The easily triggered old man is especially triggered today, leading to speculation that the boomer, whose tantrum on January 6th continues to be termed a "LARP" by easily duped idiots, has read the Jack Smith briefing which summarizes the evidence of Trump's very bad stupid boomer tantrum on January 6th.
Something magical happens when facts enter a courtroom: they become state-approved facts.
A plain reading of what is known about the events of those days suggest that Trump attempted a coup against the will of the American people. Now, because the Republicans are stupid enough to run him again, because there are still some people here who (lmao) persist in their denial of the fact of the boomer fascism disaster president, we get to see that stupidity struggle ever more in the coming days.
This week is going to be busy week for rightoid despair. Will they face reality, or will they huff boomer farts unto ever more stupid plateaus of idiot bleating?
"His policies will keep us out of war"
Trump would be happy to get us in a war and you're an idiot if you think otherwise. He always took the most aggressive option available, always pursued greater tough guy aggression actions, he wanted to deploy the military on US soil and wants to put the military on US soil if he's elected. Idiots who were duped by the fact that he pulled the US out of Afghanistan believe that Trump forcing the Ukraine to give Putin territory is smart, instead of at the level of Neville Chamberlain declaring "peace in our time" I know that's a slight misquote don't at me.
Appeasement is STUPID. Ukraine is our ally, and our greatest strength is supporting our allies.
And anyway most of these 
isolationists are happy to give aid to Israel, keeping the US firmly involved in the Middle East.
"He will be good for the economy"
Trump printed money and caused inflation. Trump's tax cuts were gamesmanship with our finances. Trump is a stupid fricking boomer and everyone who worked with him says so.
"He will be good for immigration"
Trump killed the border bill and EVEN REPUBLICANS hate him for it.
And some of you think it's funny that you desecrated your own government with boomer incompetence. Maybe it was.
Maybe you've grown up a bit since then. Maybe you have kids. Maybe you have a better grasp of the serious nature of politics these days.
You made your world a clown world by tolerating, celebrating, or defending Trump.
Come back to reality.
Abandon your boomer.
If you're not following the case, or worse, if you believe that the boomer getting what's coming to him is "lawfare" (LMAO), prepare for some JUSTICE.

Putting economics ahead of politics in a robust political system is a great way to instill corruption in a society.
There are plenty of succdem or demsucc societies that are prosperous and ok to live in, if not the most competitive.
There are also plenty of countries that do not take their political systems seriously beyond controlling people, and use economics as they please.
The poor abused peoples of Russia/China, or Brazil come to mind. Rampant corruption, little respect for political freedoms or right to express oneself.
Not a place I'd live in.

If you mean the Nordic countries, they're social democratic or succdem so in that case yes though I think
@DestoryerCarbine would disagree with calling Denmark succdem. There are no demsucc countries currently and speaking for LATAM examples the self-denominated "demsuccs" always end up being corrupt authoritarian socialists.

But I was thinking of Norway, which leveraged its unique geography and national resources after the war to create a model that people can point to.
And yeah, I'm sure LATAM countries are corrupt, as many countries are. I can see why, if you're in a LATAM country you wouldn't care about political systems too much. Like I get it, being from a favela is awful, and watching government officials promise the moon and sun and then steal those things is awful, awful stuff. Brazil is a place I'm somewhat familiar with, I have penpals who I write to, and frankly, I have a lot of sympathy for them. LATAM has different needs than that of America, different needs than Eurasia. Maybe freedom is not the answer today, but the problem that people find in LATAM is that the government has it's own interest too, and it's not always for the good of the people. It also holds true that freedom is priceless, and prosperity flows downriver from freedom. Every country has unique needs, unique wants, unique politics. I feel like neoliberals don't get that. You cannot just say GDP go up, and then everything floweth forth all that is good.

Norway is not a model anyone can follow. That's like saying we should build our economy on the Saudi modl

America unironically has the resources to follow through. Wouldn't be viable for most countries sure, but it could be for the US.
Also, refer to this:

It does not. Norway is a country of only 5 MILLION PEOPLE that exports 200 billions dollars worth of oil every year, or 2 million barrels a day, the entire norwegian economy is built upon oil. The only comparable nation is saudi arabia or the UAE. To put it into perspective, Texas produces 6 million barrels a day, i.e. 3 times as much, but has 30 million people. i.e 6 times as much. That's simply not sustainable, it's already barely sustainable in norway, but it can work thanks to the high concentration of people in a few areas making logistics easy. That's the opposite in texas.
Factor in the entire US population of 300 million, most of whom live in non-oil producing states, and it goes from unsustainable to total collapse.

There are more natural resources than oil in the world, more facets of the economy than natural resources.

There are none that make as much money from as low effort as oil lolol, norway has decent supply of other resources, good for their size, but oil is still 85% of their economy from sheer worth alone.
