Trump Keeps Winning

[maskedmelon]

personally, i liek the aesthetic. it has a very modern "industrial" theme and performs as well metaphorically as it does concretely. i'd liek to see the door reduced to a more manageable size though.

Bolsonaro is in (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-46013408) by a fairly wide margin. Even the gays and blacks, whom he openly hates, voted for him (https://www.yahoo.com/news/gays-blacks-still-voting-brazils-bolsonaro-despite-rhetoric-015504908.html):

According to the Gay Grupo Bahia charity, 387 murders and 58 suicides occurred in Brazil last year due to "homotransphobia" -- an increase of 30 percent as compared with 2016. But Trabuco says he's far more concerned about being unable to "step out into the street with a cell phone in your hand. I'm not just thinking about myself, nor worrying if he'll accept my (sexual) orientation," he added, referring to Bolsonaro. "I'm worried about security and health."

Family lawyer claims Cesar Sayoc is too dumb to launch a bomb campaign (https://fellowshipoftheminds.com/family-lawyer-says-cesar-sayoc-does-not-have-the-intellectual-capacity-to-be-package-bomber). Also, CNN photoshops his picture to look more white. Totally legit!

A new company helps rabbits flee the Bay Area (https://reason.com/blog/2018/10/22/high-housing-costs-are-pushing-people-ou). R-strategists are migrants, and having wrecked California with socialist policies they will now spread out like locusts across the rest of America.

I see that yet another global warming debate was sparked in this thread, so I will post a quick reminder that global warming activism is complete nonsense:

Everyone believes the basic science of CO2 as a warming gas.
But CO2's global warming ability increases logarithmically (= incredibly slowly) and we already have a huge amount of it. Serious global warming requires increased water vapor in the atmosphere.
Computer models of complex chaotic systems like water vapor in the atmosphere are inherently inaccurate
Even if the Earth warms, it could be a net positive for humanity, which traditionally does well when plants do well, and plants like hot and wet.
Even if it is not, there is nothing the average American can do about it. Emissions in the developed world are actually declining; it's China & the BRICS that lead in CO2 now

TLDR: real environmentalists are concerned about pollution and, yes, African population growth.

nothing
Someday you will write words that actually have meaning. I almost wonder if you use a script to generate your posts by picking a few random logical fallacies (regardless of whether they apply) and throwing in the word 'weak' a few times.

The idea that 10000 migrants at a Border Patrol station isn't dangerous, or that it wouldn't be a great way to sneak MS-13 or other terrorists into the country, or that our society will be greatly enriched by another 7300 people on welfare (73% of all Central American immigrants (https://cis.org/Report/Welfare-Use-Immigrant-and-Native-Households?fbclid=IwAR18l_1o55NZ3WsBxb0eVAZyDSRTJP z9iyVZCwN3_OTNI5axRWZMP8AKaZw)) is so fucking stupid that it can only come from someone who went to college. And if it causes material harm to the United States, is it free speech . . . or treason?

[Patriam1066]

I’m surprised it’s only 73% tbh

They’re the worst. My son’s girlfriend has a great ass though (el Salvador)

I'd liek to piggyback on Raev's post here and point out that when it comes to efficient warming solutions, a growth of O(log n) is about as good as it gets.

I don't know enough about him to slander him fascist or not, but there is a lot of ground between a the union of failure on the left and the hate hovel of the far right. hopefully brazil is able to stop somewhere atop the mountain in the middle where the rewarding clouds of competence rain success upon the responsible. the sad reality for Brazil is that it lacks the wealth of the doddering west to manage delusions of affluence.

too clever by 200%

[rebeccablack]

just gonna call a spade a spade - the migrant caravan is pure political theater. it is not a coincidence that a perfect visual representation of american immigration anxieties is marching to the border a week before the midterms. it doesnt take a sophisticate to think about who actually benefits from those optics.

there is a 0% chance that any of these migrants make it across the border, and the same thing will happen to them that would have happened under a democratic administration, other than the whole political haymaking part.

