ORIGINAL: markyugen
HC is a straight-down-the-middle moderate at a time when the country is deeply polarized and many of it’s people want extreme measures applied to it’s problems. Liberal and conservative used to mean somebody roughtly in the middle of the political spectrum, but nowadays liberals are demonized by both left and right, and mere conservatives are treated like traitors by the extreme right and pushed out of the electoral process in favor of incendiary bombthrowers and unapologetic demagogues like Trump. This election is more a sad reflection on what the country has become than it is about HC’s rising and falling poil numbers. Can the decline and fall of the American empire be near?
She will decline in that [its] great experiment in a democratic republic and govt. truly at the consent of the governed, will end but it will not fall, she having plenty of skilled labor to enslave in the new forthcoming digital, remote-control fascism that is just simply not yet near enough to be quite yet...around the corner.
Faction (Federalist 10) will be the social/political vehicle for the decay in people power, the embryonic or even child-like, growing pains of which we feel...even now. After [his] defeat, the radicals will patiently await...the new demagogue. There will be one or several just as was in Rome when it became general against general.
AI (artificial intelligence) properly programmed could be the new demagogue, with Zettaflop processing over 2000 years of data in less than a day, soon...over a century an hour. And our children and their children will...piss on our graves if they can find them.
