Ceeboo, please give me specific examples of this “constructive and divisive identity politics” in the current Democratic administration. I will match your example for example from the former Trump Administration and the current crop of Maga Congress Critters and I’ll be able to go for days and days reciting the foulest and most divisive vomit from Rs after you run out of examples.ceeboo wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2024 1:45 amCeeboo doesn't think this is the case, Ceeboo knows that the current democrat administration has been bathing in constant divisive and destructive identity politics.

In addition, Ceeboo doesn't wonder why identity politics has been left off the agenda - Ceeboo knows exactly why it has been intentionally left off of the agenda. It's the same reason that the catastrophic border failure has been left off the agenda.
And, the actual truth is that Biden’s actual actions with the respect to the border are pretty similar to Trump’s, with the exception that Biden didn’t steal disaster funds from FEMA. Do I have to go through the lying chart that Trump stole from Johnson, the senator from outer space to show you exactly how Trump lies about the border to his supporters?
There. Is. No. Border. Catastrophe.
There is a border problem. One which was all set to be addressed until Trump ordered the are in Congress to kill it because he wouldn’t be able to base his campaign on making immigrants the new Jews.
Unemployment is low, so Trump’s murdering animals are taking citizens jobs. Crime, including violent crime is way below the peaks of the 90s and has been decreasing since a a relatively small spike during the pandemic, and illegal aliens commit crimes at lower rates than do citizens. So, Trump's army of murderous animals aren’t causing a crime wave, let alone holding Americans hostage in their homes. Evej fentanyl overdoses are trending down (perhaps because killing off your customer base isn’t exactly a winning strategy). And the vast bulk of fentanyl is smuggled into the US through legal border crossings by US citizens — not carried across miles of deserts by subhuman pack animals.
So, where is this catastrophe? Can you show me with actual evidence?
Ceebs, America has problems. The fact that America pays more for health care than any other third world country, with more of its population having no health insurance at all than those same countries, with worse health outcomes across the board than those same countries is a problem. I’d say it’s a significant problem that is a flat out embarrassment to the richest country in the world.
And that’s just one. We’ve got a bunch of them. And not one of them will ever get solved through by running around like chickens with their heads cut off screaming “catastrophe” when, in fact, there is no catastrophe.
And we really need to get this figured out, you and me, and we need to do it pretty quick. Because what we have been seeing is a trickle of people coming over our borders without permission. I’ve been following climate change for over 30 years, and we aren’t catching any breaks. The potential for real catastrophes that even 10-15 years ago were either not expected to ever happen or to happen, at the earliest, in the next century, are now staring us squarely in the face. Lots of our fellow sentient bits of carbon to our south are not going to be able to grow the food they need and, in some areas, will not be able to go outside for long at a time without dying.
And those people, Ceebs, are just like you and me. They don’t want to starve to death. They don’t want to starve to death. They will try to survive, and the last thing they are going to worry about is lines on a map. So, before we get to the point where we are faced with mass slaughter of desperate people trying to come here, we should really figure out how to handle the border problem.
