I'm pretty sure he's not volpunter (is he?).
GOP obviously, as per that document, wants to keep people simply, stupid and obedient. Questioning and challenging authority is what the western world is about, this is why most of modern inventions didn't happen in China or Japan, even if they have a much better work ethic.
It's frightening how "challenging the student’s fixed beliefs" is considered a bad thing. America might just go back to the dark ages if this attitude prevails.
An evening with 'deplorables': inside the alt-right party in Manhattan
The so-called ‘A Night For Freedom’ featured Hillary-baiting, anti-feminism – and a surprise appearance by Chelsea Manning

The evening wore on and the drink flowed freely. In the men’s room a drunk man ranted bitterly about the Women’s March. “Bunch of fucking pussies out there. And fags. All I know is I ain’t getting none!” he added, for anyone wondering.
Up on the roof, groups of people clustered on a smoking patio. Conversation frequently came back to the deep state, Antifa and when Hillary will face justice for her crimes.
One person was complaining about the protesters outside, some of whom had allegedly attacked guests as they entered.
What do you think is behind that sort of behavior? I asked.
“Divorce,” he said.
1. For the US System

If everyone is entitled to have a projection, one might think the 10% primary turnout of combining conservative (pro-gun) and evangelical (pro-life) voters due to their strong willpower collectively would easily determine the future of the US possibly in the next 100 years, if not longer.
Unless certain fundamental changes structurally would be done! lol

2. For the China System
Hopefully, the mainland China government has learned enough from the Taiwan government for the transition process of how to transform from a single party system into a two major parties system.
And the whole China in the foreseeable future would use a two major parties system after these two states (mainland and Taiwan) later to be unified/ merged without requiring any war/force.
3. imo, ideally there should be just Continental Blocks: America, Asia/Australia, Europe/Russia, Africa/Middle East/India. And Natural Borders for each Continental Block.
National borders in the current form would be just causing more conflicts and troubles. lol

NO LONGER being number one is likely to make lots of troubles. The gooks come out of the brush to promote the most ridiculous cures.

I believe it was CNN that asked candidate Trump, “When is the 'again' in your slogan: Make America Great Again”? He said it was the early 1950s.
