A possible scenario of the next 2 years

You seem to agree with his policies especially the ones concerning voting.
I've no idea about policies. I just like the comedy value of the clown and his miserable widow-in-waiting Melania.

Trump lost and did not concede. Trump encouraged insurrection.
There was no insurrection. If you want to get into the issue of anti-government violence, all that you have to do is look at BLM and Antifa. Where they violently attacked federal buildings and historical monuments. The FBI essentially ignored them. Yet when the Republicans protest, the FBI considers that a threat. That is unequal justice. Maxine Water, a member of Congress, came very close to inciting violence by demanding that people get in the face of Republican and push them out. That is not upholding the concepts of democracy.

Democrats routinely challenge elections, so there is nothing wrong if Republicans do. Stacy Abrams as one example. Time Magazine (Feb. 4, 2021) even ran an article gloating how the left tilted the election in favor of Biden.

PS: The New York Times published an article, that is behind its paywall, "F.B.I. Had Informants in Proud Boys, Court Papers Suggest". As an alternative: Business Insider reports: "FBI may have had up to 8 informants in Proud Boys around the time of the January 6 riot, The New York Times reported". This raises the possiblity that the so-called "insurrection" was actually a false flag operation orchestrated by the Democrats.

Hmm, you said all that as if it were true. No references or evidence. Just hearsay, gossip, speculation or fantasy. The American dream.
Don't stress, your hearthrob will get in, then you can moan on about his corrupt administration.

What you don't understand is that in the UK, we have very little information about the intricacies and intrigue of the USA government workings. The only name we have on our TV news is Joe Biden, and that is usually showing him sleeping in meetings or stumbling over some speech. Most people in the UK don't really care about US politics. We have never heard of the names that crop up on these forums.
For example, Elon Musk, I found out it isn't a new aftershave, I thought for ages he was a politician, to be honest, he might well be.for all I know.
Basically, what I'm saying, is that outside the white picket fence around the USA, nobody seems to care about all the stuff you ramble on about.

We have a massive cost of living crisis here, we are focused on whether we can afford the heating on or eating, or can we afford petrol for the car, basic food prices are rising quickly, we have 11% inflation now, expected to increase next year to 15%. As a pensioner I have to count out my allowance and hope that I have some left over at month end, I never go out for meals, they are very expensive, I buy cheap meat cuts past their date and make stew which lasts me 2 or 3 days. I dont buy newspapers, they are too expensive. I don't have any family to help, I live alone like many pensioners, I wear a coat and blanket indoors to save on heating costs. Yes i did have money, most of that has gone as I have to pay a contribution for the care home my wife is in, that takes a good percentage of my pension. I could go on, but I know you're not interested in the slightest. Why should you be? I'm outside the USA boundary so of no interest to Americans.

You want me to apologise to you? What for? The cardinal sin of not worshipping the USA and showing interest in USA politics?. I'd rather watch paint dry.

What the UK and most of the G20 are experiencing is known as The Great Reset. Pandemics, climate change, food, and fuel are being used to rebalance the world economy.
 
For accusing me of lying. You attacked me personally ---- Hmm, you said all that as if it were true ----- we don't do that here:(
I didn't mention you personally and I never called you a liar. It is possible to make comments as if they were true - or as I said, hearsay/rumour/ gossip. As there were no references where your information came from, my comment means it may be true what you said or not, who knows?

I know you hate me and want to ban me, but don't let paranoia cloud your thoughts, because it allows you to read things that aren't there.

If you really view a few hundred rogue people lightly armed, as having brought the country with the world's mightiest military literally to the brink of being overthrown, I just shake my head and wonder at that.

China declaring war on us, aided by North Korea and Russia, now that's bringing us to the brink.

I see any months-long occupancy of swaths of a major American city (Portland, etc) including total blocks of emergency vehicle and police, WITH the cooperation and sympathy of mayors and prosecutors............ as about 1000x more dangerous and closer to the brink of overthrow than a few hundred people on one given day smashing windows in an event so lightweight that the US military wasn't even involved , much less came close to being defeated.

Now, if you really want to challenge your self-honesty about this situation, do a little research on Al Sharpton's past, including the people who died as a direct result of him repeatedly inciting violence. If you know the story you then realize why conservatives anyone with any character was disgusted when Obama began having meetings with a person like this - and why the liberals still dote on him.

The truth is, people say dangerous words all the time, any of which can be used to resort to violence. The question is whether we cherry pick one of them to prosecute - and if so, why.

Paranoia is an interesting thing. It is often brought about by hyper-vigilance, which leads a person to notice more things than they normally had/would. What this ends up meaning is that usually they aren't seeing or hearing things that aren't there (as others believe); rather, their brains are simply maintaining a larger inventory of things - i.e., the brain is working better and at higher volume. However, because the brain didn't always do that, it means that the question "Why is that car following me behind 3 separate turns?" will now lead to a different logical conclusion than it WOULD have IF the person had ALWAYS noticed that "many cars normally follow me behind 3 separate turns".

Thus paranoid people usually aren't imagining anything untrue. They're noticing things for the first time, and, absent a previous comparison, believe the those things are NEW to their experience, thus giving them the basis for making a conclusion that may not be best.

Most paranoia is based on a newly developed state of hyper vigilance. If the state of vigilance had remained constant over time since birth, the interpretation of events would have been different.
 
I said: 'encouraged insurrection.'

You heard:




'Lifelong Learner' in preach mode.
That's right. I heard the word insurrection, a ridiculous exaggerated term coined by a few people at the top and repeated countless times by gullible unthinking
 
Is a snarky remark and Implies that you think that what I said isn't true.
I have explained that earlier. You are entitled to your interpretation whether its right or wrong .
BTW, I like the word 'snarky', not one we use here I don't think. We may do but I've never heard it before. It may be a slang Americanism.

This scenario has actually been playing out for six years now. It is not because Trump can't handle defeat, but that the Democrats are fanatically consumed by Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). Just recently Biden made the pledge that he would use every "legitimate" means to persecute Trump. The word "legitimate", in this case, is a exceptionally subjective (to the point it is meaningless) as the Biden administration is implementing Lavrentiy Beria infamous "Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime."

Hillary is out of the picture forever. Trump is here and now. I don't understand why the two are always referred to together, if something negative is said about Trump.
Huh? They both ran for president just a few years ago. And they both might again.

Both of them have at least a touch if not more of the Stacey Abrams complex. Keep running for the rest of your life even if you lose every time
 
When Hillary ran, the Democrats had put up the only biped on the planet that would lose to Trump. Trump will keep running, and delaying. in hopes of getting Presidential immunity. Why would Hillary run? She can't beat anybody. Trump has been solidifying his base, and in the process he is losing moderates and even some Republicans. His strategy has only one winner-his bank account.

Somehow that seems very easy to assert in hindsight doesn't it? But somehow, tens of thousands of strategists actually thought she could win at the time or they wouldn't have supported her.

The fact that you think Trump is a terrible candidate, but the best thing the Democrats could come up with lost to him in 2016, and only in hindsight you claim she was actually the worst candidate and the only person who could lose to trump, do you see all those things as a convenient coincidence? Seems very unlikely doesn't it?

I think we all have some trouble seeing that our logic is biased sometimes
 
I didn't come up with that line. I got it from George Will, a Republican. Hillary was toting too much luggage, as it turns out, an I think that was what Will was referencing. It was a surprise that she lost. I agree with Mr. Wills statement.
 
So why not put it in quotes so people have a reference?
