As the collapse continues....

[Toddsterpatriot]

One person, empowered by his enablers and sycophants, has managed to (a) throw the world economy into chaos with his bizarre, wildly erratic tariff gambit, (b) throw global geopolitics into a tailspin with his soft-handed approach to an aggressive Russian tyrant and pugilistic behaviors towards America's former friends, and (c) put America itself on the edge of social collapse by openly taking sides in its most sensitive sociological/cultural moment in decades, and (d) inspire one of the great religions of the world to sell its soul to a person who is essentially the opposite of the deity it claims to follow.

One person has created a chaos most of us have never seen, because he has been allowed to.

That's because this has never been about that one person. This is about a country that is so sick and manipulable that it has allowed its priorities to become entirely perverted. Bad enough that this would happen to ANY country. But the most important, dynamic country in the world? It's still a little difficult to digest.

As this collapse continues, does anyone have any guesses as to what this country looks like in 20 years?

Chaos Theory Meets Trump: Why America’s Institutions and Psyche Are Under Siege

with his soft-handed approach to an aggressive Russian tyrant

The 1980s called, they want their foreign policy back.

Joe said a minor incursion is okay.

What they don't understand, what they'll never understand, is that this is not about Trump, and never has been.

I've said it a hundred times over these years, and I specifically discussed it in the OP.

I think that, at some level, they may know. But they have not been provided a response.

Good morning Cheese. If "Not about Trump"? Then who is the one person who destroyed the world you talk about on the OP?

 

[berg80]

No, the hate, division, seething rage started years ago by

...........the emergence of conservative talk radio, the proliferation of radicalized on line media sources competing for eyeballs, and perhaps most importantly..........Faux News.

I made this clear in the OP. But it went over your head. As usual.

Good morning.

Joe Biden was a real president and conducted his office respectably.

You can speak for yourself, I'm definetly not enjoying economic, social and foreign policy mayhem along with corrupt polticization of our fed government at every level.

Sickest Marxist poster of SEPT winner, hands-down. Unbelievably pathetic diseased rot. Unanimous.

One person, empowered by his enablers and sycophants, has managed to...

You must be referring to the Republican Party...

I did not vote for the Orange Man myself but he got re-elected because the Democrats had screwed things up so badly...

...(a) throw the world economy into chaos with his bizarre, wildly erratic tariff gambit...

Yep... it's a mess... but we've been suffering under such a global Trade Imbalance that SOMETHING had to be done...

I see very little rhyme or reason or intelligence in what is happening but at least our trading partners realize we've re-awakened...

Where that takes us... God knows... but... to make omelettes ya gotta break a few eggs... and bold strokes seem necessary...

Whether THESE "bold strokes" are the answer or not remains to be seen... this takes time... we may not know for some time yet...

...(b) throw global geopolitics into a tailspin with his soft-handed approach to an aggressive Russian tyrant and pugilistic behaviors towards America's former friends...

Yes and No... I, too, have cringed as he's toyed with alliances, but, as you look at it objectively, he HAS gotten NATO to commit to spending 5% of GDP on Defense... and he's caused the Euros to realize that they have to toughen-up and do more for themselves...

Given that Western Europe has been crouching under the American Shield for the past 80 years, to our own very great expense with very little in return, in the long run, that may not prove to be such a bad thing, after all... time will give us that answer...

...and (c) put America itself on the edge of social collapse by openly taking sides in its most sensitive sociological/cultural moment in decades...

America was ALREADY in a kind of collapse and war with itself thanks to LibProgs shoving their agenda and policies down America's throat for decades...

The Orange Man was brought-in by what remains of Normal, Sane America, to "push back" on this one-sided Culture War and to start hammering at LibProg policies and their culturally-suicidal outcomes...

Rather than being on the edge of Social Collapse, it may very well be that Liberal Rot has been checked and is now receding...

If true, then the "thing" was caught just-in-time... a close-call... a near-run thing.. and could not have come a moment too soon...

...and (d) inspire one of the great religions of the world to sell its soul to a person who is essentially the opposite of the deity it claims to follow...

What religion is that?

,,,One person has created a chaos most of us have never seen, because he has been allowed to...

