The 2018 midterm election told me everything I need to know about the United States of America. White supremacy, Christian nationalism, and capitalist exploitation will not end in the United States, until white people become a demographic true minority in this country. Despite signs of hope, white society does not change from its ancestral ways, unfortunately. History keeps repeating itself, and this is very sad. The only answer is waiting for demographic changes to alter the balance of privilege and power. In the meantime, vote only for those who publicly askew political party affiliation.
The lesson of the 2018 midterm election for me is this: I will never again vote along party lines for the sake of this country, never again. I will only vote for Beto O’Rourke and Andrew Gillum type candidates. When there are none, I will not vote. I have standards, and I expect my state and national representatives to be of this progressive type. I will not vote to save U.S. citizens from bad choices ever again, because this midterm shows that too many citizens stand by their bad choice. Way too many citizens! Never again.
Elections have consequences, U.S. citizens. Because there was no actual “Blue wave” to take control of both House and Senate, this is what we can all expect now for the next two years: Stagnation, and shouting matches – impeachment, but no removal from office – indictment of the criminal illegitimately posing as our nation’s President, but stymied by a Supreme Court that doesn’t fully protect this nation’s Constitution. … Congratulations, U.S. citizens for failing to see that political parties will fail you every single time, and a “People’s” party is needed to run this government.
The United States of America has become a bad-taste joke before the rest of the world. Even treasonous Nixon will now go down in history as a pretty decent and respectable president, thanks to that Trump guy and his white evangelical nationalist followers, and the power obsessed Republican party that they have corrupted.

“A congresswoman saying “motherfucker” on her first day in office is the first time I’ve ever felt genuinely represented by someone in government – Christine, January 4, 2019″
Call him a “motherfucker” all you want, because he is one. He’s a moron, too! He’s also illegitimately elected. What is wrong is to be calling him “President”, for he is not – *unless* the United States has now become a GOP controlled authoritarian puppet regime of Russia, with that Trump guy being the inaugurated dictator Puppet in Chief! Did I meant that he is still “illegitimate”?
The Senate and the Electoral College are vestiges of this nation’s Founders’ distrust in a people’s democracy. They are specifically institutions meant to override the voted will of the people. They are not beholden to the people. By the constitutional laws of this country, the USA, the Senate and Electoral College can do whatever they want, without fear of real consequence!
Learn a thing or two, a change the national system where it needs to be change, people! “Pick your battles!”
Moron – a stupid person. Otherwise known as a “fool, idiot, ass, blockhead, dunce, dolt, ignoramus, imbecile, cretin, dullard, simpleton, clod,” and so forth!
Moron, Psychology, Description
Moron is a term once used in psychology and psychiatry to denote mild intellectual disability. The term was closely tied with the American eugenics movement. Once the term became popularized, it fell out of use by the psychological community, as it was used more commonly as an insult than as a psychological term. – Wikipedia
