Q told us about Kashyap Patel two years before his appointment today. I’m sick and tired of people calling it a conspiracy. Look into it deeper. Spend a week checking their site. You will see for yourself the media are running scared from it This is run by an American ex pat living just south of Manila in the Philippines to drive traffic to his website and sell advertising. Pretty smart eh? Plug into the gullible's worst instincts and bingo. Throw enough darts and you will hit the bullseye from time to time too.

Hardly. Trump did it openly and without apology. He even said why.
One thing is for sure. The media are doing handstands to avoid even mentioning it. They are clearly worried.

In seeking to understand why 70m people voted for him the easy answer is there are 70m reasons. However with no empirical evidence just my guessing I would say the following generalisations can be made. There are people with very low IQ who genuinely believe (or want to believe) his rhetoric. Probably balanced against a similar number of numpties who voted for the other old bloke. It is an established fact that the education level of the average Biden voter is higher than the average Trump voter. So the number of numpties isn't balanced. Like here there are plenty who would vote for a pig if it wore the right colour rosette. That's true. They did. Not too many of the vast evangelical numbers will vote Democrat but they consider it their duty to vote. Some of the evangelicals hold views that no self-respecting Christian ought to be associated with. This is a very strange movement. And then there are a very large number of white people who are sick to the back teeth of being rubbished as racists etc. just because they are white. I actually have some sympathy with that view. This is bs. There are a very large number of "white" people who are not racist and are not called racist, so aren't the least ofended. That there are some that really are racist who get offended when outed and then seek to extend that offence to everyone else is offensive to me. And there are others.

I won't be holding my breath though that anything substantive will emerge. the media aren't avoiding anything. They are reporting Trump's claims but without evidence what else is there to report?

What’s your website called?

I think Teddy Eagle has a valid question. I don't support Trump but as 70m people voted for him that has to tell you something. It is just a guess but I would say many of those people feel let down by previous politicians, they feel that their concerns have not been addressed. Now Trump may not be the answer but the responsible politicians have a duty to ask why was he so popular. When you live in an area where the factories have closed and the jobs have been exported to China Trump had a point about bringing those jobs back. He may not have had the right solution but at least he was seen as putting America first. Politicians keep on ignoring the people at their peril, they did it with Brexit when minor changes would have satisfied most people. The Democrats will now need to fix some of the inner city issues if they don't then maybe next time around groups they rely on such as black people will look elsewhere for leadership.
Show me a hierarchical system (government or otherwise) and I will show you some people who feel their concerns have not been addressed. Can you name a government in the history of the world who have addressed the concerns of all of their people? Trump is "seen" as doing many things, because he talks...he talks, and talks, and talks some more drivel and diatribe. Wearing a hat with "Make America Great Again" on it and claiming you will "build the wall" and "lock her up" is common or garden populism for the proletariat. There is no "the people" in this society, its a lazy argument. This country is utterly divided down the middle, so how the heck are politicians supposed to make everyone happy? "Fix some inner city issues". Again, sounds so simple....
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

Wise words. People just need to believe they are being listened to. If Biden vanishes onto the Washington bubble for 4 years expect another populist leader ousting him in 4 years. Biden is a globalist. He will "green-new-deal" (and all the othe crap) the blue collar workers out of existence in places like PA. It's what globalism does. Orange man said "America first". Orange man bad. America first bad. The only tonic against the destruction of your labour base through globalism is to not dabble in it. The US will discover this to their detriment over the next 4 years. I'm inclined to say "serves them right".

If Biden does what he says there are a lot of Biden voters who are going to have cause to regret their votes: they will literally pay for it. Edited by Stirlingsays (11 Nov 2020 2.16am)
