The good citizens of this country of course. America is coming to an end. And we are all witnesses.
Strong opinion.
This is as good a place as any to pose this question as it does relate to the election.
With the allegations of Russian interference in this election as well as the last and also in the British elections, is it not more than possible that Putin having seen the break up of the old Soviet Union and having taken power in Russia, has a vested interest in breaking up Union in Europe and in America and agitating for a breakdown in trade agreements both sides of the Atlantic.

This really is disconcerting as to how democracy is becoming an illusion.
If America ends up with Trump again then everything is up for grabs and the electorate will have little or no say going forward.
 
I think Idaho is probably the reddest State in the Country, having said that Boise and the surrounding area is becoming the new 'place to be' from all around the Country. The whole State has less than 2 million people and I can see things changing in the future with a more concentrated urban area

Oklahoma. Every single county voted for Trump last election — I think it was the only state in the union where that was true.

It's unfortunately true. There is no civil political discourse anymore. When I first came to the US, Republicans and Democrats got together and made deals. Clinton and Newt GIngrich balanced the budget (with some hefty help from the Tech boom). Dubya and Ted Kennedy passed No Child Left Behind. The environment in DC now is beyond toxic

The electorate has as much say now as they did before. Trump isn;t there by magic - he was voted in. There is a Republican Senate and a Dem House because people so cast their ballots. Now you can mourn the dearth of even vaguely morally upstanding politicians - but that's a different matter.

It’s going to get better if Trump gets axed. I guarantee plenty of Republican senators and representatives are voting for Biden no matter what they say (or we assume) publicly.
