White Liberal Males

Their fathers failed them.

Buncha friggin pathetic losers. As if they were responsible in any way.

Some of Robinette's new cabinet members?

Not going to lose status or position or income because of not being so dependent simply on being "White" and "Male."

Democrats keep saying this, but I can't point to a single thing that I have simply because I am a white male. I must be doing something wrong. Maybe I need to hang out with more democrats since they are so focused on race.

[quote]I can kind of understand minorities or women because they’ve been brainwashed constantly by the party and probably actually believe they are the only ones that will protect (lol), but there is nothing a liberal hates more than a white male so how do you justify your affiliation? Is it self loathing? What is it? It’s hard to understand. Is there a way to make this make sense without using a “well, the other side...” argument?[

How do over 80% of Republicans identify as Christians? Hard to explain that with logic and reasoning.

To clarify, most beliefs that Christians hold are indefensible if you are applying any type of logic. Not saying there aren’t good lessons to learn from Christianity or that Christians cant be intelligent.

frick us for caring about the environment, wanting everyone to have access to affordable healthcare, "wanting the rich to be less rich and the poor to be more comfortable", not wanting someone to be forced to have give birth if they get pregnant, etc.

It's always about racism with your weak-minded ilk. Pathetic.

There will be no deep thinking and open hearts here..

The last thing you liberals and your groupthink are? Deep thinkers.

My brother is one.
He is an alcoholic.
Had alcohol and weed related arrests. Total disaster socially. Holds down a decent job.

I think it's because being a liberal is "edgy". Honestly, it's bizarre. To him being a Republican is "mean" and "uncool".

BTW, he's pushing 40.

My brother in law and sister are the same way.

I think being a liberal has a whole lot to do with ego and not nearly as much to do with actual policy. Much more so than being conservative.

People who self identify as being liberal think it makes them sophisticated and compassionate and open minded.


Oh, and they are both > 50.

You're right about the Dems mostly abandoning the working class... you're just excusing who is responsible for it.

A Bill Clinton speech did sound, economically, like a Trump speech. And Bill Clinton is the one that sold out to the US Chamber of Commerce and turned the Democratic Party into "Republicans, economically, who are SJWs." Younger and/or more progressive Dems - the ones you guys hate the most: Sanders, Sherrod Brown, Warren, AOC - are trying to reverse that... I support them in that, most veteran Dems are hooked on the campaign donations. It is the biggest inner-party fight... and the economic progressives will win, because of time and age. But people will call them Socialists.

Also, Clinton knew if Trump ran on that message he'd annihilate the GOP primary field, and that's why he talked him into finally actually running instead of just talking about it. Of course, he also thought Hillary would beat him in the general, and that didn't happen.

What did Trump actually do besides - like Clinton - give speeches about working people? The tariffs didn't work in America's favor because he didn't understand who pays them (still doesn't, apparently) or why they're usually used, which is to make domestic products cheaper... but we don't have domestic products for most of the stuff he put tariffs on so he just put a bunch of American manufacturers out of business when he made their raw materials unaffordable and caused retaliations in foreign markets that killed export sales for a lot of American companies.

Trump's tax breaks benefitted the Wealthy and Corporations, who aren't increasing their hiring. The stock market keeps soaring because it is mostly a make-believe world in that sector... companies buy back their own stock and make themselves worth millions more, using money from the Fed at low or no interest rates. He strong-armed the Fed into keeping interest rates as low as possible, which is slow suicide for when a recession really kicks in and you can't lower them any further... I've refinanced just what's left of the mortgage on my house so often in the past few years I've lost count because the rates keep diving so much it's worth it... from "wow, that's low" to "you're kidding me!"

Meanwhile, people were losing living wages jobs the entire time in the middle. The bottom was more screwed than ever... and that was before the COVID monkeywrench. He screwed American farmers with his trade war... and I mean just destroyed them, put the multi-generational family farm and dairy right out of business and on the auction block. And he tried to hide that with aide payments, but it wasn't enough to save the family businesses, just extra money for the corporate-run farms or the tax write-offs (like Devon Nunes's non-working, no equipment farm that makes no money).

That's o.k. The entire paradigm of atheism is self-refuting if you apply any type of logic, but that group seems to be growing all the time.

I’ll rephrase for you....applying common sense.