Liberals are now, at long-last, experiencing a long-overdue their F.A.F.O. moment...

They have had the run-of-the-thing all to themselves for decades and now fun-time's over...

The grown-ups are back in power and now in the process of pressing the Reset Button to re-acquire National Sanity...

If that means a little Chaos in the meantime them so be it...

...That's because this has never been about that one person. This is about a country that is so sick and manipulable that it has allowed its priorities to become entirely perverted. Bad enough that this would happen to ANY country. But the most important, dynamic country in the world? It's still a little difficult to digest...

That's ONE way to look at it.

Another way is the country had ALREADY become so sick and manipulatable that this pressing of the Reset Button had become necessary...

...As this collapse continues, does anyone have any guesses as to what this country looks like in 20 years?

a. It is not collapsing... it is returning to sanity and re-binding

b. Twenty years from now it will be a vastly safer, saner place that it has been during Democratic Party control...

 

[Mac1958]

You wrote the post I was going to write for me. When chaos is created in steps the strongman to instill a sense of order. The irony being it's always the strongman creating the chaos.

One long, ongoing history lesson. Now we know, first hand.

Historians (you know, people that write history) disagree with your silly assessment, rank Biden's term as a respectable presidency, while ranking Trump among the worst presidencies we've ever had. This was true across ideological spectrum of the historians.
Conservatives rated Biden No. 30, while liberals put him 13th and moderates ranked him 20th. All three of those same groups ranked Trump, whose presidency was marked by his flouting of historical norms, in the bottom five.
Twice impeached, 4 times criminally indicted felon named Trump will be gone soon enough and once again leave a dumpster fire behind as the net-sum of his legacy.

Real historians wait until the history happens before writing about it.
Trump's "felonies" will be overturned, Biden left the dumpster fire, his 25% right-track is about half of Trump's current 50%.
Trump's story is still unfolding:

Trump's 2016 presidency was a miracle in itself, the biggest upset in US election history. Hillary and the DNC actually colluded with and paid Russians for "dirt" on Trump, aka the "Steele Dossier". Obama used the power of the DOJ, FBI, CIA and other Federal agencies to illegally spy on and setup Trump for failure. FBI operations Crossfire Hurricane and Razor, the Mueller Investigation, Russian Collusion Hoax, the MSM's constant 95% negative coverage and "fake news", Never-Trump Republicans, the Lincoln Project, globalists of every stripe, the entrenched Deep State who all oppose Trump's policies, the planted leakers and whistle-blowers, and the RINOs who'd rather shill for K-Street than work for main street. Then add to all of that the outright hatred shown by the House democrats toward Trump, to the point of "non-crime" Impeachment Articles, twice!!
Then during the 2020 election the high-tech oligarchs (Twitter & Facebook), et.al. colluded with the FBI to cover-up the Biden crimes and buy the election; google “Zuckerbucks” as an example. Not even investigating why 2020 had about 30m more votes than expected. Trump got 10m more votes in 2020 than in 2016 and lost?? Biden got 81m votes my ass. When Elon Musk bought Twitter the truth came out. Now the Soros DA in NYC is indicting Trump for a non-crime. The Durham Report confirms that the FBI & DOJ are NOT upholding the LAWs of the United States, the US is on the verge of becoming a Fascist state, especially now since Trump was indicted for mishandling “classified” documents and the Biden crimes are being covered up, including cocaine in the WH.
Trump was re-elected in 2024, even after the democrats used “law fare” to convict Trump on 94 felonies, which legal experts said would be overturned on appeal. Then Trump survived two assassination attempts. Voters soundly rejected the democrats in 2024. Trump’s 50% right track roughly doubled Biden’s 25% right track.

Well, both the Dems and Reps did this.

But didn't destroy the world, only those parts with oil.

Once we went into the middle east, we have found it is not easy to extract oneself as it was to go in. Trillions of dollars spent now. In Europe we have expanded NATO and that is dangerous. We are turning once Russian spheres of influence into our responsibility. And that means our money. To me, if the West is providing weapons and materials to Ukraine then technically, they are at WAR with Russia.

Yep. Leftists are always looking for the worst. They spend their every waking moment waiting for the sky to come crashing down on them.
