From what I've seen about right-wingers right now, they are not at all happy with the situation. They really do think that ballots have been tampered with. From what I can see, this is not Trump brainwashing them with cult-ideology, Trumpers on the ground believe it and it's going up to bolster support for Trump. This is not about whether this is true or not. It may be laughably false and absurdly ridiculous. This is also not about what happens in the courts. You may beat him in the election and in the court. This is about unrest on the ground. The fact that people believe this could lend itself to a potential civil war. The fact that Q-Anon is a thing doesn't help the situation. We could be collectively getting pushed over the edge into this civil war because of the election. What's really sad to me is that it doesn't actually matter who wins the election to your everyday life. You may think it does, but it doesn't. If people kill each other over the result of this election, they will do it literally only to defend their political ideology, their favorite candidate, their favorite party. It will be completely ideological with no payoff to it, nothing to be gained, nothing at stake even. Just ideological fighting turning physical. It's like a fight between fans at a sports event, but this time with weapons. What happens in the ballots doesn't affect your everyday life. What happens in courts doesn't affect your everyday life. But a civil war is different. P.S. If this actually were Trump brainwashing them, then it wouldn't be so scary and we wouldn't have anything to worry about. People would stop believing it after Trump goes. But to me, it looks like people on the ground believed it first. They may not stop believing that once Trump is gone, which is what I'm worried about.

The world feels a lot more peaceful now, now that Trump is losing. I am starting to have a little faith in humanity now. I mean, I was fully emotionally prepared for a Trump win this time. I remember in 2016, I didn't sleep for an entire week when he won! This time I was prepared for some fireworks.

Amen to that.

Ooooohhh!!! It will really sting when he loses. That is if he considers hypocrisy a bad thing. Nah, he will go back to court and wage a war against the result. He is The Donald and The Donald never gives up! He will show true grit and determination by storming the Supreme Court and manipulating the ballots. He will not lose!!

That's their solution, not mine. I'd abandon this system altogether and create my own to compete with this one.

I don't want to create or push any conspiracy theory. I don't claim any conspiracy theory to be right or wrong. My point is that censoring conspiracy theories doesn't work. Censorship can work against any other ideology, but not conspiracy theories. If you censor some hate ideology, it will die out because you have more power than them. But, if you censor out an ideology/conspiracy theory that calls out your censorship, you are starting to censor out the truth. Now, the truth is on their side, which means that if you suppress it, it will get bigger and stronger! Your censorship will literally prove their point, therefore it will backfire on you. It will grow because of your censorship, the censorship will fuel it's growth as opposed to kill it. The only way for you to handle them is to listen to what they're saying and why. You're gonna have to listen to their problems. For that, you're going to stop identifying with censorship, suppression, control as a strategy. This is what the system relies on - control. This is exactly what they're calling out! I'm not saying that they're right, or that they have a better solution than the current one.

You will never know this because the tech companies censored it all. This is exactly why they vote for Trump and you'll never be able to change their mind. This is what I find so funny. First, you censor Trumpism. Then, people vote for Trump. Then, you scratch your heads thinking 'I wonder why people vote for Trump?' The answer to that question is in the very Trumpism you censored out! But you were too busy fighting it that you missed important details about people's everyday lives and now that's coming back to bite you in the ass. I'm not saying that Q-Anon is right. But if you really want to know why people vote for him, go down the Q-Anon rabbit-hole with an open mind. You haven't understood Q-Anon well enough, which is why you're censoring it. This plays right into the hands of Q-Anonners and it proves their point. I know it's scary to consider that they're right. But if you want to know why people vote for Trump, that's where the answer is.

Long live MURICA!!! In all seriousness though, be safe. Shit's going down there.

@eggopm3 How much time is left? I've been trying to find this but I couldn't.

Hey! So this is what I wake up to today. Another day, more craziness! We really are living through interesting times in 2020. This year has not disappointed when it comes to delivering pure, unadulterated craziness. Historic election. The amount of collective tension relative to this election is at a crescendo right now, because of how cut-throat it is.

