There is much more to an effective, valuable education than a job. The mere fact that 53% of Republican still support Trump is a solid indication that they have no idea what’s wrong or how to fix it. That’s the real value of an advanced education. Anyone can learn in a few weeks how to frame a house. logic, ethics, and philosophy cannot be effectively sampled in the same period. And when you have a large segment of society denigrating such study as worthless, well… here we are.

I grew up in West Germany, the reunification happened in my teenage years. I always wondered how Americans could even live in a country where so many people own firearms, where so many people get killed all the time, where there is so much violence and so little social security, so little social welfare so much poverty. I also couldn't understand how a country where only two parties matter, where none of the other parties get a piece of the political power cake, could even think of itself as a great democracy. Of course, I only know the US from the media, I've never been there. I doon't think I even want to visit the US, it seems like a complete nightmare. Capitalism gone wild.

@@wj3186 If I as a non-American may add my $0.01: I think the entire system is doomed, and that's probably a good thing, since the system was built by greedy Europeans killing and robbing natives, taking their land, kidnapping millions of Africans and enslaving them. The US got all the religious extremists who fled from Europe after their attempts at building fundamentalist Christian dictatorships had failed, like the Puritans from England and the Baptists from Germany, and they camee to dominate the culture to such a degree that even today US children learn in school that those evangelical radicals were good people fleeing religious persecution. The entire system of states built by European colonisers has to go. Not only the US, but all the postcolonial states in the Americas need to be dismantled, the natives are the only ones who have any right to say how human societies on the American twin continents should work.

Milton; Very well said; very diplomatic words.

I think same goes for most other democracies in the world. You are not alone with that feeling.

Interesting how that’s also when election campaign costs started spiraling into the stratosphere.

Agreed. It's when the security state took over governing the country, Nov 1963.

Define "military"... if you're referring to a military unit, that can literally be a few guys with guns... or it can be an entire army. Gather a few friends together with rifles, and you've got yourself a military unit called a "fire team". Is this the “private military” you were looking for? Maybe you wanted more? Gather a dozen friends with rifles, and now you've got yourself a military "squad". Still not enough? Well then, if you gather a couple squads, you've now got a "platoon". Is that good enough, or were you needing more for this “private military”? Well, if you can get a few platoons together, then you've created a military "company". And if you can muster at least a couple companies, then you've got a whole "battalion" of troops. If you’re commanding your own private battalion, that’s HUNDREDS of troops ready to do your bidding. At this point, one would hope you’re a millionaire and can afford all this. If that’s simply not enough, then we can start talking in grander scales. Gather from three to six battalions together, and you have an entire "brigade". That’s THOUSANDS of guys… who will all be expecting to eat… and get paid. At this point, you better have a Bill Gates kind of portfolio. We can go on… if you gather several brigades together, you've got a military "division". And of you gather several of those, you've got a "corps". Multiple corps of men and we’re finally talking about an “army”. But an army alone still isn’t quite a “military”. Now we’re going to need to do all the same kind of growth, through ever larger unit structures… except now with with air and naval forces... and those guys are gonna want the REALLY expensive toys. Hope you can afford ships and aircraft to keep them happy. And now you have yourself a "private MILITARY". But again… a few friends with rifles forming a 3 man fire team is MUCH cheaper. They might only require beer and pizza to gather them together.

@@misty671 funny kinda like after JFK got killed and Vietnam was just starting, hmm

Nonsense

The Dems need to rig the outcomes with gimmicks like same day registration, mail ballots with no checks or verification, no IDs, ballot harvesting, allowing non citizens to get on the voter rolls through motor-voter, allowing non citizens to vote in local elections, voting a month before election day, not allowing post election audits, etc. So why should Republicans trust the outcomes?

@@gorgthesalty yes.

@@gorgthesalty I don’t know if we can conclude that. Her narrative isn’t the input into the model. My understanding is that the model takes some combination of the ratings of these third-party groups. My guess is that factionalism is always complicated and that experts over-simplify it when communicating to the general public. You loose people when you say: “it’s complicated.” So it is hard to say where the Republican Party is on the factionalism spectrum and how that would factor into the risk of war. I prefer to think that we’re not that close, but Donald Trump is clearly radicalizing some people. And I believe that is deliberate and self-serving. And many Republican politicians have joined in. That is crazy shit and it makes it hard for me, as someone who has voted more by candidate than party, to trust Republican candidates. That is truly sad for American democracy.

