Donald Trump

I dont know how other countries feel on this, seems we are all consistent in wondering what the fuck like? America have resoundingly voted him in, and for the lot as well the whole congress there. He has cleaned up completely. I just shake my head at it now, got to respect what they want I suppose, like Brexit

America haven't 'resoundingly' voted him in. In a huge voting population of around 161 million it came down to a few thousand votes in a few states.

It should NEVER have been that close.

I read a ton of Teilhard de Chardin in school, who tried to reconcile the science behind evolution with the idea of God as a magical Creator. In fact the science vs creation debate was why I minored in theology. I always liked his semi-concept of Christ as the ideally-evolved human. It always strikes me as odd that God would be authoritarian as opposed to Buddhist. The guys who wrote South Park thought so too.

Never heard of de Chardin. Apparently a Jesuit, which I suppose in my limited knowledge of Catholicism, makes sense.

Imagine how bad you have to be to have lost to a failed businessman, reality TV host, coup-plotter, felon, sexual assaulter, Putin-stooge who is also Hitler 2.0 after blowing through 1 billion dollars in 11 weeks. So bad even 2020 Democrats stayed home by millions.

lol

As Ezra Klein says, you Democrats "don’t need to build a new informational ecosystem. Dems need to show up in the informational ecosystems that already exist."

Once there, you can all do what you do best - seek validation by insulting anyone that disagrees with you. A sure vote winner.

Does this mean that the Dem’s have been owned?

Yep.

What happened next?

There is only one party 'owned' in this whole sorry mess.

Democrats got smashed in 1972 as well.

I hope — pray — that’s a parallel.

Agreed, the Dem's fucked up big time. The problem is that the current information ecosystem is built on lies and misinformation, and only one party was willing to ditch any morales they had left and embrace it wholeheartedly.

The reason some Dem's are calling for a new fair and honest information ecosystem is because otherwise it becomes a race to the bottom and it will be the electorate that truly suffer.
