      Serious question:
      If there is a next election, and it is fair, and the paedo oompaloopa loses, and the obese thing leaves without causing another insurrection then do you think all this just end?

        The Democrats will tell everyone to “move on” and “heal” without holding any traitors accountable. So in the following midterm and presidential elections yet another GOP Nazi can take control.

      • Democracy doesn’t last forever
        It’a a flower that will wither

        It requires eternal vigilance

        Democracy is not a state of existence, it’s a flame we have to constantly watch over and keep alive, and teach our decendents the knowledge and skills, and guide their spirit, to be able to carry on this flame.

        I, as one person, a non-white person, can’t do much to influence politics, I can only hope that the rebellious nature of the American spirit continues… otherwise this is just PRC all over again with all the corruption.

          Sadly the rebellious nature of the American spirit also includes the Confederacy and its legacy which still looms large over the country like a blighted shadow. The mess we’re in is still very much a part of that. That side of the culture here needs to be trimmed off like a surgeon removing the gangrenous flesh before it spreads and kills the whole being. How we’re going to do that when we have 24 hour regressive propaganda and psyops preying on the weak-minded among us is a challenge though.

    You can’t reason yourself out of a position you didn’t reason yourself into. Magats are not asking themselves anything because it’s not about truth but emotional vindication.

      Let’s see…

      • Rent is up because landlords are all illegal immigrants.
      • Insurance is doubling because the radical left democrats are allowing the billions of trans people to have underage sex changes back and forth 19 times.
      • Groceries are expensive because all the foreign workers in agriculture are lazy and refuse to work.

      All things I am sure we will hear from those mouth breathers…

      • Rent is up because landlords are all illegal immigrants.

        Lol, in florida, they already passed racist Anti-Chinese laws to make home ownership harder for anyone that “looks Chinese”, since they now require anyone who’s ethnic Chinese to either have citizenship or a Green Card in order to buy property, in order to “stop CCP influence” or some bullshit, but guess what happens what when a white real-estate agent see someone like me? They’d just ghost me and refuse to sell to me to avoid having to deal with paperworks.

        Literally, some nazi from a european country can still buy up property and become a landlord, but if you are ethnic Chinese, then real estate agents are gonna gonna use this law as an excuse to stop you from buying your first home, even if you are a citizen.

        Fuck florida lol, can’t pay me to live there.

    No MAGAs are reading this, nor would they even absorb anything it’s saying, nor would they acknowledge any facts that go against their cult leader.

      Curated video news isn’t exclusive to MAGA, but it’s their primary source. Also, it’s hot garbage, regardless of alignment. Anyone who let’s another party choose what they consume and when they consume it might as well just be told what to believe. This is the motivation behind assembling social media into feeds based on algorithms. Can’t have the consumer using their own initiative.

      they dont have the ability to do introspection, even thinking about an altnerative reason why is very uncomfortable to them.

      Sadly they fall for the lies that the democrats are somehow magically disrupting everything good Trump is doing. Basically living in their own fictional world

    Unemployment is actually UP thanks to the lack of immigrants.

    Our economy shrinks and stalls when we engage in mass deportations.

    MAGA isn’t going to admit anything. They don’t even think of themselves as MAGA. The left is so far out of everyday media for most voters it may as well not exist.

    But Israel has universal healthcare, free college, monthly payments per child for parents, unlimited money for genocide and extra money to buy your congressional representatives to make sure we continue to fund their socialist lifestyle while you and your family suffer and die and that’s all that matters.

    Stuff like this makes me feel like y’all don’t understand how little most people are suffering. Things aren’t going to truly change until Americans are starving, and our masters won’t let it get that far.

    And if you don’t believe that, look how far they’ve pushed us this century, and not only got away with it, got Trump in twice. If you teleported a conservative in from the 80s or 90s, they would fucking scream at the state of the country. Conservatives from earlier decades would look at the Democrats and call them right-wing nut jobs.

    For context: Little me saw Reagan on TV saying if we didn’t reign in government spending we could someday hit $1T in national debt. Think on that.

    Last time we effected major change was after 1929. It took 30%+ unemployment, white people dying in the streets, white people starving, white people in Hooverville shanty towns, before we stood up and said fuck all this. We taxed the robber barons, formed unions, denied monopolies and mega-mergers, all that and more. “Republican” was not a great place to be for 60 years.

    Why bring up white people? Because seeing our privilege fall out from under us it what it’s going to take. There is all the political power in the world for minorities here, enough to swing plenty enough elections to turn us. I honestly don’t know why they don’t. Guess that’s a truly complex topic.

      Many conservatives in congress today are conservatives from previous decades. It’s not all that uncommon for them to serve 40-50 years. Those people are cheering on MAGA right now, or at least not doing anything to stop them, which is functionally the same thing.

    Anecdotal but yeah I did hear of an apartment that was lowering rent because they had trouble filling rooms after the immigration crackdown. Of course they were awfully sad about having to lower rent.

    Then “We support our president and will engage in whatever hypocritical public mental gymnastics needed to make that so.”

    they wont get that far into introspection, because FOX, newsmax, OAN and grifters will tell them not to believe with thier eyes and ears, but with thier emotions.
