So they lied about their opponents, the Democrats. They dangled dreams and false hopes to ordinary clueless people, and when they got into office, they did the bidding of the filthy rich.

The Republican 'establishment' never represented you, and you knew it. We all see the frustration over the establishment boiling over right here on this forum. Over and over again. No where to turn, you are lost!

So you follow charlatans and listen to soothsayers and carnival barkers. Then you chase any wil-o-the-wisp that might lead you out of your confusion, your dead end.

Now your party is a fading wreck, a sinking hulk. A cult of personality. When Trump dies, as he inevitably will, your party will shatter into dozens of little lost ineffectual factions.

In the mean time the Democratic party will go on doing the people's work.

Any demographic who thinks they are going to be saved by democratic handouts is insane.

You can't legislate people up the social ladder.

Biden doesn't want us to say China Virus. Anytime we want to say Virus, let's add China in front of it.

Anytime we want to say Biden, let's call him Dementia Joe or maybe even Idiot.

Anytime we want to talk about Kamallaa, let's spell her name wrong. She hates that.

Any words we can cancel?

Let's find ways to fight back on the crazy.
If you cannot figure out that endorsements of criminals, bigots and hypocritical politicians is your problem then you’re not going to be successful anytime soon.

I mean, you can, but not sure what that has to do with what I said. All of my posts are directed only at conservatives.

My goal is to convince conservatives that over the long-term there is no fighting back. That our system is pushing us in a particular direction. And unless they change our system, unless they change its institutions, they cannot change the path we are on.

Conservatives are waging a war to defend capitalism. What conservatives fail to see is that capitalism is not conservative. Communist countries are and were far more conservative than capitalist countries. Moreover, conservatives are against what they call "globalism", but again they are too stupid to see that capitalism is globalism. It is capitalist countries who bring in millions of immigrants.

Conservatives are also defenders of democracy, but why would a conservative even want democracy? And how does democracy really work?


Every American institution is antithetical to conservatism, but conservatives are too stupid to see it. They think if they can just get Donald Trump reelected everything is going to be fine.

The Democrats used to be for the American worker and they used to oppose illegal immigration, not so today! All they want is amnesty for votes. They don't want a wall, they advocate for sanctuary cities, don't want illegals deported, allowing thousands of bogus asylum seekers into our country and won't pass an e-verify bill even though the GOP has presented one several times. Now just who are the culprits here?

If you don't think that the Democrats are in the pockets of the rich to then you aren't dealing in reality. Why do they want illegals to remain here to make the rich, richer then? The GOP represents me far more than the Democrats do based on all of the above!

It will be the Democrat party that will be a fading wreck with this administration but do dream on. The Democrats are doing the people's work based on the above? Are you kidding me? Oh stop with the childish cult reference. Trump supporters were no more of a cult than the Obama ones were. This isn't about Trump personally anyway it's about the good policies that he had. If another GOP candidate came along advocating for the same policies I would support them to!

That is why you are armed.


When you open carry a sidearm, no one questions why you are not wearing a mask.
Well, you just explained why you want to open carry; to try to scare people away from asking why you aren't wearing a mask. At least you don't claim it's so you can protect people from some random robber in a grocery store. Instead you've just admitted that open carry is there just to try to intimidate people from asking things that make you uncomfortable. The vast majority of us laugh at the open carry people because we know that they're scared and need something to try to intimidate others. You just verified that theory.

And now they call the cops because you are now trespassing for wearing a mask in a store that requires them (and you refuse to leave), and now you're also threatening violence. People who open carry with the goal of threatening people over something trivial aren't responsible enough to own guns. We both know this.

Oh you bunch of hypocrites. The Christian right has been trying to cancel anything they don't "agree" with since I first drew breath, and long before.

The Christian Coalition, the Moral Majority - evangelicals, baptists, Pentecostals - you've tried to cancel John Lennon, DH Lawrence, Grand Theft Auto, Marilyn Manson, Kiss, Jerry Lee Lewis, the words "Hell" and "damn". Homosexuals, drag queen story time. Witches in Salem (or anywhere for that matter). Can't abide a pink hat. Can't buy a bottle of liquor on Sunday.

Just a taste of the CANCEL CULTURE wrought by the right in the USA, most notably in the second half of the 20th century.

I don't agree when either side does it, but do not suddenly pretend you are not just as "crazy" - it's a long way down off that high horse of yours.
