The rioters are failing to see that they are handing Trump the presidency on a silver platter. As long as there's chaos on the streets he can campaign as the law and order candidate and win the election. He points out the chaos is happening in states with Democrat governors and then says that's how all America will be under a Democrat president. Never mind the fact that he's been fanning the flames himself, provoking the riots with his racism, encouraging the police to be brutal, encouraging the AK47-toting white militiamen to "liberate" states. His whole campaign is based on lies. He's a god of hate. But when Biden tries to fight back Biden gets relegated to page 14 of the New York Times, after Ivanka Trump. The good guys are going to lose this fight.

we've been tethering on the edge of disaster ever since he got to be president. How much of that can go on without actually happening?

PhoenixRising

Can someone please just put me in a suspended animation chamber and wake me up in another five years so I don't have to live through this?

Rita, you can be sum1's co-mod until I'm back.

wickedrum

uh. Are you sure there will be anything to wake up to?

PhoenixRising

I hope so.

sum1

Unless Biden gets elected both parties in the US will keep getting more extreme endlessly.

PhoenixRising

I hope so, but I don't know. Biden is really old, and I don't know how much he's gonna be able to do in just four years. Yes, I still believe he's gonna be one term only. The Democrats will do whatever they have to in order to keep him from running again in his 80s in 2024.

sum1

But if he turns the tide against extremism they may not replace him with an extremist.

PhoenixRising

One would hope, but again, I don't know how successful he'd be. He might end up like Jimmy Carter.

sum1

If he gets in chances are he'll interrupt the progression of the populist politics.

PhoenixRising

We'll see. I'm not optimistic even if he wins. The PC police and the intersectionalists might feel emboldened, and then all hell can break loose.

I only hope Biden wins to get Trump out of office. But Biden is in no way the end all be all. I agree with Alex, one term only, and while he's in office... people need to come together, with local leaders, and congressmen (that care) and other select political officials, to make plans of slowly restructuring some of our politics, for the better of the people.

I'm not pro-Socialist person at all, as I've seen what has become of Socialist countries. However, there needs to be some new ideals that DO aid people, and put a clamp on the overly powerful and profanely wealthy. Not in the light of Socialism, but an ideal created by Americans, for Americans instead. It makes NO SENSE that corporate officers have made BILLIONS during the COVID-19 crisis, while millions of good American citizens are threatening homelessness.

Things need to change. Biden is NOT the person for the job, but... at least he's a step up... a small step up... LOL

Biden said something stupid a while ago, and I can't remember what it was but like... good grief

sum1

Trump thinks Biden and "the street" are controlled by "people in dark shadows". Barnabas, anybody?

PhoenixRising

Yeah, I hears about the Dark Shadows quote, sum1.

I agree, Marvelous Toons. I'm not optimistic about Biden and I still think he'll be a voluntary one-termer, but I hope someone better is waiting in the wings. Just not a Democrat. I can never trust them anymore. Obama was the last one I voted for.

Oh, yeah... Biden said "why don't they teach history?" and that supposedly the light bulb was invented by a black man, not "some white guy named Thomas Edison." No, Joe... the light bulb was invented by British astronomer and inventor Warren de la Rue. Will someone please tell him to shut up already?
