Because I was asked to do this...
I'm going to preface this right now that I am no politician, nor am I any expert. Hell, I didn't even start college. A friend in the UK asked me to write this and gave me the questions so that I am going to attempt to the best of my knowledge answer. Again this is all @eastoniablog's fault though hey if it opens a conversation I'm all for it as long as said conversation stays respectful.
Now let's see what I have to work with.... Again I am no expert, just a normal over stressed, over worked, GenXer trying to make sense of things. Politics is WAY out of my field of expertise.
What's going on? (Had to have her clarify that this was about politics because oh man... loaded question alone here)
Oh where to start with this one... I guess I'll start with the fact that we are one fucked up country. I mean we have two main political parties, there are others, but sadly they don't get much say in anything because how our political system is set up, those with more funding usually get put on the ballot and those who can't get the funding, are usually ignored because "no one cares".
Not everyone really fits into either party and not everyone who is of legal voting age votes. but back to the question. Two parties, the Democrats and Republicans. Guess the easy way to define them would be the Democrats are the party that isn't controlled by the church.
(And I'm going to state here I'm not against Christians, I know several awesome ones, but I am against how at least with American Churches, it's convert or die (Or you go to hell, though I would rather spend an eternity there than in Heaven if it's all filled with the kind of ilk that forgets that their savior preached "Love Thy Neighbor" and traveled the known world with mostly a group of men, whores, and other outcasts). I'm Pagan, I've dabbled in church a few times, and ya know what, not a single one that I have been a member of practice what the book teaches. I may be a bit more biased because on top of being Pagan I'm an opinionated Ace woman who has known friends and family who are also Alphabet Mafia unalive themselves because of the propaganda American churches shove down our throats on a daily basis. Now with that said.. )
The other party are the Republicans, which Donald Trump is a member and has royally fucked over, because of him they proudly are showing their racism, and hatred of women (I mean really with that election and the last one ANY male that voted for him that has a daughter should be investigated in my opinion, because anyone who idolizes a man that idolizes Hitler and wants to sleep with his own daughter... Needs to have their head fucking checked!) , as well as the fact that they think people are stupid. Those who don't follow that sack of garbage, are so far into the Sunday Book Club Cult that they believe anything that a homophobe preacher tells them to believe without ya know actually reading the book themselves. This is the party that is trying to make abortion illegal because "Life begins at conception" while pretty sure the book claims that live begins when the infant takes their first breath, but again what do I know? (I've read the Bible a few times, not an expert on it, but it's not that hard to read it for yourself) This is also the party that the leader of Texas's government belongs to, and he loves life so much that when the power grid failed in his state in a winter storm, he went on vacation (In the middle of Covid lockdown mind you) and let people die from the cold.
why is this happening?
I think I covered the basics... I may have missed some points. But really everything going on now is basically because the Republicans are butt hurt that their 'god' Trump (really you listen to some of them talk and praise the ass... and some of them being women like WTF, he's stated on air that he would sleep with his daughter, and oh gods I'm not even going to go with where he wants to grab those of us who were born women.
Though to be honest, the problem didn't start with him, it probably started back in the 80's with Regan, and well the GOP (Grand old Party aka Republicans) Just kept at it once they had a taste of power. After all they're the ones that started the trickle down economics that the US is stuck with since Regan, and yeah... it doesn't work. But they refuse to give up power. And now the Republicans know if they lose control they're party is doomed (it kinda is already because of the shitstorm Trump is and was)
3) why is the cycle of voting even just continuing
They keep running the vote because the Republicans don't want to give up control, so they keep going for a recount until either the democrats give in or they get what they want.
4) I've seen comparisons to Evergiven please explain
I actually had to give this one a quick glance and I think it's because America happens to be a bigger player on the world stage, and everyone's at a standstill until we figure out what way our government is going to act.
The Ever Given was a container ship that basically froze up world trade while it was stuck in the Suez Canal for over a month. Again I'm not sure if this is why but it's the only reason I can think of. Again I am not big on the political stuff, or even really current events. The news here in the US just keeps pissing me off with all the babies getting killed by bullets because a collection of cells have more rights than a grade schooler in a school, where they're supposed to be safe. Hell the man who terrorizes those kids with a gun have more rights than those kids and their mothers right now.
5) why are all you guys glue to your seats with popcorn and laughing?
The laughter isn't joyous. It's strained laughter, the kind that you do when you have pretty much lost all hope because let's face it you know you're screwed and it's laugh or cry.
And the popcorn... It's cheap. WE spend BILLIONS on the military and they can't track all that money, and using only a fraction of that money would end homelessness and hunger in this country. Hell we have the biggest military, are the only country that happens to have bases in other countries, and we can't take care of our own citizens, which for many parts of the country, the military prey on, making it seem like that's the only way that they'll ever make a survivable income. And then the US Government treats them like shit when they are medically discharged because of trauma and injuries that were caused by doing their job in the service of their country. We have homeless Vets, Young and old, with mental trauma that they can't afford to care for, or is the cause of the crippling debt that put them on the streets...
6) what's this about beating a record?
Not so sure about this one. Again I don't pay too much attention to what's going on. I know I should but for my mental health I feel it's safer to just get little glimpses now and then, and try to keep my head down because I happen to be living in a town that is very anti me.
And lucky number 7: why is this vote so important anyway?
This one, well, the vote on who the speaker of the house is going to be will tell us how well the Senate is going to be working with the President. If the Republicans control it, they're going to make sure nothing gets done out of spite just because Biden happens to be a Democrat. And they love making it look like the president is an incompetent fool (while their own Presidents in the past have had the inability to actually speak clearly, Bush couldn't string a sentence together to sound like he was smart to save his life... and Trump is the village idiot's toenail).
I hope that answers some questions, now I'm going to go back to things that I know more about.

