So where do we go from here?
Well, first, since I'm writing this before the election let's cover what it means if Kamala won: It means democracy is over. Now don't you worry your pretty little retarded head, they'll still pretend to have elections, but the powers that be have proven that they can take a complete idiot whose entire political career was fabricated, fabricate them into an executive position, and despite nobody liking that politician somehow giving them the keys to the most powerful nation on Earth. It means Americans are so stupid they'll just do whatever they're told and it doesn't matter who runs or what they campaign on. Someone who failed catastrophically at every turn but was carried to the presidency on pure media bravado is not good for anyone. It will mean the machine has won. Mandatory celebrations shall soon commence. There will be adequate levels of glee.
Ok, now let's talk about a Trump win. I have faith in the American people. They can be unrefined at times, but Americans aren't actually stupid. The country became a superpower on many people's great decisions. I'm hoping it's even a popular vote win, because the Democrats need their 2008 moment. They've grown complacent with a strategy that worked in 2008, but it's not 2008 anymore. It's time for them to stop doubling down on something only a tiny but vocal minority of people agree with and work to find a new platform that actually works for people. Also, they need to stop relying on a friendly media that will lie for them. They need a message that actually resonates with people besides "Vote for me, I'll let you kill your babies!"
Really, I hoped they'd get that lesson in 2020 but obviously it didn't happen, but the sooner they learn that they're on the wrong track, the sooner they might be able to get on the right track. The world isn't the same as 2008. Trump isn't George W. Bush, or even George H. W. Bush.
At the moment, it looks like the Optimates vs. the Populares from ancient Rome, but under a democracy you can't have elitism like that. Everyone ought to be trying to do what's best for the people because very few people are interested in voting for elites. Hopefully that's the next step we see, the Democrats remember they work for the people and not for a small number of elites or elite adjacents and we can have two parties with real visions that people can get behind. It's what I want to see. I'm not a partisan, I don't want to see a Republican monoparty forever. I know the dangers of too much Republican power. They'll have to take the correct lessons from this cycle, and with a strong Trump win, I think they will at least have to admit it's not just that Russia cheated.
So where do we go from here?
