So, I'll give Biden credit for keeping that promise right now. Is Biden going to solve racism? Biden would have to kill every racist regardless of their race or gender (racist blacks are just as racist as racist whites these days). Racism is still to lucrative for Biden and the Democrats to solve at this point. I don't see the SWJ's embracing equality and giving up their jobs and all the fruits associated with their jobs either. I don't see Biden stopping dumping billions of American tax dollars into corrupt institutions and countries that most Americans don't trust or give two shits about either. I don't see Biden stopping climate change in it's tracks  either.

At least he is trying to solve problems rather than perpetuating the status quo.

I agree COVID will be solved, though not before Trump and the Republicans makes it bad indeed.

The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s resulted in laws which changed certain racist behaviors.  It is likely to happen again if the Republican aren't in position to fight in favor of racism.

To some extent you need to enforce equality, or the racist will do what the racists have always done.  I'm not a big fan of the SJWs either, but the fight should be fought.

I do tend to think the commitment to stop climate change will fall short during the crisis.  The economic problems falling out of the the Republican lack of a COVID response are unnecessarily great.  I anticipate a green awakening, as the young prophets try to correct the inadequate response.  

The recent Republican shtick is to say that domestic spending, solving the problems of the working man and minorities, is socialism and thus not American.  I'm not buying it.  Government is necessary to attack certain problems, including domestic ones.  Making it a habit to not solve problems will in the long term eventually catch up with you.  The problems just become larger and more intense.  Ask George III, Buchanan, Hoover and Trump what happens if you choose not to attack the central issues of a crisis.  

Well, maybe not George III or Trump.  They had / have problems grasping reality.

Stopping climate change is high on the Biden agenda. It will be dealt with, and must be during the crisis if there is to be a green awakening that will take solutions further. The covid vaccines will end this current crisis in 2021, but that will not end the fourth turning. I doubt the green change will be what we need in a Biden first term, unless the miracle I predicted happens and a big Democratic victory happens in the 2022 midterms. It is possible if the millennials, all of whom will be eligible to vote for the first time, plus early Gen Z, live up to their civic archetype and vote. It will take a qualified and likable Democrat (i.e. not Kamala Harris) to be nominated in 2024 and win and carry congress with him or her in order to take the crisis mood to its climax and burst through the barriers and the resistance. This crisis climax in 2025 is still to come.

How will the voters react to the first 2 years of Biden? Will they have less to react against than they did in 1994 and 2010, because a major health care reform will not pass or get very far this time? Or will younger people give up again because the Republicans stopped Biden from getting much done, and they blame Biden unfairly, as they did to Obama in 2010 and Clinton in 1994? Biden should get some credit for handling the covid crisis better, and an economic recovery may help him and Democrats in the upcoming elections.

Biden and the blue states can do quite a lot on the climate crisis, even despite resistance from the McConnellites and Trumpists. California will lead the way under Gov. Newsom and our Democratic legislature, and General Motors is willing to get on board and adhere to CA pollution and climate standards. That may be a big deal; credit where credit is due! Electric cars will make a big difference in blue states and even in some southern red ones where alternative energy is coming online to power them. The market continues to favor solar and wind energy, and investments and jobs are growing in the renewable sector. The USA will rejoin the climate accord on Biden's Day One, and USA leadership by the Biden admin will make a difference in the world.

Biden won't be President for long and you already know what's going to happen when Harris becomes President. So, it's waiting game at this point.  As I've told you, we'll watch as Rome burns . America ain't going away and America understands the difference between racism and the need for more border security and the job of enforcing immigration laws. It also knows the difference between fascism and American defense and American law enforcement. The political circus that you and others are directly associated with will end in disaster. America stepping away is what your going to see as a bunch of self serving, self loathing, self absorbed tycoons and political whores learn a lesson or two about real life. America doesn't care about you or your issues or Obama or Jeb Bush or Mitt Romney or Tesla or Ford Motors or Citibank more than it cares about it's country and you'll all will find that out the hard way. There is now a clear separation/distinction between the American people and all the shit associated with its government today. The media are a bunch of fucking idiots in my opinion but whatever, the damage they created is already done and you're fucked in my opinion. You don't know this but we already have you by the balls so to speak. Trump will formally concede during a national address, do a Douglas MacArthur "I shall return promise" and more or less leave the keys to the White House hanging on the door.

As I said, there's a lot of you (a Democratic system that's reliant upon America staying together and quasi socialists with alternative motives or oil and water constituency) and a lot of us (hard core Americans). Biden represents the interests of Washington DC and Wall Street and the interests associated (with) a bunch of fucked up cities and state governments and a group of global tycoons and the interests of a political cult/ social justice warriors who seem hell bent on destroying everything that's good (the fabric) that made America Great. You eliminate what's good (the fabric), what's left? Your fucked in the head, Obama is an arrogant fuck head who didn't have a man like me around to teach or contend with as a kid.  When the coddled for life and silver spoons meet the American self made and unprotected who could give to shit less about them or all the problems and trouble they cause for them, it's going to be a quick and unfair (heavily one sided) fight. Once again, nature always wins.

I have to go by my horoscope score method, since it is based on actual events. If it is right, then I have to predict that Kamala Harris will never be president. No-one with that low a score has even ever inherited the position. And I don't see her score changing to anything near positive; it was 4-16, and now it's 3-17. Therefore, I predict Biden will serve out at least one term.

America knows that xenophobia (fear of immigrants) is racist, but you don't. That's OK, Biden won and he's going to open the borders again. "border security and the job of enforcing immigration laws" will still happen; we just won't have the cruel and unnecessary punishment and abandonment of American laws and ideals that happened under your policies, and under your guy. And you don't know the difference between fascism and law enforcement; otherwise you and the rest of you Republican voters would be more concerned with police brutality based on race than with a few illegal riots-- often stoked by your guys. "a bunch of self serving, self loathing, self absorbed tycoons and political whores learn a lesson or two about real life" sounds exactly like what Trump and you guys will be going through, except I seriously doubt that you guys will learn anything. You haven't for 40 years and counting. Social justice IS "what's good." But "Tesla or Ford Motors or Citibank" and "Wall Street" and all the rest of big business is all you guys care about, and vote for. You "hard core Americans" are hard core losers, and you just can't face up to who you are: provincial, parochial, backwoods idiots.

Trump won't concede. But he will leave, and he will never get the keys again, though he will keep his base alive and try. You can't lose twice and hope to ever win a legitimate election on a third try. And he won't be able to cheat his way in again, as he did in 2016, and is trying so damn hard to do now. Your "nature always wins" social darwinism will lose out to quasi socialism, because people are not isolated individuals, but depend on cooperating with each other to accomplish anything great. America was never great, and therefore won't be made great again; it may never be great, but only by defeating you guys thoroughly and completely forever does it stand any chance to be great or even good or long-enduring past today.