Let your curiosity take you where it wants to take you. Your curiosity will never let you down! Your intuition will never let you down. Grow in whichever direction you want to grow. One day, it will help your life in ways you won't even realize!

God bless America indeed. _/\_

@Tim R The big problem is that people are unconscious, they don't understand the mind. There is this big debate in the psychological community of 'Is the mind in consciousness, or is consciousness in the mind?' We don't know what consciousness is! This is because we don't see meditation as an appropriate way of empirical investigation because what you see isn't quantifiable. Once we see that, we will understand 'mental disorders' a lot better.

I'd suggest we just drop this old system, not vote in it, not lend it our energy and focus on building a new system. Everyone hates this system, especially the fact that it's too bi-partisan. The elites are really selfish and corrupt to the core. Denying this is just ridiculous at this point. Yes, we don't have 'proof' against them, but if you ask yourself hand-to-heart - Are they in their Life Purpose? Do they actually care about people? There's nobody above them holding them accountable, which makes this question all the more important. The answer is - obviously not. This system, that depends on selfishness and zero-sum games, is on it's downward trajectory. It's not been created by conscious people with the intention of having a peaceful and harmonious society, it's evolved unconsciously due to the selfish actions of the most power-hungry and ruthless elites. If we want an opportunity to create a new system that is more conscious and evolved, that actually wants a peaceful, in-alignment and harmonious society, this one has to go first. (I'm not just ragging on the elites here. Even those at the bottom have contributed to the dysfunctionality. It's just that the shadows of the elites matter more, because they're elites and they have more power.) Humanity has never had an opportunity in history to consciously create their own society that values peace and harmony. That opportunity has yet to come and I think it is knocking on our door right now. If we let this system go and strategically prepare for the time when it won't be there anymore, we can really create a conscious system that actually cares about the people and is good for the people. Working on your Life Purpose and changing the world yourself is a much better idea than relying on someone else to do it for you. Only those with a Life Purpose, who care about the collective will survive this crash. I don't even think that who you vote for matters at this point!

Welcome to politics! Welcome to the madhouse clown-show that politics is. Political noob mistake #1 - You believe your ears. Don't believe your ears! Don't believe one word a politician says. Only focus on what they do. Talk is cheap and it's even cheaper in politics. Political noob mistake #2 - You think they're there to help you. You think they'll focus on the economy because that's what the economy may need. That's not true at all. Trump is the biggest opportunist ever, he will say whatever gets him power and popularity. Other politicians are also opportunists, but Trump's the biggest one of them all. Political noob mistake #3 - You trust politicians. You think they'll solve your problems, they're a 'benevolent force' there to protect and preserve the population. You think that because they said so and you believed them. Refer to noob mistake #2. They will say they'll do something, not because they can or want to deliver on it, but because the public is fool enough to believe them and vote for them in a reactionary manner. It's all about votes, it's all about power, it's all about titles like 'President', 'Vice-President', 'Senator', 'Congressman' or whatever other title they've got. That's the reality of politics. It is a food-fight mud-slinging contest for power. This is why people call it dirty, because it is. Now this doesn't mean you shouldn't get involved in it, this is just the present-day reality of politics. Lucky for you that I'm telling you this while you're still a noob!

Leo for Dem Prez 2024!! Conscious Politics ftw!!! If Kanye can just declare one fine day that he wants to run for Prez even though he knows nothing about politics, why can't someone who is passionate about politics run? Leo ftw!! This forum will support you!!!

Fight Club. One of my favorites. V for Vendetta too.

@Forestluv I'm noticing something interesting here - The Stage Blue conservatives want to uphold some value (say Freedom of speech) and act according to that ideology. While, Stage Green progressives will be more pragmatic and survivalistic (in a collective sense) when it comes to applying those values in practice. The progressives will be more solution-oriented towards broader societal problems and choose which values to uphold like that, while the conservatives will be clear about what they stand for and uphold that. The potential trap for consersvatives here is a lack of broader perspective and a blind faith in their pet ideology, upholding their values without considering the broader context. However, the potential trap for progressives is an interesting one - a lack of loyalty to their true values and instead, being too pragmatic and survivalistic. This is classically demonstrated with the Trump supporter vs progressive head-to-head!

