@bradstevens I'm pretty sure I'm right. I'm not talking about Kensyian bullsh%t GDP nonsense. The actual makers. The plumbers, electricians, rocket makers, and etc. Not the HR person getting paid 300k to decide if Johnny banging Mary Beth in the Casey's restroom is inappropriate. For the record it's not.
Maybe, but I think they feed off of each other.https://twitter.com/jrobfrommn/status/2068344872474415594?s=46&t=Csl_r88muvNMBV79b5VS-Q
This is true & faaar more dangerous to America thanTrump
The lunatics on either side are always responding to something they don't like. When the right became more nativist, it was because they saw shifting demographics, made some connections with crime trends, and drew the obvious conclusions. When the left became more socialist, it was because they saw the destruction of the working class American dream, and the widening of the wealth gap to epic proportions, and drew their obvious conclusions.
When those on one side want to scream that the other side has been brainwashed by the media, but also wants to pretend their side is just rationally responding to real-time problems, that's a sign that they've lost objectivity. The Jacobins didn't take power because of a rational debate of the facts and possible policy solutions. They took power because people were so angry, they collectively snapped. You could say the same thing about the Nazis, the Stalinists, etc.
This is not a one side only problem. But it's also not a both sides problem. It's a broken society problem. Our society is fucked up, and it's fucked up in a lot of different ways, and different groups of people are going to respond to that big fuckupery in different ways. But unfortunately, very few of them seem to be responding with, "Let's see how we can work together to fix it." Instead, most seem to be responding with "Off with their heads!"
Edit to add: All of this becomes a moot point when the machines take over, anyway, of course.
It's not a right problem nor has it ever been. The right is the makers and doers. The left is the takers and the breakers. To be fair to you lefties the money is the underlying issue and it's why a lot of people move further left to socialism. However, it's misdiagnose of the problem. The problem isn't "too much capitalism".
Thank you for proving my point for me.
Not at all. One of us is right. And I think it's me because you're the one wanting to take peoples stuff through force. Whenever you are on that side of the equation, you've lost the plot.
Tradesmen in union states lean Dem, I think. They hate the social crap, but love the Dems catering to them.@bradstevens I'm pretty sure I'm right.

That is what is so baffling…the progressives defending and voting for the Muslim candidates in this country.

I think that's shifted and it started being noticeable for me when you had Biden arguing with a dude in a hardhat, telling him he was wrong and then became obvious when the Harris campaign started putting out campaign ads with a bunch of low T twinks posing as the average working man trying to make the argument that it was OK to vote for her by using guilt as the main persuasive point.

Yeah, but does he eat cats and dogs? That's where I draw the line.
@oneeyedundertaker have to. no normal american with normal american values would want anything to do with the dem party today.
This is why Republicans lose. Democrats are absolutely horrible disgusting people with zero morals but they play to win every time. Rules and principles are irrelevant and Republicans refuse to play that game. This country is f*****.

@dbmhoosier correct. Dems are pure garbage. Support criminals over public safety. Welfare over self support. On and on and on. Just pure garbage. Freak weirdos. I’m so done with Dem freaks. When you can’t celebrate kids because thug Iwasntdounnuffins are shooting around the stadium wearing scram bracelets we’ve lost the plot. Dems don’t do the very basic stuff to maintain a society. Mamdani AOC and the rest are just pure scum of the earth
Oh I think Republicans know and play the game as well. Stop with “other side bad, we good” nonsense.This is why Republicans lose. Democrats are absolutely horrible disgusting people with zero morals but they play to win every time. Rules and principles are irrelevant and Republicans refuse to play that game. This country is f*****.
