Re: The MAGA movement needs to grow up

Most people don't want to live in a dictatorship. I get the feeling most people have barely considered what it would be like. It's a remote idea they don't really believe is possible in America. They've bathed in democracy so long, they're spoiled. MAGA likes to whine about the state of our governm...

Re: Weaponizing Stupidity

The only stupidity I see is in people who allowed themselves to bamboozled by the COVID fearmongers to the point that we're now no longer free to change jobs and refinance our mortgages because of things like the "Inflation reduction act," and infrastructure spending boondoggles. And what's the answ...

Re: Weaponizing Stupidity

Jan 2021-to 2022 . Maybe there's a new kind of MAGA math that overtook Common Core. How exactly does 50 Republicans, 48 Democrats, 2 Independents (that caucus Dem), and a Dem VP add up to a supermajority? Many a bill has been sunk by failure to gain a Senate supermajority for the rascally cloture r...

Re: Weaponizing Stupidity

Ajax, exactly when was this magical time when Democrats held a majority of the house, a 2/3 majority in the senate, and the presidency all at the same time? Jan 2021-to 2022. 2008-2010. They passed Obamacare and the Inflation production act. Yet there was no discernible plan to pay for any of it ju...

Re: Weaponizing Stupidity

What you really seem to be opposing is, whether you realize it or not, is taxing rich thieves and giving some of the money thereby collected back to whom they stole it from. I don't think one can reasonably deny that much of the billions and trillions of dollars and wealth possessed by the most pro...

Re: Weaponizing Stupidity

In my search for answers as to why anyone would support Trump, one thing I've heard many times but has really gripped me today is that many people like Trump simply because he "pisses off the establishment." I heard one Trump supporter explicitly state he doesn't mind being lied to because he knows...

The MAGA movement needs to grow up

I'm not writing this for the die hard communists on this board, but perhaps this might go down a little smoother for some of you. I think this guy does have a point. Do any of you agree with this? The Make America Great Again movement has surpassed every conceivable expectation since its inception n...

Re: Are people really basically good?

Ajax has absolutely no idea what led the perpetrators to commit a horrible act of violence. No I don't. Where would I find what these eight have to say for themselves? I'd really be interested in hearing their side of the story. What do you think my chances are of getting a straight forward honest ...

Re: Are people really basically good?

But only white patriarchy and misogyny and due to southern white culture right? Surely it's not possible for a black man to be misogynist? I don't know why you're asking these silly questions. The patriarchy and misogyny that is ingrained in many facets of American culture isn't race specific. Ther...

Re: Are people really basically good?

No. Christianity very much likely will be why they feel no personal accountability though, and think they are forgiven for doing these atrocities, and will spend eternity in heaven alongside people who haven't committed similar sins. Now I will totally agree with you on that. You're talking about e...
