    In 2010 there was a court case called Citizen United. The result was to open up the US political system to unlimited dark money. Since then, money has been flooding in and corrupting the system. It has become an auction for buying politicians. Now it is simply a contest between billionaires.
    Dems had triple the money that Trump had because of their billionaires like Soros. The difference was that Trump didn't have to pay money to people to endorse him so his money went further. Trump went on Joe Rogan for free and reached 60 million people. Kamala went on Call Her Daddy and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a set that added nothing and helped her reach under a million people. Trump and his people were a meme machine. Kamala not so much.

      Trump would do himself a favour by being more careful about attacking people who are friendly to him. He does have the will to win. It is undeniable that he is a winner. I look forward to the dismantling of at least some of the fraud and corruption but Trump and the people around him are not angels so it will be entertaining at least.

          They claimed that they were democratic and Marxists. The problem Bob, is that Marxists do not remain democratic for long. No one is in greater danger than the people who usher in a Marxist revolution. In the end, there can only be one leader and everyone who is a threat to that leader will die.

          Yugoslavia spied on expatriates. They paid people to spy on expatriates. They sent people with diplomatic passports with fake stories to possibly evaluate a target into our home. There was no CSIS back then, so shortly thereafter the RCMP paid us a visit. They assassinated expatriates in Canada, the U.S. and Europe and possibly elsewhere. After Yugoslavia fell my uncle and cousin were allowed to see the files on family members including my father who had a thick file. They were not allowed to copy them but were allowed to take notes. All informants were identified extensively in those files. They fomented dissension among ex-pat communities so that agitators hatched their own death plots. It was an interesting era and contributed to making me who I am.

          Some people temporarily profited from the kleptocracy. The good communists that were awarded my grandfather's farm when my grandfather fled because he was told that they were going to kill him and grandmother was thrown in jail had to move their pigs from the barn into the main house. (Do you realize how bad pigs smell?) They were not farmers. They didn't know how to farm. They couldn't run a farm but the authorities expected them to pay taxes at the same rate that the previous owners paid and they too wound up in jail when they didn't produce the required tribute.

          Our family was not unique based on everything I have heard from people from Croatia.
          I have been very busy lately but I did remember I wanted to respond to this...

          Basically Vlad I think your family became victims of political extremism. You might think of it as leftist extremism, but right-wing extremism can produce the same kind of stories. If your family had been in Italy during Mussolini's time.... or in Germany during Hitler's rise .... or in Spain during Franco's revolution ....

          But your family was victimized by leftist extremism, and so you are who you are, but maybe you don't realize how limited you are. You should be against ALL extremism, not just left-wing. If you disagree, I'd like to hear from you as to why you think right-wing extremism (fascism) isn't so bad ... ???

            I am against right wing extremism but Trump is not an example of right wing extremism. He was a democrat for most of his life. If anything he is a centrist if you define centrist as being where the people are. The democratic party is a shiff show with open borders, lawfare, persecuting parents for protesting when their daughter gets raped in their school, and every form of insanity. There is no country in the world that has the kind of open border that Biden and the Democrats inflicted on the U.S. They deserve to be out of power for decades for their behaviour over the last four years.
