I have not read the thread. What in the frick is admiring someones pluck?

Your one post seemed neverTrumper establishment loving.

I have admitted I was a dumbasshole.... Falling for the Bush, McCain, Romney schtick with LIVE war shown on MSNBC as so righteously cool way back when.

What has become of those wars? The horrid Afghanistan withdrawal killing more unnecessarily.

I wish I could go back in time and vote for Ron Paul. Stop white knighting SFP he is trolling for the fun of the outrage.

So you do have intelligence and aren't another slap happy neocon tard... Why don't you run for President? Seriously. You would need a young black female running mate.

He’s your typical ignorant, arrogant, academic paper pusher. His behavior reflects the common traits you see among those who claim to be liberal and conservative at the same time. It’s delusion and easy to see through.

And there it is again, my Buckeye friend.


There is a reason why you still can not answer the question.

Your view is that a tariff is a leftist idea and not conservative. Based on that the USA has always been a leftist nation.

Are we discussing reality or something else?


You were asked:

How in everloving hell do liberal policies aid you in your ability to support yourself?


You replied:

quote:

I don’t look at myself as if I’m a crab in a bucket. I don’t need to step on others to elevate myself. I also think about my entire experience as a human in the world, not just my individual bank account when determining my priorities.


The frick does this have to do with government handouts and redistribution?

I replied with to the above quoted words, and then clarified (in response to your attempt at clarification) with:

quote:

There is nothing about (actually) conservative economics that require people to be hurt.


Then you reply to my comment on conservative economics with examples of people being upset with Leftist economics (redistribution programs).

There’s “a rising tide lifts all boats” type ideology that purports happiness and stability as a side-effect


Then there’s “welfare and food stamps are meant to bribe the underclass because the alternative is crime” that purports happiness and stability as the direct outcome.

One has been proven to not work, the other has been proven to be unsustainable without balance.

Maybe it just sucks to be a human on planet earth

Imagine thinking a Manhattan real estate tycoon born with a silver spoon in his mouth, who went to Wharton, and used to hobnob with the Hollywood elite is a man of the people.

This whole post-Trump reality has just shown how easily malleable people are. It's real insane to experience and scary at the same time.

I explained the connection and you’re choosing to claim you don’t understand. I’m not playing cutesy little ignorance games. Looks like you’re just being a dick because so many are being hostile to you in this thread.

What's always amusing about people like you is how much you'll whine that I don't agree with you on everything. You had no problem admitting that what Trump did with DOJ in 2018 was bullshite, but you don't complain about those who defend it. Why?

Well, it's because you're a brainwashed Trump Loyalist who puts that tribalism above everything else. You try to pretend you don't do that, and you even put on a show to make it appear that way.

I suspect that your biggest problem with me is that I see right through your Reasonable Bro act. You're LoomerPot, with a weird obsession for pretending to call people out.

It is.


Then you believe we have always been a leftist economy. That would translate into the founding fathers being leftists.

There is no other way to view that.

No no no Slow. You can not have it both ways. Why don't you explain to us how a tariff is leftist today but not during the 1700s, the 1800s, and the 1900s.

No, I'm clearly talking about your views.

This post is the perfect example of you avoiding and can not really answer to your beliefs.

You did not. That's the problem.

I even went through the post history and quoted posts to show that you shifted, randomly, in the middle of the conversation.

Again, my comment:

Please don't change the subject and start a discussion about leftist economics in response to one about conservative economics.

It boils down to whether someone believes we live in a hostile or friendly world. We all curate our own realities with what we choose to give our attention to.

I live in rural Norway where people haven’t voted blue since the Hornsrud administration. Just the other day I was walking down the street to the local sauna with my fellow Norwegians. Biden signs everywhere. If Trump loses Scandinavia he’s got no chance.

I love the “Trump isn’t really a conservative so I am going to vote for Kennedy” argument. In the history of political justification arguments, that may be the dumbest one other than the “Trump is a danger to democracy”
