I'm more than aware and I agree with you, but that's not the point I was making. I'm just showing the reason why and how these people did what they did. They're the ones that can actually think for themselves and realize that the Republican party, Q-anon, and Proud Boys don't give a crap about anyone but themselves. The reason why those people decided to leave.
I know right? Almost like they might be terrified they gaslit their most vulnerable demographic into a massive death wave, during a time when people have very little patience for their bullshit anyway.
Because of that, I've left the Republican party (they do not care about you, me, or this nation). I am unaffiliated at this time. Voting for POTUS by itself is not going to save us. We have to start getting active locally. The rules for electing a POTUS itself are governed by the laws of the individual states.
See, this I can agree with you on. All of it. I suspect it's in policy and the fine details where we would have... differences.
I think it's also worth noting that a lot of them got the taste of COVID-19 on their own skin. One of the major problems of socially conservative people (this applies to social conservatives everywhere in the world not just in the US) is selfishness and lack of ability to think far ahead, which is also reflected in their inability to consider that something is a problem until it happens to them personally. As soon as it does, they tend to change their tune, unless they're completely psychopathic like Trump. And it's not that being a conservative makes them that way, it's that people who think like that tend to be socially conservative 99 times out of 100.
You may have left the Republican party, but it's in name only. You still carry their poisonous ideas. Like a kid holding on to their safety blanket or special toy that gives them comfort. To truly be free of them, stop spouting their bull crap. Their lies, their disinformation, their highly false accusations, and their quarter truths. Stop using and spouting all of it, if you wish to truly be independent or unaffiliated. Otherwise you're still with them, just without the name and pretending otherwise.
That's a problem with most type of conservatives and the Republican party, they won't care until a personally affects them or somebody they actually give a rat's ass about. That's why I despise them the most.
I was in public school in the 1970s. We didn't call anyone that wouldn't drink the koolaid "white supremacists" back then. No one was telling me this country is "systemically racist" or other such malignant festering garbage.
A steady diet of right wing media doesn't help. It's impossible to self-determine your life and narrative when the media you consume does it for you.
The theory originated in the 70's. Of course you didn't learn about it immediately. Jesus H. Christ, did I really have to explain this to you?
And in Texas, the Republicans made it illegal to teach that. It's also illegal to talk about the Civil Rights movement and to identify the KKK as evil.
You rarely ever do. That applies way more to you than, @Adam Jensen. How about taking a lesson and start doing actual citations yourself on a regular basis.
What you have to explain is how, since 2016, anyone that wouldn't step into cattle cars to be taken to the "showers" is a "white supremacist" is not "new". Sure, there were a lot of socially destructive lunatics with crazy ideas dating back centuries. It is that the insane and evil ideas are now commonplace. That is what is new.
I cite sources frequently. Any time my text turns blue, you can click on it. I know I don't take up 8 ft of screen with webpage previews like some people, but that seems preferable.
No joke, what the hell does this mean? This doesn't work as a metaphor because I have no idea what is representing what in the equation.
Ideas like fascism? Or ideas like, "Trans people are people too?"
You don't do it enough compared to everyone else. You still goal post, ignore legit info or back up, try to add something that has nothing to do with anything, trying to make the abusers the actual victims, victim blaming, or try to see a gray area all of a sudden and say "both sides" are the problem. Not that different from the Trump supporters and the Republican party as a whole.
No, you don't. And why would I? First of all it's not a debate. Second of all I don't give a shit what you think. And third, it's not like you'll change your mind. You never do. And I'm not here to try to make you change your mind. So why would I (or anybody else for that matter), go through trouble of pleasing someone who I think is incompetent to comprehend abstract ideas?
And I stopped caring. You're invalid argument went into one ear, died a quarter way in from despair given by a psychotic Japanese high school girl with pink pig-tailed hair. Trying to live rent free inr my head and is currently getting kicked in the groin by a guy who constantly has his hands in his pocket. You know how that whole song and dance goes though.
