Right-wing leadership has repeatedly failed to deliver peace or prosperity.

From rising division to economic mismanagement, the results speak for themselves.

Take the U.S. as an example:
Trump’s MAGA movement promised greatness—but delivered chaos. His leadership left the economy unstable and the nation more divided than ever.

Meanwhile, many right-wingers (including Setnaffarians) love taking jabs at China.

But here’s the irony:
At the rate Trump is damaging the U.S., China won’t need to out compete America—he’s doing the work for them.

If we want a future built on unity, progress, and real strength, we must stop empowering leaders who thrive on division and regression.

The solution is simple: don’t vote the right-wingers into power.

Peace and Prosperity

It is not accurate to say right-wing leadership has “repeatedly failed to deliver peace or prosperity.” Many right-leaning governments—across different countries and eras—have presided over periods of growth, stability, and reform:

Economic Strength (Pre-COVID Trump Era):
Before the pandemic, the U.S. experienced historic lows in unemployment, rising wages, and record stock market performance under the Trump administration. GDP growth in 2018 reached 2.9%, and minority unemployment hit all-time lows.

Peace Abroad:
Trump pursued a non-interventionist foreign policy compared to past administrations. Notably:

He did not start new wars, a rare trait among modern presidents.

Initiated Abraham Accords, normalizing relations between Israel and Arab states.

Pressured NATO allies to meet their defense spending obligations, strengthening Western alliances.

In Trump’s second term, he has set realistic military and geopolitical goals and has accomplished them quickly or is clearly on a pathway to accomplishing them. Unlike past administrations, he has defined victory.

Division and Polarization

Division in American politics is not the exclusive product of right-wing leadership. The U.S. has been increasingly polarized since the 1990s, with media fragmentation and online echo chambers exacerbating the issue. Blaming one party or leader for this trend ignores the deep, bipartisan nature of the divide.

Furthermore:

Accusations of division can be applied to both sides. For instance, rhetoric painting all conservatives as threats to democracy contributes to the same polarization it claims to denounce.

Unity is not built by silencing half the population—it is built by engaging them.

China and Global Competition

It’s misleading to suggest that critiques of China are hypocritical or irrelevant. The concerns about China’s human rights abuses, aggressive trade practices, authoritarian surveillance model, and growing China-centric global influence and exploitation are bipartisan and legitimate.

Trump’s approach, while combative, reflected a broader Western realignment in recognizing China as a strategic rival. Many of his first-term trade policies were still in place under the Biden administration and are further developing to America’s benefit.

Economic decoupling and industrial reshoring began under Trump’s first term, continued through the Biden administration, and are being successfully expanded. This is a bipartisan effort.

Call to Avoid Voting for Right-Wingers

Democracy thrives on informed choice, not ideological purity tests. Suggesting an outright ban on voting for one side of the political spectrum—regardless of local context, candidate, or issue—undermines the democratic process.

Many right-leaning leaders at local and national levels are reformers, centrists, or fiscal conservatives with pragmatic goals.

The idea that one political “wing” is inherently flawed ignores the reality that both left and right ideologies offer valuable perspectives.

Conclusion

The future of any country depends on balanced, thoughtful leadership—not blanket rejection of one side. Voters deserve nuanced analysis and open discussion, not polarizing generalizations. History shows that both right- and left-wing governments can either succeed or fail, depending on context, execution, and accountability.

The right of self-defense is still not codified in law; but a step in the right direction was taken, nonetheless. Now all they need is a Korean “Bill of Rights”.

Setnaffa, it starts with letting women bite off tongues for attempted ràpe and ends with them demanding castration for guys who glance toward their microskirt and 5 inch heels.

This is a just outcome, but we must keep a close eye on it all.

We should change the +/- likes to two distinct categories of thumbs up and thumbs down.

Then we can get a feel for how many people liked a comment and how many times Korea Thing(s) and socks got their panties twisted.

I would be really satisfied if the thumbs down was a big number because I actually prefer that kind of attention.

The Dimocratic Party just self-owned.

They posted “Trump’s America” concerning grocery prices.

For those of you unfamiliar with graphs, they clearly showed Biden was to blame.

To their credit, they they did take it down when the Republican Party made fun of them.

So the Dims may or may not be trainable in the long term but they do recognize short-term ridicule.

Bonus: Therapists say their patients ar 90% liberals.

Leftism is a mental illness.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/25/covid-vaccines-saved-fewer-lives-than-first-thought/

Vaccines prevented around 2.5 million deaths globally during 2020–2024—far less than the 14.4 million deaths estimated by earlier WHO projections (lies) for just the first year.

