Wasn't a landslide. Stop lying. In fact it was among the closest elections in US history. 

 

That's exactly the problem.

No matter which side wins, half the country is angry. 

 

Here, I'll teach you a secret. Xi in China is there for life, right? Is that a "dictatorship"?

You can put whatever name you want on it.

But in some ways it's a good thing because it sometimes takes 40-50 years to make massive changes to a country.

You can't do much in 4 years.

Hummin,

Is it my imagination or are you becoming an angrier person?

Coincides with you leaving Thailand?

Maybe you need some Thai beaches, man. 

 

I become angrier 😁

 

I have never been happier in my life, and quite steady going for 8 years or more. Been my absolutely best time, and if you recall, I left at once I felt I had enough, and I came back when I felt for it. Im privileged to do what I want when I want, so not necessary to make world politics personal. By the way, we will hit the beaches next month, for a month as usual

Thank you for coming out about which side you're on about the global democracy vs. autocracy debate.

He improved the standard of living of hordes of people over the past few decades.

You need to stop obsessing over labels and terminology.

Jan 2029 cannot come soon enough. The final nail in the coffin to this kind of hysteria.

So to you noticing and being concerned about the USA going in the direction of autocracy  (which is an objective FACT) is hysterical.

As I am not allowed to make personal attacks I'll leave it there.

 

Stop telling me what I believe or am noticing. I said nothing of the sort. You are expressing your opinion and presenting things as fact. 

 

People can't take you seriously anymore but you keep raging on.

Yet you did make a personal attack. Contradicted yourself in the same post. Impressive.