Both parties can benefit from the caravan depending on what happens, so who knows who started, but someone definitely did.

its an unambiguous lose/lose for liberals. if dem politicians take the bait and defend/align themselves with the migrants they alienate a lot of moderates and center-right people. if they condemn them they piss off the crazy open borders types in their own party.

[Raev]

Pence claims Venezuela & China. Trump claims Soros. Random guy on twitter claims Pueblo Sin Fronteras (https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1055494313029844992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5 Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1055494313029844992) from liberal activist groups from . . probably Soros.

I can't find anyone claiming the migrant caravan is funded by the Republicans. The NY Times simply claims no one is funding them (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/20/world/americas/migrant-caravan-video-trump.html), which is of course completely ridiculous considering the food and water, trucks, tents, and other aid they are receiving. Also, if it were really funded by Republicans the media would simply refuse to cover it.

its an unambiguous lose/lose for liberals. if dem politicians take the bait and defend/align themselves with the migrants they alienate a lot of moderates and center-right people. if they condemn them they piss off the crazy open borders types in their own party.

I'm not sure it's so simple. I don't think Trump's base will be happy if the caravan arrives and he meekly processes them for asylum. I think the most likely explanation is that Soros is hoping that Trump will deploy the National Guard, and there will be a blood bath, and then the media will start going on about Trump as the next Hitler who gunned down 5000 'harmless refugees'.

soros being some kind of liberal supervillain is just the most tiresome lazy meme in the world right now, without even getting into the uncomfortable antisemitic undertones that are always there.

and youre talking about weeks of negative political impact with all the coverage of the caravan just for the chance that some bloodshed at the end makes the other side look worse. its incredibly risky at best and hand wringingly evil at worst and in no way believable as the motive of real people in either case.

Already happening. The moment the caravan shows up and people start sliding over in the middle of the night at more distant crossing points, those caught will be searched for weapons or illegal goods / substances. Guns being found will = armed invaders. Bank on it.

The media is already setting the Caravan narrative: both MSN (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/us-militia-groups-head-to-border-stirred-by-trump%E2%80%99s-call-to-arms/ar-BBPiGxA) and CNN (https://dailycaller.com/2018/11/02/joe-scarborough-trump-marines-border-girls/) are priming us for a slaughter. Note that both articles are prima facie false: Trump has not issued a militia call to arms, and it's extremely unlikely he has ordered the marines to gun down the caravan when he could just use tear gas. The chance that there are a few agents in that caravan with sniper rifles and orders to shoot US troops? 100%.

Oregon sheriff releases illegal immigrant caught by ICE (https://www.koin.com/news/crime/ice-mcso-released-man-accused-in-wife-s-death/1569096666). Immigrant immediately goes home and stabs his wife to death (allegedly).

The problem they have is that all this stuff gets out. I honestly don't think we will have a Democratic party by the time Trump is up for reelection, and he runs unopposed.

Yea the truth is if the government was using nukes on its own people then good Lord that's like way after the collapse.

If you think that the military is going to ship all of their equipment back to America to drive tanks through Kansas City then you're also totally nuts.

like liberals think that the military would just side with whoever was in the White House.

the type of revolution that we would ever see in America would be one where the country was split into half or more and in that case the side with guns is going to be better suited to maintain their status quo and since the gun loving, good fearing, Constitution protective American people are the people that I want running this country I'd say it's pretty fair that they have the guns that they need to maintain that status quo.

you would have a lack of order for a decade that's worst case scenario you need guns to protect yourself in that situation.

hell and plenty of places in this country liberals don't even know exist still you definitely need guns for protection if not to protect you from bears but to protect you from crazy people! there's crazy people all over the goddamn place even out in the country where the police take an hour and a half to get to you.

