Man, they'd really screw themselves if they actually tried, but they won't. Seriously, how are they any better than the Republican Party? They're just two sides of the same coin, really. Just two different faces of the exact same thing.
Thomas Williams59, you're my new hero. You're like an investigative god.
There's only one God, but since we're talking about investigations... honestly, that should be left to the people who actually do it for a living—journalists and actual investigative agencies. That's the only way anything would ever get done. The rest of us can just sit here on forums yapping until Judgment Day for all it matters... But while this two-headed monster keeps swapping power with the support of their little political local youth soccer club, nothing's gonna change. Nothing. I don't expect a damn thing from journalists or politicians, now or in the foreseeable future.
And while we're on the subject of society and soccer.
Unless we, the people of this "less-than-ideal nation that used to be part of the Soviet Union," finally catch on to what's happening step by step and actually react once—maybe even while we're still around—nothing changes. Over the last five years, people have started to realize some things; half the topics and questions from today's show wouldn't have even been mentioned five years ago... but man, give it another five years and maybe we'll understand a bit more. And hopefully enough that people finally snap. If they ever do. Because if absolute nonsense like Orjuna 😵 is still being treated as a legitimate topic, especially among certain veterans or religious circles, when the contradictions are so massive you could see them from an airplane—what else can you even expect?
The war was clearly just one incredible anomaly in the history of the American consciousness, and it's obviously pretty hard to replicate. After that, it feels like the whole country just deflated like a popped balloon and lost its momentum.
