I've came to read the logical comments that I'm able to see and have forgot to log in a couple of times, thus seeing a couple posts from the dotard clan. This entire thing being spewed about freedoms being taken away is a bunch of pure stupidity. No ones freedoms are being taken away. You Trumpbillies are STILL free to do anything and everything you wish to do. Freedom doesn't mean zero consequence. Period. Fact. For example, you're free to murder anyone you wish. That doesn't mean you are free from consequence for acting on that freedom. Try to keep up, yeah?
Like I've said before, arguing that wearing masks takes your freedom away is like arguing that wearing seat belts takes your freedom away. And I don't see anybody arguing against wearing a seat belt.

I think this is a good representation of general sentiment among many that will be voting for Trump this year. I would argue many democrats even.

I know there are a few that would disagree, but out of curiosity those that can even bring them selves to watch do you really think he is off on his interpretations of the democrat party now? From my anecdotal viewpoint, he hits the nail on the head with most people I know.

I did not vote for Trump in 2016, and never imagined I would one day be enthusiastically voting for the guy.

The numbers are pretty clear that people are generally flipping from right to left, not from left to right, relative to 2016. This is especially true among women and in the suburbs. The enthusiasm for the left is also much stronger now than it was in 2016. The voter who voted for Clinton who is now voting for Trump is practically legendary due to its rarity. People who stayed home in 2016 who don't plan on staying home in 2020 are also generally voting for Biden.

As for the video, this is Ben Shaprio. He is an extreme conservation who has spouted ideas that are racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, anti-semitic, etc. He is not representative of the average American by far, and it's no surprise he supports Trump in 2020.

I've brought up seatbelts before with @UltraSUPRA. He hasn't been able to rationalize having no problem with one while simultaneously calling the other a literal end to freedom as we know it.

One can support Trump without being a white supremacist.

He has already stated that he wants low top tax rates, and that's why. It's unsurprising a rich person would want to pay low taxes. It's why a lot of rich people vote for Trump.

Sorry, but I don't know what post you're referring to. Contrary to popular belief apparently, I am not a deity.
Never thought of you as a deity, and the question was a joke question and not a real one, hence the emoji icon.
The post I was referring to is this one. It was a very popular thread at the time. That post and the one on this thread was an opportunity to poke some fun, inject some humor into this thread.
Also another post by another user.
Don't take it seriously.

It is a silly slang name for a phenomenon. Such things get coined for just about everything, certainly anything that reaches the cultural zeitgeist. Can make understanding harder if a shared lexicon/dictionary is not had but with context its meaning is fairly plain.

my problem is that the name both implies a Jewish origin for the virus and can also imply that both the virus and the holocaust do not exist or are fake. As i mentioned in another thread, it is a known anti-Semitic term and threat. That is why i have problems with it.

So if you choose to read random things into words you too can get them struck off for no reason by claiming some kind of offence.

Fantastic.

Here's a new poll that was conducted after the hacked laptop allegations:

Yahoo News/YouGov poll: The tide turns against Trump as Biden surges to his largest-ever lead among likely voters (+11)
https://news.yahoo.com/yahoo-news-y...tever-lead-among-likely-voters-175644323.html
The survey, which was conducted from Oct. 16 to 18, shows that a majority of likely voters (51 percent) now say they are voting for the Democratic nominee, while just 40 percent say they are voting for Trump. Biden’s lead, which is identical among registered voters, has grown by 3 points since last week's Yahoo News/YouGov poll.

There's this also!

Poll: Biden Takes Double-Digit Lead Over Trump (+11)
https://www.npr.org/2020/10/15/923946468/poll-biden-takes-double-digit-lead-over-trump
Notably, Biden is leading in this survey with white voters 51% to 47%. That is extraordinary. Trump won white voters in 2016 by 20 points. Biden's 51% among white voters is the highest for a Democrat dating back to Jimmy Carter in 1976, when the U.S. was far less racially diverse.

Biden is currently beating Trump in national polls by about 10.7 points on average. This is the highest he has ever been against Trump. For some context:
  • Clinton won the popular vote by 2.1 points
  • Obama beat Romney by 3.9 points
  • Obama beat McCain by 7.2 points

You might as well give up that debate here. These people are not a bit rational. Now the jewish people are the only ones that have a full right to be disgusted by this whole blm movement. What happened to their people was horrific (not saying slavery wasnt) and there are still people that directly had it happen to them still alive. Yet dont tell anyone jewish lives matter u may get beaten or shot.