A really interesting video on solar activity (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=M_yqIj38UmY). I don't expect any of you mongoloids to actually watch it, so I will attempt to summarize:

Zharkova (and her graduate students who did the real work) was originally involved in sunspot and magnetic field measurements of the Sun.
They built a oscillatory model for this data using PCA that predicts 93% of the variance of the solar cycle.
They found a reasonable physical interpretation of this model: the gases in the sun circulate up and down, generating magnetic fields. There are multiple layers, and the outer two are the most important. When they reinforce each other, we get a solar maximum, and when they cancel each other, we get a solar maximum.
The solar cycle is a cos^2(x) wave (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=solar+grand+minimum&t=ffab&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FZS2Hi_E7KtI%2 Fmaxresdefault.jpg) where the first period is about 22 years and the second is about 375 years. We are due for a Grand Minimum soon.
Solar magnetic activity protects the entire system from cosmic rays, which tend to destroy clouds. Water vapor is the biggest greenhouse gas, not CO2, and all big warming models rely on more clouds, which isn't likely to happen for the next 20 years.

TLDR: even if anthropogenic global warming is correct, we are likely to see global temperatures fall over the next 20-30 years. Just as it's very unclear that global warming is bad, it's not clear that global cooling is good. Lower sunlight means lower food production, and as resources become scarcer competition will increase. So you will see more of this (http://www.borderlandbeat.com/2018/11/a-caravan-migrant-is-kidnapped-he.html#more) (Caravan migrant talked shit on Facebook; Tijuanans tortured him to death).

Also extremely interesting: you can build a computer to generate controversial topics, and it works (http://slatestarcodex.com/2018/10/30/sort-by-controversial/): the company was destroyed and they may have randomly destroyed Mozambique (https://mg.co.za/article/2018-06-22-00-mozambiques-mysterious-insurgency) (correlation/causation warnings apply).

What will cause global warming: The "empathetic helping" of 3rd world countries.

What could stop global warming: Nothing short of some some magical regime that doesnt need world war 3 to ensure their authoritarian extermination of half the worlds population.

The liberals solution to global warming: Other people paying for things that people that have no money think we should pay for, so the people who have money can feel like they are helping instead of just being the greedy narcissists that want to watch netflix and eat fatty foods that they know damn well they are.

Al Gore returns to help the boys fight ManBearPig after no one took the problem seriously 12 years ago.

I think the scene with the pompous conservative husband and liberal wife in the restaurant captured the situation best.

That being said... It's true that there is a lot of wild guesswork involved in most doomsday global warming theories. Trying to deny its happening is full blown retarded at this point though.

All I can say is, if you take this issue seriously try to look like it. Hollywood doesn't qualify. None of those people look like they give a shit. Because they all vacation all over the globe constantly, use private/ first-class air fair and own 100 cars.

It's not for everyone else to solve global warming while you change nothing about your own life.

[mickmoranis]

I ask any liberal here to say answer this question:

"What kind of changes would we have had to make in the last 30 years to not have global warming be a threat today, show me the science behind your claims"

Try to be realistic, dont say, "we replace car's with hyperloops"

You wont be able to answer this question because there is no measurable impact humans can have on global climate change that isn't science fantasy.

It's probably confirmation bias. The probability that something like this is happening somewhere is near 100%, just not as effectively. And it was a good story!

Oh and the Guardian is not a random blog. Here for example is the NY Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/22/world/europe/hillary-clinton-migration-populism-europe.html):


“I think Europe needs to get a handle on migration because that is what lit the flame,” Mrs. Clinton said in the interview with The Guardian, which was conducted before the United States midterm elections this month.

“I admire the very generous and compassionate approaches that were taken particularly by leaders like Angela Merkel, but I think it is fair to say Europe has done its part, and must send a very clear message — ‘we are not going to be able to continue provide refuge and support’ — because if we don’t deal with the migration issue it will continue to roil the body politic,” she said.

Critical Thinking isn't a trait many hookworm infested redhats have.

