Except there won't be a 2022 if biden goes through because elections from then on will be just for show. If that happens, we might as well escape to Alaska and turn that into America's Taiwan...

The very concept of race in humans is arbitrary and artificial. It has no grounding in reality. It comes from back when Europeans were colonizing the rest of the planet and had to rationalize why it was OK for them to take over and rule over the locals.

Because saying: "those people are just like us but we're the bosses because we've got the good guns" was not enough. Plus it was convenient to convince the locals that they were lesser beings, makes it easier for them to accept their fate.

What defines a race in your eyes? Skin color? Jew is not a skin color.

I see nothing wrong in saying that people from certain region of the world, or ethnic group, tend to share specific physical characteristics. For example when it comes to milk allergy, or sickle cell anemia. That's not a race though, at least not the way race is thrown daily to categorize people by skin color.

There is no racial difference at a biological level because there is no biological grounding in the concept of race. Some people convince themselves that the earth is flat with arguments they find compelling. Others are convinced there are 100 different genders with similarly compelling arguments to them. And some are convinced there are different races.

I've read people claiming here that black people in the US commit more crimes by virtue of them being black. And other similar crap like that. Correlation is not causation.

I've always enjoyed watching videos of people interviewing protesters in the street is the stark difference between the lefties screaming insults and platitudes vs the conservatives who were willing to have a dialog and could express coherent thoughts.

I encourage you to do some research and learn.

I have little hope of affecting your point of view but I'll bite anyways...

The suffix "ist" means someone who supports, believes, promotes something. So when you support grouping people by race, that makes you racist, by definition.

Now, what's the problem with that? Well, for starter claiming humanity is split into races implies differences between those races, otherwise what would distinguish them from each other? It's then a slippery slope that leads to thinking that some races are better than others. But that's really just a cheap way to let your ignorance lose and give in to xenophobia.

You're saying it's OK to group people by race and you lump that in with "criticizing the Jews" but what makes them a race? Have you heard of Ethiopian jews? Are they of the jewish race or the black race? Speaking of Ethiopians, do you their dark skins make them the same as everyone else with dark skin? Is it all just about skin color?

The concept of race is as dumb as the idea of having many genders. It only serves to divide people and focus them on the wrong thing. In other word, divide to conquer. Which is exactly what the democrats do: opportunistically break people down into groups and finding someone to blame for their situation.

I noticed in France they started saying "political islam" instead of "radical islam" so it's still all the same crap. They won't just say "islam", perpetuating the myth of the religion of peace or the "moderate islam" which does not exist.

All he's doing is posturing, letting out some steam out of the pot so it doesn't boil over. But until the West openly calls islam out for what it is: a conquering religion that is incompatible with our culture and hostile to other beliefs, and until they ban it outright, the problems will remain and fester.

Frankly, it doesn't look like the US fares any better. The main advantage being that it's impossible for hordes of muslim "refugees" to walk or boat here. Otherwise it would be just as bad because I don't see anyone mainstream openly calling out islam without a prefix of some sort.

I'm beginning to get seriously excited about 2021,

I really hope that Giuliani and his deplorables go scorched earth on this. Imagine all the local elections affected by all this fraud too. I hope they don't stop at the 270 but they finally find the FBI, "or some new agency" as he said, to get to the bottom of this.

Then add the Hunter laptop and all the other crap we here have all known about for the past 4 years.

Then add to this the Venezuela link, and other affected countries. I bet quite a few people in Argentina are about to get seriously angry right now.

A second Trump term free of interference from all the traitorous dems... hell my 401k would go up 30% yearly minimum

First, she wasn't cheated of anything, she completely got trounced during her debate by Macron. She will never be president because there is too much stigma about her party and any time it makes it to the second round of the presidential election, everyone else bands against her.

Also, prime ministers don't get elected in France, they get picked by the president out of the majority from the national assembly (equivalent to the house in the US).

By the way here are a few things that make the French electoral system different from the US:

  • mandatory voter card (plus ID in larger communities)
  • paper ballots only
  • in-person vote only
  • the medias must give equal air time to all candidates
  • the press cannot publish polls just before the election (a week if I recall), including exit polls until all polling stations are closed.
  • votes are counted at each polling station, the evening of the election.

All of this together makes French elections quite secure because a large scale fraud operation would be quite difficult to organize. Which means me and my countrymen can only blame ourselves for all the morons we've been electing all those years...

tl;dr the only thing accurate about this meme is that it is Marine Le Pen in the photo...

well if they are really planning on doing that, surely they're snooping in here and will come up with some other way to distinguish each other.
