Well, I suppose I ought to offer my socialist boogieman under the bed some food he's probably hungry and perhaps it will help him grow big and strong.

Idk a socialist is strong because we will help each other, and capitalism encourages everyone out to be out for themselves at all costs and a nasty level of greed, which is not great for social animals.

So based on the above ? am Wondering at , [ WHAT IS THE TIPPING POINT] ....and what might that Look like ?
if it Was ?

If current trends continue then you have a return to a feudal type system where the elite rich run the government and treat defence forces as their own private army. I think Plato predicted this cycle would end and return to this form of government.

if there is environmental catastrophe in 20-30 years time (pandemic, global warming, nuclear holocaust, pollution, take your pick) then the elite will be living in walled off trump towers or underground bunkers and those who can afford will live inside megadomes while the rest of humanity will be fending for themselves in an open air favelas with crime and armed gangs.

And what happens to us as the percentages get worse ...?, given past experience with this particular Felonious
Ex- President ...
Think promises to the working class, and as the US is/ has always had a Wartime based economy of some sort .
Historically . Trump would very possibly make a War about something . .With the appearances of sort of justifications,
that do not make sense or cannot be verified by normal people.
This will put more people back to work in the support of the Military Industrial Complex . And any support Industries.
And clamp down on US citizens whom do not , Have the right associations . Hopefully ,he will not make it against the
law to be disabled in anyway .

With the justice system stacked, the police state is about to kick into gear.
Now that the president has immunity for political persecution we can expect the "Make Russia Great Again" campaign, should it gain office, to tip the USA into fascism.
My sympathies to the half of Americans about to become a repressed minority.

If the plaque at the top of the Empire State Building is correct and USA are "defenders of the world", perhaps the rest of the world should get a vote for the top job too.

The rest of the planet can see Trump for who he is.
The bully who shouts loudest that he did a good job despite conflicting evidence.
The player who attacks the man, not the ball.
Someone with no compunction about destroying democracy for personal power.

I just don't understand the Republican party's willingness to ignore his obvious untruths and bias, and compromise the party's stated goals.
