  • I feel like a lot of the comments are kind of proving the point. If we say we don’t like Biden, then suddenly everyone assumes we aren’t voting and therfore are helping Trump. In reality, the meme literally says nothing about voting. That’s everyone else jumping to that conclusion.

    “I’m just reminding everyone!”

    Don’t worry. We all know how elections work.

    “I don’t care if you don’t like him! I care about votes!”

    Cool. Then let me not like him.




  • Yeah, there’s quite a few contradictions. Like they’re the ones encouraging everyone to start having kids. If people say they can’t afford it, conservatives tell them they will find a way. So if they can’t afford it and do, they’re bad patents. If they can’t afford it and don’t, they’re selfish.

    Also we shouldn’t spend other people’s money on these people’s kids for lunches. But we can spend even more of that money putting them on the system? Like it would be cheaper to just give them a breakfast and lunch at school. So even looking at it from a libertarian tax is theft standpoint, it’s still spending money on the kids. But more.

    Except it’s probably true. In the US centrist is usually used as a way go say between the two parties. In reality it’s used to say between capitalism and basically everything else. So groups like the democrats are on the right. The are what’s generally referred to as “right of center.” They are not in the center of the right, but just a little past centrist. And to he exact, they would be authoritarian right of center on the political compass.

    The Republicans are further right and further into the authoritarian square.

    So for you to be lib center, you would need to be to the left and further south from the democrats

    Which means the dems are between you and the Republicans

    But yet even though you’re closer to dems politically, you prefer the ones that are so far removed from you that you likely have little to nothing in common

    Vs the dems who are closer to you politically

    Feel free to make it make sense, but the majority of the time I see other Americans talk about being center or libertarian, they really mean right wing authoritarians who just want no taxes and sometimes legal weed

    Edit: Also, “I’m giving you the look you’re giving me” is just “No u”. But k





  • Yeah, at this point I think that’s the big thing I’m looking at. Getting rid of Trump. I know who ever is next will also still be the right wing authoritarian the party wants, but they won’t have the cult following. They’re not a religious leader. It’s at least something.

    But either way, as a gay man, me and my boyfriend are thinking we might get out if the Republicans do win. He’s on his last semester of nursing school. I have an associates in accounting, which isn’t much, but I can hopefully still have some leverage with it.
