I use comcast as an internet service provider because they are the only option available to me, that doesnt mean I "respect" them... comcast can go **** themselves imo.

    Ultimately, Elon is a businessman who has a huge financial interest in disrupting the fossil fuel industry... its no surprise that his statements on the topic would reflect that.
    I hear ya.

    I like Elon and I meant respect for the engineering behind the cars at least. He does have an interest in disrupting the fossil fuel system but he pushed back on the COVID nonsense and the plebes (of which ISH have many) can't put the "you hate science" trope on him.

    So... anyways... let's just split. The dems can do their thing, and the repubs can do their thing. Our political system is a shit show and I'm just over it.

    I know which side will thrive financially and socially regardless of where resources lie. It's just a cold hard fact. Deep in their hearts, everyone else knows too. Reality is a ruthless, heartless bitch. I will happily take the retards on the right with me, of which there are many, if it means I can be rid of the retards on the left. HAPPILY.
    I understand both sides , and I laugh at where we are.... I have seen far more presidents than any of you.
    Trump had an agenda , and that was to not unit our country like Ronald Reagan , but to divide it.
    Cvd19 helped , in ways he never imagined , but the MN death was cream on the cake for him. Remember he is backed by KKK and white supremacists.
    I am going to rid all aliens from our country , so he purposely divides families that have crossed the border.
    The failure was his wall is only a 1/3 of the actual border .... (don't you think people that have walked 1500 miles , could not walk around the wall)
    He is the biggest shyster probably this country has ever seen.
    I loved it when he was backed by his coal tycoons for the 2016 election , and there sitting in the front seats , when he declares loosing emissions will
    occur , because we don't have global warming and pollution.

    Yep Make America Great AGAIN

    Our country has broken laws , and our government is using it to their advantage.
    People backing Trump think they are rebellion to our society , they are fueling the crap that Trump has created.
    Opening the country for the economy has failed...
    Here is my take , if Trump would of closed the borders of our country , for 3-5 months and states would closed their borders
    we might of been way ahead of the CVD19 crap....
    Instead we have the highest spike in the world as we speak....
    The government is supposed to protect and guide the people of this country...
    Right now it looks like a free for all wrestling match on WWE..

    I have always wished a third party would be as strong as the Republicans and Democrats....
    Republicans support the rich
    Democrats supposedly support the middle and poor.

    Fact is they only support them selves and their soft money.
    Sorry for the rant.

    Why be sorry? It's good to hear the perspective of older posters.

    I have no problem with splitting the country although the normal people would have to build a wall rather quickly to keep the batshit crazy leftist in their half. Given most of the workforce would be in the right leaning section the other side would implode rather quickly making a wall a VERY high priority.

    LOL. You're acting like the political scene being a shit-show is new for America. Its as much a shit-show now as it was when Hamilton and Jefferson were lobbing virtual nukes at each other in competing partisan newspapers/pamphlets. Now there's just ads for boner pills and pickup trucks included with your political bullshit.

    You guys fighting this left/right liberal/conservative war are just...lol

    Nice idea in theory but it wouldn't work. The liberal country would be broke and lawless, with a few heavily protected areas where the rich liberals live like overlords.

    They would be clamoring to get into the conservative country. Think of how people leave California to move to Texas, Colorado, Arizona, etc, and multiply that x100.

    The Democrats have for years relied on white urban liberals and urban minorities and completely overlooked rural America. Fact is there are a lot of rural folk who lean right simply because the right have been the only ones who pay any attention to them. Hillary wrote them off as stupid rednecks and look where that got her. Had she taken the time to listen to them and address their concerns she would have seen that a lot of these people are amenable to many democratic policies. There are a lot more minorities living in rural areas than ever before too. If Hillary had jus...no actually she still would've lost because she's a biitch, but Biden might make headway.

    Glad to see others looking at history of our country.

    What gets me is that those red neck people some refer to think the republican party thinks of them...
    They are dirt shit in the government world ... red necks have no money and will continue to never have money , but repub's
    like them to vote for them LOL
    Trump opened up a can of worms and know we the people have a can of beans poured over our heads looking like the clowns we are.
