@georgeob1,
Quote:How is it that you, apparently alone, know the future so well?
I'm not predicting the future, I'm criticizing your interpretation of current political events and the astigmatic ideology which leads you to consistently overplay your rhetorical hand.
Quote:Unlike you, I don't claim certainty in all of this...
The only thing I'm certain of is that we'll be facing a completely different set of conditions in such a short time that coming to conclusions about the future based on the news of the last two months is foolish. Your boosterism is not so much detached from reality as it is distortive of reality.
Quote: However, the evidence indicating widespread and growing public dissatisfcaction with left-leaning "liberal" governments is abundant and growing.
The widespread dissatisfaction is with
incumbency. There were more liberal democracies among the developed nations, thus more liberal governments to get thrown out. Remember, at one time they all got voted in! In order to prevent the seesawing between left and right every election cycle authoritarians like Orban emerge and work to limit the power of voters. It will be interesting to see how the Republicans approach voting rights now that they believe themselves to gain from larger voter turnout. But I'm not making any predictions.
