DJT - The Comeback Kid from NY

Four years ago, Donald Trump’s promising political career ended in defeat, disgrace, and condemnation from his own party, much of it his own doing. His attempt to overturn the result of the 2020 election was a “disgraceful dereliction of duty”, said Mitch McConnell.
Today, Democrats are scratching their heads in collective disbelief wondering how did this happen?

Friends, I shared this piece on the forum, but perhaps you may have missed it.

Blame it on macho Latino men, and white women not prepared to give up the white male patriarchy, even if all their rights are slowly being taken away.

Remember, whether they like it (grabs by pu-cy) or not, he was going to be their great protector. Who could ask for more?

From the end of Slavery to now, almost 160 years later, white women know they are still placed on a pedestal compared to other women no matter how brilliant and educated those other women are compared to them. So between a very qualified Black-Asian woman and an obnoxious white male American, they will always choose the white male.

As for what is now called adjacent White Latino men, they chose to go for the white male.
Some day, by some kind of osmosis, they hope to be seen as white.

Latinos in America are something like two-thirds European by ancestry. But even if they weren't largely European, why wouldn't they politically and culturally gravitate toward American whites, the richest and most productive people in history?

with innovative,the scientific as well well its enjoyable simplicity in lifestyle.

You have been blessed and hope that your mission was successful. Glad to have you back too.

Casper, one critical issue decided this election. It crossed all racial lines, all ethnic lines, all gender lines - the cost of living. People were not able to pay their bills and the Democrats are talking about LGBT and abortion rights when the issue is dollars and sense (pun intended).

The narrative since 2016 was that his supporters are uneducated; are white racists and bigots. The results of the 2024 election throw all of that out the window.

The richest and most productive people in history! A discussion topic that.... with many perspectives , views and opinions as to its veracity.

Post Columbus era expansion , Europe set out to plunder the world , steal its resources , decimate/ enslave indigenous populations and a list of
collective humanitarian crimes over the centuries to attain those productive goals u suggest. Parasitic relationships were established some of which remain to this modern day


The history of rich and productive societies did not begin with Europe's escape from it's aptly named "dark ages".

In reply to hubert

Thank you, my brother. Yes Japan was really an eye-opener, the deep respect they have for civility. Visited Hiroshima and was blown away with what I saw. It’s one of the most industrialized cities in the world.

Japan - next level

In reply to Master_Blaster

From a Western perspective, Japan is decidely monoracial and monocultural. Do you think its intellectual elites look to America or Europe and take the lesson that it would be wise to import tens of millions of brown and black people from poor countries? Aren't their immigration laws very strict? Of course, there's also the language barrier. East Asian languages have the reputation of being very hard to learn.

Some imports are better than others:

Western ideas and production methods built the modern world and in conjunction with the exploitation of hydrocarbons (both for energy and plastics) really underpin the massive expansion of human populations and wealth of the past 500 years.

As we reflect on the question of whether one mineral or discovery has shaped the modern world, it becomes evident that the answer lies in the rich tapestry of human history. Each mineral unearthed, each technique developed, and each idea exchanged has contributed to the intricate design of our contemporary society. A dynamic environment where advancements are not limited to a single story but rather a collective journey that is constantly changing has been created by the interaction of cultures, knowledge sharing, and the collaborative spirit of discovery.

Ideas and production techniques from many cultures and races have come together to shape the modern world.
It is a tapestry made from the strands of many culturally disparate concepts and approaches.
Every contribution has been essential in forming our contemporary social structures, scientific discoveries, and international relations.
