When does the insanity end?

[kentuck]

How does one compete with the insanity?

How can anyone be more insane than the present regime in Washington?

Is half of America ready for a straitjacket?

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

They are crazy and proud of it.

[RockRaven]

1. Never. This is what 1/3 of Americans voted FOR, and another 1/3 couldn't be bothered

to OPPOSE it. And if they wouldn't get off their asses to oppose THIS, they won't for anything.

This is what America is now, a morally and intellectually defunct shithole nation by choice.

2. You might ask people from other countries.

They have had their insane times, and recently, not just WWII style, but who reads and studies history?

We forget, and rhyme, if not repeat verbatim.

You're seeing verbatim now. Shitler Junior.

Someone gotta stand up and slap him down. No more wagging fingers.

3. The insanity ends when the public doesn't believe them anymore

With peak power comes arrogance. Eventually credibility will plunge. Those at peak power are often the last to find out.

Democrats should be working to accelerate the slippage with real activities. Think boycotts more than logic.

Pride goeth before the fall.

4. Imnsvho, it will not end until the collective unconscious...

of America and the western world moves away from fascism.

Our whole society -- every instituion, business, and household
is structured top down in a fascist framework.

A change would require a global mindchange in this regard,
away from mechanism and towards holism.

I just don't see that happening. All I see among people is a
kind of willingness to resist and get "democracy" back, but
it doesn't seem to take hold in a way that actually moves
us out of this mess.

It makes me think that maybe we are moving toward extinction
as a collective, and that maybe this is the natural way of things,
the way energy transforms.

I just wish it didn't have to be so painful and ugly.

7. Perhaps it is something that cannot be settled politically?

How does one compromise with insanity?

We have no choice but to fight or to surrender.

[ananda]

23. It can only be settled by a global mindchange...

a different way of looking at others and the world.

This was all predicted by the quantum physicists
whose work and research saw the universe as
a hologram and reality as basically holistic.

I took to holism early on, and especially after
reading the works of John Steinbeck, who managed
to channel the holistic version of spiritual masters
and incorporate it into his works.

The quantum physicists then really nailed it for me.

The evils that have beset us have to do with seeig
the world and others as mechanistic, as parts of
a whole instead of the whole itself.

Descartes pushed the theory of mechanism very
strongly and then the Industrial Revolution sealed it.

It's hard not to believe in mechanism these days because
our whole society is ingrained with it.

But when you look at the collapse of society and the chaos
that is ensuing, you realize that there really is something
else going on... and that this was predicted by all the holists.

5. Not in my lifetime.

As far as I'm concerned, America is over. Trump America can go to hell!!

[PJMcK]

6. Hmm... good question

I do not think it will end soon nor well.

Trump is tearing apart the fabric of our nation by exploiting the schisms that exist among the citizens of the U.S. Unlike most past presidents, Trump is not trying to unite the American people, he seeks to divide us. So much for the "United" States.

You cannot complete with his insanity especially when nearly half of the country doesn't recognize that they are being led by a man with severe mental problems. For some reason that is beyond my understanding, these Americans are in thrall to a madman.

The end, if it comes, will be ugly. Consider some alternatives:

1. Trump dies in office and Vance ascends to the presidency. He is Peter Thiel's lapdog and he would continue the Project 2025 agenda. Not good.
2. Miraculously, Trump is impeached and convicted then removed from office and Vance ascends to the presidency. Then see part 2 of #1.
3. The military gets illegal orders from Trump and decides they've had enough resulting in a coup. Not good.
4. The country limps along under Trump. The economy crashes, international relations dissolve and the U.S. becomes as isolated as North Korea. Not good.
5. Trump realizes that he's losing his grip on power so he declares martial law and makes himself a dictator. Not good.

I am certain there are other scenarios but I'm equally certain that they don't end well, either.

Although I have always been an optimist, I really don't see how we get out of this terrible mess and rebuild our nation. Sadly, I really don't.

It's my opinion that we need to make plans for our own survival.

[kentuck]

8. When even the most bald-faced lies are believed by half the country...

It does put us into quite a pickle.

[GP6971]

10. First post huh? Plan on staying long?

[GP6971]

12. Hmmm...OK then. EYS!!!

[GP6971]

15. I think the reverse is true.

[GP6971]

19. Back so soon!!! Damn...you're quick!

22. You guys worship RFnKJr because he swims in sewage & thinks it makes him stronger.

You guys predicted mass deaths in the streets six months after the "jab". Then you revised it to three years. What is it now? You do your own research, cherry pick data, and look at it from the wrong end of the microscope.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Sucker. DU is thriving. Your FReak site is drowning in its own bodily fluids

The infighting, the back stabbing, the hyper-vitriolic name calling, the inability to get consensus on basic issues like who pays tariff taxes, the fawning always-tRumpers constantly attacking the realists, the incessant fairy tales, the conspiracy theories, ... it's all doom spiralling.

[GP6971]

13. Tsk Tsk Tsk...no respect for your elders.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Everything looks good until suddenly it doesn't.

Stock Market: high PE ratio: not cheap

Labor market disruptions: Unemployment rate steady for now, but impending layoffs coming. Deportations. Govt layoffs.

Tariff taxes at unsustainable levels. Global shipping way down.

Budget bill: blowing up the deficit despite lots of cuts to govt spending. Big tax cuts to 1%, but the consumer who power the economy get shafted.

Unstable incompetent Executive branch attacking allies and all other countries, attacking science and scientists (exodus), attacking Congress, attacking judiciary, revenge prosecutions.
