Politics The Trump Crazy Train!

Thanks for the reply! Some interesting stuff in there, let's dive in.

As far as stopping traffic goes, I believe that's currently illegal. So I'm not sure what more you want to do. Lock them up? Huge fines? Shoot on sight?

As far as cutting off aid based on bad decision-making, who is to be the judge of that?
And what if that poor decision maker has kids? Punish the kids? Put them in an orphanage?
Do people learn to make better decisions if they don't get any support?
What if they simply aren't capable of making good decisions? Some people are broken.
Is society at large better off if you cut off aid to such people? Doesn't that tend to increase homelessness, crime, and general desperation? Isn't it cheaper to provide the aid than deal with the effects of no aid?
Of all the positions of yours that you listed, this is the only one that seems even remotely "republican" to me. You definitely took Reagan's "welfare queen" rhetoric to heart.

You agree with that? That we should abandon our allies, cozy up to Putin and other dictators, be hostile to other religions and generally anyone non-white, withdraw from global commerce, etc.?

As far as a test to be able to vote goes, that has been used effectively in the past to prevent certain 'undesirables' from voting, and has since been judged unconstitutional. But maybe as a compromise we could count the votes of those who fail the test as 3/5ths of a vote?

You don't have to call me a cat, but I will sharpen my nails on your leg anyway.

Damn, that's a ton of drugs in the White House.

Fucking Hunter Biden.

 

That graph is probably more so comparing liberal mindedness to conservative mindedness rather than Democrat and Republican. Those are really just the political parties we associate with and are actually quite different in how they are work currently in government. The Republicans are taking away a lot of people's civil rights. They are doing the exactly the thing you are saying you don't want, trying to force others to acknowledge or believe their way of thinking.

Are Democrats really doing that? I don't see it that way.

Republicans have used religion to try and force beliefs or ways of thinking. It's become extreme to the point it's being used to take away people's rights.

But Liberals and Conservatives do share some core views yes. Family, friends, community, etc

Yes, there is a breakdown at science. This sudden rejection of science by the right is head scratching.

I believe in science. Science says life starts with a heartbeat, not at conception.

I believe in spiritually. Religion can be good but is too often abused and is used to separate people and create divisiveness, the opposite for what it's intended to be.

I agree with limited government overreach in the private sector. I agree with oversight of corporations to curb corruption.

I believe in the constitution and the structure of government. I see the corruption and abuse of both though. I don't often agree with those elected to offices. I see a lot of damage being done.

I believe in campaign finance reform.

Independents should be able to vote in whichever primary they want.

I don't agree completely with America first because it entails cutting off help and support to all of our allies like Ukraine and undermining economic partnerships. We need to find a balance between better taking care of ourselves here (I e. homelessness, mental health, wealth gap etc) and helping abroad.

The welfare state is complex. Yeah, some people maybe lazy and gaming the system, but the wealth gap and Inflation is so much it's hard to impossible to keep up with, hence people needing and staying on government aid.

I don't think kids should be voting. They aren't mature enough to make these important choices. They would be to easily manipulated. Though, sadly that is happening to a lot of adults lately. Which is probably part of the wheel chair bound woman in the videos issue.

Media should be better regulated, but a lot of what is being referred to as fake news, isn't fake news. That's mostly just a childish phrase that politicians like Trump are using to attack media referring to them in a not so good light. Could the media be fairer, better, sure.

Sure, generally speaking men have penises and women have vaginas. That is after all what was in our middle school and high school textbooks growing up, what we learned naturally.

Science does support being transgender.

It doesn't appear the guy doing the speech in the video wanted to have a legitimate conversation. He told the transgender woman she had fooled others into thinking she was female. He seemed to not have any intention of being convinced otherwise.

The transgender woman seemed to struggle and probably wasn't as articulate as she maybe could have been. But, I got it.

This man was trying to get her to convince him (not really) why she thought/felt/knew she was a woman. He said, he only saw a man, because he wasn't willing to see a woman. I saw a woman, because she said she was. I don't need convincing. She identifies as a woman. She's a woman. I don't care what's under her jeans or shirt. It's the truth because it's her truth and many others truths and I accept that as the truth. I think women have vaginas and some transgender people are women can both be true.

Why does that guy care so much? Why do so many care so much that they have to have a speaking seminar where they all have to stand around and proclaim women have tits and vaginas?

 

Looks like the Trumps went out with a bang.

No horse tranquilizers for Donald?
