I don't think ISIS is inevitable because there are many very religious Muslim majority countries (like Indonesia) where the US hasn't bombed them endlessly and there is no terrorist organization there. I think the US pulling our troops out of the middle east could turn Iraq into Indonesia, a religious Muslim majority country with no terrorist organization.
1.Indonesia is a US ally and was a key pro-US ally i the cold war, especially a factor in the south east asia wars,
2.Indonesia won't have SECTARIAN wars because the country is 99% sunni muslim
3.Indonesia DID have internal RELIGIOUS CONFLICTS in Timor when Muslims who wanted to stay in Indonesia and Christians who wanted to be independent clashed. This comes to mind-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suai_Church_massacre

I want you to tell me why millions of african americans move to different states creating a mass exodus of people just so democrats can gain some seats in the house?
Tell me, would ANYTHING change? the faults of the African american community are centered around two things
- horrible culture
- lack of fathers in the home
This is IT, nothing about politics are moving just to vote democrat will ever change any of this. the plight of the African Americans stem from the killing of good, strong, and religious masculinity in their households.

isis spread because saddam hussein fell and sunnis felt like they needed to turn to a much more fundamentalist and violent islamic way
ISIS really was inevitable, IRAQ would have collapsed at some point, probably 20 years after the US

100% correct. It happens to large countries/empires with supposed unlimited wealth. Boomers were the first to grow up with this wealth and based their economic policy on their childhood experiences. The problem is, there is no real infinite wealth.
Example with Rome.
"... Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses"
Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business
"Postman argues that commercial television has become derivative of advertising. Moreover, modern television commercials are not "a series of testable, logically ordered assertions" rationalizing consumer decisions, but "is a drama—a mythology, if you will—of handsome people" being driven to "near ecstasy by their good fortune" of possessing advertised goods or services. "The truth or falsity of an advertiser's claim is simply not an issue" because more often than not "no claims are made, except those the viewer projects onto or infers from the drama." Because commercial television is programmed according to ratings, its content is determined by commercial feasibility, not critical acumen. Television in its present state, he says, does not satisfy the conditions for honest intellectual involvement and rational argument."

Lousianna, MS, AL, GA, SC, NC, Maryland, or Deleware and they could control politics of those states ergo 14 national senate seats.
so make millions of people move so democrats can win senate seats?
really? this is the point where we are at. Clown world.

The Irish were largely ethnically cleansed by potatoes, or a lack thereof.And then all those minority Europeans went to the New World and ethnically cleansed all those native types, who "owned " 100% of the land. ( If it is actually possible to own land?.....I would suggest that land ownership is only ever temporary)And the Irish are and were the Irish....And I think what you are referring to was largely Irish Religious cleansing, by the Irish.In a broader historical context...The U.K. Is a derivation of multiple, European and wider influences.It's just that people such as yourself like to focus on recent History and attribute blame inaccurately and disproportionately.After all the Romans are to blame for Catholicism...And Various Arabians are to blame for other religious variations thereof.And Northern Ireland remains largely populated by the Irish, but nonetheless, nowadays influenced by more recent global migratory trends.
nope, the ethnic cleansing took place in the 17th century, 200 years before the famine.
plus the whites that came to America was also under attacked from native Americans. Not a goof example. Additionally 90% of them died from disease.
And the Irish are and were the Irish....And I think what you are referring to was largely Irish Religious cleansing, by the Irish.
what does that even mean?
The UK is a collection of people that are pretty similar in a way, same identity and religion as well as language. Regional identity is also present but it doesn't undermine the national one. That obvioulsy exludes Ireland as it is a different religion and ethnic group

those are swamp republicans, conservatives need to focus on defending American culture, or rather restoring it because it is all gone

literally, no Christian confirmed it's faith by the Ontological Argument
The argument is certainly sound, but not one that makes people change religion
