That was the test. We've proven we can manipulate our way through (until we can't)
Nobody else can even manipulate their dicks, they can't do shit, King Dollah lives in one place, nobody can be the King, except the King, the House of Washington, has no competitors.
Before you go and poop your drawers, at least wait until there is an actual challenger on the horizon, but they're ain't none, in any direction, as far as the eye can see.
No matter how fucktarded you may think America is, everybody else is exponentially more fucktarded, with absolutely no signs, that any of them, are anywhere close, to even beginning to unfuck themselves, so you can pretty much relax in the saddle for the foreseeable future.

Anyway, I don't see it as a terrible thing - I think it's desperately needed. We have WAY too much old-forest corruption here that needs to burn, for new growth. Also, I want to dump all of my savings into an index fund and forget it until retirement like the goddamnfuckingboomerparasites... last generation did.
