Both parties want power (wow you're smart), but if you're operating under the understanding that both parties will do *whatever* it takes to gain and keep power, then you have the naiveté of a small, stupid child.
Yeah, surely we're the naive party on this topic. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is just you showing your ignorance and illustrating how quickly you jump to incorrect assumptions without facts. I lived on the southeast side of that shithole for more than 2 decades so I know exactly what I'm talking about when I say it's mostly a shithole. But keep boasting about the city's GDP (rofl) like that's relevant. I just can't ...

Third in the nation in GDP, bitch. We get it done.

How are those ruby red cities of ours' doing, anyway?


Edit: Oh, and I've had the Chicago Tribune delivered to me for as long as I can remember.

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are not pre-existing conditions. We just shame people for the wrong things.

Low taxes, gun rights, closed borders

All overwhelmingly popular everywhere, right wing populism regularly wins elections globally

Because of this simple fact. We like the smell of our own farts and don’t want to smell others farts.

Not because of popularity.

64% of Americans believe gun laws should be more strict.
64% of Americans believe immigration rates should be increased or kept the same
60% of Americans believe that border wall construction should not continue
48% of Americans believe the federal taxation rate is fine

Right wing "populism" does not win because of actual populism.

Look at this guy posting poll results like it’s 1983. Polls are trash. The West and it’s tenants have lifted the world population out of poverty. World hunger is essentially a solved issue. Go watch Fiddler on the Roof

Polls are trash because you don't want to be exposed to the fact that you are in a minority.

I agree that the term “populism” doesn’t reflect the historical definition, but I’d also ask you to dig deeper into those polls. People say a lot of things when a certain answer is expected socially, then you go to family dinner and they tell you the Chinese should be made into batteries like in the matrix for what they’re doing to the Uighurs (my father said this, I died laughing)
