Where did I say this?

I said I don't care if people think I'm white trash (for presumably voting for Trump). That is not what you stated and ignores the point (that my reasons to not vote for Trump have nothing to do with my friends' reasons for not voting for Trump. My reasons are his Leftist economics).

Correcting lies is not "arguing with people on their thoughts about me"

A lot of educated professionals shudder at the idea of an amoral a-hole like Trump having another term while the Heritage Foundation and Cato Institute are dictating domestic policy.

Which is why your "argument" is non-existent.

You're creating your own set of events that didn't happen. At least their version is somewhat on topic.

i admire your pluck in trying to argue with me,, its cute


basing you accusations on Presidential candidates exposes your limited knowledge on any of this

I have never been one that held candidates out as an ideal of an ideology I was always more ideological than personality . and I still recognize and admire and appreciate Ronald Reagan But I understood Coservation thought foundations before he ran.. Burke.. TS Lewis..Conservatism isn't limited to running for office

Or even an Eisenhower who warned about the military complex but conservative political thought is not just in who runs for president in fact it cannot be
because true conservative political thought is going to be small and local .

And had you read this thread you would've seen that the only politician I've mentioned is Rand Paul


but Sowell I'm a fan..Buckley,ORouke sometimes
Bill Kristol fought back against National Health care

I don't believe in people I back ideas

I believe in less government. That applies to social issues as well.

Yep. Plenty of doctors, lawyers, engineers, finance guys in LA, TX, MS, AL, FL, TN who don’t think voting for Trump means you’re white trash.
If it is white trashy to want to put America, mom and apple pie first and get the HAMA's terrorists off our soil. That is not trashy v. non trashy.

It is cognitively impaired globalization v. America.

We love our poorly edumacated though.

So there! they are just jealous Trump is A STABLE GENIUS AUTIST, AND BIDEN IS A BARELY FUNCTIONING PLAGIARIST, COGNITIVELY IMPAIRED RETARD.

Correct. Being an educated professional does prevent one from being stupid. This board is living proof of that.

Yet, in socialism, that is exactly what you are.


Why even bring up socialism? Because the existence and utilization of food stamps means we live in a socialist economic system?

Think of capitalism as free crabs in the ocean.


Do you think we’d have a free ocean if food stamps and social security went away?

I bring this up every time these discussions happen: Hayek argued that society has an obligation to protect its vulnerable members and the environment in The Road to Serfdom.

Religious extremists with the power of government behind them are scary, too.

In my life, many more scary interactions with Evangelicals than Leftists, but that's due to sampling bias growing up in the South. There are simply a lot more of the scary extremist Evangelicals than Leftists, here.

Because Biden isn’t an amoral a-hole himself. They might be educated, but they aren’t intellectually honest.

That's only recently, and largely due to Trump.

Trump tried to change the tent of the GOP and that pushed lots of those he attacked to the DEMs.

Post-2016, the GOP is less educated/affluent but more working class/union.

The DEMs are losing the working class/union types but gaining the educated/affluent.

Are we discussing reality or something else? We’re obviously having two different discussions.
