[about this site]

United States: well... that's going to take some processing... clearly there are some issues which appear to be stark contradictions but for the voters don't seem to be. People who say that a good economy is the #1 priority, yet are unhappy when the stock markets, inflation, unemployment and just about every other measure indicate that things are going extremely well. People who say that healthcare and welfare payments are the #1 priority, yet vote for those who plan on destroying those very systems. Immigrants and relatives of immigrants voting for those who promise to implement the biggest deportation scheme ever seen. People who say they can't vote Democrat because of their policy on Palestine, yet vote for others whose polices are starkly, starkly worse for Palestine. People who say that "law & order" and "respect for the Constitution" is the #1 priority and yet vote for a convicted felon who appears to have NO respect for the current Constitution or the protections offered by the separation of powers. People who insist that Chinese companies will pay a 200% tariff on their products to be able to export to the US — just think for a second how selling a product and then paying double that price as a tariff makes any sense at all.

One thing we know though, is that if an angry, armed mob attack the Capitol in a violent attempt to prevent the transfer of power in January (and we all hope that doesn't happen), then those people will be deemed by Trump to be heroic patriots and will be immediately pardoned.

Advent of Code: coming soon, collecting stars in order to find the missing snow, or something :) will be hoping to improve on last year's finishing position of 1925.