Look guys, I've managed to turn both How to Train Your Dragon and ATLA into a Power Rangers AU by worldbuilding from the ground up.
Also I'm basically shoving all my worldbuilding nonsense at @travelerwanted for more Power Rangers AU in ABF (which to be fair is at least SET in the Power Rangers verse).
IM JUST SAYING THAT BOTW GAVE US OUTRIGHT ZORDS AND WE DID NOTHING WITH THAT?
Ive already flailed in both @deiliamedlini and @zeldaelmo's asks boxes about Power Rangers and Zelda.
...should I just bite the bullet and start bloody world building? No promises of fic, I've already got to get back into the groove of ALL MY OTHER POWER RANGERS AU. And Renegade-verse.
And that Watcher!Grian concept I started poking at.
But here's a question, should I bite the bullet and start worldbuilding in the hopes that someone, anyone (that's not me my day job is a doozy guys) writes a LoZ Power Ranger AU?

Ponderings
Do you have to be an asshole to survive in this world?
According to an ex-coworker, that’s the case.  You can’t get anywhere without being an ass.  Though, I really don’t believe that at all.  I believe that if you are nice, or at least try to be nice you can get further than being an ass.
Might also be the reason why that co-worker happens to be working somewhere for 9 bucks an hour, and pulling…

rules: answer twenty questions and then tag twenty some people who you want to get to know better! i was tagged by @thesewersystem
name: we have a handful of names, but our front name is Dylan
nickname: some alters have nicknames, but it's sadly not safe for us to share them at this time :(
zodiac: scorpio
languages: sometimes we hear alters talking in German or Spanish, other times languages we don't recognize at all, but we just speak English
favourite season: autumn. Spring is becoming more of a favorite, but only cause we're somewhere where the weather isn't too hot. Normally we can't tolerate it at all.
favourite flower: roses🌹💖
favourite scent: lavender
favourite colour: black, purple or green
animal: tardigrades... also cats
favourite fictional character: this is really difficult... the first thing that popped into my head was the really, really hot chick from Heavy Metal because we just watched that movie lmao, but to say she's our favorite character from anything ever... no, that'd be going a bit far. I guess I'd say Gandalf because he's the most universally beloved in our system.
coffee, tea or hot chocolate: tea, definitely tea
average sleep: I don't know. I didn't realize I didn't know anymore until now. That's weird. I'll have to pay more attention to that.
dogs or cats: we'd say we can't choose, but the older we get, the more we lean towards cats. Still love dogs with all our heart though.
blankets: @thesewersystem said "i love the soft fuzzy ones" and as we're typing this while resting our hands on our soft fuzzy blanket, we'll have to go with that.
dream trip: a little cabin in the woods with lots of greenery and rain
blog established: I don't remember. Last couple years.
followers: 288
random fact about me: no matter how many times I have quit the game, I have never been able to stop playing Neopets for very long, ever since I was a little kid. For some reason, that game has always been my happy place above any other. I don't really even play any other games anymore. Just Neopets.
I tag @snorlax-and-co, @brooke0987 and @travelerwanted

Hey Hermie- do you think it would be a good idea to move the kids to the private world..? Maybe everyone else too, like Beatrix and the homes we collected from random places... because of all the random things occuring in the multiverse?
-@travelerwally
Perhaps it is for the best...you can start the moving process I have a few things I need to take care of before I move though...
