Yeah. You think the country section was where I am now? No no no no I put that as my nationality, my race, my kind, all that.
That explains everything
And you know what, let me speak my opinions
  • Easily surrender US to Putin and/or Kim Jong-Un
Okay what part of his first term did he ever shown weakness that he would, "easily surrender" towards our biggest threats?
And then there's every other part of the world who suddenly has a change of heart and becomes a pussy towards America now

  • Not care about climate change (complained about clean wind energy or windmills decreasing bacon consumption, remember?)
Yeah no that was pretty embarrassing I'll give you that
  • Discriminate non-white races and women
Yet he gained more black votes than any republican candidate
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-black-voters-gains-results-1982939
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024...esults-how-black-voters-shifted-towards-trump
And the only women he discriminates is Rosie O'donnell
  • Deport millions of immigrants (many of which are the backbone of many jobs and workforce)
The illegal ones, starting with criminals (Which that's a big topic, because I do believe the immigrant system in America is pretty shit)
  • Increase prices on everything because of increased tariffs and letting greedy corporations to price gouge.
There's still an unemployment rate in the US, labor is cheaper in other countries so many businesses would put their factories outside of the US and we're forced to pay a fine get those imports (Hence why prices here are up, more people are selling necessary goods outside while we're struggling in some areas where we don't have enough resources to keep up demand or labor to manufacture them) Tariffs would help us gain some profits, like 20% or so (Not the exaggeration 200% Trump claims as that would make every country go bankrupt)
  • Dismantle the Department of Education
Project 2025, not written by Trump, written by enthusiasts and they're only ideas (A pretty terrible one though)
  • Put all his opponents in jail like a dictator
Yeah I'll give you that one too
  • Tax cuts for his rich allies
From that one clip alone that the Kamala campaign constantly used, only time will tell on that one, but as of now the only reason it looks like the Rich pay less taxes than Middle class is because the middle class don't contribute much to the income tax receipts
https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/latest-federal-income-tax-data-2024/
https://usafacts.org/articles/how-this-chart-explains-americans-wealth-across-income-levels/
Though more tax cuts would be really really really sweet (I mean who doesn't love no taxes?) And most importantly a better distribution of tax refunds
  • Tax increase on the middle-class
Why tho? And we're still under Trump's tax cut from 2017, the biggest one
https://scholar.harvard.edu/chodorow-reich/publications/lessons-biggest-business-tax-cut-us-history
  • Remove the Affordable Care Act
Because Obama Care has major issues and an increase of privatization would help each citizen get the right healthcare they need instead of receiving what everyone gets, though that's again a big topic to discuss so leave it up to debate
  • Possibly make it so that voting no longer has any power to elect anyone outside of his corrupt party.
Oh like you looooooove the electoral college system instead, where our founding fathers designed it where only the powerful ones in real political power can vote (Remember 2004 where 1 vote went to "John Ewards"?)
Hell, the closest someone got to abolishing the system was a Republican (Nixon) but that killed by a filibuster

Hmmm you got a point

*Sigh* No I should be saying sorry for letting it all out on you. I don't know why you and I are doing this, we're still kids, I feel we shouldn't repeat these steps and actions the adults here do. You're a good person, Quiver, know that, and I don't want this political difference ruining our friendship

I have been ignoring this thread but it keeps popping up every time i check the site, so here is my honest opinion:

I think we have a entire generation of mentally ill people on the left. Everything i see in the news is about transgenderism and abortion. Your worst fears are Trump banning transgenders from the army meat grinder and not being able to kill your fetus?

My worst fears about the left is the persecution, the government colluding with companies to censor, the law fare, the cancellations that destroy your life, the corruption, the excessive regulation that only breeds poverty, the lack of ethics and principles. "Pack the Supreme Court" right? Modern times have shown every time the left does that the country spirals into a Venezuela.
I hate this culture of walking on eggshells, humans aren't supposed to be living like this.

Quite a contrast isn't it?

No, Trump doesn't have full power. I know people on the left are used to this "uniparty" system where the Democrats vote 100% on whatever bill they want and no disagreement is allowed, but that is not how it works on the right. Right wing people are VERY propense to infighting and disagreement because, hey free speech!, everybody can have a opinion, nobody needs to agree even 50% with trump.
If you want some comfort for yourself, go look at the voting statistics of the republican party in both the lower house and senate in the past 10 years. If i said that 50% of them agree with trump on everything that would be a overestimation.

Some users even suggested Trump allowing cops to torture and rape migrants. How detached of reality can you be? One would expect that people taking part in a computer related hobby would at least display some level of sanity and skepticism. But no, we can't have that anymore, as even the creator of Linux allowed his foundation to be infested by deranged people. (Also rip OpenSUSE and Mozilla).

I didn't lose a kid like Musk but i agree with him, this crap is a mindvirus that infects, corrupts and destroy people.

Lmao that's absolutely fucking delusional. Righties treated GWB like a deity when he was in office and allowed the moron to sell out twenty years of this country's future to senseless wars and imperialism. Not a single one of those spineless fucks will whisper a single word of opposition if Trump wants to start a generations-long war with Iran, either. Oil companies and weapons manufacturers run the show entirely when Republicans are in control.

You are comparing people of 2024 to 2000 boomers with no social media. Never wondered why modern right is so anti war and anti MSM?

Tell me more about "I stand with Ukraine, we can't let Trump win".

You don't get to support imperialists like Putin, Netanyahu, and China in pursuit of Taiwan and then call yourself "anti-war." The right is in favor of isolationism so long as it's the fascists on the offensive, but that's not a positive thing by any objective measure. It shouldn't have to be said, but cowering before dictators and oligarchs shows weakness, not strength.