A million one-off mistakes and social media shares = FAKE NEWS. This is a perfect example of that phenomenon when it is legitimate. You read a fictional piece, took it as fact, did not bother to research, shared it to a group of people, some of which probably also read it as fact (*cough* Mick,) and thus starting the domino effect. Maybe you do your fact-checking 99% of the time, but the 1% matters too with bullshit like this.

This is something I feel VERY strongly about, even when it comes to headlines or articles favoring democrats i.e. a meme got passed around amongst people I respect and agree with most of the time that showed a quote from Donald Trump saying if he ever ran for president he'd go republican because they are the dumbest voters and believe anything on Fox News. While this lent proof to the fact that Trump is a liar unfit for the presidency, willing to do anything to gain power, I was skeptical. Sure enough, it was fake. He never said that. I commented that to my friends that posted it. SPREAD TRUTH, DUDES

Fake news everywhere. The UK is as bad. Not everyone has to like Tommy Robinson to understand that the media hates him, tells lies and latches onto a planted piece of evidence and makes a story out of it.

Recent example, he takes his registration off his car and puts one with a personalised one that would cost maybe 200k-500k GBP...then posted a photo on the internet to see what would happen. The media took the bait and went on a rampage to say "look at what his 'supporters' are paying for!!!!"

Add in what's going on with Brexit etc...it's no wonder nobody watches the news anymore, it's 90% bullshit.

What a load of pretentious garbage! In reality any information retrieval system has both false positives and false negatives; the only way to completely avoid false positives is to not return any results. There is a reason confirmation bias exists: no one has time to process every piece of information in exquisite detail. The key is to update your perspective when incorrect. Moreover, not every piece of information is equally important. There is an entire literature on generating persuasive statements, and computers are almost certainly being used to do so. Being wrong in this particular case barely changes my overall world view.

TLDR: I'm quite satisfied with being right 99% of the time and being wrong about unimportant things 1% of the time. I am not going to diligently fact check every post I make to off topic. You are welcome to follow me around pointing out any mistakes.

P.S. You are completely wrong about fake news: the problem is not social media sharing dubious information, but the systematic bias of our major networks. In other words, it's not actually incorrect information per se, but the ratio of that information. For example, Australia had record cold temperatures last summer, but you didn't read about that in the NYT because they only share evidence that favors the global warming narrative.

Both are problems.

The media has to compete with the internet, which can plagiarize, produce, and share at a lightning pace. This means "fact finding" journalism no longer needs skilled writers, journalists, fixers, etc.

Just hire a college intern with an ear to social media and you have yourself a 'news site'.

So the old guard has to play catch up and they end up selling out integrity and truth so they can pay the bills. What you end up with is borderline gossip yellow journalism with click bait articles and all.

Fact checking is too time consuming, so they've been outsourced to other organizations like Snopes (which I'm SURE is unbiased...)

Also, social media sharing misinformation is also a big problem.

It's usually attributed to the right wing but it's just as bad on the left.

I believe there was a study that found the largest shared links on Facebook among leftists came from "Occupy Democrats", which has a HORRIBLE reputation for being flat out false. They have a terrible rating from News Guard for example.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-15/temperatures-plummet-as-cold-snap-hits-nsw/9995858

A cold snap has delivered some of the chilliest temperatures in decades to parts of Australia’s east coast, with more frosty mornings to come. Both Parkes and Cowra in New South Wales have set new all-time coldest minimum temperature records today with the mercury dropping to -6.6 and -5.8 degrees respectively. Both sites opened back in 1958.

Although it does seem that on the whole it was warmer than average. The point is that unbiased news sources would be mentioning both sides.

Pretentious, lol. I'm encouraging you to find other sources, especially when coming from a fucking templated tumblr blog that doesn't source ANYTHING. You honestly are okay with that? What would you say if I presented trumpcolluded.im4everwithher.com and showed you a post about some left group that gained evidence by hacking or something? But they don't show the evidence, they just explain it. Come on, dude. I'm being pretentious by suggesting you make sure you have your facts straight, even when they don't support my side. That's literally the opposite of pretentious. LOOK IT UP.

