The inevitable death of the chosen one

In various religious thoughts when a "chosen one" comes to show humanity the way, in one form or another, death is required. A group believes but the whole does not. Unless you count getting hilariously poisoned by another groups religious symbol and dying how you ribe you would if you were lying. Because comedy.

But here's the thing: if you hold someone up as a saint or a chosen one should you not be surprised by the outcome?

Personally I believe you should never hold a politician to any level of highness. You dont become any kind of leader without dirty hands. A certain level of psychopathy is needed to make decisions that harm some and benefit others. It's needed.

All these "saint Trump" things are sick. I am talking about religious figures drawn basically annointing him or prayers thanking a higher power for him. It's idolatry at best and at worst it's a subconscious need for him to die to give motivation.

He has to lose now. He has to go to jail. He has to die. Then the cycle will be complete.

And that might be the bigger conspiracy: is Trump trying for somekind of political sainthood? Are democrats unwittingly making a "chosen one" out of him?

That would be fairly hilarious.

Nothing like that.

Bottom line: I just believe without election integrity that we are done.

Unless these electronic voting machines are removed that can switch votes and have any number of votes loaded into them at a whim. Unless fully observed and fair vote counting is performed in the major cities... we are done.

Congratulations, we now have one party rule and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

FYI - The Senate is holding a hearing on "election integrity" today: www.hsgac.senate.gov...

If all these anomalies happened to swing things the other way, the left would be screaming like crazy and it would be suspicious and they would get their investigations too just like they did with the Russian Hoax.

Now all these anomalies happened, the election swung, the right is screaming, but we're all delusional.

Uh-huh ... riiiiiight.

With ... what? The two or three senators with enough 'nads to admit the whole thing smells no matter what the rest think or know privately?

My argument is if he is being held as someone who revealed a great truth that was hidden then the fight is pointless. He, the person, will lose. It has to happen to complete the circle

a reply to: Purpapengus

Why are you making it about a person. It's about our civil rights.

a reply to: Kocag

Because it's always about the person first, subject later.

a reply to: Purpapengus

Is it? Biden is immaterial. The forces and agenda behind him are not.

a reply to: infolurker

You guys have two parties down there? Cause honestly, to the rest of the world it doesn't really matter and might as well be the same. Both parties try and:

Push America's global hegemony

Cater to the military industrial complex

Continue illegally occupying foreign countries, bomb strikes, drone strikes, assassinations, instigating coups in other governments and general military adventurism around the world

Accept corporate lobbying in exchange for passing legislation that favours them

Continue to push manufacturing away from America and replace it with service jobs or other low end work

Continue to funnel money away from the lower and middle classes up to the top

Find excuses to strip rights and liberties

Maintain a massive spy network that monitors the US and global population

Are a bunch of out of touch rich folks who give zero #s about the average person

The left-right paradigm has become so warped and pointless. Neither side represents actual people. It's just one group of corporate lobbyists against another using politicians like chess pieces.

And in the end, none of the corporations give the slightest # about america because they've had their sights set on that sweet Asian market with billions of people for a while now.

Honestly, America's being destroyed because it's a smaller market than china and the rest of Asia. That's it. That's the only reason.

It comes down to a market size of

400 million vs like 2 billion.

You can make a lot more money off 2 billion people than you can off 400 million people.

But America's got all those like guns and innovative, motivated people. Gotta deal with that first. They've been doing a damn fine job of it all year. People are practically begging to be locked down and tracked like sheep to keep them safe. Almost a third of all businesses have been permanently closed down across america. People are cheering this on.

If you really wanted to save your country, you'd round up every corporate lobbyist, line them up against a wall and...well...i'm sure you can figure out the rest.

I wish that gave me some form of hope for the future...
It DOESN'T! It is a sad joke.

It was a good run while it lasted.

Ideas are always personified.

And in comes the argument against capitalism.

If we directed the companies, told them what they could buy and sell...

a reply to: Purpapengus

No...you're right. I'd totally rather live in the upcoming corporatocracy where we live bound by the various terms of services of the corporations that will control every aspect of life for everyone. Better to just let the ultra rich control everything, they have more money, they must know best. Yup completely unfettered, unregulated globalist capitalism is definitely the best answer.

a reply to: dug88
Bill of rights is a terms of service, so is the constitution.
"the tree of freedom..."

But we're getting into the weeds now.

a reply to: dug88

Exactly. This notion that with Trump no longer in office to ''save'' the nation we are faced now with a one party system is myopic. Your points are valid.

a reply to: TerryMcGuire

I agree

Well. for a start Trump can get behind the queue. There is already people who think and act like gods, Bezos, Gates, Zuckerberg, etc. etc. Need I go on. These people act superior to the rest of humanity. If they were genuinely philanthropic they would donate and use their money secretly, but they don't. They like to advertise what they do in as much as "look at me how I helping these people" and " see how I'm doing good deeds for people I don't even know". Need I go on with the self aggrandising these people do. And all you can come up with Trump.

Yup, same here. The "fix" is in and has been since this (sic) virus conveniently started in a election year.
