Dolash posted:All this assumes that the Trump era will play out like American politics mostly has for the last few decades, of course. Maybe he'll outlaw the Democrats or limit voting rights to permanently cripple them or just incinerate us all in nuclear hellfire while we bicker. He was planning on talking with a North Korean representative until said rep got their visa cancelled by the state department. I cannot POSSIBLY explain why we are so totally going to get gassed to death with VX.

tacodaemon posted:washington, oregon, and colorado are the only places in the USA with mail-only voting, and colorado only started it last year. i have never been sure why some goons think that it's the norm rather than the exception A lot of places make it really easy, though. When I lived in California a decade or so ago, I could vote by mail just by ticking a box on my registration, didn't have to make an excuse or anything.

Schnorkles posted:i'm sorta betting on the 'the cycle goes on and capital wins' option myself Is Trump a case of Capital winning? He certainly seems to fit theories about late-stage capitalism after the erosion of all community, stability and norms, to be replaced only by vacuous greed. I think a lot of the establishment set across the political spectrum are hoping for a quick resumption of a safe, stable status quo of the rich getting richer and poor getting poorer without ever hitting any tipping point that destroys us all, but Trump and his ilk seem like they're a lot closer to the ultimate endpoint of capitalism than that lot.

i dont get how people can be scared of north kroea even if they have ballistic missiles. i was unemployed a few years back and so i would go to the library and to pass the time between craiglist and poo poo updating job postings i would read north korean books and travelogues lik enorth korean dictators literally spend most of their speaking time talking about proper hygine. there are documented speeches by all of the kims admonishing their people on the proper methods of brushing your teeth and bathing and they cant even afford traffic lights. even if they get a missile theyre in that same space from ww2 when we dropped a second bomb to prove we could do it twice and lol they do not have the production capacity as far as i can tell the number one thing holding everyone back from toppling the kims is the giant humanitarian crisis of feeding an entire nation of people who are literally so malnourished that theyre shorter than the generation that grew up in the 80s

I'm really not the person to ask tbh, because I tend to believe that institutional intertia is already and will continue to stymie the vast majority of what trump [see: bannon] wants to actually accomplish. He's going to cut some regs, make some people some money, crash the thing into a wall and we'll reset like we've done since WW2. Or we'll all die i guess.

Dolash posted:If Trump sufficiently takes over the Republican brand that people turn out against any Republican they can, that might be a viable path for the Democrats to start regaining some ground at the state level. the issue is that if each side goes further towards the extreme, what happens to the middle and where do most of those people go because clearly if a lot of them were ok voting for an orange scam artist fascist who wants to gently caress his daughter, so presumably it was really a matter of policy over personality american society faces an issue where a more socialist government could work, but there's not enough evidence of it at such a massive scale and you have to convince the general electorate to take that leap. i mean the dems wanted to raise minimum wage and tax rich corporations -- i think bernie's message carried into the dem platform well enough despite the anti-trump rhetoric -- but that wasn't good enough for people because they want to hear about they can actually get the jobs despite the fact that those jobs are never coming back, at least not in mass numbers. really it comes down to changing american society to accept that most americans are not going to be employed in 20 years and there's nothing they can do about it so they may as well get ready to accept a ubi and sit on their rear end watching tv all day as we devolve into a wall-e universe

I mean S Korea being nuked would be terrible for several major electronics companies and could have a major impact on the global economy. Man if North Korea actually attacked South Korea and especially if they did it with a nuclear bomb China would drop them like a molten rock. NK on their own don't have enough WMDs for some kind of MAD or spiteful world destruction and nobody wants to get their country blown to pieces backing them. They're only useful to China as a distraction and buffer state and that usefulness goes right out the window in the event of them starting an actual war. I mean I guess sooner or later something's going to have to happen with North Korea, hard to imagine they'll just stay like they are forever, but the players involved would have to massively gently caress up their response for it to escalate beyond loving up just the Korean peninsula and neighbouring regions of China.

Actually I guess if NK were savvy and wanted to start poo poo between China and the U.S. to force China to back them further, they could exploit Trump's stupid belief that China has complete control over North Korea. Just goad Trump into thinking the provocative things they're doing are on China's orders, maybe time a few things right.

Baloogan posted:imagine how lovely it would be if everyone's electronics on the western seaboard had to be replaced? Sometimes I reflect on that future moment where I reach for my phone and it doesn't turn on. What a rush it will be. If the internet/cell networks were to go down for even two weeks then you'd probably have rioting and martial law. Half the populace can't even find their way home from work without google maps. People pay for food with their cell phones. I know I'd feel panicked and suddenly alone if the phones went down. I don't know my neighbors. Technology had enabled my completely independent/isolated lifestyle, I don't know how I'll function when it suddenly turns off. Can't wait to find out though.
