Sounds like *someone* hasn't drank enough cyanide...

Random thought, are voters really that stupid?  Democrats know it, they spent all those years as slave-owners and have never lost blacks since.  Maybe that really is their starting point, treat everybody as stupid and punish those who don't obey or try to escape.

It would explain a lot.  If you're smart enough to think of that, they don't want you.

□ [“John Kerry Spills the Beans at U.N.’s COP27 Meeting: They Want to Replace Capitalism with a New Economic System"]

They're all rushing to get there.  The pope supports it, as does Prince Charles (who self-identifies as a king.)  Kerry says his speech was to say “we need to create demand signals in the market where they didn’t exist.”

We don't have a market to eat bugs, you need to create one.  We don't have a market to get rid of fuel except for your jets and cars, that's what you want to create.  You're not going to get it without China and Russia manufacturing everything for you and they have their own requirements.

For the machines that are supposed to replace fossil fuels, China is the world's biggest producer of graphite (natural flake), silicon (metallurgical), cobalt, and the rare metals dysprosium, germanium and lanthanum.  Russia is the second biggest producer of germanium and China is the second biggest on vanadium.  China and Russia are come in third place for producing lithium and vanadium respectively, while the US does make one of its few appearances on the most productive list for third place on geranium.

The US does come in fourth for silicon (metallurgical) and fifth for copper.  China comes in sixth again for silicon, I think they're counting different companies at this point.  Russia comes in seventh for copper.  The US comes in eight for lithium and silicon, Russia is ninth for silicon and China is again on that list at tenth place.

China is also a high-ranking producer of neodymium which is needed for these things.  The Congo produces copper and they're on China's side.  India produces graphite and they're also getting closer to China and Russia.  I haven't been able to find a genuinely good list of what's required and who makes it so keep in mind this is just the best I could work out from what I did find.  Some US allies are on the list too China is definitely the one who will get the most attention for what leftists want, and China knows it.

Judge Strikes Down Biden’s Student Loan Forgiveness Plan – Scolds Biden Regime in Blistering Opinion
November 10, 2022

I've really been wondering how they expect to handle banning gasoline with the underground movement.  If nothing else, people will be looking for ways to bring it in from other countries.  The expense and transport will be a problem but that's probably something that open-borders will help with and I can see it as something where human nature will find away, especially against these rulers.

There's also more attacks on Trump than usual.  Some of it is just a natural reaction to losing, that makes sense.  Some of it is the anti-Trump people who always sided with Democrats whether they admit it or not.  They're part of the enemy we need to fight.  And some of it is legitimate complaint.

There's the 'what have you done for us lately?' mentality which, like it or not, does have a place.  There's also the fact that he can't point to enough in the way of definite victories.  With all the misery our rulers have imposed on us for the last two years, it should have been impossible to lose midterm elections.

There's also the fact that he's just old.  I don't think I've ever seen someone his age maintain such a consistent effort for so long but face it, old is old and he's not going to get any better.  I'd be fine with him in an 'elder statesman' position, or as Speaker of the House if there's a chance.  I'd also really appreciate it if he sets up a resistance movement.  But as a politician, he's done.

For me, it's been consistent failure for the last two years.  I never saw the stolen 2020 election coming but you'd really think he could have foreseen that and made plans to stop it.  For the next two months, I really thought he did have something ready.  But no, he left office and that was it.

Ok, I thought, he's at least put a lot of younger supporters in place to make a move, I thought he was going to strike back against tyranny.  As Biden's puppet-masters immediately imposed misery, I thought that would only build up to something.  Maybe it will at some point in the future but there's no point in looking forward to that anymore.  We have too many problems to deal with now.  The guy who claimed to have a plan to stop the virus on day one still hasn't stopped it and his supporters obviously don't mind.

I don't really have a 'turning point' but if I had to pick one, I'd just say the Pennsylvania thing.  You're running against a complete retard, that should be the easiest thing in the world.  But you pick a leftist who self-identifies as a Republican as the candidate?  Because he's rich and famous?  Trump couldn't find anybody better than that?