[Raev]

Pretentious : characterized by pretension: such as
a : making usually unjustified or excessive claims (as of value or standing) the pretentious fraud who assumes a love of culture that is alien to him— Richard Watts
b : expressive of affected, unwarranted, or exaggerated importance, worth, or stature

Your hysterical bleating about how I need to fact check my off topic posts because I'm only 99% correct is the definition of pretentious. Let's apply this standard to you:

fucking templated tumblr blog that doesn't source ANYTHING

Slate Star Codex is normally a very academic blog, to the point that I unsubscribed because I got tired of reading it. For example, check out his post on preschool (http://slatestarcodex.com/2018/11/13/preschool-much-more-than-you-wanted-to-know/). Looks like you just talk a big game but don't follow through. Newsflash: no one does. It takes too much time. It's OK to be wrong occasionally, even frequently, as long as you update your world view afterwards.

What would you say if I presented trumpcolluded.im4everwithher.com and showed you a post about some left group that gained evidence by hacking or something?

I would point out that you were wrong and leave at at that, rather than desperately status signaling about how I am a paragon of truth.

I wouldn't want be satisfied with believing I was right 99% of the time. That itself creates a blindspot as does determining what is and isn't important. That is also where bias arises from. Maybe at a later stage in mankind's existence that kind of accuracy will be possible on average.

Social media itself is not the problem but how it's being (ab)used is presenting a problem of credibility and consensus. And yet, given enough time to develope, mainstream media and social media will probably merge with the viewer becoming a contributor by default. So both may just become the soft solution to the problem people and their biases are creating through each.

Audiences will go to whichever media outlet clangs the bell they want to hear, so they can salivate. Most of the time it only serves to reaffirm what they already believe, either side of a narrative that has been around long before the television and radio.

Social media on the other hand offers an outlet for beliefs once so obscure they were not influential on society as a whole. And that interactive propaganda is now coming out of every dark corner of society, connecting instantaneously worldwide. Case in point, flat earthers. And now that theory has become the news, legitimizing itself in a sense because enough people actually believe it to where they can shape our world (figuratively).

Before social media outliers, insane assholes, and revolutionaries had to meet out by the docks at night, in coffee houses, etc. The madness was largely self-contained while few great ideas still filtered through, especially when it came to art.

Also, as a counterpoint to your last example, the NYT just covered a similar incident and only mentioned global warming once, at the very bottom, because the person interviewed made the statement. That being said, warming trends in the climate and one continent having unseasonably cold weather are not incompatible with one another.

And now that theory has become the news, legitimizing itself in a sense because enough people actually believe it to where they can shape our world (figuratively).

Before social media outliers, insane assholes, and revolutionaries had to meet out by the docks at night, in coffee houses, etc. The madness was largely self-contained while few great ideas still filtered through, especially when it came to art.

Also, as a counterpoint to your last example, the NYT just covered a similar incident and only mentioned global warming once, at the very bottom, because the person interviewed made the statement. That being said, warming trends in the climate and one continent having unseasonably cold weather are not incompatible with one another.

Slate Star Codex is normally a very academic blog, to the point that I unsubscribed because I got tired of reading it. For example, check out his post on preschool (http://slatestarcodex.com/2018/11/13/preschool-much-more-than-you-wanted-to-know/). Looks like you just talk a big game but don't follow through. .

Okay but the specific blog you posted has 0 sources yet you blindly trusted it and spread it around as fact.

Newsflash: no one does. It takes too much time. It's OK to be wrong occasionally, even frequently, as long as you update your world view afterwards.

This is exactly my point. No one does and it is dangerous. It is okay to be wrong occasionally, not frequently, as long as you a) update your view afterwards (which you did not -- you basically said, "well I'm sure someone has made it anyway,") b) retract whatever sharing of the article/blog/meme in question that you participated in. Why aren't you debating this point while also claiming the mainstream media is not to be trusted?

