We are headed into tribalism. When minorities were a small voting block, whites could split or claim to be splitting their votes along ideological lines. But since the minority vote is growing and the election of Obama despite record low votes from whites(38%), whites are banding together more than ever.

This is not a good thing. What happens with tribalism is that the people vote for “their guy” regardless of his or her qualifications or fitness for office.

We can see this with the decreasing quality of candidates that the GOP has put up recently for national office. Bush>>> Palin>>>>>Trump

You can’t even get out of the GOP primary of you are a halfway decent and moderate candidate.

We know the South flipped parties as a reaction to the Civil War and Civil Rights fight. What happens when whites in the rest of the country begin to vote like whites in the south?

That’s what I expect if Mueller doesn’t bring him down. That it’d take a military coup to remove him from office. Mueller’s team is basically the last hope to preserve a functioning democracy in the country.
Too many eggs in that basket.

He can’t single handedly remove humble from office he would need impeachment proceedings. Also Trump could go full fascist and just refuse to follow any court orders and his MAGAbots wouldn’t budge.

The best hope in my estimation is the mid terms if the Democrats can actually destroy the Republicans then maybe they can impeach him for any number of his current violations. even then we’re talking about an avowed fascist who idolizes strong men it won’t be as easy as just simply following process.

USA is Yugoslavia 2.0 and It was inevitable, the premise of the US is based on a lie. It's one thing being a country of European mutts it's a whole other thing when you have competiting ethnic groups making up huge chunks of the population.

I think the internet has widened the divide. All major breakthroughs in communication have come with serious disruption. Hopefully it doesnt get much worse than Trump///I think thats optimistic, though,
I dont think the internet create the divide, it just help bring to to surface repressed settlements.

With that said, I'm still optimistic, there's this weird stance of having a sense of boundaries or compassion, which serves as a sense of checks and balances....

Prior to the passage of the civil rights act, kids were getting bombed in a church, on a Sunday.

I know my above is about feeling optimistic, but this post in the coliseum just confirmed how fukked we truly are:
I know it's just one state but :hubie:

74% of white men voted for Roy Moore and 65% of white women voted for Moore as well.

Considering the fact that Moore was a piece of shyt and white people decided to ride with him anyway says a lot.

So this shyt don't even surprise me.

absolutely disgusting.....

Yeah, politics in 2018 is basically just a racial head count, especially in the south. :francis:
