oh yeah and all his executive orders not being shut down? yeah then it'll be an autocracy.
But the country hasn't transitioned to authoritarian dictatorship yet. When citizens disappear for saying the wrong thing, and you have only news agencies spouting pro government news and no dissent is tolerated...then you'll know.
I've lived in a dictatorship and currently living in a theocracy disguised as a republic and America is NOT yet in an authoritarian state. It has a wanna be dictator in charge and he's hired a whole bunch of idiots that don't know how to do their job and yes they are wrecking a lot of things.
You wonder what's going on in a person's head who thinks..."yeah I'm gonna make a difference shooting kids."
yeah I agree the impersonations are pretty atrocious.
How do people believe in compulsive liars? They should be studied. If there is a root cause we can try to root that out of society.
Meidas is OKAY, very click baity, I wish they addressed what they said in the thumbnail. David Pakman is more honest, and he does try to give the right an opportunity in his reporting, when the right has those rare moments of logical decisions.
Anyone who follows RFK's advice deserves a Darwin award.
Using your emotions to decide anything is a terrible idea.
I wonder how many people do follow his advice. Hasn't he made decisions about the healthcare of the country? Didn't he suggest to let birdflu run its course and didn't 0% of chicken companies follow that advice, because reps followed up saying flu from wild birds infect domestic birds is idiotic?
Morons should follow RFK's advice, then there would be less of them. We should stop herding the idiots from cliffs, just watch them run off them.
America's past time that it just can't get away from.
My argument to them is? how much ammo you have for all those guns...oh like 4 reloads? and how many guns can you hold? and your family hold? and how many people would you be willing to arm in the event of tyranny? Oh none? Ah I see that tyranny will win.
hole. Phonological dyslexia is infuriating.
The irony is actually burning a whole through my palate
then kill me and be done with it.
Not ALL the right are nazis jfc. you need power tools to get through that thick skull of yours. Not all republicans are Trumplers either. Not every single conservative is a white nationalist or a phobe or an ist. The "nazis" are incapable of debate anyways because their only reaction is slurs.
The right wing is full of ideas that can't survive in a marketplace of free ideas. They only thrive in echo chambers. No one here engages in healthy debate. Block everyone you disagree with or dogpile the fuck out of them and then get them banned from mass reporting. Real healthy behavior.
Then get rid of the Bill of Rights, because it doesn't matter when you cherry pick who's voice is allowed to exist or not, that would be extremely authoritarian of you to suggest that only your opinions should see the light of day.
What am I apologizing for or are you incapable of articulating that?
So now you have elevated your argument to the right wing / conservatives being comprised entirely of ultranationalists and nazis. Cool. You are part of the irrational left that jumps to the extreme assumption. Anyone who doesn't agree with me is a nazi.
why do you keep falling back on that? I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about intellectuals that can think outside of the paradigm.
There should be an IQ base for government officials. Mensa members only. Maybe that's too extreme. I dunno I want people that can perceive multiple perspectives and not just their own narrow view of the world. Leadership isn't about yourself or your own camp. It involves everyone.
I voted for her also. I don't know why there is a stigma against voting in over qualified people. We need to desperately return to a meritocracy.
yes it is. And it's gonna happen and it will be in accordance with the executive order until it is deemed unconstitutional which can take up to several years. It's real bad right now.
a recent example is a 1 year jail sentence for burning the American flag. A right protected under the 1st Amendment. Also you can burn all the flags. How many people will get incarcerated before the circuit courts and supreme court rule that as unconstitutional?
The executive order stands until it is ruled as unconstitutional. This is why its so dangerous to have literal morons in office. I wonder how long it's going to take for the American voting population to decide to vote, like the whole voting population not less than half of them.
yes. how long for it to get officially recognized as unconstitutional? How much damage will these executive orders do to the country while the rusted gears of the bearueocracy slowly turn to undo the law?
I don't care either, it's nothing statement there was no endorsement that followed cool at the bbq. You know I wish the right was this literal about Trump telling them to drink/inject household cleaner during covid. We might not be needing to talk about any of this.
this is how the government works. it's broken.
His advice to let the bird flu run it's course is beyond irresponsible. His anti vaccination stance is criminal.
I can still think that RFK is a piece of shit dirt bag whose health advice is going to AND HAS killed a lot of people and also ignore what Chris Pratt said and still enjoy his movie roles. Chris isn't gonna change my opinion of RFK, I'm perfectly capable of thinking on my own.
He made a whole bunch of unconstitutional executive orders and most of them amounted to nothing because the supreme court overruled them. Because he doesn't know what the law is.
if they are within legal procedure, we should vote to get it out! Unfortunately all the shit Trump has done in office? is still legal. A lot of it is unconstitutional and in 3 months the executive order will be rolled back by the judicial branch of the government. A repeat of Trump's 1st term.
there was some buzz about Chris Pratt saying RFK's a nice guy in passing. I said what's wrong with a sentence like "he was a nice guy at the family BBQ." So I get death threats, I'm called a sexual predator, and a nazi of course, and a number of other derogatory slurs. Is that irrational hate?
Hate groups are definitely more prevalent in the right. unfortunately they have to be tolerated due to the 1st amendment. Now we can protest against them that is our right and it should be exercised with gusto. Freedom is a very fickle thing. It's either we got it? or we don't have it.
So I'm done now. You don't want this to go anywhere. You've made it clear with the nitpicking nature of the argumentation, it has to satisfy the minutia of your undefined parameters and then a post is shifted so it can never be satisfied. This is a waste of time.
Semantics is holding you back from completing this conversation. Its the same argument when atheists and theists or apologists debate the conversation never goes anywhere because everyone's stuck on the language and refuses to interpret the intent.
hate for each other, now you are stuck on the degree of hate maybe as if there were a measurement available for discovering the how close to exactly equal their hate is for each other. Generally blues are more rational people. Not lately. Their stimulus response is akin absolute rancor.
This is the last time. when disagreements happen all the worst things you think about the left or the right are channeled into the person who disagreed with you. And then you make all these assumptions about them. as demonstrated above repeatedly. therefore they are both equal in their irrational...
Talking to an inanimate object is more productive.
Are you? I did explain it. If I disagree on any point don't matter what it is, your go to position is to call that person a nazi or a sympathizer of nazis and character assassination. The jump to conclusion made you irrational, now you hate me, because you convinced yourself that I am a nazi.
Also? the center? is still in the center.
When I disagree with anyone on the left, this is the only place you go. Now I support nazis because I disagreed with you. That behavior? is irrational. You are stuck here. I hate nazis, that was established, but you are still here talking about a point that has been concluded.
what does it take to have a dog be comfortable in clothing?
all nazis of all stripes should be afraid to be in public. Are we clear on that yet?
I have not said any fucking thing my entire existence on Bluesky or anywhere on social media that would suggest that I am a racist, a bigot, phobic of the newest groups in society, diversity is actually what makes a people strong. Echo chambers create 1 thing and 1 thing only and those are bad ideas
Quote me where I support nazis. fuck head. This bullshit where you assume what all my ideals are is the problem.
Trump is the hateful glue that binds them together. Their shouts will lose volume when they scatter.
I said they were equal in their irrational hate of each other I did not say they were equal in their actionable measures.
MAGA's movement will take a severe blow to their momentum and no one can replace Trump. Fuentes is on the fringe, they will lose their main stream appeal. They are semi tolerated as far as I can tell. most of MAGA are sheep waiting to be led. They don't think for themselves that's why they are MAGA.
Tell me what my ideals are for me some more.
That's great, Germany is also much better run the America is. and uses but a fraction of the energy America does. The scale up + the execution would probably be catastrophic if America tried to do the same thing.
we need a different symbol other than the hammer and sickle, that implies that the Trumplers actually know what work is.
MAGA will probably die when Trump dies, hopefully soon, his cult of personality has gone on long enough and no one in the political sphere has enough charisma and confident asshole character to replace him.
Joe Rogan went full retard a long time ago. He used to be pretty cool. But then I don't know what happened he let too many conspiracy theorists on his show during covid and drank too much koolaide.
show me where there is ethnic cleansing in America.
not from overseas My ballot never came in. for the last election. And I early registered.
Mail in voting has been in jeopardy long before Trump's 1st term, citizens who want to vote from overseas have to jump through diarrhea dripping flaming hoops just to get the chance to vote from afar.
you're doing it right now. Instead of finding out where I am, you've already started thinking about what can I call this guy to make him feel bad or get people to dog pile on this guy. He didn't agree with me HE HATES AMERICA he's a fascist!!!! He wants to kill America! Calm down.
Blue MAGA and Red MAGA are two extremes on the same coin of lunacy. They can't be reasoned with. Because they are consumed by their hatred for the other side, and anyone who doesn't think like them is catalogued as the enemy of their cause.
no it isn't it's a person that wants to take away your rights and try to assassinate your character if you don't echo their thoughts. The second you disagree with a far leftist or right, you're a nazi/commie, a pedo/traitor, an SA supporter/socialist, some kind of terrorist.
I'm in the center but I wouldn't ever consider myself right leaning at all. The right and the left both have their extremists. And extremism of any kind is generally not a good thing. Lot of people on this platform think the center = rightwing / closet MAGA. Which is simply untrue.
Public discourse shouldn't end in death threats or threats of bodily harm or wishes of harm or death. People with conflicting opinions need to be able to talk to each other.
People who color code their votes are also a problem since they don't really know who or what they are actually voting for. Nor is it easy to find out who all the candidates are and what points they stand on, which are also subject to change.
Gavin is a fencesitter hopping out on both side if it will get him political points. I'm all for bipartisan leadership since they seem to represent the most people's interests. I dunno, American politics is broken down to it's foundation.
an eyes wide shut turtle party.
gerrymandering is gerrymandering. it's always been bullshit.
I wish democratic leaders would do the right thing, redraw the line to as close to 50/50 then pass bills outlawing Gerrymandering. I'm so sick of the endemic issue of Americans being under represented both red and blue and bipartisan. Political tribalism only divides the nation further.
that slaps.
It's a shame that democratic leaders spend most of their time cleaning up republican messes that they lose power because the people get tired of them "not doing anything." Well they spend a majority of their time while they have a majority undoing the damage reps do to domestic and foreign policy.
Mockler is a such a great journalist. Podcasters I think are the new journalists out there. TV journalism are just teeth in some propaganda machine. Beholden to many private interests to tell the factual truth.
the center isn't a bad place to be.
Quote tweet me where I don't support vaccines, guess what you won't find it. But you're a piece of shit loser that would rather someone who has not too different ideals from you be a vegetable. I got my vax card its always up to date cause its my responsibility to the community that it is up to date
Gerrymandering should be outlawed. Democrats are too chickenshit to ban the practice when they are in power because they also benefit from it too. Oh but they'll complain when it's done to them. The lines should be redrawn to have as close to 50/50 constituents in each district.
Does anyone not see the MAGA similarities?
I can't know what Chris thinks. Or know what his wife thinks I just gave an opinion and now you think I should get polio and be confined to an iron lung cause you think I'm a nazi for thinking "he's a nice guy" isn't a politically charged statement.
I'm not. But you will hate anyone remotely misaligned to your political ideals. You want me to die. This is extremely unhealthy. But I am the problem? Why cause I said "look for more evidence?" You are basically Blue MAGA.
If you want to find out how psychotic the left is, try thinking for yourself a few times. You'll get the same experience from MAGA too. Free thought is the enemy of political extremism.
If you can find quotes or statements he's made that require no interpretation I will join your crusade of let's boycott him into the ground.
It's a huge stretch to assume from him saying that to, "I endorse everything RFK has said about public health and vaccines and chemtrails and whatever else RFK's brain worm tells him to think" Quote him where he believes that. Is not weird that notice that that leap in logic isn't logical at all?
If your wife was related to RFK, would you trash your wife's uncle on air and then open a can of worms at home that you wouldn't want to deal with? I wouldn't, it would invite unnecessary BS into my home if I just made some passing statement like "he's an okay guy at the family BBQ." instead.
I've seen people die and I have experienced people losing the will to live. It's lifechanging, a new perspective on mortality and the nobility of death on chosen terms.
I don't think I'd hurt others, that's not me. I will definitely take myself out when there isn't anything left to live for. There's a threshold in which most cross that sets them on that path, when there is nothing to live for or too painful to continue. I think there's maybe 20 years to go still
I think you meant eugenics and I didn't endorse RFK.
Actually under an extremely heavy stress load. The kind that makes you wonder if there is even a point to continue life as I know it. I overreacted. I think it still shouldn't be cancellable to say, hey he's a nice guy. But upon reflection maybe just avoid talking about anything litigious.
No I'm not actually, under a lot of stress which isn't your problem I apologize.
I care as long as this conversation lasts. Then it will be over and I'll probably forget as the next thing grabs my attention, until it's brought up again and the argument will continue until it ends and I'll forget about it again.
wrote on here, would you approach me or call the white coats? I think the latter would be the correct course of action.
I know enough social cues to not approach people on things that don't matter in public. But it's the internet. you can be as confrontational as you want to be with little to zero repercussions. You didn't have to talk to me, but you did. Were this a public space and I was screaming the things I
maybe he will.
Am I supposed to be caring what you think?
I'm stippling a drawing right now. that's taking most of my time today. I opened up bsky and my feed is inundated with people shitting on chris pratt for saying a nice thing about RFK? I should have joined in and dug shit out of my anal cavity to throw like the rest of the hominids on this feed.
his opinion means as little as mine does to you. Which is nothing.
So was I but it's not right, and it has never been alright.
I used to do more art, life has a way of taking you away from your passions.
look at my profile, and look at the date gaps between my posts and responses. That should be evidence enough.
