How do people feel now?
One of the weirdest things I've witnessed over the last 25 years is victimhood evolving from something people hoped to avoid/overcome into something increasingly sought out, celebrated, and even treated as a source of status and moral authority.
That's how people "feel" now - like they're perpetual economic victims, while paying $800 twice per year to listen to some dipshit sing about the economic plight of the everyday man.

Sure they are, and Democrats make it easy for him by advancing the even more retarded shite they do.
We’re in an unending spiral of stupid and the American male has gotten too soft to do anything about it.

We need to run a moderate the next go around to even have a chance to lure back anyone
When you sift through all the crazy shite, Trump is so “moderate” that he presides left of Bill Clinton.
What would be great for the country is to run/elect an actual conservative. Problem is outside of DeSantis, whose shoewear is evidently a dealbreaker for a lot of MAGA, I can’t think of anyone with a national profile that fits that bill.
quote:
the republican party is weak precisely because they’ve given up policy and governance to the whims of a degenerate criminal sociopath.
The Republican party has been weak since long before Trump ever sniffed the WH. In fact, the reason Trump ever sniffed the WH is because rank/file Republicans became achingly soft.
I don’t agree Trump is a degenerate criminal and think it hurts the cause by suggesting he is - makes it too easy to be a sycophant.
Trump is unprincipled. He’d be as comfortable running/presiding as a Dem if it had been a Republican president that publicly made fun of him as he is now as a Republican.
quote:
I’ll take my chances elsewhere you and I want the exact same thing by the way
I don’t understand the strategy of gaining strength through surrender. Turn shite over to Dems and all you’re doing is advancing Leftist causes and complicating fixing the Republican Party.
The time to fix Republicans is in the primaries. In the general, it should be about doing everything possible to keep democrats out of Congress and the WH.
quote:
Everything you fear a democrat would do to this country’s institutions is happening right now
No it’s not, don’t be so dramatic.
And to the degree it is, that’s happening with weak Republicans in charge. Imagine how it would be going with crazy Dems in charge, with only weak Republicans to obstruct them.
quote:
gimme the retard over this
No way. Trump has disappointed in so many ways I’ve lost track, but I’d still crawl across broken glass to vote for him over any Democrat sufficiently loony tunes enough to win they/them/their party’s nomination.
quote:
Cutting enough spending to balance the budget immediately (while still servicing debt) would mean a cut of around 35% to all federal spending and would result in at least a recession (possibly depression).
Fedgov is such an abysmal spender that what you're arguing here may not be as dramatic in practice. Not talking about 35% cut on Day 1, but a very aggressive program to cut spending over some X years may not have the huge negative impact some fear.

You can hate Thune and the GOPe with a passion (I do), but you should understand there's a humongous difference between those assholes and today's version of Democrats.

You're seriously uncertain about which one to vote for? I hope you're just shite posting.

So you’d consider BTC to be a defensive asset not a speculative risk asset? Because it behaves more like the latter than the former. And to the guy above me, we all understand what a “store of value” asset is
Or at least what it should be…a non degradable asset that society has agreed has value that resists volatility and can be used as a defense against macroeconomic shocks. A safe haven as it were. Again, BTC does not behave like that
carry on
What does any of this have to do with the post I responded to or my response? Curious.

Name that asset. I can't think of a single one.

To me this is the disconnect. You’d have to trade your bitcoin for the very same fiat currency that bitcoin is supposed to replace, and the very same fiat currency that we are being told over and over again is going to collapse. And yet, you can’t buy anything with your bitcoin until you convert it.
It doesn’t make any sense from the outside looking in
In this sense, consider it the same way you do gold. Many buy gold as a store of value. They buy gold with US dollars because they believe that somewhere down the road, when they need the value stored in the gold to live on/buy something, they'll sell the gold for US dollars and will, at that point in time, hold many more dollars/more purchasing power than if they had never exchanged USD for gold in the first place.
Whether you believe BTC is a credible store of value or not, the concept isn't hard to understand.
