Difference is that in the US, people are armed to the teeth and a peaceful protect will quickly turn deadly.

Republicans don't care when there's a Republican in the White House. Then it's just God's will.

I know that a Canadian lawmaker offered to take Washington, Oregon and California as new provinces in response to Trump: https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/canadian-lawmaker-offers-take-washington-oregon-california-new-provinces/LPFT7I4AYBGCLHBKVOB2TIFQOQ/

Just FYI. Mette Frederiksen is a woman. And a much more competent leader than Donald Trump.

US stocks are incredibly expensive right now based on their earnings. If Trump messes up just slightly on the economy, the market will take a huge hit. To prop up the market and thereby his own ego, he's going to try to force Powell to lower interest rates even if it's not supported by the numbers.

He may or may not be successful. Good luck.

Didn't say he was. Just saying if he did such crazy things that even the crazies drop out, he could be removed. That's extremely hard in the US. You're basically stuck with the moron for four years.

And that's the problem with the US election system. In basically any other developed democracy, there are ways to call a new special election. The four years are often the max between elections, not the minimum.

If a new leader proves unpopular, you toss them out and install a new one.

Assuming you can sell the Tesla, doesn't that just mean that there are just as many people looking to buy a Tesla?

This is true. And right now, at least for the next two years, they have every bit of conceivable power there is. The President, the Senate, the House, the Supreme Court. There are no checks and balances of Donald Trump.

Assuming that they can sell their cars, doesn't that mean that there is an equal amount of buyers considering buying a Tesla?

America, you're not well, are you?

It's like the Democrats and the Democratic Party have vanished from the face of the earth since election day. Everyone and their mom are kissing the ring of the returning king. It's pretty shameful to watch.

While you are right, I think the person you're responding to was being sarcastic.

Yes, I'm pointing out what Democrats fail to understand about conservatives.

No, I'm the opposite. I'm saying I've lived among conservatives for a long time.

Nah, for Conservatives, raising a conservative voter begins at birth. I've lived in that culture for a very long time.

There needs to be a culture change in how Democrats and progressivea raise their children politically.

Conservatives raise their children to vote, every time. Local, state, national. Every time. They actually show up on election day and they vote even when they have to hold their noses and they don't like their candidate. Democrats find some excuse as to why their candidate is not worthy their vote and many stay home because they are mad about something in their own party.

That's how Republicans can win again and again even when they are a minority of the population.

Generally speaking, wealth is not built by working. It's built by investing. It's possible to have a relatively small salary and get relatively wealthy if you consistently live below your means and invest the surplus. Power of compounding.
