Don's peeps are not in the streets every night doing arson looting. It's all on your team. But look at it this way, if the US really does a split, you will get to reap the whirlwind in person.

I read the Handmaids tale years ago, and looked at the video presentations of the book, and noted that the author, Margaret Atwood, and saw the differences in premise. In Atwood's book, it was the annihilation of modern civilization that sent the world backwards, and that dark age was brought upon by a nuclear war, tween, Reagan's American, and the old USSR. The filmed version was changed to reflect pollution as the villain, and now the series is to reflect a climate change disaster. By the way, Bruno, remember, as I know you must all the claims from physicists that a nuclear war will ensue if NATO placed Pershing missiles in western Europe to counteract the Soviets placing mobile SS-18's & 20's. This threat of Nuclear Winter was also served to us, by the single-sided disarmament groups (Pro-Soviets). So, we'd not only be incinerated in a nuclear fire but we'd also be frozen to death after we were all already dead.Some of these were scientists who promoted this, indicating to me, that scientist's political leanings can overcome their best analytical capacities. In the US, the democrats (I used to be a life-long one!) has given themselves up to a shared, autocratic form of government (I assert) that is simply a Junta composed of street Stalinists, who seem to be funded by Crony Capitalist billionaires. It's also, at least here in the States, similar, to their take on Climate Change which unlike the EU isn't focusing on Green Hydrogen as a replacement energy form (initiated by wind turbines at Sea), and have nothing but opposition to say, uranium fission, or natural gas. Nothing will keep their cities and states lighted, except wishing thinking on their part. I will always take a callous, rationalist, like Orange Dude, over psychotic, idealists, that my democrats have become. The true dystopia is not Atwood's HandMaids, but the democrat areas, where their fascists run the streets. Portland is still afire... Democrats as psychotic idealists? I think you're in dire need of emergency brain surgery. Can you describe a single police reform the US federal government has approved under Trump since Floyd was murdered in plain sight?

She is a member of an extreme right wing Catholic cult called "The People of Praise"; they speak in tongues, believe in biblical prophecy, and in divine healing. Members of the cult swear a lifetime oath of allegiance to one another and are assigned a ideology coach called a “head” for men and a “HANDMAID” for women to make sure nobody strays from the official dogma. The "heads" and "handmaids" issue orders on who to date, who to marry, where to live, whether to take a job, whether to buy a home, and how to raise children. Part of the ideology of People of Praise is that husbands should give orders to their wives and only men should have authority over the family. During her confirmation hearing in 2017 to be a federal judge Barrett said "I take my faith seriously and I’m a faithful Catholic". In 2013 she said: "I tend to agree with those who say that a Justice’s duty is to the Constitution and that it is thus more legitimate for her to enforce her best understanding of the Constitution rather than a precedent she thinks clearly in conflict with it"; and as a judge she approved a Indiana law banning abortions of a deformed fetus (although her opinion was later overturned by a higher court and the Indiana law ruled unconstitutional). So when she is approved Roe v. Wade Will be as dead as a doornail and we're back to the 1950's and coathanger abortions. Barrett also criticized Chief Justice Roberts for his opinion that saved Obama’s Affordable Care Act; so in the middle of a global pandemic the health care coverage of tens of millions of people will be as dead as a doornail too when she hears her first case on October 10. To those who claim Barrett's religious views will not effect her legal opinions I will remind you that in 2006 she said “If you can keep in mind that your fundamental purpose in life is not to be a lawyer, but to know, love and serve God, you truly will be a different kind of lawyer.” Amy Coney Barret would also be the youngest justice on the bench, so she could be around for many decades. What does keep me awake at night is that Trump has the Senate, the AG on his side, and now even the Supreme Court. Even before the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I was not sure how could possibly Trump fail to keep power in November. Barr exonerated Trump after Mueller Reports (through a big lie) on his 2016 cheating, and then the Republican Senators acquitted him for his cheating in the 2020 election (involving Ukraine). That last one was pitiful, as the Republicans did mock all the evidences as being just “second-hand evidences” and then when they got the opportunity to listen to the first-hand evidences, they dismissed it entirely. The last remaining hope for democracy (in the US and thus plausibly in the whole world) *was* that Trump (who will never say that he lost the election, right?) would have been obliged at some point to go to the Courts, and to the Supreme Court, and, with Ruth B. Ginsburg, the court could have ruled against Trump, but now, it looks there is no hope at all. Trump has a powerful support from all the international criminals, not mentioning his friends Putin, Erdogan, Kim-Youn-Un, and many others. I have never been a fan of the Leftists (so ignorant, notably on the Middle-East situation), but I have not, for one second, believe that Trump has the interest of the American people in mind.We have to say that Trump is a pretty brilliant con man; he is an expert liar. And he will never leave the power. He hates to much the looser to be one, and, for him, the difference is between being free and above the law, or going to jail. He will do *anything* to not, never, leave the Power. Amy is extreme right wing conservative, we will see if she will defend her faith, or her ideology, like the evangelist who admit Trump is everything except a believer, but still vote for him for his promise against abortion, and similar, and I suppose she would know that, and introspect herself a little bit, and be honest. The Indiana action gives a bit of hope, thanks… I say this to keep an atom of hope ,and that we are not witnessing the end of democracy, and the end of the rules of law, in the US and then everywhere, which would lead to a millenium more of obscurantism. Democracy (like today in the US, Israel and Europa) is basically the only progress in the applied human sciences since the closure of Plato Academy. I think that if we lose democracy, we will regress far more than up to 1950, I’m afraid. The vote of November in the US is not about left/right, but really between democracy/tyranny. Tyran never accepts a defavorable election result, and Trump warn us everyday, and prepare us, to "a fait accompli” with the outrageous help of his AG (Barr). His incapacity to defend the idea of a peaceful transition, in case he loses, is an admission. Even in his 2016 campaign, he said already that he will accept the result of the vote … if he win.
