Sounds like the US is up for a huge left torn in case Cackles wins. But
let's hope and pray that Trump wins. All else will be a huge disaster.

A Trump victory is what would be a huge disaster.
He denies the science of global warming; he interfered with states
taking
necessary public health measures against COVID-19, and he spewed lies
about
a stolen election that contributed to the January 6 insurrection.
However, while grocery price-gouging makes a nice scapegoat... in
Canada,
we have a movement to boycott Loblaws, as if it's to blame for the rise
in world food prices. Apparently people haven't noticed Russia invading
Ukraine... which, of course, is another _big_ reason why a Trump win
would be a disaster for the whole world.
Kamala Harris should indeed stay away from policies that will be
perceived
in the U.S. as wild-eyed socialism. Particularly when indeed there is no
need for them.

Still getting our Putin/Trump Talking Points from wherever, I see.

I suggest getting a grip and consider Trump's telling his Christian
voters that this November is the last time they will ever need to
vote. Political nonsense, at best.

At least this particular remark wasn't promising a one-party
dictatorship.
He was merely stating that he would shift what was normal so that
evangelicals
wouldn't feel pressure to vote, since America would be back where it was
in the
1950s, so neither party would pursue policies they found threatening.
Nonsense, yes. Moving the needle of what is considered 'normal' is not
done in
a single Presidential term.
