American Politics

If all of this is true (monopolistic pricing and practices, writing the laws, capturing the regulators, gaming the system, executive pay. CEO salary is how many times the salary of the average worker? Have minimum salaries kept pace with spending power? It's the growing inequality gap, chasing the elusive dream) then desperate people would never vote Republican. They vote Republican because they are afraid of Brown people. And black people. And red people. And yellow people. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-polit...cs-immigration.

What really galls me though is the "third world foreigners who are too glad to chase after any crumbs" mentality. Unless you are a Native American, you are a child of "foreigners". And unless your ancestors immigrated from an English-speaking country and were wealthy when they got here, they arrived with nothing and could speak virtually no English.

Low IQ leftists don't understand how mass third world immigration hurts American workers and benefits the elite CEO class because they don't understand supply and demand.

They are the same kind of people who supported the women soccer players demands to be paid the same as the men despite the fact that women's soccer generates like 2% of the revenue of men's soccer (hilariously, the case concluded that the women were relatively overpaid already).

As for the second point, when Europeans emigrated to America in the 19th century and before, there was no welfare state and little wealth. It was the European settlers who created all of that out of nothing.

Now third world flunkies break into the country and immediately get housing, food, healthcare and other welfare paid for by the American taxpayer. Those of them who do work benefit from the huge and wealthy American economy created by the earlier European settlers.

None of that existed in the 19th Century and before. It is incredibly ignorant to compare the illegal welfare flunkies currently swarming the border to the settlers who created America.

Wingers are afraid of anybody who doesn't look like them. And they forget (but in truth probably never knew it anyway) that we've been through all of this before. With the same tired BS. Italian hatred in the late 1800's: https://www.pri.org/stories/2015-11-...anean-migrants Irish hatred earlier: https://www.vox.com/2015/3/17/822717...igrant-history.

And unless your ancestors immigrated from an English-speaking country and were wealthy when they got here, they arrived with nothing and could speak virtually no English. And your ancestors gladly chased after any crumbs they could find.

So spare me the manufactured outrage. Wingers want America to return to the 50's. Specifically, the 1850's when it was legal to own black people and to shoot them if they misbehaved.

You are believing your own myths. Or you've internalized your own projections. Same thing.

In context exclusively of America historically -- and not from any anthropological perspective -- let the brother give you his first person take (something informative unlike an encyclopedia entry):

The "election" was obviously fraudulent. Millions of mail-in ballots spammed out to whoever. No ID checks, no verification. Ballots dropped off into "collection boxes" or picked up en masse by democrat operatives.

And then at midnight, when they realised that they hadn't cheated enough to beat Trump's massive vote, they had to shut the count down in places like Atlanta, Detroit and Philadelphia, throw out all the election observers, board up the windows, then bring in hundreds of thousands of fake ballots at 4 am, 98% for Biden.

If it happened in Uzbekistan or Burkina Faso, nobody would recognize the result.

And that's not even getting into the massive fake news and social media suppression of information prior to the election. The fact that social media actually banned the country's oldest newspaper, the New York Post for running a true story highlighting Biden family corruption that came directly from Hunter's laptop. The fact that the fake media hid Biden's senility and incapability, and allowed him to hide in his basement reading from an autocue for an hour a day.

Again, if such obvious bias happened in some third world country, nobody would recognize the result.

As for mass immigration, look at California. 50 years ago, 90% white, easily the best place in the world. Today, 40% white, a failing shithole with a tiny elite and a mass of penniless peasants literally shitting in the streets.

If you changed the demographics of Nigeria and filled it with 30% Indians; or filled China with 50 million Africans, or filled Mexico with 40 million Chinese, how do you think it would go? Would they join hands and sing kumbaya? Or would there be riots, tensions, and destruction of living standards and quality of life for everyone?

Man, I hope the Dems have their shit together that much for the midterms, the next presidential election and every election after that for the next 30-40 years. They'll need it to counter all the voter suppression laws panicky state and local Repubs are putting on the books targeting Dems.

It'll be great to have the Dems control the Presidency and both Houses of Congress at least that long no matter what.

I knew they were the only Party of the 2 major ones that hasn't produced a serious economic downturn of the past 100 years, destroyed millions of USA jobs (ever) or foolishly left us bare ass naked to prevent or respond to the risk of a Pandemic. But I had no idea they were also smart and competent enough to commit widespread election/voter fraud to swing the outcome without leaving a shred of evidence behind convincing enough for teams of Repub-hired attorneys to discover and present in a court of law.

Damn, they're good!

[MarquisdeSade1]

He sure did. He has a lot in common with the current deep state swampers infesting Washington: all are bolsheviks who despise America and our freedoms.

