That said: author Vernor Vinge wrote one of my favorite short stories: “The Ungoverned.” If only it could be like that!
Anarchy is problematic when a significant fraction of the world population wants to rule it.

Wrong. When Trump is gone, JD Vance will be president. He will be MUCH more effective, implementing MAGA’s will on the nation.
You folks who are fixating on Trump either resigning or dying are setting yourselves up for disappointment. Things will get WORSE once Trump is gone. Think.

IQ45 controlled the party and people were scared of him. Once he is gone, the rhetoric will be reduced

I created lists for my own purposes & called one “Disinformation.” Bluesky summarily deleted it.
A simple, descriptive list name is not allowed if someone objects to it.
Damn. This is chilling.

Voter fraud almost never happens and when it does the vast majority of it is done by Republicans. The United States has some of the safest and most secure elections in the world. The only people right now that are trying to rig elections are Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

Regressive White Males who are fine with Women of Color fitting a limited role as long as it doesn't outshine or limit the growth of an insecure White Male.
E.g., Jasmine Crockett and Talarico.

People on the Left talk about “identity politics” when Black people assert their presence and concerns. People on the Right call it “reverse racism” when we do.
Both sides engage in same racist dehumanization that says we exist only by their concession or stereotypes, and otherwise must be silent.
