What I don't understand is, we as a collective were pissed after his first term, what happened? Did people just...conveniently forget how bad it was after only four years of sanity? Even if voters didn't like Kamala, people thought that inaction was a better option? That Trump was the better option? Thinking he was a joke and had no shot is what got him elected in the first place. Seriously, what the heck happened?
I hate that I've become this jaded, but I've entirely run out of sympathy. It's horrible and it's terrible and I feel bad for the people just trying to live and didn't vote for this, but hearing this? I don't feel bad anymore. Not for them, not one bit. I hate that this doesn't phase me anymore, but that's where I stand now. It is what it is. The worst part is I don't think any lessons will be learned from this. Not now, and not down the road. It'll always be someone else's fault.
Yes, every founding father had religious beliefs and every single one of them decided that leaving religion out of any governing body was the correct course of action. The Pilgrims left the UK to get AWAY from religion dictating politics, and these nutjobs want to go right back to that. King Trump, ruling by "divine mandate."
No no, it matters because 8646 was something they started. Now they're upset because they think it's a death threat, because THEY meant it as a death threat and they can't comprehend someone else using it in any other way
I've noticed a huge trend in people using partial phrases to justify a stance or course of action, not realizing that the full phrase in its entirety means quite literally the exact opposite. "Blood is thicker than water" meaning family is the most important vs "The Blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" meaning the family you *choose* is more important than what you're forced into.
This is a very interesting thought point, and I can't say I don't understand. I think we've seen so many so-called utopias become dystopias in media that many might've developed an innate fear of anyone attempting a utopia because they feel there's an ulterior motive somewhere. Goodness knows I'd be highly skeptical of anyone pandering such a thing, but I'd rather be with people who are trying than the ones actively trying to build a dystopian hellscape.
At this point I think it's more just tired vindication. We tried for so long to warn people how bad it is going to be, especially after the last 4 years of him screwing over the country, and the rest of the "boat" just decided to not show up. So we're still fighting, we're still upset the innocent will get hurt, but that little smile of satisfaction every time a leopard eats a face of the people who voted for them is a small sunbeam in this shitty situation
Didn't try? He absolutely tried. Multiple times. It got blocked by...guess who!? Yeah, your Red buddies. Every single time. What about when Trump didn't try anything when corporations artificially raised their prices during the pandemic to keep their profits up and just...never lowered them again. Oh right, that's inconvenient.
Trump DID say he'd "End the war in Ukraine in a day". What he DIDN'T say is that he'd make sure Russia wins and gets everything Putin wants. He makes it out as he's some great negotiator, but he just "achieves peace" through making the victim lose.
While under 99% of normal cirmcumstances I'd agree with you, this is in response to a Republican 'meme' that "No state is perfect" but then circling Oklahoma who voted red in every single district. It's not so much an informative meme and more a "Yes, but counter-argument" kinda thing. Yes, correlation does not equal causation, but sometimes...a history of terrible practices can lead to consistently bad results. But yes, this SHOULD be looked at more closely

Yeah, and I remember Trump saying if Biden won the stock markets would crash, but they kept going up and up. Did any Republican say anything? Lmao nope!
I mean, Prohibition was the 18th amendment, and the 21st amendment ratified it completely so...it's not exactly like it has been unprecedented. And even if it was, what makes you think that'd stop Trump and Republicans who have all three houses and branches of government?
As much as I absolutely hate this sentiment because of all the innocent people who tried to stop it...I can't help but start to find myself of the same mind. If only there was a way to exclusively hurt the people who voted for him until they started to realize.
That's adorable. "Nice wall of text, I might read that derangement one of these days"
I absolutely assume as such, but sometimes it's good to at least entertain the idea because it might be a teachable moment to at least inform them about critical thinking skills and checking to see if the source is reliable. It's a long shot, but ignorance can be masked to look like malice.
No, just disappointed at someone with absolutely zero empathy who seems to enjoy other people's dismay and is entertained at their potential future suffering. Regardless who you voted or didn't vote for (like if you're not a US citizen or something)
Honestly curious as to the source
Based on your comment history, it's not a big leap of logic.
Let me dumb it down for you- If Democrats acted like Republicans, you'd find something else to criticize. You're a hypocrite through and through.
Just curious, if Democrats acted EXACTLY like Republicans did from 2020-2024, what would be your opinions on their behavior? "Election was rigged" "Election was stolen" "Our candidate is really president", 30+ court cases dragged out in the public eye, etc? Also, honest question on your opinions of "The President has immunity" now that Biden has two months left. Because what's good for Trump is good for Biden, right?...right?
I'm honestly okay with this. Convince them to commit voter fraud, assure them it's okay because "the enemy does it", catch them, invalidate their votes and remove them from the voting pool permanently and maybe, just maybe some will hit that realization that sure, the voting is rigged, but it's been Republicans rigging it from the start.
And now we see how fast the Fox News viewers start claiming Fox is now a part of the "liberal media" and is "heavily left-leaning" because it no longer fits the narrative they want to believe?
Yeah, they think that "Kamala didn't answer a single question" and "Trump answered the questions directly and eloquently." You can't make this shit up, they're living in an alternate reality.
My coworker, a woman who supports a woman's right to choose, also 100% believes that "Doctors are allowing abortions after birth and that Democrats think it's okay." You...you can't argue with that level of psycho. I tell her that's bullshit and she comes back that she knew people who had it happen and I *actually* think she believes that. It's absolutely mind-boggling.
Thank you! I couldn't entirely make out some of the non-chanting voices but it sounded like the teacher(?) was encouraging it by saying "A little louder"?
This is my first time seeing this, where can I find more information for context?
Devil's Advocate here...maybe they should try this, just somewhere VERY far from America. I would absolutely LOVE to watch everything just implode in a few years (though even that's probably quite generous). Get them off US Soil, have their psychotic wet dream, and get their toxic asses out of our democracy. Solves so many issues. Only question is who'd allow them this failure of a social experiment?
