What if any group that has been offended by the current president of the United States will vote the other one? Wouldn't that be a tremendous victory for this candidate?

Australia apparently had an election end as badly as ours. Friends of mine were really depressed the other night.

In the gaming world, there was a bit of a shake-up re: young people and their contracts when joining teams to play video games for them in competitions, and/or as content creators. If you google TFue and Fazeclan, you'll find it. It turns out that he did have a bad contract, but they had been trying to fix it, and he didn't accept any of the new ones.
Turner (Tfue) is a Cap, born January 2nd 1998, I think. Cloakzy, his duo partner for competitions (they won several large prizes last year), is also a Cap, 23 years old, born December 26th, so they're both early to mid-born Cappies. I don't know specifics around the birth of Faze, or the people involved, but I find it interesting that this started as someone just wanting to keep more of his own earned money, but is being sold as wanting to make sure that nobody else gets screwed when signing with a team. He's a big enough name, that it was going to garner attention no matter what.
Cloak is a good guy, and he's still with the team. Tfue has wanted to be let out of his contract, I don't know if Cloak wants to leave, too. They're friends with one of the owners of the team, and he has been very public with how upset he is, and they had to say that it wasn't his fault, that he's only been good to them, because he (Banks) was getting a lot of heat online.
I find it funny that I knew nothing about beauty youtubers, but I know of all those involved in gaming drama. It's a little embarrassing, since I'm not twelve years old, but this reminded me of Pluto, Saturn, etc in Cap.

Concentration camps on the US-Mexico border. www.esquire.com/news-politics/a27813648/concentration-camps-southern-border-migrant-detention-facilities-trump/A friend contacted me, focused entirely on this, during the transiting moon in Pisces, so it sunk in extra heavily (my moon's in the 8th, trine Scorpio NN...very easy to get me into a very morbid frame of mind.) Around the same time, I was watching an Eckhart Tolle interview where he was touching upon highlights of recent world history, relative to the expression of yin and yang energies. War is yang. I was thinking, with the current, strong emphasis on YIN energy in the transits...Saturn-Pluto in a yin sign, nodes in yin signs, Mars in a yin sign... How interesting that the much of the news, as I see it, is almost like a story of "masculine energy strikes back" or more like, (rich, privileged) White Anglo Saxon Protestant energy strikes back. A yang overreaction? What they call making America "great" again apparently means, putting American power back in the hands of our forefathers and people like them. Exactly like them. White, rich, more or less nominally Protestant. I know that is an oversimplification but we are seeing Mexicans targeted, women targeted, Muslims and Hasidic Jews targeted...while the stock market is doing great (the rich are getting richer). It's like Trump's personal preferences really are echoing throughout the land. I had no idea how messed up this country was until he brought all that to light. Worst time in US history that I have experienced, as an American. And it's been seriously bad before; as someone with a conscience, seeing US atrocities in the Middle East and having to deal with clueless friends who supported the missions, that was not easy. Anyway, sorry to be heavy but that is basically the whole point with this thread.

I have noticed that this year truth shows up. In my country a video came up and the vote of no confidence passed the parliament. There will be new elections this year. In another countrey a comedian got president and the holy name of Erduan seems to fall apart in a different country. I am aware that Pluto takes away Saturn`s stability and I know it is for the better. That may bring up the fear of the unknown, but to fall back to the good old structures will not function.

Another rape accusation against trump, and it's barely news. The New York Times put the story IN THE BOOK SECTION of their paper. Because she's got a new book out. Not on the front page, where it should have been, in huge, bold letters.
Tucker Carlson, of all people, talked him out of a strike on Iran, apparently. Because it could lead to him not getting re-elected. Not because innocent people would have died.
Children still in cages. No care being taken with/of them. Just despicable. I've just seen a beautiful picture of a man and his little girl, that beautiful little girl, and then clicked through to the article, to see them dead in the water. Literally. Floating face-down, because they jumped into the water out of desperation.
GOP Senators not only refused to vote on a climate bill in Oregon, so that it wouldn't pass (Democrats outnumber them), but ran and hid with militia groups somewhere, because an arrest warrant is out for each of them, for not doing their jobs. So they now have militia groups threatening the government, and a woman in Oregon said the "proud boys" are on their way.

anela yes I read those things, too. I didn`t click on the link with the photos though, I didn´t want one more of those horrible images in my mind. I mean I know about it anyway, and well I just do not know what to say, to any of this anymore. Honestly speaking I am happy I don`t live in America in current times. Well that is no comfort for you, I know, just to say I understand how depressed and powerless you all must feel, and angry as well. And probably sharing my complete lack of comprehension, how on earth all of this was or is even possible!
