Great insights, fun to read.... Biden's biggest huge negative was saying no more oil industry. Trump's was lack of coronavirus plan. Very different values and perspectives, I think overall the difference between them is clear. I hope people won't favor Biden just because he's a nice grandpa type ... he's a liberal Democrat who wants high taxes for left-wing entitlement programs. He and Kamala and Pelosi will really fck things up.
But not on you or me. Think back to pre-Reagan times, how high were taxes then? And yet the country still reliably churned out millionaires. You'll get there, take it easy.
I told you what happened in a previous thread. 9/11 happened, and America was still raging about it at election time. I remember, I was there.
I remember shortly before the invasion of Iraq the American public was thoroughly brainwashed and something like 88% of Americans supported the need to invade. It's a cautionary tale how easily Americans can go collectively down a rabbit hole spurred on by their politicians and the media. I would say the main difference since is the media no longer sees itself in that role anymore. The UK joined in rather easily but there were many countries including Canada that said it was an unneeded, unwarranted invasion that broke international law.
To sell the deal Bush and gang invented some phony intelligence reports that Iraq had some WMDs ready for action. Reminds me of the flimsy reasons Trump wanted to blow up North Korea.
It is a tale of how furious America got when they took down the Twin Towers. The "shock and awe" we experienced is something Canada could never experience. You simply don't understand the emotional context. Because you were not here. So you will never fall down that rabbit hole (and half your country is sitting on permafrost, so you couldn't even have a rabbit hole, lol!).