About gaslighting - the way to handle that is to gain your reality back, or getting a better grasp on the reality. The way to do that would be to inquire more into the reality of that situation, into the nature of reality itself, etc. You may have to bite the bullet and consider what they're saying with an open mind, in order to then discover the actual truth of the situation and why they're giving you the advice they're giving you. Also, look into enmeshment trauma. Stage Blue parents will try to fit their child into a mould they have for them as opposed to respecting their child's unique individuality/sense of self. The moralization, or the unfounded confidence that they are absolutely right about what they're saying comes from being stuck at Blue. The way for you to handle this would be to take more personal responsibility, move up to Orange yourself relative to those specific situations and break out of the Stage Blue control structures.

I didn't mean in a slutty way. My bad for not being clear about this. Don't objectify yourself! If you're prone to doing that, work on personal safety and boundaries with men first.

If you look at it from the perspective of wanting to attract a man, being sexualized is a good thing! You want a man to look at you and say 'I want to check her out.' I'd suggest you release your resistance to that and take in the experience of being desired by men. I understand that objectification is a problem. If you're using the word 'sexualized' in that sense, that's a safety issue which is completely understandable. I'd suggest you do shadow-work around safety, boundaries and having men respect your boundaries. If you're able to trust men to respect your boundaries, the male attention you get won't feel so unsafe. It'll feel nice to be desired by them! Maybe embodying your femininity and having more feminine power, being more deliberate with your feminine expression would also help. This may include doing makeup and wearing dresses according to your authentic feminine expression as opposed to following norms. You'll have more control over what it is about you that men pay attention to, you'll be able to deliberately bring them in that way. This will do good things for you in dating, especially when it comes to pulling in the right guy.

@soos_mite_ah There's one potential trap that shy girls could fall into - coming across as a mom. That is actually the opposite of hot or sexy. If you were raised to be this 'good girl', you may have issues coming across as hot. 'Good girls' have been raised to be a good mom, so they will have this motherly energy of 'I'll take care of you'. From what I know, coming across as a mom is a control strategy that women use to try to get a guy to commit to them. The problem with this is that guys who will be attracted to you will not be the ones who will approach you, they'll be shy nice-guys themselves! That's why you won't get approached. The strong, self-respecting men don't want a mom, they want a hot girl to bang. They're the ones who will make the approach. Then, once the relationship progresses, you can offer him your love and he'll receive it. I'm aware I may be coming across as harsh right now. I'd suggest you practice surrendering and letting go of control, working on trust issues with men. Maybe daddy issues. As you surrender more and enter more of a receptive space, high-quality men will find that attractive. You can let them handle the rest then!

Of course there's more to the relationship than sex! Having said that, sex is what differentiates a platonic friendship from a romantic relationship, right? It's pretty darn important and if you're having jealousy problems, even more so.

I know what I'm talking about. All emotional needs a woman has from you can be met through sex, or flirting, or in the sexual context. From protection, to being desired for who she is, to being led by you, to safety, to whatever. The trick is to create a sexual experience for her that's emotionally fulfilling. I know, it sounds too good to be true, but I do know it's possible. Haven't actualized it yet, but I'm on track doing it. There is no end to how good you can get in bed! Sex is literally limitless. It is primarily a man's game in hetero relationships. There's dimensions to it that are relatively unexplored and can be very healing.

If you're an average guy, yes. The average guy doesn't need a lot from a woman. If the sex is good, you go out once a week, you'll be happy! That's all the average guy/girl wants from a relationship. If you want an emotionally safe and connected relationship though, that's a different story. Then, you won't be happy with the average person. Then, you yourself won't be an average person! There's a reason why emotionally connected relationships aren't the norm - Most people don't really care about it.
