I am getting rid of my Yugo
jmone:
I understand how close and passionate many are in the US about this election. I hope that an outsider's view may be more dispassionate. Personally, I think your prayers will be fulfilled:
- Lifting the term limits would require a constitutional change. 0 Chance of that.
- US will not be a Banana Republic regardless of who gets elected
- There will be no civil war
- There will be a vote in 4year time
This is the fear mongering and partisan hate I'm pushing back on both sides of the debate (regardless of if you are Red or Blue). For good or bad, your constitutional system is simply too robust for a 4 year term of any president to destroy. The USA will NOT be like Russia/Putin.
I'm old enough to have heard the tired argument that "this is the most important election in our history" more times than I can count.
You will not like this, but I think this is a picture of your new President by the way. He just won the election. I'd predict that the following President will be a Democrat (though I truly hope both parties put up far better candidates in 4 years times).
