    The election was between two brands of fascism, so fascism did not lose.

    A man widely acknowledged to be a criminal has just won the White House with lots of approval and congratulations. Now we will see how cards will be played to actually legitimize his criminal behavior, within a system that is already massively corrupt.

    Trump won because Harris presented as a psyche ward patient, not because Trump was fighting fascism. The swamp will continue to grow, and Trump will be a catalyst for that expansion.

    Nice guys finish last. A bit click baitish, sure, but in truth, I want a bit of an a$$hole representing us at a negotiation with an openly hostile country.

    False. Fascism was on the side of the left and has been for awhile

    America chose freedom, prosperity, and unity this election. 1

    If this ever happened, I'd get on my knees in praise to a god I don't believe in for the good tidings. I'm sooo. Sick. Of. This. Topic. I. Could. Screeeeam.

    The U.S. is the premier openly hostile country. The U.S. has provoked other countries to militarize, even to the point of developing nukes so as to not be the next Iraq, Vietnam, or Afghanistan. The U.S. creates fights so the plutocrats can profit from them. The U.S. does not even try to win them anymore, but just prolong them.

    The U.S. is in about the safest geo-political place it could be in. It has military bases, ships, and subs peppered all over the world. There is no need to be even a little bit of a butthole.

    A president with backbone is quite enough. Maybe that is what you actually mean?

    An agreeable personality will not accomplish much at the negotiation table.

    Disagreeable personalities do far better.

    You can be disagreeable to a point its no longer profitable. But you definitely want a disagreeable person at the table.

    Fascism is having more people in prison than any nation in human history. Fascism is having a militarized police force with qualified immunity. Fascism is when patriotism has been perverted into a cult, where kids are made to say nationalistic pledges in school. Fascism is when your national wealth is founded upon war and war industry and you can count the years of your country's peace times on two hands despite near 250 years of existence. These things are neither left nor right. They are American and they are fascist.

    That's merely a fascistic slogan. None of those things were in any way related to this election....not in a positive sense.

    As an outlier, abortion might have been though, for a minority of American fascists who care so little about freedom they are happy to foist the full burden of motherhood on a teenage girl, within an anti-sex culture that fails to provide anything remotely resembling a decent sex education, and starts when its much too late.

    This depends largely on the people at the table. If everyone is agreeable, they get things resolved for the long term. If just one is disagreeable, unnecessary tensions never go away.

    Once humanity learns how to spot the sociopaths and psychopaths esp, (the most disagreeable people in existence), and remove them from all politics, humanity will get along much better. If we don't, its going to get us all killed.

    Thats not true at all, those aren't even close to a proper definition, nor is any of it relevant and most of it isn't even true. The cult is in the hate of a single man, and thats coming from the left. Pledges in school is fascism? Again, you aren't making any sense. Trump got us out of wars, dems started getting us in 2x more lol. Again, you are wrong.

    They chose the better candidate. The anti war, pro capitalist, pro prosperity candidate. Abortion isn't an issue at all. Thats not on the minds of most Americans. Be responsible with your sex.

    It doesnt.

    An agreeable person loses the discussion to a disagreeable person, every time. So getting a disagreeable person is the way to go. And the claim that an agreeable person will create long term positive change just has no evidence to support it. Its just a random belief devoid of fact.

    There is no one "the cult". There are many. Yes that is one. But so is a huge chunk of American faux patriotism.

    Yeah. The Bellamy salute was abandoned because people were catching on. The secret to American fascism is pretending its on the level. Its not. Normal countries don't do this. I can't think of another country doing it. But I bet North Korea does.

    Dems and Republicans don't decide, not even at the federal level. The plutocrats decide. The rest is theater. Bush got us into Afghanistan and Iraq right? (actually no). Did Obama get us out? NO. They were puppets. Trump does nothing major without permission, same as the others.

    They chose the only remotely sane option from two insane options.

    Under Trump the Gaza genocide will continue thanks to the sale of American bombs. Even the most ardent American anti-abortionists will not care how many pregnant women and their fetuses get blasted into four corners of the room they were sitting in.

    American jobs will continue to float overseas. We will get tax cuts for the rich again. Yeah, that is wonderful capitalism for a lucky few.

    Americans largely support abortion rights, so all this would be resolved in a jiffy in a REAL democracy. But that is not remotely what America has. Abortion squabbles are a great distraction from all of what is really happening. The plutocrats, through Trump, will ensure the debates keep going on and on and the will of the people does not solidify into clear action.

    Americans CANNOT be sexually responsible because they are not being taught to be. There is no magic here. You either teach and train people to be sexually responsible while also being active and satisfied, or, they muck it up horribly. Well the fundies insist Americans muck it up horribly. The plutocrats buoy them.

    The only aspect of the abortion mess that is going to get solved is that native born Americans are going to continue to just fail to couple at all, so they won't need the abortions. So here is looking forward to many more years of Americans being uptight, angry, unsatisfied, unmotivated, down-trodden, demoralized louts.

    If we got into a war of posting the science on that, I concede, you would win.

    But what I don't think you understand is that most of that sort of science is created out of nothing to secure grant money, and the more sensationalist stuff is publicized to get clicks.

    Sometimes you have to fall back on common sense and simple logic. Disagreeability will only get a person so far. Nine of ten agreeable housewives agree....their disagreeable hubby may threaten to turn the car around...but he never does.

    It's common sense that an agreeable person wouldn't hold up. Common sense and the science here are not at odds.

    It depends. Women lose in the western corporate and political arenas. They win in the home and the divorce courts. They also taking over the colleges and most medical practice.

    In case you don't know why I say this, men are largely disagreeable and women are largely agreeable. Its really not as simple as looking at it as a game of rock, paper, scissors and declaring "Good old rock! Nothing beats that!"

    They win in divorce courts because we give them far more benefit of the doubt as default. That's an arbitrary standards that is separate from anything to do with personalities. But a disagreeable female will get more from those courts than an agreeable one.

    They take over colleges because men aren't being catered to like them. They take over medical practices because they have far more care taker tendencies while men tend to like things over people.

    No one suggested any rock paper scissor nonsense. It's just objectively true that disagreeable people go further than agreeable people under the same circumstances.

    That assessment hinges entirely on your opinion of what "go further" means, and its obviously a disagreeable male take on the subject.

    Going further doesn't have a vast interpretation in this context. I stand by my claim. It's objectively true.

    Okay. My simple advice is that you don't go jogging with a pack of lemmings. If you do, you may go further than you intended.

    Pure nonsense. Seems like he's been clear the abortion was returned to the states.
