Yep, Americans are a mixed bunch of isolationists and the more open minded.

In between are the thoughtful but easily led.

Wherein voting and media sensationalism are something of a baffling mix of dissociative contradictions.

These attacks include the targeted restructuring of the federal government, intimidation of political opponents, and attempts to diminish the independence of the judiciary and the media.

Defamation is defamation. Of course the courts won’t do anything about it which I’m fine with. But it’s not taking away their right.

The courts are throwing out all Trump’s defamation lawsuits for lack of merit.

Well Anti Trump is currently the big vote winner  when you need to sway the floating voter.

And Trumpian policy is hopefully self defeating

We will have to wait and see what happens at the next election to decide if democracy is alive and well in the US.

We will have to wait and see if there is a next election.

Rubio will not run if  JD Vance runs because he is the VP.

Yes  the premelaries.

So, do the premelaries come before or after the preliminaries?

Wasn't sure what the Girraficus meant.

But yes, in the US, preliminary elections are referred to as primaries.

Primary elections or primaries are elections held to determine which candidates will run in an upcoming general election.
