Politics and other BS.

So I'm watching the election results Mr. Trump looks like he has lost, but he is hanging on 'till the very end.  That's what winners do, even when they're losing.  

    I admire Trump. He is a successful businessman, and so far as I can see, is a man of his word. Mr Biden is the perennial candidate.  He has run for the presidency several times, and lost.  Now, he seems to have won all the marbles.
     do not belong to either of the major political parties, and didn't vote for either Trump nor Biden. so I have no skin in the game, other than the outcome of the election will affect, not only the election and the world.

  Seems like the Democrat machine has pulled out all the stops, and has won the game. It will be pretty close to a tie in the electoral vote. If nothing else, it's interesting to watch.

    I am hearing the word "democracy" being used a lot by the left.  In truth, democracy, and pure communism are the same thing, in that they both operate on the total consensuses of the people. It is a noble thought, but in reality, it doesn't work. 

    The system is always promoted by, and taken over by an authoritative leader, and the dream vanishes. I cannot think of any country where that has not happened. Problem is, the leader usually turns into a despot. The Roman Caesars, most European kings, Hitler Mao, Pol Pot, Edie Amin,  and an just about any others that  you can name. If that leader is not despotic, his successor usually is.

    I am thinking that this is about to happen. This time it is not Colonel So and So, it will be the new president, or his second in command.

    If Trump manages to squeak out a victory, it will be a while before that happens, I don't think the Republicans have the powerful machine with a razor sharp propaganda arm to accomplish that end.  In any case, In the words of the once popular song, I'll tip my hat to the new constitution. Take a bow for the new revolution. Smile and grin at the change all around. Pick up my guitar and play. Just like yesterday. Then I'll get on my knees and pray. We don't get fooled again. 

    I don't mean to be negative, as I am primarily a positive person. These are my thoughts on the coming administration.