@@christopherbrand5360 I don't know how helpful it is, but Pew recently published their typology report near the end of 2021 and found some 9 distinct factional groups in the American electorate. Some are certainly on the more extreme end and fit the bill for radicalization. I do think a multi-party system that would allow the less radicalized right leaning factions to run candidates that actually respect democracy and have a policy vision. That would be a helpful change -- I still am to the left of them, but I'm all for a democratic, nonviolent exchange of ideas and peaceful transition of power. I don't think we'll ever adopt like an RCV multi-party system, and I don't think it's necessarily a silver bullet either, but I feel like something has to change.

@@chunkerbunkers96 --- A VERY LOST CAUSE. | In a civil war, the Federal government would readily, swiftly, and decisvely defeat the AMATEUR WARRIORS deployed by the white supremacists. Given the rightwing's demographic composition (stolen-valour poseurs, amateurs, wannabes), the practical and military incompetence of the right-wing militias is a real thing, c.f. Trump's Treason of 6 January 2021. The physical cowardice and moral cowardice of right-wing "leaders" are real defects of character that ensure failure (tactical and strategic); notice that The Leader (a manager, actually) walked away from his civil war. On the level, guy, would you suit up in militia-man gear and wage CIVIL WAR in behalf of white supremacists, such as Sen. Josh Hawley, Rep. Madison Cawthorn, or ex-prez. Donald Trump and expect gratitude and treasure?

Everybody who’s looked into the way a modern civil war would be fought thinks it will look like the IRA and the Troubles. Basically stochastic terrorism, bombs, shootings, assassinations.

It's certainly our detriment. It's impossible to trust a neighbor who doesn't look like you.

I disagree. I think civil war is very likely. The majority of the country may not want it, but civil war in modern times are waged by extremists, not armies. Militia groups will likely attack soft targets, assassinate political figures, attack police and government facilities. Civil war in America will look like Northern Ireland during the Troubles.

Think about it. What is this civil war about? White people mad they are not getting there way. Really? The first time a black family is shown being killed by white supremacist on national TV.

@Eternity row X I seem to gravitate towards fascism because I challenged this woman's assessment? Christ f*cking sakes! If you think I am a Trump supporter because I did so, you're part of the problem. Everybody on the Left believes they got it correct, while everyone on the Right believes they have it correct. Trumpism was a massive threat to our system in the four years he was president and, indeed since Jan 6 of '21, remains a threat. But our deeply systemic issues, and partly the mass movement called Wokeness, yielded Trump. Trump, Xian Conservatives, the Proud Boys, BLM, Woke, the wealth gap, the shrinking middle class, etc, etc, are the products of the destabilization of our system and our society--as I pointed out. And these bad ideas and movements further destabilize it. One begets the other. And Leftist extremism begets Right wing extremism, and vice versa. My point is that she simply has a reductionist assessment. THIS DOESN"T MAKE ME A FASCIST. IT MAKES ME SOMEONE WHO HAS STEPPED BACK FROM THE IMPULSE AND PREDILECTION THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE TO "JOIN A TEAM". I REFUSE TO DO THAT. What I have right now is am impulse to describe you in vulgar terms, but I won't. But you can guess that I'm pissed off. I have leaned Left my whole life, and I don't need someone calling me a f*cking Fascist.

@Eternity row X Whoa there. You think I'm a conservative? Go back an read what I wrote. No, on second thought don't bother. If you didn't get it the first time, you won't get it the second time.

@Eternity row X I mentioned right in my first comment the issue of climate change! I have known for twenty years that it's the most pressing problem we humans face. But there is little point in mentioning this to you, since you're one of the many millions in this country who has joined a team and subsequently, automatically, decided that someone who is critical of someone who makes claims publicly (as Ms. Walter has) that in this instance sound "liberal", and when someone (in this case me) challenges her, then I must be on the conservative team. Being on one of these teams allows one to give in to the team ideology and experience the warm fuzzies that come with team solidarity. Unfortunately, it also allows one to shut down the act of thinking--which is already hard enough absent such influences.

@Eternity row X What rights are you so worried about the GOP taking? Leftists are the fascist pigs. Not the right.

If the GOP gets over 50% of this vote, it demonstrates legitimate democracy at work because there is an actual majority of voters behind them. And Gaylon properly presumes this a 'good thing'.

