I’m saying Americans will elect women for CONGRESS, but many of them still don’t feel good about a woman PRESIDENT. I don’t really care if you believe that or not.

ROFL

Trump didn’t prevent civil war. Think back to what happened after the Jan 6 insurrection. When they failed to stop Biden’s certification by valiantly committing minor vandalism and taking selfies, MAGA ominously promised that vague “actions” would occur in state capitals on his inauguration day. That day came and went, and the few “actions” that even happened had attendance in the dozens - mostly pathetic loners holding cardboard signs in the rain. The fired-up revolutionaries saw their freedom-fighting heroes methodically tracked down by the FBI and arrested, so instead of a civil war uprising they stayed home and posted angy tirades on Parler.

Contrast this with any real cause, like the BLM marches, which saw thousands of people show up week after week, in city after city, in spite of police beatdowns, arrests, and even some deaths. The difference is personal commitment. MAGAs are great at making loud noises, but when they’re faced with the prospect of individual risk, most of them just hide in their freedom bunkers and shake their tiny fists at the TV. That bunch of blowhards will stock up on survival rations and tactical desert boots, but they couldn’t civil war their way out of a Walmart.

IMO any American who wants to emigrate to Russia is welcome to become topsoil in Ukraine.

I checked out Canadian requirements. The first stage of screening asks your name, email and year of birth - which only goes back to 1970. So apparently I’m too old.

The US wants immigrants, MAGA doesn’t want immigrants. And I can fully understand anybody not wanting MAGAs. I wish they would evaporate off the face of the Earth.

I’ve looked into it, believe me. New Zealand too. My wife is too rooted to our house, and we have an adult daughter still living at home with medical problems that would probably disqualify her.

Yes there have been women in Congress for many years. In fact if you wanted to make that point better you could have referred to Jeannette Rankin, who was elected to the House of Representatives in 1916 and again in 1940. It’s not “incoherent” to point out the fact that many people are still against having a woman as President. When Hillary Clinton ran in 2016 it came up a lot. And don’t take my mention of it as agreement - I voted for Harris.

Harris tried to address our material conditions too, just different ones. At this point I think a major reason Harris failed is that she’s a woman and mainstream America still isn’t ready for that, amazingly.

Apparently Hitler had a dog. So maybe reexamine your beliefs if you think dogs are good judges of character lol.

That reminds me to rewatch Danger 5.

“Your mission… yada yada, and as always; Kill Hitler!”
