They could be. But they won't.

A future Democrat will lie to their base and pretend to undo stuff, but they will keep most logical Trump programs that they can hide. Just like Biden did.

Tariffs I don’t expect to go away because the democrats love revenue streams. Biden didn’t drop Trump 1.0s tariffs on China. They only make a stink about it because his name is associated with it.

war culls the young, the healthy, the productive, which is the opposite of what we need and would just make the situation worse.

I mean, if it was conducted under the highest standards of honor, sure, most casualties would be upstanding physically able young men

But let’s look at Ukraine, where both countries have had massive draft dodging and pay foreigners and convicts to come blow up old people

Like I said, we live in a democracy so we don't select leaders for long-term sense, we select for short-term gibs and promises. It is a terrible way to run a country and this was known 2000 years ago when Plato wrote Republic but nonetheless, here we are, saddled with it until the collapse.

Out of curiosity, do you think a democratic system where the elected executive serves for life (advocated for by Alexander Hamilton during the Constitutional Convention) would be a better system or be just as problematic as the current form of governance?

No, I think the only way a democratic system works is in an accelerated vacuum. There needs to be a swift process that tackles things on a per issue basis else you're forever stuck with bloat, party lines, regulation, etc.

 

[Jace on ice]

There are at least a hundred million third workd foreigners possibly more in the U.S and the American people have never voted on whether they want them here, not even once there has never been a vote on mass immigration.

Hard to argue that the Democratic process is working here.

The issue with modern democracies is not who gets elected. Its who is doing the electing.

Well, that’s a tough one. Removing campaign cycles would eliminate the main malign influence vector, but how well can you expect lifers to adapt to new circumstances?

Like as far as the Supreme Court goes, it seems like the older you are, the more based, but it’s hard to trust that

One thing is for sure, and that’s that we need to drastically change the incentive structure that attracts sociopathic ladder climbers to run for office. Less benefits, less face time on camera, less fame

New York Times is actually defending Petey Pete, saying WaPo is bullshit:



I didn't realize the WaPo writer was the same psycho bitch who basically stalked Tulsi for years:

It would probably be better by virtue of getting rid of the myopic focus on exclusively the next four years. Of course the problem with lifetime appointments (or kings, emperors, etc.) is still that you need a good one. Restricting the voting franchise as much as possible to the more intelligent would probably help as far as selecting a leader. Plato's criticisms of democracy are very strong, but his ideas in Republic about how to restructure society to reliably produce great leaders are frankly insane. Definitely a hard problem

What if we invented a new kind of war that was only for old people and the retarded

Boomers vs black single mothers. Televised. If you pay five hundred dollars to the federal government you get to pilot one of the kamikaze drones thrown into the mix to spice things up.

I see bulbheads are taking a page out of the Jewish playbook by saying Minnesota was promised to them 3,000 years ago.

I’m sure that will go really well for them

Take this with a grain since its from Laura Loomer.

But:

TL;DR Secretary of the Army is trying to coup Hegseth by leaking shit to Jake Sullivan.

Pretty easy from my perspective.

You ask them “is the emperor a god?”

The most equivocation allowed is “by any practical standard, yes”

Equate to the ruinous powers? Deny divinity? Bolter to the dome

Edit to add: if they mained horde back when they still played WoW, that’s a disqualification for preferring edgelord diversity over humanity

Meanwhile in the Yookay…

Just give them Minnesota but then build a wall around it and bomb the airports

Just leave it and let it be an example of the Somali retard brain and all its efforts. Show the world, daily, that even with nonstop theft and constant gibs, they can never succeed with any morals or ethics. They produce nothing of value. Even a jeet - My god, a jeet, can resist the urge to murder people somewhat. Somalians can't even do that. The only thing they can invent is new types of AIDS.

 

[Breadbassket]

Give the Somalis nothing in the United States, they deserve not even a street.
