These days it is difficult to find that line. Especially when it moves like a bowling ball on a ship.
What other option is there? The greed, corruption and depravity is off the fucking charts.
Its that or take up arms.
What do you think data centers are all about? Baking the perfect peanutbutter cookie or keeping track of everything you do, every dollar you spend, everywhere you go, everyone you see, every word you say and potentially every thought you think.
If you dont submit, the Arab boogieman will get you.
The US does have more than two parties, but none of them can compete so for all intents and purposes it is just the two. They have a green party and a communist party and so on and so forth also.
The world is on a collision course to unavoidable conflict , and we in the west are tying our own hands and will pay for the mistake . Yet despite overwhelming odds western values will prevail . The enviroment demands it .
Yet where was the Republican Party in 1850 and again in 1870 ? and know I haven’t researched.
In 1850, the Republican Party did not exist; it was founded four years later in March 1854 in Ripon, Wisconsin. By 1870, during the Reconstruction era, the Republican Party was the ruling political party in the United States, controlling the presidency (under Ulysses S. Grant) and majorities in Congress while pushing for civil rights and the integration of the South.
The United States has more than two political parties legally and in terms of registration, though it operates as a de facto two-party system at the federal level. There are dozens of smaller or "third" parties across the country—with over 55 distinct ballot-qualified political parties registered in various states as of May 2026, including the Libertarian Party, Green Party, Constitution Party, and others.
Despite the existence of multiple parties, the federal government (Congress and the presidency) is dominated almost exclusively by the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. No third-party candidate has won a U.S. presidential election since the mid-19th century, largely due to the nation's single-member district, "winner-take-all" (or first-past-the-post) electoral system, which mathematically disadvantages smaller political movements (a concept known as Duverger's Law).
Yes , no shit Sherlock It is so obvious that I couldn’t waste the time conforming my opinion .

some of the experts are worried that it might have been better if the republicans had won the midterm election because there is now an increased probability of the republicans winning the 2028 election. 
There's always that. Especially since King Trump can't run.some of the experts are worried that it might have been better if the republicans had won the midterm election because there is now an increased probability of the republicans winning the 2028 election.
There’s still 24 months to go before that 2028 election, and a lot could happen, or not happen. If the current Potus just tries to throw his weight around without being even a little bit flexible with Congress and the Senate (& in turn the American voters), then time will tell. If the economy recovers or stabilizes over the next two years, voters may look past legislative gridlock. Conversely, if inflation, high prices, or international conflicts persist, the electorate is highly likely to penalize the party associated with the White House, regardless of who is cooperating with whom.some of the experts are worried that it might have been better if the republicans had won the midterm election because there is now an increased probability of the republicans winning the 2028 election.
Conversely, if Trump just veto’s everything, rather than being punished for gridlock, the Republican nominee in 2028 could attempt to flip the narrative. They may argue that an uncooperative, Democratic-led Congress blocked necessary relief for ordinary citizens, shifting the blame for government inefficiency away from the GOP.
Carney in Canada was able to come in on the heels of three terms of Justin Trudeau and get elected…so perhaps the next republican presidential candidate can escape the Trump stank and somehow managed to distance themselves (which I think would be very difficult for anybody in Trump’s cabinet) from the current administration to establish a distinct political identity and potentially distance themselves from the seemingly inevitable executive-legislative gridlock in Washington.
Figures tied heavily to Trump’s inner circle—such as Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio—have reportedly emerged tainted due to the electoral fallout from the highly unpopular war in Iran and the rising cost of living. Senator Ted Cruz is facing internal blame for driving interventionist policies that harmed the Republican vote, forcing the party to consider whether a radical departure from Trump's circle is required.
I just the big question is going to be can Trump bend, even a little bit to appear that he’s somewhat in touch with the voters in order to handpick his successor, or will he remain toxic to all except for the hardcore MAGA base? If he’s stuck on vanity projects for his legacy for the next two years like this arch or ballroom or helipad or Corinthian columns, etc…I believe he’s gonna flush that chance right down the toilet.
You do of course realize that Trump is not hated nearly as much south of the border . You also realize that the vote totals for Republicans were similar this election to the numbers from 2012 . Some how Democrat numbers soared . Trump and Republicans didn’t lose nearly as much as you may think . Do you think more legislation will be passed with Democrats holding majorities in both houses of congress ?
‘Trump has cost us’: After midterm losses, MAGA asks if it’s over — Reuters
As Republicans faced a nationwide drubbing in Tuesday’s midterm elections, supporters streamed out of a Dallas ballroom where they’d hoped to toast a win for US Senate candidate Ken Paxton, a favorite of President Donald Trump.
Let’s see what the next 24 months brings.