@@jasonk125 This is not about my feelings(I do not believe presidential election was stolen), but it is about feelings and the power they hold. Let me ask you a question. What would you do if you believed that your candidate should have won the election but was cheated with false votes? Please pretend. Wouldn’t you be terrified? If your history books all glorified the American Revolution, with all the culture which has been invested in resisting unjust government, wouldn’t you consider violence potentially necessary to save your country, your family, your personal wellbeing? This is what many people believe! The ONLY way to live in a peaceful and open society is through persuasion, otherwise we get a government which increasingly rules by force. That is sometimes necessary, but we should never want it! We need to be taking every effort to engage with conspiracy theorist talking points so that they believe the election was secure. The demographics are changing in the United States. Over time, conservative views will fade and are fading due to the natural democratic process. This system can only be gamed so much- as the popular vote increasingly turns against the Republican party as such, they will have to reinvent themselves. Civil war, and violent resistance more generally, is the single most substantial threat to this progress. Why can’t we work with this intelligently? Why not have a Voter Identification & Voting Day bill? Require something like personal I.D. when voting but also give people a national holiday so relative(to party) voter turnout isn’t effected? We gain some stability with no change to the political power of marginally minority groups. In short, please, if you care about human wellbeing, understand that your political and ideological neighbors/enemies are not impotent. I read your comment and I see some of my own emotion and instinct, but we can’t be so absolutist. We have to-have to respect power, even as we attempt to distribute it.

@@johnrhodes3350 May be so. But there is no elite competing for power with them. In the absence of such competition, there will be no civil war. Breakdown of civil society doesn't make a civil war.

And that is why both parties hate Trump.

@@willmont8258 Trump is _not_ a challenge to the current elite. However, he is challenge to their _narrative_ . _That_ is why they hate him.

@Eternity row X you're a subpar troll.

I think most of that is because there's an antidemocratic faction currently taking over the Republican party. They know they don't have the numbers, and haven't won a popular vote in like...what, 15 years? This can generate hate and fear in their base. Conservative types are also the only ones running around with guns excitedly talking about the "next civil war". Also, the more the republicans expand the demographics in their base, the harder it will be to hold them together without actually getting serious about policies that fix problems. How can ypu hold them together then? Focus only on the culture war. Juat because one side is more problematic than the other doesnt mean someone is truly biased when they point it out.

😆

I think any civil war in rich countries would take the form of unconventional war. No front lines, heavy artillery, and uniforms but instead insurgencies, political violence, domestic terrorism, general strikes, riots, coup attempts, cyber warfare, high profile assassinations ect. Just imagine a type of war the military/government is least equipped to fight

A civil war here will be more like the guerilla warfare Partisans in Eastern Europe during WW-2, or the Vietcong in Vietnam employed. It will be fought by what some would regard as terrorists and freedom fighters by others. There will be no front lines or rear areas, NO area will be safe as the combatants will be part of and hidden among the populace. Federal soldiers and or foreign fighters entering the fighting though will escalate the fighting from an insurgency to a international war.

I can’t imagine how trad war like that could happen. The Civil War had two actual polities. The South was organized in such a way for traditional battle. They had a general and an actual military. It’s hard to imagine a faction of the American population to be able to do that to fight against the government. No, it would be as she said. Assassinations, terrorism, etc

People have voting rights now. What we don't need is federalization of elections.

More like against changing the rules for a non issue. There's no one who cannot vote.

*Time for us to get Together*

Its time for change start gathering imma try on my end we need to get everyone on bored if were gonna overthrow the government

Hi, that was a highly intelligent and insightful responce that has made me consider for the first time how much democrats actually do use race as the basis of their political ideology. I have always thought it was justified, especially as the republican party leadership is so overwhelmingly white and male. But that doesn't change the fact the democrats are playing this game just as much if not more than republicans. Thank you.

@@brettgoldsmith8584 Well, my point is quite apart from whether it is justified. I am only saying that it overtly promotes ethnic/racial identity as political identity. One thing working against Democrats: Let's say that Republicans gerrymander, such that poor people are underrepresented. There is little or no legal basis for challenging this. The constitution, as amended, provides that certain groups (Blacks, women, young voters) are to have equal voting rights, so you can challenge certain voting procedures on that basis. But voters in general, or poor people? Not much basis for challenge. Thus, they are pushed to challenge on the basis of race (since gerrymandering rarely affects gender or age groups). Of course, that does not explain why, say, COVID impact would be analyzed from a racial perspective rather than a social class perspective.

@@donbemont7901 Excellent analysis above. I had a sinking feeling listening to the interview. I'd read reviews of the book and theories but was shocked to see her so biased and misinformed (especially about 2020). I've also been concerned that the "demographics is destiny" drumbeat has been clouding liberal thinking. I think one of the issues democrats and the liberal press have is that analysis (of any kind) reveals specific problems, and specific problems warrant attention. But that attention results in fighting overly specific battles (like racial gerrymandering) that skews the perception that non-liberals have of the party and the press. Partially this is the result of our legal system, but when only one side of the ideological divide is interested in solving problems the message is bound to become distorted. For example, as a liberal I love nothing more than a revealing analysis that uncovers some hidden connection, like the correlation between historical redlining and wealth inequality, high COVID rates in black areas, or police violence. It seems like there's actionable evidence, and we (as a country) should at least acknowledge it. But the way it plays out in the media makes it seems like liberals ONLY care about those things. There are plenty of studies about drug use, isolation, and shortened lifespans in rural, mostly white America that deserve attention. But as those can't serve as ammunition for the right, so they're not promoted as part the fictional "liberal agenda."

