This is not just national it is international in scope. There is an worldwide competition between various factions for control. I believe Trump was the winner of a contest between these factions. We see this contest happening and attribute it to the normal give and take of politics. It is but we just do not realize the scale. This election is no exception.

all I can figure is its about money, period....different factions working to enrich themselves as private individuals....if they can raise an army and have nuclear weapons all the better for them.....

the rest of us, nearly ALL of us, are just little serfs running around....for 99.99999% of serfs, we have very limited upside....

but we can be happy, peaceful, satisfied and successful in our own little lives....
