I love how the last bit is like “if we stop talking about him wanting to throw out the constitution, wanting to invade Canada, and all the tariffs, then he’s done a great job!” and like even then no, he hasn’t, but imagine being such a failure that you think that any of those aren’t huge deal breakers.
In what fucking world is the far-right doing anything in good faith? They say they are, and they are always lying. They move the goalposts so much that the field is a perforated mess and you’re still falling for it.
There is no common ground in all the world that would ever set foot on which contains “you can oppress trans people based on no evidence a little”. There is no middle ground for “I get that we’re both worried about the economy but since you are fully economically illiterate and have zero empathy for working class people I suppose we can do a half-measure that will ultimately not work very well just to make you feel better.”
No, that time was decades ago. I do not compromise with fascists, and if you truly believe that the middle ground hasn’t been abandoned then maybe you need to wake up and realize that the vast majority is either already on it or to the right of it. The Democrats are not leftists, they are centrists at best save for a small handful of them. Infinitely better than the GOP, this is not a both sides issue, but holy fuck the scales are not balanced.
They’re alienating themselves. Nothing you do will appease them short of weakening your position enough for them to attack it. The right has turned feral.
You don’t need to go out of your way to be cruel, but they can absolutely go fuck themselves and being called out on their bullshit is fine by me.
But sure, waste your effort being nice to them. It must feel so good being “above” having to address anything.
If you’re feeling targetted by this meme and need to be “won” over to the side of supporting basic labour rights then buddy I don’t give a shit about your cheap “support” or the constantly moving goalposts that help you avoid any kind of real action.
Anyway: “Boo hoo my feewings were hurt by a meme based 100% in decades of pwecedence waaaaah.”
“And then they did, even though Musk is not a comicbook super villain and could probably be defeated in combat by a particularly aggressive child.”
Compete for jobs they screamed were “unskilled” and didn’t deserve a living wage. Boy I’m so excited to tell throw that argument back at them.
I mean, we live in more years than the current one so that argument kinda falls on its face pretty quick. And like you said, they’ll probably just cancel a lot of these projects and have lovely limbo money to fuck around with because it’s not like they respect terms and agreements.
The real argument is that these programs and infrastructure developments help people and strengthen the economy. They help the working class by sharing everyone’s resources and make sure that less of the burden of doing everything is on the individual. For some reason there are billions of people in the world who have zero understanding of the concept that when the government “saves” money by cancelling projects and slashing oversight budgets they lose out. Their taxes go down but their monthly expenditures to go way up and they’re ok with that because they get the illusion of choice.
Do you have to ask? Why do you have zero desire to share anything with your friends? Dry isn’t the word I’d use, but “bothered” sure is. You text like you want them to piss off and you want them to know it without saying it.
Tariffs can help with preparation, and they are a tool like many other policies. These ones, though, are not thoughtfully planned out. These protect no one, not even the mega-corps who need to figure out how to make everything domestically or price themselves out of the market.
And just like the first commentor, 95% of my roadrage is “how have none of you figured out that tailgating is literally why this traffic exists I figured it out on my first trip on the highway!!”
God, I love the metro. My blood pressure and general mental state has improved so much.
Yea I love that. They genuinely thought it was cheating that the government was working together to get equal representation. They would rather get a 51% majority and ignore 49% of the country and if that doesn’t show how absolutely worthless they are as people I don’t know what would.
No, but it still needs to be said.
What? He did get re-elected, that’s the point of the post, and the comment was because he made an incredibly bold and easily falsifiable claim so we’re saying “go on then, make the peace deal you promises already”.
They’re different, even if they’re very similar. The important part is that they look different, too, because if you talked about all the white immigrants taking the white-collar jobs people would have to actually think beyond just a face-value assessment. Brown is bad is a lot easier than person over there could be anything so I need to talk to them and form even a basic relationship with them to figure out what’s going on and by then I might not be able to hate them so absolutely.
They know this, but all his failures will need huge spotlights on them. He wasn’t vague about it and now it’s time to do this magic he claimed he could do.
Bro we’re gunna elect the nastiest little sycophant dweeb if people don’t get out and stop it. The neevousness you feel is anyone here left with two braincells to knock together wondering just how bad it’s gunna be now that the bar is in Hell’s basement.
(Also if Canadians don’t vote in our election I hope they fucking die and I’m done acting like I’m joking. I won’t do it, but I still have hope)
Yea I should have worded that a lot better.
You’d need an awful lot of people to bump that 19% up to “40-50%” and I’m fairly sure that if I went to Germany right now, and we’re on perception alone so it’s gunna be pretty racist, I wouldn’t see one person of colour for every white person.
I live in an international city and it’s still mostly white people here despite seeing many definite immigrants all the time. They just stand out against what I was conditioned to believe is “normal” but that’s it.
I think they’re saying that children who are born in the new country should be counted as foreigners. Which is kinda fucked up but yea I don’t think they’re saying that children moving to a new country aren’t counted.
No Nut November was months ago it’s ok.
