Black women for Trump

I was under the impression that You don't have to switch parties to vote for whomever..??
Not in the general election, but some states only let you vote for your party in the primaries.

Anyway, this just shows that black women can be as idiotic as anybody else that wastes a vote on that clown. Yay equality. Besides, if you need help to switch parties, should you really be allowed to vote?

Looks like Alexander Fraser Tytler was right...

The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.​

...my assessment in bold.

One other thing Tyler said that is becoming obviously true lately:

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.​

...that Barakula won twice is all that evidence I need that we've reached the point he's describing.

Of course if you cut out those annoying voters, and let people buy candidates directly, then the people who own the candidates get them to vote the generous gifts directly to them.... The result of this would be continually declining voter turnouts... rights being given to corporations to directly influence the democratic process, Foreign wars and engagements being used to drive profits up, and a concentration in power and economic wealth in the hands of fewer and fewer people.... any of this ringing a bell????

And if you only have 2 political parties.. buy them both and your covered either way... then you can give the people "bread and circuses" and 2016 looks like the biggest circus ever. Just a shame its full of clowns clamoring to be the ringmaster

And whilst we're on the subject.. According to wikipedia, Alexander Fraser Tytler died in 1830. So 10 Bonus points if you can name ANY of the World Greatest Civilizations which prior to 1830, lasted around 200 years ,and went through at least steps 1 to 3... giving examples at each stage

(That rules out, Ancient Egyptians, Cathage, Ptoolemaic Eygpt ,Babylonia, Assyria, Chinese Dynasties, The Minoans ,Mycene, Classical Greeks, Ancient Romans The Roman Republics, Roman Empires, Oltechs, Aztecs and the British Empire (that is if you consider the British at least mildly civilized)

OK... well he would have had the lifespans of the 'major civilizations in the word' when he made the claim.. if he cared to look. If he didn't have them, then he wouldn't have rated them as a major civilization But skipping over that so you don't have to feel constrained by the ludicrous 200 year average claim

give a couple of civilisations that by 1830 followed the pattern. Showing when they were at each step.

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.


Now.. I'm not letting you use Rome or America as an example.. but thats only because a few years ago it was fashionable to try and equate the fall of the Roman empire with modern day America.. based on the Roman and American creation myths... I think that may be what you're trying to do here, but apart from that America hadn't fallen in 1830

But as Tyler says.. this applies to all of the greatest civilizations so if he "nailed it" you shouldn't have any problems at all....
