2020-05-18: What a difference a couple of months can make! Now Biden v Trump is set and the pandemic has acted as a light turned on to illuminate globally what was only partially clear before. Looked at the 538 site and an article where it is wondering why people think Trump will win. They seem incapable of grasping that people would let Trump have another four years even if the best that can be said for Biden is that the claims of his assault accuser are probably false because she is a liar. That and he's not Trump. So naturally people think, and they are likely right that Trump's energized and now detached (from the formerly restraining GOP establishment) dead end coalition will prevail as a result of gerrymandering, an energized base and the opposite of that on the not even pseudo left party of Obama and the Clintons. So things have come full circle and the alternation I mentioned at the start last Bastille day is now the present locked in lesser evil rerun that will be forced in November. In fact an unforeseen possibility now looms of a Trump reelection with Democrats taking the Senate but not by enough to swing a second impeachment. | 2020-05-18: What a difference a couple of months can make!

Thoughts below and at my </html>[[:en:User:Lycurgus|<font color=gold>User Page</font>]]<html> are speculation¹. Ofc I don't expect anything to come of such thinking, it is far removed from the more likely outcomes referred to above. America (i.e. los Estados Unidos) unfortunately appears locked in a culture of mass ignorance and backwardness which only seems to flip between too little too late and not even wrong, more violently the more heated the friction between global secular progress and local parochial recidivism becomes. A big part of this I think is that the supposed left, isn't really in fact a left at all, except in formal opposition to it's Sith moeity over a base of shared values. As constructs of they can hardly be any threat to the established order. I think the Bill and Melindas ² understand this and for this reason are largely unconcerned about actual revolutionary change such as occurred in Russia or France, assured an Obama or a Trump is as much of an actual revolution as the consuming masses will try or buy. | |||
