From humanity I hope for continual improvement. That a majority of people choose to take even the smallest of steps in a direction that leads to a better future for everyone. It's not all or nothing or I don't care how I want it now. It takes time and pressure to get even 10% of the changes in human attitude you are looking for. It's measurable even with the corruption in play we have enough recorded history to prove that.
For clarity the type I pressure I'm speaking of isn't from brute force, It's the natural pressure of life in a society.
You said half of you are pushing the government to do something about the massive fraud issue
I'm guessing you're talking about Minnesota
Let's see if any higher ups at the governing level are indicted or end up serving time
So far, Trump is falling way short in that department

Since we're getting a little imaginative here, I was thinking today about Asimov's Foundation series.
Right now, it sort of feels like the beginning, when Hari Seldon has realized that the Empire is falling, in fact its falling is a certainty, and has almost already happened, in a way.
It's a weird superposition of two different "where we are now" pictures of America, between left and right. One side sees an encroaching fascist police state, already virtually in motion. The other sees an encroaching lawless anarchy, already virtual in motion. The only thing they seem to agree on is that America as we have known it may very likely be on the edge of falling.
Seeing the double-vision of both, it sort of feels like we're all, like Seldon, just charting the map to the better future, the shortest path back to something stable, in our own ways. With as little "deviation red" as possible.

It's not just Minnesota, I've heard of large operations in Maine, California, and Ohio. I suspect it will be found in all states by all walks of life but the first steps need to be taken. Yes he is currently failing and Pam Bondi is failure that should be let go as well, however it's not over yet the FBI is investigating it. I hope they prosecute the governing body in Minnesota that is clearly involved with it and start going after the other states. When people even politicians see that actual real consequences, some of them will straighten out.

Yeah, but Harry had a plan that could kick start the next cycle to maximize the good times vs the bad times that comes with society collapse. I only got to see seasons 1 & 2 of that show I don't have apple and don't care to give them any money for their services so unless I come across a hard copy or some other streaming service finally gets the syndication rights I won't get to see how that show pans out. I know I could read all the books but I prefer fiction as sights and sound I spend all day reading non-fiction technical documentation and various computer code all day it kind of burns you out on wanting to read anything else.

Pointless bickering ensures people have to wade through three pages of no point before they get to the good content.
Why are you trying to sink the content under pointless bickering?

I'm sorry if you think pointing holes in your incorrect posts are pointless bickering. I was just trying to show were you might be better informed about the situation in Greenland.

Maybe he can get someone to explain that Greenland isn't as green as it's name and he'll forget about being shown up by the E.U.
I posted the video of the speech where he literally said what is claimed.
Do your ears not work?
Try the closed caption option.
He was ABSOLUTELY talking about aircraft carriers.
FFS. you don't get to make up your own fucking reality.

It's amazing how much leftist discourse is just them pretending not to understand things, thus making discourse impossible.

He mentioned/talked aircraft carriers, lifts and catapults then when off on a complete tangent (like he usually does) and talked about dropping a magnet into a small glass of water and it stops working.
What does dropping a magnet in small glass of water have to do with aircraft carriers!! I tell you, absolutely nothing. Defend Dozzy Don all you like but he's the best and greatest retard!!
