The right-wing is on the way out. Demographics are against them, and it consists of older people. Red states are turning purple and purple states are turning blue.

Deposing Trump provides a chance for the republic to return to democracy and normal behavior. Whether this also provides a path for progress to return after 40 years of regression and stalemate will be up to the people and their leaders. But that is what I am still predicting will happen. A nation cannot remain in neutral or reverse forever and still prosper. The question is why you ignore this problem and why you want the stalemate to continue indefinitely.

The pandemic and the black lives matter movement provides an opening for progress, and a return to government that can act and be empowered and controlled by an active citizenry, and it will need to encompass many other issues too if our republic is to get off the dime and move again. We on the left can form alliances and address these concerns and ideals and move forward again, and then there won't be such an impulse among some to, as you see it, just tear down the country. What needs to be torn down are the barriers to progress which the right-wing has put up over the last 40 years of Reaganomics. That many whites are marching with blacks now shows the potential for these alliances.
Who made you God? Do you really have the power to refute me or Mickey ?


Of course I do. That is real easy, even for a pathetic liberal like me.

To make you REALIZE that you have been refuted, maybe that's when I would need God's help.

Quote:Yes. The demographic's may seem to favor the Left at the moment democratically speaking. I don't think you are aware of how many minorities have advanced beyond race and are currently American believers themselves. Hint: Democracy isn't much of a factor during times of Civil War and as far as war goes, the American right has a significant advantage over the Left. You must be aware that the Left controls larger cities that were mainly middle class at one time but no longer today.

The larger cities have changed in different directions. Some have been increasingly hollowed out until they have more poor non-whites, but more often they have been gentrified and have more middle and upper classes than decades ago, even if still diverse.

Be that as it may, a civil war would not be decided by which people have the most guns. It will be decided by which people have the state, and that will be decided at-least semi-democratically, although your side can cheat or otherwise take advantage of the system that favors your side.

Since you can't define "american believers," I can claim them for my side rather than yours. But one thing you can hope for is if "minorities" (an outdated term) get more prosperous, they might get more conservative. But they have formed a habit of voting Democratic for a long time now, and in this era prosperity is still not spreading very far, and will NOT do so as long as your side's Reaganomics ideology remains in charge, whose purpose is to inflate the wealth and power of the already wealthy and powerful.

I suspect it will take most of the 4T to get it out of power, and then you can hope that further activism won't be needed for a while during the 1T. THEN today's rising ethnic groups might get more conservative as they age. But this may take 20 years or more. By that time too, or soon thereafter, another prophet generation will come along to start challenging authority again.
