The "GOP and Democrats are the same" meme is one of the dumbest thing ever repeated on this board. It's something that only people who shelter themselves and don't ever actually engage with any Leftists would believe.


You clearly don’t understand what that phrase means.

Like the overlap is because of policy that both parties constituents overwhelming support. Link to that assumption?

Which policy do you want to discuss? I"ll try to find polling data.

I disagree. That’s tells us everything.

What, specifically does it tell us about the difference in DEMs and GOP?

Oh, so it's a mind control conspiracy.

No. It's marketing.

quote:

It's not them pointing out things that others see and that many have reported on for years. It's just mind control.

They are selling to a small, rabid group who will give them money and keep them relevant within that niche.

They're just being politicians finding a niche.

quote:

Nothing really captures the idea that someone is talking down to you, or talking at you, rather than to you, like when they tell you that others have created an experiment in your brain.

Sometimes people who fall for political theater need to be reminded that it's just theater and is bullshite.

If that makes you feel bad, then that's your own self analysis/reaction

quote:

That has been going on, and it is not exacerbated by pointing out the equivalence between Dems and Reps with regard to their behavior at the federal level and the trajectory they set for the country.

By making mainstream Republican policies get associated with the extreme poles, you're creating the avenue for Leftism to seize the gap. That's exactly why the 2022 Midterms were so terrible for the Republicans. Moderates went with DEMs in non-extreme areas. This after the year prior when moderate GOP pols gained lots of ground/support in many of those purple areas.

quote:

The two parties take the nation in the same direction. That trajectory is indisputable

Because that's the direction of the population who votes for the pols.

As I've said, moderates are still the biggest single population and that group has DEMs and GOP. That population is moving as developed nations move.

quote:

It's not surprising, of course, that you cast such a net over others. Much like Sam Harris, your hubris and mental instability make you think you're just that much smarter and an overall better person than the rest of us. We're just heathens, a bunch of rubes without enough sense for calculus and lawyerin' and other dubious things, right? We're just gettin' that mind control from Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert.

Again, you cite an idiot who doesn't even understand the policies she promotes and a charlatan who is accepting that his scandals have destroyed his national rep (fairly or not) and he's adjusting to a new role in the play, as your examples of legitimate political philosophy.

The lack of comprehension of the big picture just displayed is hilarious.

Conservative extremists


What qualifies someone as an extremist?

quote:

but the party as a whole will.


Nope

quote:

White women in the suburbs have determined every major election in the 21st century, and they showed last year they are getting fed up with the MAGA circus. They voted for Trump in 2016 because they hated Hillary and they liked the idea of an outsider, but they obviously got that out of their system. If they still supported this platform it would have been a red wave and the whole saga going on right now never happens.


Because the voting was totally legitimate and no cheating occurred. Got it.

quote:

Now the question is: once right wing men are no longer are represented in federal government what will be the reaction?


Idk, but I am confident this country will be a shithole like all other countries who aren’t fortunate to have the demographics of our leaders.

quote:

I think especially these young men that have made themselves unmarriable by millennial and Gen Z women because of their expression of MAGA politics on social media will lash out violently about never getting that white picket life the mainstream media promised them


Most women prefer masculine men, so you are dead wrong here.

quote:

The next 10 years will see an increase in mass shootings


We already have mass shootings that are always contributed to something the conservatives have done. Even in places where there has literally not been any conservative leadership for 50+ years, the problems that are plaguing them are always blamed on conservatives.

quote:

And that is what will rebuild the GOP. Once it gets violent the suburban women will turn to moderate mainstream Republicans for safety (like they turned to Bush in 2004) and the cycle will begin again.


The establishment gop needs to die off, and all those who know it’s perpetual ineptitude and willingness to accept it.

What is emotional about pointing out a bad argument or a poorly used meme pretending to be an argument?


Your emotions , or your wife's channeling through you, have you believe this is a bad argument or a meme.

At what point does SlowFlowPro quit posting knowing that no one reads his posts, just downvotes them?
