Former President Trump saw a slight decrease in his support among Republican primary voters after he skipped the first GOP debate last week, according to a new poll from Emerson College. The poll, …
Because they’re not going away, to be honest. I’m a conservative but I’m not one of them (call me a libertarian if it makes it easier to classify). I’m pro choice, and pro gay marriage, and pro drug legalization, but I think the tenth amendment matters more than you do and I’m pro gun. That makes me a conservative, fine. But we agree on a fuck load of things, and I’m not the only one like me. There’s lots of people who think like I do. And they’re enough people they’re a margin of victory. If you’re ok with them voting for Donald Trump then, by all means, keep it up. But if you want to be a fucking adult about this shit and understand that different people value different things there’s a lot of dialogue to be had, and that language (on both sides) is how we got as fucked up as we have.
Funny thing is, liberals are getting armed. I am a die hard liberal, and we have several guns in the house.
We are not all going to get shot like that lady with the rainbow flag in her shop… I mean, we’ll probably get shot anyway, but at least we could fight back. And who knows, maybe just seeing that we are armed will dissuade the POSs that want to try.
Say what you want, you aren’t going to get under my skin with nonsense. But I’m right, and I’m smarter than you are, especially about this, and you guys better get your shit together before you really cost the country.
I then enlighten us, libertarians generally want unrealistic deregulation in areas that result in poorer educational, health, and economic outcomes for groups of people that aren’t themselves.
Cutting taxes while giving roads, power lines, municipal waste and water systems, schools and whatever else to a public private partnership or free market that can do “better” doesn’t work. It’s unrealistic and the reason libertarians are a joke.
If you’re really a liberal who likes guns and disagrees with the left on a few other issues, get in line and welcome to the left. Where disorganized leaderless handwringing at least doesn’t lead to (as many) dead lgbt teens and (such exacerbated) globe ending pollution.
The issues with which I disagree with the left are literally the role of the State. That’s what the original line was, and why I don’t call myself a liberal, and I think there’s common ground to be found or compromise to be had.
Fine. Take it that way, I’m getting past caring honestly.
You can think about this shit a little more deeply than that or you can interpret what I said that way. I’m sick of trying to talk sense into you assholes, it’s not worth it.
I have to believe that’s not the case. The moment the time for conversation ends is the moment violence happens. That’s not an opinion or a threat, that’s how humanity operates. And if y’all wanna do that then fine, you do that, but I don’t want to be involved.
But since when you twats decide to light my country on fire I’m going to have to try to keep living in it, I’m gonna keep trying to talk to people that’ll listen. At least I’m fucking doing something to fix the shit, what are you doing?
I am actually doing a lot. I run a professional support community that provides tons of free support to anybody willing. We just raised enough funds for 40 scholarships and are making plans for professional grants next year.
I don’t have kids, I don’t eat mammals, I grow my own food, and support local agriculture, I drive as little as humanly possible, and more.
But trying to convince people that Trump is bad news? It’s too late. There is no changing anyone’s mind at this point.
Rhetoric like that is absolutely going to make them more willing to work with you, you should keep it up.
Literally nothing works on them so why bother? They never change.

Just gonna leave this here
You’re right, more people should be armed so they don’t even need the states to have rights.

I love that, honestly. I have lots of liberal friends, and I encourage firearm ownership among them.
What are the benefits of owning a fireman? Does it impact your home insurance rates or likelihood of total loss in case of a fire?
No and no. I own the firearm because I like to shoot and I want to have a firearm. I don’t need a better reason to have it, in my opinion.
There’s dozens of us! lol
10th amendment, states rights, sure sure. Let me guess what right…
How close did I guess?
They’re Libertarian, so it’s probably more about lowering the age of consent…

Ah yes, that’s why you’re saying things like
Those are the words of someone trying to work together and find compromises.
Libertarian is just another kind of republican asshole with a different name. Stfu.
Are you going to say something?
I’m fine with people being conservative. I’m not okay with people who are still supporting Trump and all the lies of the MAGA crowd.
You and me both.
I don’t want them to work with me, I want them to fuck off
They’re not going to, though. Believing they will makes you naive or stupid. What happens then?
You know, last century not a single decent person would say “we should work with the fascists”… and yet here we are…
Fine. Take it that way, I’m getting past caring honestly.

The time for a conversation has passed a long time ago. Nobody is convincing anybody of anything.
I have to believe that’s not the case. The moment the time for conversation ends is the moment violence happens. That’s not an opinion or a threat, that’s how humanity operates. And if y’all wanna do that then fine, you do that, but I don’t want to be involved.

Lol, I’m certainly not getting sucked into a concern trolling argument about compromising with fascists
Lol yeah They haven’t been seriously trying to work with anyone since before Newt Gingrich.
