American Politics

Twelve years ago, with the rise of the Tea Party, I had the insight that we should start a 501 (c)(3) "Real Americans for Patriotism Tomorrow" or something. Just a webpage, "Send Obama back to Kenya", "If you WANT the US to get out of North America in 2012, send $39 to [URL]RAPTomorrowToday.com[/URL], etc etc. Of course, 90% of the receipts would go to administrative costs (me), 10% on amygdala stimulating web ads. Perfectly legal and perfectly easy. I mean, I don't need the money, but there is something really appealing to me about getting money by doing nothing. Especially, by tricking these gullible fools. It's still not too late. Indeed, billions are still being stripped from the American Kook Klass.

The republican party really has devolved into a know nothing / anti science party -- a party of the credulous. Why? I think it is largely correlated with religious belief. Once you have allocated a portion of your brain for the belief that there is an invisible Ghost living in the Sky, who listens to your prayers and who controls everything, then you simply can believe anything. That's why the republicans have become such perfect marks for a skilled grifter like Trump. He has looted hundreds of millions from them since the election, and just used it for himself-- yet there is more. His minions have an infinite capacity to believe.

[QUOTE=Xpartan;2576979]Rush, Tucker, Hannity, Alex Johns and other ultra-right pundits have actually accomplished a lot. They've amassed huge personal fortunes.

And there're still billions to be made in lying. Rupert Murdoch infamously said that if there had been as much money in liberal punditry, he would've switched in a second.

I don't know why it is the way it is. Maybe because liberals tend to doubt everything, whatever the source. The conservatives, especially the ultras, tend to eat any garbage with gusto, as long as it conforms to their existing worldviews.

Can you imagine liberal Qanon? Liberals would've been the first to laugh it out of existence.

And the funniest part is, after every bite they lick their lips and call us sheep, LOL.[/QUOTE]It goes back to at least Reagan. He conflated Dems with Liberals and then proceeded to demonize "libs" so effectively in the mind of voters already open to voting for Repubs his VP successor in the White House actually resorted to calling the ideology "the L word."

And once you have demonized the one political Party that produces and presides over every significant economic recovery, expansion, USA jobs creation, stock and housing market gain, etc and none of the Crashes going back as far as legitimate data exists for such things, it is easy to get hysterical suckers to vote for or choose ANYTHING, even the most damaging economic and national security results for themselves, their friends, family and country, in order to avoid being perceived as a member of that mis-aligned and demonized group.

Republican-voting suckers actually caught and died from Covid-19 after refusing to wear a mask for fear that they would be taken for a "Democrat"/"lib" for doing so.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2576738]Amazingly, this is actually not a bad post. The only thing you missed out is that the democrats will attempt another fraud in their corrupt shthole cities, and they will claim the "win" through this (let's be honest, there's no way Kamala "Heels Up" Harris could win an honest election: she simply doesn't have time to blow the necessary ten million voters).

The Republican Party will have been de-RINO'd by then, courtesy of primary challengers, and with their spines stiffened by the threat of losing their seats plus four more years of inoculation against the fake news media, will refuse to surrender weakly as they did last time.

This will hopefully begin moves toward [b]secession[/b]. Heartland heritage Americans have nothing in common with Salvadoran MS-13 anchor babies or SSRI-crazed barren bluehair feminist socialist fatties. Let them have their country and we will have ours.[/QUOTE]160-some-odd years ago, a bunch of racists tried the same thing. How'd that work out?

[QUOTE=JohnClayton;2577031]Kind of wishing it was a little more deadly.[/QUOTE]Some quick math is in order.

1. 60% of voting age people voted in 2020 ([URL]https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/01/28/turnout-soared-in-2020-as-nearly-two-thirds-of-eligible-u-s-voters-cast-ballots-for-president/[/URL]).

2. That means that there are approximately 264 million voting age people in the US. (see above).

3. Approximately 25% of voters identity as RepubliKKKan ([URL]https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/04/fewer-americans-identify-as-republican-in-2021-gallup.html[/URL]).