9 in 10 lives saved were among people aged 60+, with minimal benefit in under‑30s:

~299 lives saved under age 20

~1,808 saved in ages 20–30

The under-30 lives were all people with other serious health problems. So were the people over 60. Healthy people didn’t die.

The article was:

– Published in JAMA Health Forum, a respected peer-reviewed journal.

– Lead author John Ioannidis is a well-known epidemiology expert with a history of critical analysis in medicine. (Stanford)

– Uses transparent modeling approaches, with sensitivity ranges and age-stratified results.

Now, let’s look at the cost of saving ~2100 under-30 lives (all of which had serious health problems).

Hundreds of thousands of needless cases of heart inflamation in people who gained ZERO benefit for the vaccine.

What Happens After Inflammation?

When myocarditis occurs, white blood cells attack heart tissue. Muscle cells die and are replaced with fibrotic scar tissue that is non-contractile (can’t pump) and disruptive to electrical conduction (arrhythmias).

Over time, this contributes to reduced ejection fraction (lower pumping capacity) and heart failure in aging individuals which leads to an increased mortality risk (at a younger age).

Even if the heart “recovers” and the patient feels fine, microscopic scar tissue will remain permanently.

Pre-COVID Consensus on Myocarditis:

Before 2020, peer-reviewed medical literature consistently stated any myocarditis, even “mild”, was considered a serious condition.

Emergency treatment was recommended due to risk of sudden cardiac arrest, especially in young adults and athletes as well as the potential for long-term damage (scarring/fibrosis). Physical activity was strictly restricted for 3–6 months to avoid worsening injury.

“Even minimal myocardial inflammation can result in lasting damage and should not be underestimated.”

— European Heart Journal, 2017

I have read hundreds of papers and I can give you hundreds of quotes that all say the same thing.

Post-Covid Narrative on Myocrditus:

After the rollout of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, especially among younger populations, an increase in myocarditis and pericarditis cases, particularly in males aged 12 to 29, was detected and widely acknowledged. In response, public health agencies and much of the medical literature adopted a common refrain: “While exceedingly rare, most cases of vaccine-associated myocarditis are mild and resolve on their own.” This phrase, or variations of it, became nearly ubiquitous in both government and media reporting.

I can likely find 100 examples of this phrase in papers and reporting.

Again, this narrative is misleading for several reasons. First, the term “mild” in a medical context often refers to the absence of immediate life-threatening symptoms, not the absence of long-term consequences. While many patients experience a resolution of acute symptoms, such as chest pain or elevated troponin levels, within days or weeks, the critical question is whether subclinical cardiac damage persists, particularly in the form of fibrosis or scarring visible on MRI.

Lomg-term studies are not being funded, likely becasue studies that conducted imaging found persistent abnormalities in a significant number of cases, even among those who felt recovered.

As I state over and over in new and exciting ways, cardiac scarring, even when small, can impair electrical conduction and reduce heart efficiency over time. As people age and natural cardiac function declines, any reduction in reserve due to earlier inflammation may become clinically significant.

And again, pre-COVID cardiology literature treated myocarditis seriously, even asymptomatic or “mild” cases, due to its association with arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, and sudden cardiac death, particularly in young athletes. The abrupt pivot post-COVID to describing such inflammation as “mostly benign” represents a break from that precedent.

This rhetorical shift appears less grounded in long-term evidence and more influenced by the urgent political and economic need to reassure the public and maintain vaccine uptake. As of now, there is no comprehensive longitudinal dataset tracking outcomes of vaccine-associated myocarditis over decades. Therefore, confidently labeling it “mild and self-resolving” is premature, and possibly negligent. The precautionary principle would suggest treating these cases with greater seriousness until long-term data are available.

But they won’t.

All this informtion is out there to verify.

And it was out there before you shortened your life and the life of your children.

And you freakin Ugly American foreigners are also getting the money courtesy of Korean taxpayers. And what do you say to that? Plus, the US government is demanding that South Korea give the US, $450 billion in free money to develop US industries, in return for 15% tariffs instead of 25%. The amount of grift and graft the American government and the American society have right now, I don’t think you people deserve anything other than more contempt. This may sound harsh, but the Americans have no respect for other countries, so why should I care?

I say maybe I have misjudged this whole communism thing people go on about. Are there any other leftist candidates I can vote for who will loot the treasury and hand it to me?

“Plus, the US government is demanding that South Korea give the US, $450 billion in free money to develop US industries, in return for 15% tariffs instead of 25%. The amount of grift and graft the American government and the American society have right now, I don’t think you people deserve anything other than more contempt.”

Do you really think trade negotiations based on economic reality is grift and graft? Where was this opinion when Korea was getting a sweatheart deal at the expense of American business and citizens?