2 Catholics cheated their way into the White House.

There it is. The hatreds between different non-white ethnic groups are usually worse than between whites and others. See Koreans v blacks in LA. Say goodbye to the nice, peaceful, friendly, united, homogeneous country we enjoyed for 200 years.

[Chris P]

Are you referring to our Lord and Savior, President Donald J Trump.

The savior of western civilization.

Humanity's last hope, 2024.

Certainly America's last hope.

Given that they had to cheat to "win" the 2020 election with Biden who, for all his many faults is a reasonably likeable and relatable guy to most Americans, there is no possible way that they can get Harris across the line against Trump.

On top of the economic disaster (terrible economic news for Biden / Harris came out yesterday) and the humiliation of Afghanistan, Harris is universally detested, even by her own side.

She is an unlikeable, cackling affirmative action **** who fucked her way up, not to mention barely even an American. No wonder she has no understanding of our liberties and way of life. She makes Hillary Clinton seem like Mary Tyler Moore.

The fraud will have to be like something out of Mubarak's Egypt. If it happens, expect the beginning of the end for the current rotten system.

[Chris P]

Right, because it's Trumps fault that covid happened. Not like it's global pandemic or anything.

According to the communists and their fake media, not a single person would have died of covid if a Democrat had been president.

This is despite the fact that Trump stopped flights from China way back in January 2020, when Pelosi was telling people to hug a Chinaman, and Biden criticised the move as "xenophobic".

So despite the fact that they would have kept accepting flights full of covid-infected Chinese from Wuhan for weeks if not months longer than Trump did, there would have been fewer covid cases and deaths in America in Democrat bolshevik clownworld.

Starting to see why they're called fake news?

How sad this all is. Didn't someone. Stalin perhaps? - that it doesn't matter who votes, it's who counts the votes.

He sure did. He has a lot in common with the current deep state swampers infesting Washington: all are bolsheviks who despise America and our freedoms.

The term Big Pharma is clearly unfamiliar to you. "In it for the money": monopolistic pricing and practices, writing the laws, capturing the regulators, gaming the system, executive pay. CEO salary is how many times the salary of the average worker? Have minimum salaries kept pace with spending power? It's the growing inequality gap, chasing the elusive dream that have people desperate enough to grasp at straws or grifters. Bringing in third world foreigners who are too glad to chase after any crumbs is no solution. It's actually an ultimate act of eff you cynicism to honest, taxpaying working folks. And then having the chutzpah to then call these people racists is sheer hubris.

We're long past the 1930's and the heyday of Brittanica. Post-truth, post-postmodern, a word is whatever you want it mean. A sex is whatever you want it it be: choose your own. Politics is whatever you want it to be. You are defining yourself when try to define people you don't like. There you go.

It is easy to support the former guy. His supporters reject any source that isn't a wingnut source. They reject any thought that isn't a wingnut thought. They haven't a clue what fascists, xenophobes or racists are. They do know what homophobes are, thoough, and many of their ranks are squarely in the closet.

[PVMonger]

Right, because it's Trumps fault that covid happened. Not like it's global pandemic or anything.

It is the former guy's fault that more Americans died on his watch than the combat deaths during the Civil War. Why? Because he lied about it. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...avirus/608647/.

He admitted it to Bob Woodward, FFS! https://apnews.com/article/virus-out...1b8b3d3fc046fa.

Add the above to the fact that the former caused many of the problems we see today. Back when the only things we had to fight the virus were masks and social distancing, he politicized masks. Then he urged his supporters to inject disinfectant. Now we have vaccines and a high percentage of his supporters won't take it. At his last superspreader event (oops, rally) his own cult boo'ed him for suggesting they get vaccinated. We currently have a COVID variant (delta) that's killing younger people and the brainwashed still cling to "COVID only kills old people with co-morbidities" line. And all of that can be laid at the feet of the former guy.

Look at countries that have done far better than the US. Then look at countries that have done worse. Virtually all of them have wingnut fascists in charge. https://www.worldometers.info/corona...=homeAdvegas1?.

[CrowExplorer]

Yes, Donald J. Trump, of Trump's Pandemic, the blatantly obvious life-long con man who suckered you into voting FOR another Great Repub Crash and Massive USA Jobs Destruction with the added bonus this time of mass murdering 650,000+ Americans and hobbling international travel for mongering, perhaps forever, due to his previously well known penchant for astonishing incompetence, cowardice and lies..

Right, because it's Trumps fault that covid happened. Not like it's global pandemic or anything.

Nah, you're just sad that your beloved entertainer lost.

Funny though how you remembered Stalin thinking of Trump.

Of course "big corporations" are in it for the money.
