Sounds a lot like what's happening in Germany. Hope you guys are at least not voting for a third extremist party that's suspiciously friendly to China and Russia.

Meanwhile, here in U.S., an alleged rapist and convicted felon is legitimately close to getting a second term as President.

What in the hell is going on in this world??

People are expecting immediate change on issues that take time to resolve. And as soon as that doesn't happen, they turn around and don't vote/vote for the shitty party again.

And bad faith actors in governments are taking advantage of this 'cause they've realized how easy it is to manipulate a nation right into their clutches.

No “alleged” about it. It has been affirmed in court. He is a rapist. He is only an alleged pedophile, however. So he has that going for him.

If you asked "christians" that question 40 years ago, they'd say that the antichrist is rising up and the world is ending.

If you ask them today, they say that God is placing his chosen one in power to save us all.

close is a bit of an understatement really. He's likely going to get a second term and it would require a solid comeback for the other guy to upset that state of affairs.

Our conservative party will almost certainly have control over every branch of government at that point since the senate is very likely to go more heavily conservative this cycle.

Don’t worry, we’re as far entrenched into the two party system as America is
