I have thought over and over, WTF is going on here?

My answers, our politics , our beliefs are a big piece of our ego and especially super-ego. An attack on our politics is an attack on the deepest parts of ourselves. Think our where our beliefs come from, everything that affects our lives affects out beliefs. Crises that affect us turn us into Leftists or Rightists. One big one is if we are Haves or Have nots, whether we a winners or losers in the economy. Hidebound Leftists favor the tack that we take from the Haves and fire-distribute to the Have-nots. That violates a basic rule. “Thou Shall not steal.”

Another is access to power. This is a common thing for fence sitters, AKA independents or moderates. They are noted for switching sides depending on who is running things. The Bushes, Cheneys, are famous as well as Tulsi or RFK,Jr. IMHO, we are seeing a resetting of the spectrum location of both parties and a drift away from uniparty. The Deep State hates it and wants to kill the author of one side. Right now, 50% of the country is aligned, like your John, with the Deep State, which is extremist Left and Right. Both want the ascension of the State, everything else is secondary. The other 50% are aligned with folks that want the USA to stay as it was in the 1900s, strong, individualistic, and real. They are MAGA, not GOP. They are aligned with the Moderate right, people that want the State to keep their hands off everything, especially their money. The Deep State’s Prime Directive, thank you Star Trek, is preservation of the Deep State, to the detriment of the local issues, state issues, and most of all individual rights.

Clinton is an ass, now and always. She believes in the supremacy of the Deep State, period. The people be damned.

I wish to God that Trump would bolt on the Republican party and just go independent. Why he hasn't done that shocks me.

I wanna see that video of Hillary killing kids and drinking their blood. Apparently it's on the dark web somewhere, but I don't know how to access that kind of thing.

I fucking HATE, HATE, HATE Hillary Clinton. For too many reasons to list. If vigilante justice ever becomes legal, she is #1 on my hit-list.

No one ever liked HRC! Many Bill Clinton supporters didn’t like her either. A funny 1996 Weekend Update with Norm MacDonald reported that O.J. Simpson was endorsing Bill Clinton for president and that he offered that he would do anything to help him win. At that moment Norm quotes Bill saying, “Well, there is ONE thing…” and up comes HRC’s image on screen, haha. The audience laughter gives a good indication of what an ostensibly liberal audience of 1996 really thought of her. (It’s on yooootube somewhere) And it was justifiably downhill from there

I have wondered the same thing. Maybe because he has more friends in the Party than the big mouth RINOs. The RINOs will eventually leave the GOP as it dies and becomes MAGA.

Respectfully, I think you're a bit too hopeful.

Tee - I wouldn't mind being #1 on your list, but not that one. Anyway, the truth is, we live in a lawless country, Rule of Law is a joke. Look what they - fill in the blank - do so brazenly and with contempt for the law, and for us. I say vigilante justice is legal, and if HRC is ever within arm's reach, it's a good idea to remain vigilant.