@@jeremyjackson7429 Exactly. So if liberal-leaning America referred to the impact of COVID on the less affluent, on the people working poorly paid front line jobs who were vastly less able to shield themselves from risk... then millions of poor whites would not end up muttering, "They only care about Blacks." Which has unfortunate effects, including those Ms. Walters is highlighting.

@@jeremyjackson7429 I agree. Democrats really do favor centralization and power of federal government, and that unites small town big wheels (who lose power) and small farmers (who would be in terrible trouble anyway, but federal ag policy favoring efficiency seals the deal against them). And at least around here, those factors, along with abortion and border control are vastly more important to conservative voters than race. But I agree that the Republican margin could be whittled down significantly. For all the data points about in-elasticity, leading to the "concentrate on turnout" philosophy, I have seen with my own eyes the level of GOP support rise and fall around here, depending on the specifics of the moment.

And don't forget, who also enjoy the perks of being around the Robber Barons. The elite Universities who turn out these Servants of Corporate America and it's government. It is certainly a government for the people nor by the people.

Rig the process? You mean like allowing millions of illegals to come make new voters for your side?

@@mouthpiece200 so how do the illegals cast votes .. ? most illegals are people that have overstayed visas from European countries .. and who says they are allowed to come when apprehensions are occurring at high levels .. time for a more realistic talking point like promoting false electors ...

@@direwolf6234 Most illegals are hispanic from below the Southern border. They eventually get amnesty for staying here, and they raise anchor babies who grow up to vote liberal. Over several decades it adds up to millions and millions of people and changes the results of national elections. Liberals are cheaters and the military needs to nullify any of their elections with tanks. No democrat is serious about apprehending illegals. They pay lip service to it just to appear as if they follow the law, but ultimately libs want to keep the border wide open to pad their voter base. They are committing treason and the penalty must be severe. You've heard of sanctuary cities? Pure treason. Anyone who opposed Trump's wall should be suspect.

Ooookay, and what would "peacemaking" look like other than dropping the batshit idea that Trump won the 2020 election?

That...doesn't solve the problem of disunity. When you refer to corporate law, what do you have in mind?

@@wj3186 ...My theory is that the intrinsic unaccountability of corporate "limited liability" is the root cause for civil war in the U.S.A. today. Facilitating corporate interests in State & Federal government defines this era, sadly. Some states (probably most "red" states) would like to make corporations rare and tightly controlled. Counterposed to that sentiment is the belief that making incorporation difficult might hurt the economy. This belief leads directly to the almost universal corporate whoring practiced by politicians throughout the nation.

@@wj3186 Independence separate states I think of what he's talking about

@@soulextract640 no. I'm not suggesting secession. That's been tried and ended badly. I'm saying states should have greater legal rights with respect to corporations. There exist sound Constitutional arguments against "limited liability" which are currently glaringly ignored by our compromised judiciary. I'm just saying some states should be allowed to distinguish themselves as being (legally) bad places for corporate hegemony.

Basically a breeding ground for proto-fascists who can peddle easy solutions, to a populous that's been brainwashed against structural change.

Eh, not really sure Chile counts as a democracy pre-Pinochet. The far-left only won by 36.61% of the vote and by a margin of only ~39,000, but wanted to govern as if he had a mandate.

@@LordWolven Prior to Allende there were a number of democratically elected leaders (again, with just a cursory reading of the history)...And while Allende didn't win with an absolute majority, he still won. Remember Bush only won ~48% of the vote (admittedly closer to the majority) and lost the popular vote, Trump also lost the popular vote with ~46% of the vote (again admittedly closer to 51%). Plus it is well known that Allende was overthrown at the behest and intervention of the CIA. But, yes that is not the best example of democracy in that final election before Pinochet. Though to reiterate, there were democratically elected leaders before him (again, with just a cursory reading of the history).

I live in a similar area as you and mostly agree with your assessment. At the same time, a lot of these people whose brains have leaked out over the past couple of years have kids. They talk a big game but I doubt they have the stomach for it. I could be wrong but I really hope I'm not. As someone who is fairly well-traveled - been to some of the freest countries in the world as well as totalitarian regimes - I can say these people are extremely sheltered. They've never experienced any real adversity. They can't conceive what it's like to live in a place like rural Pakistan as a woman or in China as a Uyghur, but seem to believe they are just as persecuted. Most of them seem to think America is under a real threat of becoming a communist regime. I'm just not sure what we do with that. Someone who truly believes that is lost.