Of course I updated my viewpoint. Before reading the article, I believed that persuasion and hypnosis techniques were regularly used at the highest level of political discourse. I had never considered using machine learning to do it, but it's a completely reasonable thing to do with NLP. After reading the article, I believed that machine learning could do it better than people. After realizing the article was fiction, I continue to believe that machines can (purely a priori) and probably do generate persuasive and hypnotic statements, but that people are still better at it.

I freely admitted that I was trolled by a fictional article (or if you prefer, wrong) and anyone who reads the thread will realize this.

Very disappointed with General Motors and their CEO, Mary Barra, for closing plants in Ohio, Michigan and Maryland. Nothing being closed in Mexico & China. The U.S. saved General Motors, and this is the THANKS we get! We are now looking at cutting all @GM subsidies, including....

....for electric cars. General Motors made a big China bet years ago when they built plants there (and in Mexico) - don’t think that bet is going to pay off. I am here to protect America’s Workers!

Pretentious, lol. I'm encouraging you to find other sources, especially when coming from a fucking templated tumblr blog that doesn't source ANYTHING. You honestly are okay with that? What would you say if I presented trumpcolluded.im4everwithher.com and showed you a post about some left group that gained evidence by hacking or something? But they don't show the evidence, they just explain it. Come on, dude. I'm being pretentious by suggesting you make sure you have your facts straight, even when they don't support my side. That's literally the opposite of pretentious. LOOK IT UP.

Back in my day a person didn't speak about stuff like this unless they had something credible backing them up on geopolitics etc... what the fuck happened. Reading this thread just shows the massive brain drain happening on the far right, its the same as the brain drain on the left, but at least they have enough sense to realize that there are issues like global climate change and warming or that that the current "economy building" happening is a bubble that we've seen other administrations build and burst in the past.

What happened to people? Is this really just tumblr and social media making people who normally kept their mouths shut because they knew they were too stupid to speak about these things, do they... feel vindicated now? I'm coming from the stance of center, center right politics too, I believe in a balance but I believe in conservative economics but just... when I was at the local United Conservative Party assembly there were people legit trying to brainwash new members and young men with all this hilariously obvious and moronic standpoints that had no evidence or went clear against science and fact.


Like... what is going on. I had to legit leave because this chick named Lawren Southern just would not shut the hell up with her fear mongering BS, are there men that are this terrified of the world they are willing to deny outright facts or see the forest for the trees? Also, it's good to see some people such as yourself with sense on here, EverQuest used to be one of the most chill and cool communities I ever have seen in an MMO, reading this forum made it sound like project 1999 would be another Rebel Media/Stormfront alt-right hug box.

Not really.

Paris Accord was already a failure before the great and smart Trump got us out of it lololol

https://youtu.be/P0tYk2BIkok

"The last 30 years has seen successive governments cutting taxes for big companies and capital, privatising services and such. This loss of revenue was compensated by cutting costs in rural areas like closing schools, hospitals, train lines and all that made life there livable on the cheap. This has been an issue for a while, and most regions in France are loosing population in favour of very few economic centers. Small rural areas and even major cities like toulouse are loosing population to the capital, London, and the Rhône region, while old industrial heartlands are progressively deserted and agricultural regions survive with difficulty. Meanwhile, INSEE (public office of statistics in France) have show that living standards for the bottom 70% of earners have frozen since the last nineties, and class mobility which increased for every generation since wwII has been decreasing for the first time in the 2002 study. President Hollande cancelled the 2012 study out of fear it could engender too much contestation.

This constitutes the backdrop of the whole issue. Now for the trigger.

The last lifeline for poor rural folk was their ability to find work far from home by being able to afford transportation. Having a car, and being able to afford fuel, is equivalent to being able to continue living for most rural people and the urban poor that have been relegated to far from city centres by gentrification and increasingly unaffordable housing.

