    "So, I look up socialism, and find that it will lead the country into hell, make the poor folks poorer, end innovation, end freedom and liberty (Cant have liberty at the same time you have govt control), and become a welfare state, etc etc."

    Why? How would it make poor folks poorer?
    How would it end innovation?
    How would it end freedom and liberty?

    All countries ...[text shortened]... e you are not spouting rhetoric. Nothing you are saying makes any sense, so why should I believe it?
    You actually question how socialism would end innovation? A nation of zombies? and As to making people more poor, it is only natural for an earth creature (a human in this case), to lay up pretty sorry as they are spoon fed. Why do anything? Where is my blanket and TV clicker? Why innovate...I have all I need. I don't even need money, so why create something to make money??
    You really ask how socialism ends freedom and liberty, as government grows larger and larger and larger??? You are getting like Handy Andy. Stupid questions. I would love to send you a million links about the horror of socialism, but Russ may dump me, and he would be right, and anyway, I am not a links person.
    You will not answer this question, you will take a cue from Marauder, the best segue artist on the Forum/
    In your world, would you want your children to live under socialism??. That is a yes or no, and remember, people are watching for your response...Even the Socialists!!!

    Dont suggest that I evaded your questions, as the answer is easily found on google, just type in "Pros and Cons of Socialism". This is not to say that you won't like the pros, as you probably will. But for the USA?? It is a death knell in disguise .

    Trump won , he is our real President. Biden and the Dems stole every election in 2020 and they should all be arrested and sent to Gitmo. Then given a quick trial and executed for treason. Fckuk the FBI and Secret Service if they don't like what I'm saying

    If the truth came out it would bring the US government down to its knees. The establishment cannot let it come to light.

    As Putin said, it is not the voters who decide elections, it is the people who count the votes.

    This is the first election where the counting of votes had to be put on pause for hours. I wonder why.

    You'll have to ask the Republican led states where the election was decided.
    One question that comes to mind........
    Why was it decided in some of these states to count the mail-in ballots last ?
    That decision give Trump the opportunity to claim victory by 11pm. Hmmm ??

    Some facts around this.
    Trump was openly telling his supporters at his rallies to vote in-person.
    This effectively tilted the Trump support to the in-person votes and the Biden support to the mail-in votes.
    Then counting the mail-in votes last allowed Trump to have the lead early and Biden to catch him later on.
    And this allowing Trump supporters to cry foul.

    And this was planned, imo....
    1- Trump claiming the election was rigged months before the vote.
    2 - Trump claiming mail-in ballots were "fraudulent". At the very worst, the process needed to be tightened up. But by telling his supporters to vote in person, he could claim that the mail-in ballots (tilted towards Biden) were fraudulent.
    3 - Republican governors desperately trying to kneecap USPS in the weeks leading up to the vote.
    4 - by delaying counting the mail-in votes so they were counted after the in-person votes, created the late night vote counting that led to the cries of fraud.

    Trump lost. And he knew he was going to lose. Months before the election.

    You are a regular Political Scientist!!! You and Sonhouse know so much inner sanctum knowledge to bring to the Forum. I didn't know any of that. You must eat and sleep this stuff, really exciting.
    I am a bit hazy about Watergate, could you tell us the REAL thing that was going on, specifically about 4PM on Jun 17, 1972?

    What is this obsession with the establishment ?
    What would you like to have it replaced with ?
    You never really get rid of an establishment.
    You remove one establishment and replace it with another.
    What do you have in mind ?

    I'm not a political scientist. But I am fairly logical.
    I see what happened. Do you ?

    I don't spend nearly as much time posting here as you do.
    Maybe an hour a day. I play chess and I run a clan.
    You seem to be here morning till night. A career troll ?? 😛

    Obviously you know nothing about what I believe, otherwise you would not be surprised by the comment about establishment Republicans.

    I asked you some questions.
    I didn't tell you I had you all figured out.
    Your response seems to indicate that you don't want to answer the questions.

    So.......why don't you tell us what you believe instead of complaining about everything in general.

    Tell me about running a clan. Are you helping the poor? Or, is there money in it, I am always open for a solid investment.

    I know that BLM has done nothing to help their people, are you doing anything? Or is that what the clan does?

    How about why don't you people leave other people the hell alone, other than needing conservatives to provide what you need (and what you will take if given half the chance).
