems, and much more should be done to ensure that only people who are sincerely committed to the public good be allowed to serve. @Pbuck0145 has claimed to be a Classical Liberal. From Wikipedia comes this: "Classical Liberals asserted that rights are of a negative nature and therefore stipulate that other individuals and governments are to refrain from interfering with the free market, opposing social liberals who assert that individuals have positive rights, such as the right to vote, the right to an education, the right to health care, and the right to a living wage. For society to guarantee positive rights, it requires taxation over and above the minimum needed to enforce negative rights." I do favor those issues that Classical Liberals oppose, so that makes me a Social Liberal. I do favor voting, education, health care and a living wage. Also, I favor taxation and eminent domain to level the playing field which currently favors the wealthy and corporations to an extreme. That includes breaking up and/or nationalizing (broken up and sold off) corporate monopolies, ideally on a large scale.

It might have been treason if Milley had said we were going to attack... I like the pizza delivery analogy. We should be talking about Trump being psychotic, and the Republicans being OK with that. But the bigger issue is that Trump conspired with Russia and did their bidding while in office. Trump is not the only politician loyal to Russia - - Congress is full of them (The entire Senate GOP caucus, Gillibrand, Schumer, & others). The Russians have established a beach-head and more. They are so entrenched that the rest of the government has been intimidated into never broaching the subject. What happened to indicting Trump after January. The Mueller Report has all the charges neatly listed. The Milley story is bullshit because the Chinese certainly know Trump is a Russian asset, and that Putin wouldn't dare have the US attack them.

China is not in that great of a position. Geographically, much of China consists of steep mountains and arid deserts. The 30-40 % that is habitable is limited in farmland. The habitable portions of the country are still badly overpopulated with all the ecological destruction and pollution that go with it. Politically, the communists may be officially atheist, but they are obeisant to that communism, communism which is more fascist than communal. Indeed, they seem to have a rigid oligarchy which suffers from the same favoritism and corruption that afflicts the US. While Chinese may seem to accept their government and system, it is only because the alternative is severe punishment or death. China has a lot to deal with, and spends considerable resources trying to scavenge the rest of the world's resources, physical and intellectual.
