    we have been listening and witnessing the last 4 years.
    America got tired of the non common sense approach that this admin was making in its decision.
    I know 90% of this board disagrees with me on that statement, but clearly going by the results of this election (landslide EC and winning PV) the majority of people in the US agree with me.

    And no I will not provide a link for every non common sense approach the Biden/Harris admin has made, which some of you will request.

    They give double mastectomies and puberty blockers to minors. So warped and disgusting.

    Why has the left rallied behind this? You all literally just go the opposite of what ever trump says.

    I'm not asking for a link because I can show you how your idea is deeply flawed without it.

    Four years ago, we were in the midst of a global pandemic. Half a million Americans already had died. Millions more had been infected. Businesses had closed. Other businesses were struggling because of mitigation efforts. The supply chain was a disaster.

    The U.S. economy was at its worst since the Great Depression, and was fairly worse than any country like us in the world.

    We had a leader who'd already done a lot of questionable things after inheriting a great economy from his predecessor, a president, who, BTW, the new president had constantly pushed unfounded rumors about his birthright.

    That current president created all kinds of division during 2020, first telling Americans COVID wasn't a big deal that would be gone in a matter of days, to sending mixed messages about whether masking was good or bad, to openly disagreeing with his own immunologist to telling people that maybe ingesting disinfectant or shooting UV light into themselves could be a cure.

    Then he lost the election. He challenged the results, which was his right, but all his legal efforts -- more than 60 -- failed. Then he incited his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol to delay the transfer of power so he could figure out another way to keep it.

    As a result, he was impeached in a bipartisan vote and was only a few votes from being removed from office by the Senate.

    The president that took over for him almost immediately got a bipartisan infrastructure bill passed that his predecessor had promised and, like so many other things, proved ineffective and failed in doing.

    After initial issues getting the economy back on its feet which led to some of the highest inflation figures in the last 50 years, the new president got things turned around. The U.S. economy caught up with similar nations as it recovered and then surpassed them. Some prices even started to recede.

    Now we have some of our lowest inflation numbers ever. We recouped the jobs we lost during the previous president's term and added in record numbers. The stock market reached new highs. And salary figures surpassed those of inflation.

    When Russia attacked Ukraine, our aid helped the smaller nation not only stop the aggressor hold out longer than the few weeks that was originally expected, to the point that it continues to fight today and even took the fight across the Russian border.

    Illegal immigration, a problem for decades, continued to be an issue. After his predecessor pressured his party not to pass a bi-partisan deal authored by one of the most conservative legislators in the country, an executive order was put into effect that dropped illegal entries to their lowest figures in years. BTW, the number of actual stops at the border were higher than ever, despite the problematic state of staffing there created during the previous term.

    The new president also helped build on the immensely popular ACA by cutting a deal with pharmaceutical companies to cap prices for insulin for senior Americans. The previous president tried unsuccessfully to cut the entire ACA without any replacement, an action that would have left millions of Americans without healthcare.

    Yeah, I don't need any links to show that what you think was common sense had a lot more to do with partisan bias and rhetoric. You are right, your view is common, and you are right that the majority of voters voted along with you. But sense? There's not a lot of sense in voting this guy back in, no. He failed the first time when he had ever reason to succeed.

    Now he's got no guardrails, is implementing an economic plan that economists all over the world say will drive up U.S. inflation six times, and is replacing lifelong civil servants with party lackeys. If he fails, it will all be on him, his party, and people like you that were so caught up in slogans that they couldn't even realize or admit things were pretty good and trending even better.

    We'll see how your "common sense" works out now with a lot of unprepared people working in the diplomatic corps all over the world, in things like FEMA, when the Department of Education is eliminated, yeah, I'm really anxious to see how that works out and if you'll still be around here if it goes sideways.

    Have a good day.

    All that needs to be done is to end is to enforcement the same laws that used to be applied to men who violate women's spaces.

    No, you are NOT a woman, you're a fucking deluded creep.

    Because that's a huge exaggeration and the left actually was rallying behind an at-risk segment of our population that was being oppressed and committing suicide at massive rates while being denied even the most basic gender-affirming care like proper counseling?

    You tread in hyperbole like most people walk around their house.

    They are not oppressed. They are oppressing women when they invade their spaces and sports.

    Trans activists push their pronouns and language policing on society, and use their protected class to intimidate people into compliance.

    Studies have proven these treatments provide no net benefit to suicide. That's B's they made up to justify it,and scare parents into giving their children gender mutilation.

    Fuck NATO. Defend your own fucking cotinent you European pussies. That's not to say we don't step in if someone bombs the UK, but Europe relies on us too much.

    Your fixation on allowing the sexual mutilation of children, and creeps in female locker rooms is disgusting.

    The sports thing is very rare. Stop acting like that's a thing. It happens in extremely limited situations, and it is being worked out.

    But anyone thinking that teenage (or younger) boys are undergoing sex changes en masse just to get college scholarships is off their rocker.

    The bathroom issue also is something that doesn't mean what you think it means. Look at Chaz Bono's recent photos and tell me if that's who you want in a women's bathroom because they were born with a vagina. You don't think these things through.

    "Trans activists pushing pronouns" only is an issue if you are really insecure, weak-minded and easily triggered. It hurts no one. Call everybody "they" like I've done since the 1960s. No one is losing their home, meal or job over it, so stop acting like a very minor inconvenience to you is a big thing. It's not.

    I can't believe I have to explain the treatment and suicide thing to do. It's counseling at a young age. It's also keeping people like you freaking losing your mind over someone having a different problem or worldview from you and being bullied by groups of empathy-challenged neanderthals who need to punch down at someone because they don't understand the world and loathe themselves. It's about dealing with the stereotyping, the scapegoating for problems in the country that have nothing to do with them. It's about the mental stress they shouldn't have to deal with just to be left alone and live their lives.

    See, you are doing more to impose your worldview on them than they are on you, and that's not right.

    It's the same thing that made Blacks slaves on this continent for centuries and we fought a war over. It's the same thing that kept Asians living in squalor and ridicule at they built our western railroads. It's the same thing that kept women from voting. It's the same that denied mixed-race couples from getting married and put gays into mental institutions as recently as the 1970s.

    You display an unnecessary fear and anger over something that doesn't impact your life at all. It's so extreme that it seems there might be something more to it. But, at its base, it indicates a lack of understanding and being informed and a lack of empathy. It also indicates an issue with prioritizing, a fixation on minor things that are insignificant to your own personal existence.

    You're actually going out of your way to hurt people who in almost every respect are just like you, and you are rationalizing reasons to do it that show you haven't taken a minute to actually look into the other side of the issue. That, my friend, is not cool and not what I always was taught adults do.

    I'm not allowing anything. I'm just pointing out the hysteria the Right wallows in based on lies, disinformation and ignorance. THAT is what is disgusting.

    It's interesting how bigots cry about being treated the way they treat other people that aren't like them.

    That's exactly what you're advocating for, no matter how you try to spin it.

    These are the games you lefties play, "It doesn't happen --->it's too rare to worry about--->ok it happens but it's not a problem."

    Just stick to one position. It's not rare, it just happened in oregon.

    It's funny to watch you guys be like "Donalwd Twump is going to bwing back wacism and wape!"

    I heard the same shit in 2016. And there was a huge string of FAKE racism incidents the legacy media reported on, they were all fucking fake. Concocted by deranged leftists to push a narrative. And you're pulling out this card AGAIN.

    If the country were anything like you said,you wouldn't have to make that shit up.
