I disagree, Mr. Trumps demeanor is irrelevant. People are not voting for a perfumed silver-tongued prince who glibly says nothing much. They are voting for the guy to who says what we are all thinking. A tough man who likes the good fight. I think Mr. Trump will lose votes if he turns into milk toast which you seem to think is superior.
The first civil simmered for many years before it erupted into violence and then war. Emotionally it was about slavery but economic problems played a huge role. If things get bad enough, especially in conjunction with the decline in our culture, not to mention stolen elections, don’t be so sure it won’t happen again.
The same nonsense was going on when I was a student back in the late 60s and early 70s against the Vietnam war. I think the same people are doing this. They won’t stop until they get what the want. We need S.I. Hayakawa but I fear academia no longer produces such men or women.
Considering the depth of the fraud, organizing the slates of electors was justified; the problem was Pence’s failure to refer the matter to the states to decide, as Nixon did in 1962, when Hawaii sent two slates. The states would likely have given Trump the electors since there was overwhelming evidence that he did win those states. On any case, Pence’s failure to recognize his most important constitutional duty was the chief executive officer presiding over federal elections and not the master of ceremonies, is the reason for this terrible state our country is in. Mike pence has surpassed Benedict Arnold and every other traitor this country has ever known. If ever there should be a man without a country, that man is Michael Pence.

The argument, so I’ve heard, is that Russia will go on to invade Europe. Who cares, they aren’t the Soviet Union, and Russia isn’t any more communist than the rest of the European socialist states.
We should have listened to George Washington. No good has come of our involvement in foreign wars.

But this is part of what the Bible warns us about in the last days. And, organ harvesting is happening China, wholesale murder has happened in every communist state. It is time to wake up and stop calling the peril we are facing, “alarmist” and “sensationalist.” Horrible things are happening all over the world.

The canal is dying because the US doesn’t own and operate it anymore. I remember well when Carter gave it away. All the intelligentsia were in favor of this, even William Buckley but the American people were almost unanimously opposed. This stupidity was one of the reasons that Reagan won in a landslide and the GOP gained control of the Senate and although the Dems still had the house but narrowly, they were quite intimidated by Reagan. So some good did come out of this folly. I hope that Trump will find a way to take back control. It needs to be done.
I would go one step further and not allow children under the age of 16 to have a tablet, computer or a phone, except for a basic phone that allows the child to make phone calls.
