2020 Presidential Race

I think they along with many leaders in other countries are globalist.

I believe the end game is no borders and one world digital currency with them.

Globalists vs nationalists is the way I see it.

This is where I see it now also.

Political parties in the US are like cats...or cockroaches. They have nine lives and then some. I’ve seen times where I didn’t think Dems or R’s would get up off the mat, but they always seems to. What remains to be seen is how the R’s reshape themselves after all of this. I know a lot of Dems on here have all but driven the last nail in the coffin on the R’s, but Dems don’t have a lot to crow about given their massive lurch to the left, a trending loss of certain minority voter segments and the fact that voters gave the R’s a significant boost in the House that wasn’t supposed to happen. They have their own issues (and infighting) to deal with too, lest they sink their own party again.

After Obama won in 2008, everyone said the GOP was finished. Then they won in the following midterms. After Trump won and the GOP had the legislative branch, everyone said the Democratic party was dead. Dems then won the House and closed the gap in the Senate in the following midterms. Now we have PE Biden. Happens after every election, and it is always a wrong hot take from political pundits.

Whete do the good neighbors fall on that scale? Make sure our own are taken care of first, address risks that may affect our safety from outside using diplomacy first, but help in crisis situations with aid where and when able?

Keep on whining. America first! This country is going to change, get on board or get ran over.

God help us if you are right

So... 10 million to Pakistan is taking care of our own?

AOC voted for Pelosi

Thanks, corrected.

 

[zeppelin128]

Pelosi just asked for all gender pronouns to be removed from legislative policy.

Does this appear to be inroads working to you?

That's a pretty standard agreement among Democrats and liberals.

 

[carlos86]

The Republicans with common sense are telling the Trump Republicans to shut up and stop demonizing the Electoral College because that’s the only way we win Presidential elections.

Britain use to feel the same way.

I have to disagree. Tennessee is home to a multiplicity of old cultures that have not exactly gotten along through its history.

Appalachian / hillbilly culture is very nuanced on its own. People who don't take time to understand that the distrust of government goes back 500+ years for this group are really missing the point. Lots of beautiful language throwbacks to Elizabethan English that have even been lost in the British isles at this point.

I don't disagree with a word that you've said. In fact, there's a great read on the very subject you speak of (by Bruce Wheeler, for any of you interested). Again, my contention is in declaring Tennessee "sophisticated," but perhaps I misunderstood what the original post was implying.

Its really not.

I have alot of democrat friends who I went to college with at OSU and one is a professor now there.

They all still think him and her are acceptable.

The losing of gender terms is a much further leftist idea that aligns with coastal blue states which are further left than the average Democrat.

The average blue collar Democrat is not worried about gender terms or whether someone is non binary.

Sounds reasonable. I dont mind natural disaster relief, but I will go old school. Nations have no friends, just interests and do not entangle yourself with alliances. One of the things I liked about energy independence is being able to be flexible in response, not just mandatory reaction. Our budget cannot support this continuence. The goose is outta golden eggs.

You realize that questioning the legitimacy of a state election is not the same as questioning the electoral college, right?

If there is voter fraud the same fraud would simply carry over to a popular voting system.

I spent 1/3 of my childhood on my maternal grandparents farm just off a logging trail headed towards McMinnville on 111. My Pa owned a large tree nursery that now belongs to my uncle. I know the experience of picking okra and breaking beans and shucking corn for hours on end (and packsaddles. I hate packsaddles.) , then riding the edges of the nursery plots to make sure everything was OK. Then lunch.

I both understand and don't understand the culture at the same time. What they lacked in government assistance or aid was made up for by the generosity of others. And that generosity was returned in spades. I remember Pa and some deacons going to "take a visit" with fella up the way who liked the bottle more than his wife. He came home with a couple shotguns he didn't leave with. That kind of community lifestyle has slowly been replaced with fierce individualism Uber alles.

And now that I've lived in the city, I miss the rural edge life. Close enough to the country I can see the stars at night and make a fire pit in my backyard without 20 pages of applications, but close enough to the city that my weekly hospital visits don't mean a day off work.

Our home, even though we weren't there much growing up because my dad was in the AF, is in that general vicinity. I've always felt when I was going NW on I-24 and headed down Monteagle that I was going home - I generally use 111 and 8 these days and stay as far away from 24 as possible.

Every single Republican that opposes certifying the election is about to get their ass handed to them until they're out of office.

You are correct. I meant most Democratic politicians.
