Chindie Posted August 24, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2023 America is a giant experiment in to what the outcome of a society that operates entirely on cold hard greed would be. Turns out it works out really well for some people and **** every thing else. Including truth, integrity, basic humanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted August 24, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2023 In truth it's a miracle it lasted this long. It's too big, and too divided on a state to state level to be one entity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 90% of their problems could be solved by making political lobbying for cash illegal. It's basically bribery by another name, and it's the nefarious, selfish types who have the baksheesh.

Captain_Townsend Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 A lot of their current problems, not all of course there is a history of division and increasing polarisation since the 90s, are caused by social media manipulation from Russia. Has made it even more toxic - Trump is basically Putin's candidate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would still happen, but at reduced scale, certainly. It clearly happens here, but if anyone finds out about the brown envelope, it's curtains for your career. Politicians are scumbags who will say anything, things they don't believe to get into office. I'd rather they be lying to get the public vote, than lying to get the corporate cash.

They were asked during the debate. I mean , obviously at least some of them do, but that's a party line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted August 25, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) BBC Breakfast just interviewed a Trump supporter outside the Jail. He said he could tell us right now that if Trump was just playing Golf and not trying to become President again this arrest wouldn't have happened. Interviewer "How do you know that?" Redneck "I know it for a fact" Interviewer "How?" Long pause, looks away, looks back "Because I'm an intelligent man" Being a Brummie I'm hesitant to mention the accent but the southern drawl didn't really help much either.

Genie Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 A few months back there was one of his supporters that was spouting rubbish and the reporter corrected every incorrect statement they made (stuff about Obama not being American). Then reporter asked if there is anything at all Trump could do that would cause you to not vote for him, the reply was no. What a massive cult. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
