Dungeons & Dragons is the gateway drug to hell.
A craze a bunch of us nerds went through was playing Diplomacy at lunchtime in the school library.
As far as I know none of us have gone on to actually invade France or Germany, annex Poland or wrest control of Greenland from the Danish.
Maybe you’re just hanging with the wrong people?

It is well known that Putin is a huge Axis & Allies fan; look where that got us. The oligarchs are hiding Risk from him, lest he decide that Madagascar is the key to global domination.

You may not know this but movies made in Hollywood are quite popular in countries that don't have a gun culture. I think you will find the blame lies with you gun nuts small dick culture.
Gun nut...I've never even fired a gun.

7 deaths.
At least seven people are dead after a gunman opened fire at a Walmart supermarket in Chesapeake, in the US state of Virginia, officials say.
A man, believed to be the store manager, opened fire then turned the gun on himself, and is now dead.

Other countries like Switzerland have high gun owner ship.
I know people want it to be about guns. But is it?
Or is it something deeper in the culture that makes men go out and kill multiple strangers for no apparent reason. No one else does this with the frequency that it happens in the USA. So you can't blame video games either.
US Military conditioning within the culture maybe? A history of wiping out opposition? natives, strikers, students? etc. Stunted emotions? Lack of genuine respect for life? General immaturity?
I dunno.
Yes, it’s guns.

I played hella Diplomacy back when I was a kid. We played so much Diplomacy that we kept getting into this situation, cutting a supported support, and it wasn't clear from the rules whether you could do it or not. So we wrote the publisher, I think it was Avalon Hill at the time, and asked. They eventually wrote back and said they'd never thought about it but would add the rule that you could cut a supported support. You're welcome.

Trump did that in 2016 with 'Make America great again'.

How did that work out for everyone?
Trump didn't win the election, the GOP stole it for him.

The election was fixed by GOP operatives.

Starting in 2013 – just as the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act – a coterie of GOP operatives, under the direction of Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State, created a system to purge millions of Americans of color from the voter rolls of GOP-controlled states.

The system, called Crosscheck, was finally shut down in December of 2019, when the ACLU took an airtight case to the supreme court, with experienced litigation.

Let's look at Crosscheck in action:
Trump victory margin in Michigan: 13,107
Michigan Crosscheck purge list: 449,922
Trump victory margin in Arizona: 85,257
Arizona Crosscheck purge list: 270,824
Trump victory margin in North Carolina: 177,008
North Carolina Crosscheck purge list: 589,393
We saw in 2016 Crosscheck elect a Republican Senate and as President, Donald Trump. The electoral putsch was aided by nine other methods of attacking the right to vote of Black, Latino and Asian-American voters, methods including “Caging,” “purging,” blocking legitimate registrations, and sending out voter registration cards that looked like junk mail in numerous states.

Voter suppression since 1988 when it became mathematically impossible for GOP to win, because of the higher percentage of women and minorities who vote. Voter suppression has put GOP in the White House since 1988. The only way Democrats win who typically don't show up in high percentages, is when enough of them register and show up to vote.

Voter suppression has been going on in the US since the 1800s, and nowhere more diligently then Ohio. That's for a reason, the US often follows Ohio's lead in national elections, being a key state in early election battles, polling and early primaries.
