I'm not a moderator, so I couldn't block you even if I wanted to (which I don't).
In fact if you look at the other thread I made the point that I DON'T think you're a bot or Russian troll.
If you look at the various threads about Trump and the US political situation you'll see that there's already quite a lot of discussion about the factors that led to the rise of Trump.
You had a bad experience on this site with your first thread Asymeo, but we're not fixated on Chinese bots.
The surfing event amused me.
Apparently the French guy was quickest out to the waves and caught pretty much the only good one of the day.

Supported by billionaires, Russia, conspiracy theorists and the religious, in a land where most people are at least nominally religious, in a time where attention spans have decreased and more people trust news from social media (which is owned by said billionaires, heavily trolled by foreign actors and has weighted algorithms skewed to support Trump) than fact-checked reporting.
The Democrats face an uphill battle, I just hope that enough sane people in the US can be bothered to get off their arses in November and do the right thing.
Smoking rates have massively decreased. Yes some people are still buying them but VERY few compared to previous decades.
Putting a price signal on harmful products does actually work. If a slab of Coke cost $100 instead of $25, a lot of people would look at alternatives.
