The guy is a little bit dumb. Isn't he? His suggestion is to flee to Europe? A place where most so called conservatives are more liberal than the Democrats. Well, he may be talking about Hungary or Poland?

when we listen to the american democrats talk in europe...they sound super "fascist" I´m not saying they are, but some of their ideas are very radical for us (radical, in a right winged radical way)

There's a segment of the Democratic party that sounds that way, yes. But it's a much smaller percentage than what the vast majority of Republicans sound like these days. That party has gone so batshit crazy that it's astonishing HOW many people still vote for it.

There are some very dangerous right wing parties in EU, lets not kid ourselves. Id argue they are MORE dangerous than the republicans, because if left alone, they could push for the next EU country exiting the EU. Having many European countries that quarrel among themselves is a very dark situation, if history is any indication. At the same time republicans may be crazy, but USA is still one country. Its time for United States of Europe!

Of course they are. Good luck with that. 

If nepotism was a crime, the prisons would be overflowing white collar yuppies. And that's mostly what this is. Was there some shady shit going on with Hunter? For sure. Impeachable? Not even close.

If I had to answer today: No, I don't think so. 

Trumps support is rock solid. Biden's support is squishy. The rage on the other side - at this point - is likely put him over the top. I think it's incredibly dangerous to underestimate Trump. He's over performed the polls in two national elections and his base is so white hot with anger over these indictments that they'll move heaven and earth to vote for him. 

But.... Biden too, has been underestimated. He won the nomination and the presidency and his party VASTLY overperformed in the midterms. 

So if I had to answer if he'll be re-elected NEXT November? It's a total coin toss. Both of these men are one fall, trip, gaff, lawsuit, investigation, or camera freeze from winning or losing in 2024. PLUS - RFK is launching an independent bid for President. Throw in Cornell West who's running in the Green Party and you have one of the wildest and most unpredictable U.S Presidential races we may see in decades. 

Next year is going to be awful.

Thank you guys. We are very concerned here in Brazil and afraid with a possible Trump's return. Hope Biden can manage the economy well and get a lot of support.
