Tough question - - - they seem to run amok shooting each other in the foot or the mouth whatever the topic is.
Since this is a Presidential election year expect an all out war to solve the problem "Are you better off now etc. "
Need to have an election where $BIG$-$MONEY$ does not BUY the election and votes from the common folk count.
The government has lasted a bit longer than the Greeks and Romans and is going down the porcelain throne just as fast.
Both the Greeks and the Romans wore skirts - see what road that takes us down in todays day and age !

what will reptillian gop cantidates think of men in skirts

One must first get over the hurdle of whether the "candidates" (i.e. those specifically chosen for the circus) are capable of thought in the first place.

Mod hat on.

Note that whist I, personally, happen to detest all of the current crop equally, I will not let the current farce playing out in the USA (only one nation on the face of the planet, mind) derail things here when (not if) it gets belligerent. Play nice or this thread will evaporate faster than its electrons were kicked from their shells to make it possible.

[Mod hat off]

[scratch... scratch... scratch...] Dammit, did somebody put itching power in that thing? [scratch...] (Poor electrons. Why do we insist on disturbing them so much?)

I don't even see a point in connecting GOP candidates and men-in-skirts in the same thought. It's an exercise akin to connecting a sack of doughnuts to the Apostles. I doubt even a "six degrees of separation" game can connect those concepts, Kevin Bacon not withstanding.

Living on the other side of the "pond" it took me a bit to get past "gop" - Google came up with Government of Pakistan/Panama or Group of Pictures but I twigged it might just be Grand Old Party possibly?
But cantidates (sic) got me going for a bit....

Till I realised dyslexia had struck...

Then I wasn't interested any more....(politics - Bah! Humbug!)

But I would hope (in contract bridge terms) that the bidding would be for "No Trumps"...

I think the candidate most likely to take it in stride would be Bernie, I imagine him saying something like "Cool skirt" then him start telling you why we need to pass some law or other for the working or middle class. Most of the others would immediately identify you as a free thinker, and thus, dangerous. in some cases, I would not be surprised if you were blocked from approaching by security.

The Greek City States lasted for at least 500 years, the Roman Empire lasted close to 1000 years, if you take 1945 as the start of the American Empire, I doubt it will reach 100 years before collapse.

First of all, we are hardly an Empire. There has never been an empire that owed money to the rest of the world, which seems very happy to bet positively on the future of the US. I'll leave the title of World's Last Empire to the Brits. It was, after all, their ignorant, nay, idiotic partitioning of the Middle East that created most of the current turmoil. If you don't expect the US to persist as the world leader in finance, technology, and creativity until 2045, perhaps you'd care to make a wager on it? I'll give odds...

It's early, but concentration of wealth is increasing at a rate that generally leads to revolution.

Hopefully that'll be at the ballot box, but we'll see.

The ultimate fact is the extent of wealth generated, upon which the debate regarding distribution is premised. That is unique in the world over less than three centuries of meaningful existence.

Also, if the US should be regarded an empire, its start was around the 1850s, when we consolidated by force our claim on a coast to coast destiny. So if we are an empire, we established that from the conquest of our portion of North America, and have been so for over 150 years. We have no comparable foreign dominations that compare to Europe's history; ours was over a portion of one continent. One could argue that political hegemony is imperial, but, even so, we lag far behind Europe in that regard.

I don't know if I'd limit it to the GOP (although I've never voted for them for the reason that the other side is better at lying to me, I guess), but there's a pendulum swing (not that it ever went that far Left) in the nation to where old Deuteronomy (and I don't mean the character in Cats) 22:5 rears its ugly head in terms of those alleged gender markers (i.e. a skirt "belongs" on a female, which is rubbish as I look much better than that fundaMENTAList Kim Davis does in a long skirt). I am too optimistic to say that MUG and transperson alike will be forced to wear the pink triangle and get on the train to the camps, but I'd expect less tolerance, more harrassment, and not just verbal, but physical with certain interpretations of texts of Western Philosophy used as the basis for the hatebreeding.

Since the members of this forum have different political philosophies from all parts of the political spectrum, I think it is prudent to avoid political discussion. And as for what conservative politicians think about men in skirts, I bet they won't care about it at all, as they will be busy with more important matters, like promoting themselves in TV ads as election is coming next year.

[GothScot]

But see, politicians, for all the separation of church and state, they are like deities in that it's not them that gets on the nerves so much as it is their ardent followers.

What I wrote is based on my knowledge of Filipino politicians (conservatives included), as their attitude regarding matters such as men in skirts is just indifference.

[dillon]

It's less the words or acts of the politicians than the wink and nod given to those who would do us harm.
