I really did think January 6 would be the day Trump went too far, I thought he'd be finished. But I was wrong.
It’s incredible that he wasn’t and a very worrying precedent - a pattern of coalescing far right power all over the world infiltrating the institutions of the State and a watering down of the constitutional principles upon which western liberal democracies were built. How he has run away with the GOP nomination race and some polls now even putting him ahead of Biden, is sheer madness.


WAKE UP America FFS!! Wake up before it’s too late.

Yep, I don't get it either. Are so many Americans afraid of the world that they don't want to deal with nuance, with debate, with contradictions, with difficulties...they just want a 'leader' that's arrogant, a bully, a lier, a denier... to shout at the world so they can hide behind their coat-tails and feel tough themselves?😬😬

Most of us don't want Trump it's just we do give power to minorities even when they back a despot.

The Democrats are simply losing rural America and have been for years - 97% of America is rural with nearly 18% of the population living in rural America …and rural America is small thinking, predominately white (76%), (although the white population is declining and racial diversity is slowly increasing)

  • 65% of rural voters view the Democratic Party unfavorably — including 48% who do so strongly.
  • Among 21 issues tested, a rural voter’s desire for candidates to support securing the U.S.-Mexico border had the strongest correlation with negative views about the Democratic Party
  • Only 23% of rural voters say the Democratic Party “cares more about my community” than the GOP


    ‘Over the past two years, inflation has hit rural households harder than the rest of the country. According to researchers at Iowa State University, rural households had to pay an extra $8,120 due to inflation in 2021 and 2022, more than the $7,480 paid by urban households in the same two years. Meanwhile, researchers at Cornell University estimate that 94% of the nation’s job growth since 2000 happened in urban counties. According to Pew Research, former President Donald Trump was able to win 65% of the rural vote in 2020, up from 59% in 2016, pulling more away than Mitt Romney did in 2012. Republican candidates raked in 69% of the rural vote in the 2022 midterms.’ (see link below)

Trump campaigns as the Candidate to challenge the perception that Washington/the Dems especially don’t care about the ‘little white man’ and the ‘little white man’ buys it because he is really voting with his wallet and out of fear of ‘replacement’ - a popularist candidate who promises to plug leaks in the border with Mexico, send the children born in the USA to immigrants (in the US illegally) back to the parents’ country of origin (and end automatic right of citizenship) -DACA will also be a huge issue in the Election (see wiki link) - a popularist candidate who promises to help rural people keep their guns, their farms and their neighbourhoods free of Mexico’s ‘rapists’, ‘criminals’ and ‘LGQBTs’ …but they are being deceived if they think the Republicans are on their side as the Republicans are putting a Bill proposal through the House that will slash support for rural farming communities:

Anything to lessen the taxes on the super rich and the rural minority is just so gullible because they "REALLY LISTEN TO CONSERVATIVE MEDIA ONLY."

Delay in court case whilst Supreme Court decide if Trump had immunity because he was President. Possible that may not start again until after election - when Trump could be President again and call a halt to all proceedings.

It is really important to him personally that he becomes President again.

The Blue team have continued to unintentionally do everything possible to ensure Trump wins in the next election.

Good job ya goofballs.
There are two choices, stand up for the rule of law or ignore it...

Putin is praying every night for a Trump win

When your judges are political, you know your Country is ****ed.
The US is classified in the World Democratic index as "Flawed Democracy".

Another Trump term is a serious threat not just to the US but to global security.