4. That means a universe of about 66 million RepubliKKKan voters.

5. About 40% of RepubliKKKans won't get vaccinated ([URL]https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/as-more-americans-get-vaccinated-41-of-republicans-still-refuse-covid-19-shots[/URL]).

6. Therefore, about 26 million RepubliKKKans won't get vaccinated.

7. Assuming that the 2% death rate holds true, that means about half-a-million fewer RepubliKKKan voters in 2022.

[QUOTE=JohnClayton;2577031]Kind of wishing it was a little more deadly.[/QUOTE]If it had been 10 times more deadly the suckers who bought into the decades long Repub demonization of "Democrat"/"libs" and how the Social Issues For Suckers were supposedly ruining America and their lives would still have refused to wear a mask to save their lives or the lives of their family and friends so as not to be perceived, even by themselves, of being one of them.

So it's a snap to get them to vote for the next Great Repub Crash, Depression, Recession and Disaster and the next one, the one after that and on and on, totally against their own economic and national security interests, election after election.

[QUOTE=Canada;2576967]I was wondering what the anti American, anthem kneeling and flag burning democrats did on 4th of July since they can't honor or respect USA and this great country. Maybe PV monger and his buddies can tell us how their flag burning went last weekend.[/QUOTE]Sorry to disappoint you but flag burning is constitutionally protected free speech. [URL]https://www.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/free-speech-flag-burning_1.pdf[/URL].

Why are you against the First Amendment?

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2577184]If it had been 10 times more deadly ...[/QUOTE]Yeah, still not deadly enough -- wuz thinking more like a 30% mortality.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2577187]Sorry to disappoint you but flag burning is constitutionally protected free speech. [URL]https://www.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/free-speech-flag-burning_1.pdf[/URL].

Why are you against the First Amendment?[/QUOTE]I am against burning the flag and anti Americans like you. (possibly you are not American and that is why you hate America). Burning the flag, kneeling for the National Anthem really brings unity to a country. You like the rest of the anti America socialists are a disgrace. There is not another country in the world that you would be welcome.

Democratic suckers paid $27,000,000 to George Floyd family because George Floyd the lifelong criminal didn't support his family before his death. Democratic suckers gave $90,000,000 to Black Lives matter who's founder retired this year with 4 new houses and millions of dollars. Yes amazing they did trick those gullible democrat fools. And these gullible fools are still getting suckered.

You also forgot the 170,000 dead people who voted for Biden. Are you saying the Republicans who die from Covid won't be able to vote next year? The democrats are still trying to oppose election reform so that the democrats who die from Covid this year can still vote next year.

Why are you against the First Amendment?[/QUOTE]Since when do fascists like freedom. Fascists wants a police state. They want the homeless sent to the gas chamber along with blacks and other people not quite white enough. They want military parades and endless wars to keep the poor busy and maximise their profits, The don't want free press to shine a light on their criminal enterprises, they admire Putin and how he run Russia, just like Don the crime does.

[QUOTE=JohnClayton;2577197]Yeah, still not deadly enough -- wuz thinking more like a 30% mortality.[/QUOTE]If Fauci came out tomorrow and declared 30% mortality, most democrat voters would believe him and barricade their doors, starving to death.

Hmm, anyone good at deepfakes?

According to all the fruitcakes here there were 11 m illegals in total in the country (including children). How did Don the crime miss all these illegals in the great ICE cleanout. Why do you think Kolbach lost all credibility. He was given the chance to find the 3 m illegals that were supposed to have voted in 2016 and could not find any of them. Why because there were none. But that does not bother Mr Make up the Facts Canada.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2577136]160-some-odd years ago, a bunch of racists...[/QUOTE]Lincoln wanted to ship the blacks back to Africa. His quote: "I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races. I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races from living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be a position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. "

You probably didn't know that, as you no doubt learn your history from Hollywood movies.
