these people can't accept demographic change nor can they allow evolution. they must try to retain control and don't care how they do it. they use guns, abortion, race and religion as the bullet points of manipulation. they don't give 2 sh ts about any of those things but they know it can be used as a tool to con. that's basically it at a macro level.

i expected some sort of civil uprising in the next 2 or 3 generations but it looks like it's here now. "what's the worse that could happen?" when it comes to trump. well unless you are fully on board with everything going on, which i expect some here are, then you are seeing the destruction of the US.

Preach! I tell people all the time that racism is nothing but a con that the rich use to keep poor people’s focus off them and direct it towards other poor people of a different race or ethnicity. Our country is being forever changed for the worse. We have got to stop this divisive narrative that Trump is pushing. There is far more that connects us than divides us. We need to do better.

If we see heavy duty military equipment brought in to cordon the White House just before the election. That might be a tell that Trump isnt planning to go anywhere.

Guess we'll see what happens.

He is president until the inauguration should he lose. My hope is he is removed via article 25 should he decide to NOT transition as others before him. He can choose to not leave the White House, but that won’t make him president. He can live there. He will no longer be the chief in command.

Mitch McConnell could end all this with a few phone calls (25th amndmt). Job one for him is judges. I doubt he wants all this turmoil in the White House, just enough to get his judges rammed through. Not saying he feels this way, but he's reaching the point of diminishing returns IMO.Conservative judges but very little representation. All those kids protesting, getting the crap kicked out of them have parents who arent necessarily left wing. At least in some areas.

Im guessing McConnell would rather see a President Pence running against Biden than Trump. But does he have the cojones to make those calls?

The judges they are ramming thru are seedlings that they are planting to hold on to their privilege and power after they officially get kicked out of power....

McConnell and all of them are corrupt....and with Trump now they are on overdrive....this place is like a banana republic now....

I believe that the intensity of these protests are because of Trump...and this whole thing may culminate in a standoff that gets protesters killed on a large scale....I do not wish for that to happen, but if it does the reaction and subsequent actions will tell me who America is to my face...

All remaining vestiges of moral authority (often of which was in reality gross hypocrisy) the US was clinging to will be completely gone by the time this is over- everyone all over the world is seeing these images.

Who will be killed in large scale?
Protesters at day time or rioters and looters at night?
This will determine to me who America is.
