    I have to admit that I am sort of embracing the idea myself. It is bound to be hillarious watching the very media outlets responsible for putting him into office explaining -- all the damn time -- what Joe MEANT to say or was actually TRYING to say. THE SOTU speech should be . . . awesome.

    "Cultural Marxist" is code for dysfunctional young adult misfit, born to privilege in a family lacking religion and purpose, and probably has parents who drink too much and read The Guardian, or just don't give a sh!t. Bored out of their cotton picking minds, lacking solid hobbies, lacking purpose, desperately seeking the validation their parents should have given them, and completely without context for real struggle.
    They're the modern version of the shiftless fop, making mischief amongst his fellow aristocrats in his desperation for texture.

    The great news is that they're about as Communist as Donald Trump. These kids are about the most capitalist of all young people, depending entirely upon the immense wealth and safety nets afforded by the capitalist democracies they're born to. Most conservatives are less capitalist, at least in as much as they understand that it's very unfair to burden their fellow workers by being a slacker.

    Humpty is a slow learner and should avoid walls.

    Except for the part where that is one thing they check for, you're right. ;)

    I don't think there is a divide, if there is, it is because they choose to create a divide. A person's character nor intelligence is dictated by location.

    I know boatloads of democrats. None of them support this ****. Most Americans are patriots. The fringe loons are on the fringe for a reason.

    There really are lots of great metaphors in that old song, so pertinent to Trump. Imagine the series of short pointy TV ads you could come up with. You could change the characters with the "King's men" on a daily basis. Even the reference to King is spot on, as Trump believes he is a King. The Wall. Of course, that stands to the 400 mile wall at the Mexican border. Humpty Trumpty falls of that wall.

    Did you know, that someone can align with a party, but completely disagree with someone in the party? True story.

    Believe it or not, some of us can still think for ourselves - trump was NEVER a republican! He's a freak, fraud, idiot, and a sonofabitch. I'm far from the only republican that feels this way.

    Tucker Carlson is ignoring the election and doing sort of a "This is your life," love letter to Trump. LOL

    You don't think there is a divide by looking at the counties/cities in all states across the country? It's blatantly obvious to anyone paying attention. Trump wins rural/farm areas, Biden wins urban/cities.

    I couldn't disagree more actually. there's more to life than money, something perhaps that Americans are just beginning to come to terms with. Who knows

    But that's a conversation for another day

    Well, perhaps instead of assuming, you could look into it.

    In Georgia, it's two people, one D one R, looking at EVERY mail in ballot to rule for validity.

    Assuming every day Americans are mostly cheats and liars is about as pessimistic as you can get.

    I’ve found that farmers are more conservative. Don’t know why.

    How could you not be charmed by that debonair grin?

    His eyes, on the other hand, seem locked in the squint of lining up a rifle shot.

    ~ There is serious doubt this happens in every state.
    ~ They mostly seem to be on Capitol Hill ...

    ~ Today it's " What can I do to my country? "
    The USA is slowly but surely falling into the "New World Order" Papa Bush told us it would. :blankstare:

    These are very sweeping generalisations.

    This election has made me realize that our negative outlook is, in no small part, a result of semantics:

    we're not divided; we're diverse!

    ~ I find it curiously suspicious that these late vote count delays happen in Democrat governed states with close margins .

    They'll have to keep him off television as much as possible. How will he ever negotiate with global leaders without some kind of sidekick to speak for the U.S.?

    Perhaps they should just consider a hologram image with a voice over that sounds like his voice a few years back before his brain started to deteriorate.