So when président announces that older vehicles (the only ones poor people can afford) will be taxed more to encourage people to buy newer vehicles, that these vehicles will loose the right to be driven on polluted days, and that the fuel they use (diesel) will be taxed a lot more, you directly attack the lively hood of millions of people across the country.

These measures, taken in the name of global warming, are seen as widely hypocritical by the poeple."

WaPo hammers Ocasio Cortez (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/12/04/alexandria-ocasio-cortezs-trillion-mistake/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.1ea149590dac) over her statement that the $21 trillion in Pentagon accounting errors could have paid for Medicare for all. Considering that this woman is a space cadet who can barely form a coherent sentence and thinks that the three branches of government are the presidency, the Senate, and the House, her critique of the Pentagon is probably the most correct thing she has tweeted all year. But the machine won't support politicians that expose corruption.

Apple CEO Tim Cook wants to ban all negative comments (https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/12/03/apple-ceo-tim-cook-banning-hate-division-is-right-thing-to-do/) on Apple platforms. Amazingly, these rules will only be applied to Republicans.

It's amazing to me how well r/k theory explains things like this. Mick is a k-strategist optimized for competition in hard times who views the return of scarcity as a positive. Feniin is an r-strategist who is hugely triggered by the possibility, because he realizes that he is likely to be among the culled. He then writes a long post about how the k-strategists who want to kill him are weak, while he bravely runs away from conflict - which is obviously absurd.

Really, r-strategists should be desperately voting for Trump. If they keep voting for the Democratic Corpostate, things will get so bad that the culling might actually happen.

he's more of a kkk-strategist.

2016 called and they want their jokes back. At this point all Trump supporters are used to being called racist misogynistic homophobic asshole deplorables, so when progressives inevitably resort to the racist card we just think 'oh, another NPC'.

[mickmoranis]

the sad thing is every time i meet a trump supporter, they are 100% different from the last trump supporter I met.

But 100% of the liberals I meet misquote John Oliver & Trevor Noah talking points and try to remind me about everything Jimmy Kimmel said last night.

When Trump supporters stop being racist, misogynistic, homophobic, asshole deplorables, I'll stop referring to them as such.

Maybe you should take a look in the mirror and at the people you run with. Neo Nazis and Klansmen do not make for acceptable company.

^ This is essentially kafkatrapping.

I'll stop calling you a baby rapist when you stop raping babies.

I saw you tearing apart a baby's limbs.

You should cut that out.

Your dick is too big, bro.

Stop raping babies.

Literally gangbangers support the candidates that you vote for.

so the people that support the candidate that I vote for protest and say stupid things.

The people that support the people that you vote for literally murder 14 year olds and sell other 14 year olds drugs.

Your logic makes no sense.

and you might try looking in the mirror also.i don't support trump, just hate the radical left more. the stifling of free speech on college campuses is more a existential threat than anything i've seen trump fuck up on.

t.two time obama voter.

and honestly paying a shit load into ACA as a single white dude prolly made me a republican for life i just haven't come to grips with it yet

:cool:

remember when democrats like to talk about "the party flipping" durring the 60s?

I honestly think there is another flip in the making.

Right now the republican(TRUMP) party is

1. making terrifs to bring jobs back (bernie sanders policy)
2. reducing our military use all over the world (bernie sanders policy)
3. trying to make a better accessible path for immigration (bernie sanders policy)
4. draining the swamp/fighting corruption (bernie sanders policy)

I could see libertarians winning after trump. Hope they do!

5. accountability for goverment operations like the POLICE (sanders)
6. end war on drugs (sanders)
7. Removal of cannabis from Schedule I (all libs)

I mean the list goes on and on...

Lets be totally frank.

The reason liberals HATE republicans is because in the 1990's we rebelled against organized religion, and religion is prevalent in republican politicians and policy.

That movement is almost 40 years old, and totally finished.

There is no reason to be mad at daddy and mommy anymore.

