I live in the US btw. So I am not going to go with “weaponisation of govt” . Plenty of checks and balances and don’t forget - Trump got in place a republican Supreme Court that overturned roe v wade.
As far as blue and red goes. Yes - protests are more in blue but Ohio also has it etc. one of the universal things about US (large majority) is that they all are against anti semitism. These protests are going to backfire as they already are.
Oh and I don’t really care about blue and red both nominees are bad. Can’t believe this is the best we could do.
So do I. The weaponization of govt is a fact: anyone else who was guilty of what Hunter Biden did, whether it was the drugs, tossing a firearm in the trash, influence peddling, et al would be behind bars. Also, don't read too much into SCOTUS: we've seen some very Liberal rulings from Kavanaugh & Amy Coney Barrett, like the one a few weeks ago about one of the Trump cases (I'm forgetting the details). Also don't forget that all 3 of them - Gorsuch, Kavanaugh & Barrett - rejected the Texas AG's petition challenging the electoral votes of Pennsylvania that were done by changing the rules w/o legislative approval (something that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court later found out). You have 4 corrupt officials - Jack Smith, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Fannie Willis pulling completely fraudulent cases, while similar crimes by the Bidens is totally glossed over. I believe we are headed for another civil war
As for both nominees being bad, it's just a moral equivalence that people w/o a clue make so that they're not berated by people w/ TDS. When it comes to India, you're happy to turn a blind eye to anything bad the BJP does bcos.... development, but somehow, you wanna ignore even greater achievements by Trump? When he was POTUS, we had the lowest levels of unemployment for every group one can imagine - women, Blacks, Hispanics, what have you. He turned the US from a net energy importer to one of the largest, if not the largest, energy exporters by unlocking ANWR, removing regulations to allow fracking, the Abraham Accords, decimating ISIS, attempting to normalize relations w/ Russia & so on. He gets dinged on Covid for things that under the Tenth Amendment are state issues: it was upto every state whether to lock-down or not, but that's pinned on him. As for India, he was very fair to, and supportive of India, although the arm-wrestling on trade issues, such as Harley, is something any patriotic leader should wanna do. India was much better off when he was POTUS, and not groveling before the likes of Qatar, Turkey, Palestine, voting against Israel in the UN and so on
To make things worse, there are a whole bunch of establishment Republicans like Liz Cheney, Nikki Haley, Chris Christie, et al who still live in a time warp in the 80s, who are in a position to sabotage the GOP. The only saving grace right now are the 2 extra candidates on the Left - RFK Jr and Cornel West. Hopefully, RFK vacuums up the Jewish vote and Cornel West the muslim vote, so that Republicans aren't desperate for the support of RINOs come November
