    I think you've made the mistake of overestimating American voters.

    Everything has an equal and opposite reaction. The GOP throwing in with a foreign power is incredibly dangerous, and it opens the door for the Democrats out of necessity to reach out to other foreign powers to counter. That is a bit part of my point about the doomsday scenario even though I think it's unlikely, and much more likely the Republicans just do it solely with the help of Rupert Murdoch and right wing billionaires just trying to buy another house in the Hamptons.

    all I'm pointing out you are still asking where will Russia be and arm of the GOP when in the past 4 years the opposite has been obvious.

    Ideally there will be a civil war between those that yell at others for not wearing a mask, and those that talk **** to you for wearing a mask. They will hopefully kill each other off and leave the moderates to run the country.

    Are you saying that Russia has not been aligned with the GOP in any way? Even if you remove Trump, the destruction of Western Democracy, and all of that, at the very least Russia and the GOP/Right Wing Oligarchs will be aligned on drilling in the Artic which is reason enough for the right to align with Russia. The only issue that they differ on now is Guns.

    Most of Russia is cold bitter fossil fuel-rich wasteland that could benefit from climate change disruption.

    I don't think this is serious but climate change isn't completely a positive for Russia. Much of Siberia is permafrost and as that is melting the ground is getting unstable. Thawing permafrost is literally causing the ground to explode in parts of Siberia.

    Let's not forget the melting permafrost releasing aliens that crashed thousands of years ago.

    Or more ideally, moderates will figure out that the two sides aren't equivalent and will stand up for something for once instead of whining.

    This is D&D. I care more about it being a few degrees hotter than a bunch of aliens invading our soil.

    No, but the country is moving on from religion and rural viewpoints, and those people will continue to be marginalized year after year until their voice is a thing of the past.

    People that voted for Trump in 2020 shouldn’t be allowed to procreate.

    Don’t worry most of them are either too old or too impotent to do so.

    If Trump runs again the don't pay much attention thing goes out of the Window.

    He could win because I see Harris turning off a lot of voters like Clinton did and you have a strain of progressives that want to prove a point.

    I would like to think people would come out in droves to vote against Trump but then I realize if no covid he probably would have won.:confused:

    Also Democrats will not be so united.

    You say that now until our children come back from 30 years in the future to let us know that humanity is almost wiped out by Aliens that first appeared in Siberia.