Morning pals! Just stopped by by to let everyone know that green ideology signals social senescence. It's the great barrier, the reason there are no great spacefaring civilizations and why we've been spinning the same wheel for 2 million years. the left is still garbage, the right has aged well past impotence and whether or not people of able-bodied worldview muster the cerebral wherewithal to rend the rot, the west is at an end. it's been a good run guys. grab whatever delusion tickles 🤗 your fancy, be it of god or man or something altogether different and give it a comforting squeeze.


Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 🎄

Twitter doesn't like Republicans, but they have no problem with pedophiles (https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/12/04/twitter-allows-self-proclaimed-pedophiles-to-spread-their-message-on-its-platform/).

China working hard to pass 1984 (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/china-social-credit-system-flight-booking-blacklisted-beijing-points-a8646316.html)


The aim, according to Hou Yunchun, former deputy director of the development research centre of the State Council, is to make “discredited people become bankrupt”, he said earlier this year.

Mueller is still going after Podesta (https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/federal-prosecutors-ramp-up-probe-of-manafort-linked-podesta-group-and-more/), which is really quite strange. I really have no idea what's going on there.

I really think by 2020 people are going to realize that Trump is the only one who is actually working for regular Americans. The Democrats are all about corporate welfare.

[mickmoranis]

you know why you dont hear anything about the imigrant caravan at the border anymore or, I should say really at all?

Because:

1. it turns out all of them came for economic prosperity.
2. Because Trump knows how to empower the right people to get the job done right.

Another win for trump!

It seems that in this thread are more speculation and personal opinions than facts.

Did you know that the color blue is a modern construct? Most cultures did not "see" blue until recently. The prof can be found in language.

Keith Olbermann quit his "The Resistance" show over a year ago. (https://thehill.com/homenews/media/362068-keith-olbermann-i-am-retiring-from-political-commentary)

His excuse was that he thought he destroyed Trump and he would be removed from office within the next 13 months, so he completed his mission.

Lol

STDs on the rise. (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-6467611/Four-emerging-STIs-afford-ignore.html) Note how they are disproportionately spread by gays. There is a reason the Bible (and the Koran) say gays should be stoned to death. Things have been so good that no one has cared, but if the k-shift continues . . .

Christianity on the rise in Italian classrooms (https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/in-blow-to-political-correctness-italy-wants-crucifixes-and-nativity-scenes). The cool and normal people in the west are rejecting the globalist multicult.

Central americans are tired of their incompetent r-selected governments, so they try to kill the criminals themselves (https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-a-continent-awash-in-crime-citizens-impose-their-own-brutal-justice-1544110959).

Canada encouraging concerned citizens to have fewer children (https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/climate/having-children-causes-global-warming-as-the-leading-cause-of-58-6/) supposedly to prevent global warming. Canada has something like 1.6 births per woman, which is already far below replacement rate. And yet, no one is trying to similarly prune the African population. Sounds racist to me.

If you just came out of the closet and stopped self-hating you would feel a lot better about the world. The most homophobic always seem to be closet cases that don't understand their feelings and think they can pray the gay away.

You just aren't very good at this, are you? When you are insulting someone, you have to pick something that they are actually insecure about for it to work, not project your own insecurities onto them.

For example, the reason this thread triggers you so badly even though I'm only posting facts (and the occasional error!) and not personally attacking anyone is that you are insecure about your ability to survive the coming hard times.

Do you actually think there's going to be some sort of civil war? Are you just champing at the bit to kill some leftists?

Your ammosexual, homicidal fantasy is just that -- a fantasy. There's no hard times coming other than trying to purge out the shitstorm Trump has caused. Maybe you and your buddies can go with him to Russia when he flees the country.

[ScaringChildren]

maybe its not trump but the mass soul crushing alienation from a consensus culture without any aesthetic standards, which caused trump, that is the enemy

makes U think

*turns up the sibelius, cuz im crazytown clockwork orange*

You're asking a leftist to self-reflect? Good luck