“This may sound harsh, but the Americans have no respect for other countries, so why should I care?”

Everything you say sounds harsh… like fingenails on the chalkboard of society.

Nonetheless, America has generously absorbed unfair trade deals, offered investment, offshored industry, accepted unbalanced tariffs, and many other concessions yet much of the world still hates America (while wanting to live in America). When America wants to be on the other end of that deal, “America has no respect.”

Everything will become easier to understand when you consider that America no longer cares about your feelings.

Put on your big boy pants, make a list of what you can offer and accept, get your calculator out, and find your place¹.

¹And start making a plan how to get ahead of other countries in your new relationship with America… lots of opportunity here for those who act instead of whine.

Remember, trolls are NOT here (or any other web site) to debate their talking points in good faith. Their sole purpose is to stimulate a negative emotional response in you. They are sexually aroused by it. Do not take their bait. Do not feed into their warped egos.

I honestly pity the trolls who come here to stir up trouble. Their lives are so devoid of meaning and substance that they derive pleasure from causing misery in others. They need to find a genuine hobby that gives them inner peace and satisfaction.

Turning their lives over to Jesus would be a good start.

Ha! “Brokering” is not the word I would use. It implies he is acting as an unbiased third party and helping them resolve their issues.

Instead, he is trying to force them to shut down their conflict while leaving the issurs completely unresolved.

This could be the shortest path to getting everyone to calm down on his watch with the appearance of peace…

But it fits so well with other geopolitical goal that it could be a 4D chess move.

Ideally, all reasons for Asian conflict, from Nagorno-Karabakh to the Kiril Islands, need to stay in place to ensure the coming world war causes maximum disruption.

This supports Trump’s apparent strategy of keeping America out of direct war, letting (helping) everyone destroy each other to resolve their differences all at one time, and then being the only viable economy to help everyone rebuild (in exchange for a perpetual piece of their action). The national debt will be minuscule in comparison to the American economy.

This is a brillian plan… if it works.

Those with the greatest chance of sabotaging it are Americans… and not the good ones fighting for American best interests.

Keep an eye on this.

It’s disturbing how some groups, such as the Setnaffarians, seem more interested in clinging to racist fantasies and economic exploitation than building a fair future. They cheer as long as it feels like they’re winning, even if it costs them healthcare and dignity.

It is clear that Trump plays to the fantasy of a whites-only America and foreign ‘toughness,’ and the MAGA voters lap it up—even if it means losing their own Medicare and benefits. That’s how deep the illusion runs.

That’s how mindless the Setnaffarians are.

“It’s disturbing how some groups, such as the Setnaffarians, seem more interested in clinging to racist fantasies and economic exploitation than building a fair future.”

There is no “fair”. There are only rewards for cultures that do things correctly and self-punishment for cultures that do not.

While “white” culture has been dominate for some time due to good values, it is unraveling in many areas due to self-destructive insanity. What is not spoken is that the educated (not indoctrinated) and productive elite are doing quite well. Bonus thought: Americans of any race or ethnicity can succeed by following “white” culture, which all Americans are encouraged to appropriate. Comparative Culturalism is something we can discuss a lot more.

East Asia is ascending becasue they are chasing prosperity rather than global warming and tranny children.

At this time, many Latin and Black cultures refuse to do things correctly, many times because white people are doing it. “Studying is too white” is a perfect example of this cultural self-destruction.

“They cheer as long as it feels like they’re winning, even if it costs them healthcare and dignity.”

Believe it or not, when winning, you have dignity. The bitter opinions of the losers take none of that away.

As for healthcare, this is a very real and complex problem. A first step is cutting off the free healthcare for non-Americans and ignoring the cries of “racist fantasies” squeaked by the meaningless class.

“It is clear that Trump plays to the fantasy of a whites-only America”

Trump plays to the reality of a successful “white” culture and invites all Americans to adopt it… which many do, as we see successful minorites in every field who speak and act like me no matter what their appearance is.

“and foreign ‘toughness,’”

As opposed to… foreign weakness?

“and the MAGA voters lap it up”

What part should they not lap up? Domestic success or international success?

“—even if it means losing their own Medicare and benefits.”

Hahaha! You mean “Medicade and benefits”.

You are talking about the Parasite Class.

Work requirements for Medicade and loss of benefits is excellent policy.

I hear there are openings in agriculture, meatpacking, hospitality, and construction.

The interesting thing about all of Trump’s trade deals is that the “investment” in America is always a big part.

This is marketed as an investment…

…but this is really about moving industry to America.

This seems like it is a deal for America, and it is, but it is really a deal for the other country because it means their industry is protected during the coming world war.

Which is why, like all of Trump’s best deals, it is a win-win.
