I think that Greg has it right:

  1. I agree with the post, though I also am sickened by use of “the most important election ever” or similar, for every election of this century.

    I’m not saying it’s wrong. I’m saying I’m sick of it being so. And I’m disgusted by the reason it’s so; one side wants to change everything, often stupidly or disastrously. So it’s all about stopping them.

    It shouldn’t be. There was a time, long ago (the far, far distant time of the 80’s and 90’s) when Republicans and Democrats weren’t so far apart. Now, thanks to the hard left turn of the Democratic party, they are far apart, and so the stakes in every election are vastly higher.

    1. If the Federal Government addressed itself to only those things specified in the Constitution, You’d hardly ever hear anything from them and, aside from things like war, we wouldn’t be in the “most important election ever” mode.

  2. It is too bad that our space activities haven’t been more of an issue because it is an area where Trump has done well. But it isn’t popular with the public and the media wont cover it.

    It is also too bad that Bezos knows Trump will be better but is too big of a pussy to say it. The message sent by the persecution of Musk was received.

    1. “The message sent by the persecution of Musk was received.”

      Persecution and eventual prosecution of Elon Musk if Donald Trump loses the election. One would think that wouldn’t be lost on the billionaires many of whom are democratic supporters; the message being is anyone truly safe?

  3. I had a look at the comments on that thread. My god, there are some stupid people out there and they vote.
    I’m not sure the USA isn’t over whichever way the vote goes.
    That is very, very bad for the rest of the world. The US is the only country I know of founded on the belief that government is a problem, not a solution or an end in itself.
    Everywhere else the goodness of government and its relentless growth is regarded as a good thing.
