A brainteaser is something (such as a puzzle) that demands mental effort and acuity for its solution.
I enjoy brainteasers.

Tease your brain and let me know your answers! But remember you have to use your brain in order to tease it properly!!!
US elections got messier and messier, and less possible to verify, the more democratic they became. Democracy legitimately sucks, hence why the majority of the Founders were not in favor of it. Our federal system of government is in the republican form, which is supposed to be guaranteed in every state. It would be nice to return to the original understanding of who Electors were, how they were chosen and what duties they held.
"... when you think about it, roughly a century of this "save for democracy" stuff has been going on."
Pulling on a loose thread there, v8power.
It comprises the very fibers,
That are twisted into thread,
Then woven, warp and weft,
This perception in our head.
Weave, knit, braid, crochet, felt, plait.
Hands make machines, cast needles,
Guide threads and strands into place,
Be it credal cloth or shrouds of evil.
In the open, in the sunlight,
A thing of value, use, produced.
In the darkness, in the shadows,
Malefic tricks of mind induced.
Look there, in the shadows,
Where you are afraid to look.
Do you see there, in the shadows,
Do you see the hands at work?

Woody Wilson was a 💩 to the highest degree of stank. He was arguably one of if not the most dangerous and destructive presidents in our history. Domestic policies were utterly terrible, but the foreign policies had the furthest reaching effects. He replaced Taft's policy of "Dollar Diplomacy" with "Moral Diplomacy" which was just a fancy way of saying "we're going to force 'democracy' down your throats so that we can control you." Woody got the US intervening seemingly everywhere around the world, especially South America and for the first time on a large scale, into the Middle East. Check out the book "Power, Faith, Fantasy" sometime. The turn of the century saw a massive shift from the "faith and fantasy" influences in the Middle East, into a more raw power grab. And then don't even get me started on the trash of the League of Nations and WWI. Woody Wilson, the racist POS from Princeton who laid the foundation from America's demise.... ugh.
I mean shoot, we could even go back to the Jeffersonians pushing for "democracy" in France. Oops! These efforts have gone on for our entire existence as a country, and in nearly every case, it's caused a lot of damage.
Always going to need oil to keep the war machines always running ;)
Hitler's inability to maintain supply lines and keep constant access to oil was arguably the #1 cause of Nazi Germany's defeat.., forced out of North Africa and the Middle East, stopped en route to the Caucasus... Kursk, Battle of the Bulge... no oil, no machines, no chance.
