    Does election integrity affect the confidence in the Democratic System? Does using the criminal justice system against your political opponent affect the confidence in the Democratic System? Does strange or unusual vote totals affect confidence in the Democratic System? In the United States, there was 129.3 million votes in 2008, 126.8 million votes in 2012, 128.7 million votes in 2016 and 155.4 million votes in 2020, so where did these extra 27.6 million votes in 2020 come from?

    • @johnking5433
      @johnking5433 Год назад +2

      The additional votes came from more people voting in 2020 than they did in 2016, for both Biden and Trump. 11.2 million more people voted for Trump and 15.4 million more for Biden than Clinton in 2016.

      @@johnking5433 yes, there were over 25 million more votes counted in 2020 than 2016. Are you aware that Donald Trump received more votes as an incumbent than he received in 2016 as a Presidential candidate? Are you aware that no incumbent President who gets more votes for his second term has ever lost except Donald Trump? Is it equally strange that no one ever talks about these strange vote totals or getting more votes in Trump’s second term and losing? I assure you if this happened to a Democrat President this is all we would be talking about. The political hypocrisy and double standard that always favors the Democrats are extremely troubling and draws us closer to chaos.

    • @Cant_find_good_Handle
      @Cant_find_good_Handle 2 месяца назад

      Just read that one. The nationalization of politics, the direct election of senators, and the cultural division between republicans and democrats leads to a two party division that is shockingly similar in most states.
      There are differences like educated whites in Mississippi and Alabama vote more conservatively than the rest of the country due to racial polarization in the state politics. And places like Wisconsin Whites in rural areas are to the right but not yet to the same degree as neighboring states like Iowa. Overall we have two clearly distinctive factions that share ideas digitally online. And a state like Utah is a bit of a cultural outlier that led to a 3rd party candidate getting a high percentage of the vote in 2016.
      But in general the working class vs elite divide and the racial divide are fairly similar throughout most of the country. So I would not agree with Madison’s assertion that a republic with multiple spread out state governments would prevent a fraction from being able to gain power.
      The main argument against this notion is the fact that the left is encouraging predominantly non white immigration to the US, and then paying for the housing, stipends, and transportation to blue states. These migrants will count in the 2030 census potential shifting Gerrymandered house seat and electoral votes to the left making them a permeant majority power like in California. Because citizens on the right view this as an existential threat to permeant lose of power a mainstream succession movement working thru rightwing state governments is feasible.
      It would take someone with charisma, and be based on politics rather than race to work. But if the left succeeds in this election and opens the boarder back up a large unified movement across several red states to succeed is feasible.
      If done smartly with a quick succession of several states and without allowing white nationalist militia types any key roles or power in the process such a outcome is not preventable because we have a diverse republic.

    • @Cant_find_good_Handle
      @Cant_find_good_Handle 2 месяца назад

      Also, I believe such a succession could be done mostly peacefully because the military, and especially the most competent combat arms officers, lean to the right. A succession army of Army and Air national guardsmen and veterans would be a defensive tool to intermediate the union from trying to go to war to prevent the succession. Unlike the 1860’s military combined arms and logistical knowledge requires more training and experience to master. A disproportionate amount of Army Officers and enlisted come from counties that vote 70 plus precent for Trump.
      So unlike 1860 there would be little political will for the Union to attack any succeeding states as most would align with the views of those succeeding. The only way the left would be able to raise an army that would try to invade a 4 or 5 state separatist movement would be to do so with drafted recent migrants. But even though this has been tried in history and even been a successful tactic by Tyrants in Rome and elsewhere modern warfare would give a dramatic advantage to the more trained and competent force seeking only to defend there states to form a new government. So the last method a leftwing union government could try is to stoke riots in minority majority urban areas that vote disproportionately democrat. So such states succeeding could be strategic and after succession give back some, but not all of there territories to the union. So a state that is 60 republican/ 40 democrat would become 80 to 85 republican / 15 to 20 democrat.
      An example would be if Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, and Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama were part of a set of states to succeed. Memphis and part of west Kentucky could be given to Illinois in order to dramatically tilt Tennessee further right. And this would make it harder for the left to attempt to stoke racial riots. But practically speaking in most areas tough laws against rioters in inter cities and encouraging migration in and out of the states based on ideology could help prevent uprisings from leftwing activists. But the again is where the governments taking a mainstream approach and not aligning with extremism would be the correct path forward. As long as people know they will have the same rights and be treated fairly under the law insurgencies would be less likely. Especially if deportations were a punishment for violent rioting.

    Just nit picking here. The probability of an event happening is NOT the probability of the event for each trial times the number of trials. She said that a 4% probability give a 40% chance of civil war after 10 years, and an 80% chance after 20 years. By her logic, after 40 years the probability of a civil war would be 160%. Probabilities cannot go higher than 100%. It has been a long, long time since my last prob/stats course, but if I am doing it right, after 10 years the probability is 34%, after 20 years it is 56%, and after 40 years it is only 80%. Someone check my numbers please.

  • @haroldbridges515
    @haroldbridges515 Год назад +6

    I think she is making a mistake by not distinguishing between civil wars and wars of independence. In a true civil war both sides are contending for permanent control of the central government, such as in the English and Russian Civil Wars. The Confederacy never had the goal of taking control of the entire American government and so, by this standard, was a war of independence, not a civil war. For example, the Algerian war of independence has never been called a civil war even though Algeria was actually a département of France, not a colony. The reason is that the Algerian independence movement never aimed to take over the government of France.
    I assume that designating the Secession as a civil war was Orwellian-speak from the Union government at the time for whom it was essential to avoid characterizing the conflict as a war of independence, since after all the American foundational document, the Declaration of Independence, is in its entirety a justification for wars of independence. Lincoln did this, for example, in his Gettysburg Address when he warns that "that government of the people... shall not perish from this earth," thereby distorting the war aims of the Confederacy for propaganda purposes.

      The Confederacy was in fact looking to knock out Washington and take over the entirety of the USA and as much of North America as they could get their hands on. So it was a Civil War. If the South just wanted to be independent, they wouldn't have tried to capture Washington and march into Pennsylvania. They needed their teeth kicked in and that's what they got. Seems like they might be wanting to go 0-2 in the near future. We're all full of find-out over here.

      You think if the confederacy won they wouldnt have taken control of everything? They would've 100% taken over everything. So instead of thinking of it as their independence thats like a dog whistle for pro confederacy. I think the key thing about that is not what one side says. Look at the whole picture we are riding between two choices one is an extreme the other is not.

    Personally I think the best way to get rid of radicalism and reduce the chances of violence is to have better public education. With better education people are more able to decide for themselves that radical organizations are not healthy for society or for democracy. People often forget that quality public education is a very important component to democracy. It isn't just about having elections.

      In fact, I think #2 can just go without saying and doesn't need anyone with a book deal or some shady clandestine professional history to verify.
      Citizens dividing + democratic system not working = civil war
      It even seems common sense. How she's made a whole career - a ton of money and now some wide personal publicity - just by saying it in a book and in speaking groups - this is a bit whacky. Although I wouldn't blame anyone for doing the same things in the same position if they needed the money
      I think the mannerisms in the way she speaks perhaps due to whichever field and environment she goes through just makes the idea sound lackadaisical and windy
      I mean, Shrek can say those two things making civil war, and people will still connect the dots out there of what they see and generally agree
