The mood is resignation

Going over English-speaking media, the  dominant tone is jubilation, as Trump is accused of a failed insurrection, trying to force the legal authorities to annul the results of the election. The Democrats are poised to impose a strict authoritarian regime. The tone of the right is shock and resignation to a long Democratic winter. 

One blogger observes that in Georgia the unconceivable happened: they elected a Black preacher and a Jewish liberal. This would have never happened if not for the demographic changes  of the last 50 years. Looking at the numbers, that is not true, foreign immigration to the State is less than 2% of the population.  The proportion of Blacks is lower than the historical 50%.

  1. I wish I had the energy these people had for all their political bullshit, that at the end of the day doesn't change anything.

    I have a lot more respect for mossad, KGB, CIA, etc.
    They are cold-blooded and relatively centrist people with simple goals. No crazy ideological demands or programs.

  2. Come to think of it, all this is happening in America not because there is any demographic replacement, or as a response to any real civilization loss. America is still the richest country in the world, unemployed people can live on benefits, they have the largest welfare state, there is no hunger.

    Police kill what.... maybe a few dozen black people a year, compared to life in Africa where security services gun down people every day in tragic situations.

    So why are people rioting, breaking into capitols, yelling crazy things.

    The white people are not being tortured in the street like in South Africa, or being denied employment. The immigrants coming to America are all middle-class people who hold jobs. There is no refugee or crime crisis.

    So why are people losing their minds? What's going on?

    Maybe Francis Fukuyama was right. Americans really reached the end of history in 2000, but the end of history is boring so they are creating fake news and fake history to give some meaning to a boring life.
