My other favorite conservative fantasy is all these people moving to right wing states to escape "socialism". It firstly ignores the blue states that are growing like gang busters (WA, OR and CO to name a few) but the most laughable bit is what part of the red states are growing. Take Texas, Austin is the fastest growing metro, one of the most liberal cities in America. No one is thinking to themselves "I need to escape this blue state socialism. I know, I am moving to Austin!!!" Fair is fair though, there are exceptions like FL which is just about the only place in America where rural and exurban growth isn't greatly outpaced by urban growth.

Just 2 of many articles.

You seem to think folks are saying all young people fit the category of not wanting to work versus very many.

That doesn't contradict anything I posted but there is definitely a population of people, mostly younger, that claim to be "socialist" without knowing what it means (like someone with a Che Guevera t shirt made by Hanes in a factory in Bangladesh). The left sucks as branding.

Except it does as there’s obviously many young people that don’t want to work and support socialism…and you assume they don’t know what socialism means.

And there’s obviously a lot of young folks that do. They’re extremely entitled and think they deserve what other folks have without working for it….and apples don’t fall far from the tree, as many chose to sit on the couch and collect free stuff with a huge amount of jobs available.

Lol it’s pretty funny isn’t it? They are so out of touch. Just a vocal minority that spreads misinformation and yells the loudest in a group of people.

But this current group of Conservatives aren’t really conservative at all. True conservatives believe in science and are ok with business protecting themselves and making their own decisions. True conservatives love the constitution and salute the US (not Trump) Flag.

This current group of conservatives sounds like they want to start a union to argue and fight employer vaccine mandates. They also kicked out one of the most conservative house members from the most conservative state in favor of an upstate NY rep just because she “liked” Trump more.

I’m not sure this conservative group is strong enough if called upon to defend this country. They are the group of the butt and feelings hurt folks. The epitome of a snowflake. They seem to cry and wilt when the deck is stacked against them.

It’s funny how you think Dems are the majority these days as they continue to fall out of approval.

As to science, we’ve said from the beginning that the vaccine is experimental and we’ve been proven right. Science has also told us that serious side affects have occurred from the vaccine. Science has also told us that contrary to what we were told, vaccinated folks can still get the virus.

Nah, we’re not calling for lockdowns, mandates, scared to leave the house, etc… That’s on the Dems, and the funniest part is that they wouldn’t endorse the vaccine to begin with and can’t get folks to take it. The “snowflakes” are those that live in fear and get angry when folks aren’t interested in thinking and doing as they do. They’re the “show me your papers” folks that need the government to think, support, and mandate others to do what they want, and when they don’t get their way they resort to name calling, stamping their feet, etc… It’s quite a sight to watch, lol.

Dems like fake worlds and safe spaces. They are our country’s demise. No stopping it, as they control mainstream media. It was a great run. 150+ years. We are in decline, but we are following Russia. Glad I have duel citizenship.

Hope the decline is slow.

In other words, he didn’t implement anything or do anything different.

I have no doubt the right is, but that because people like Tucker Carlson has basically Kremlin spokes people at this point. In reality, its Russia that is following us. Cooking up a false pretense to justify an invasion? Gee, can you think of a recent example of another country doing that? Sorry Putin, thats our move!
