Ignore the maga

I'm hanging in there. I've had friends in Australia and New Zealand who have reached out to me to relocate. I'm giving it some thought based on what will transpire.
Move to sToLEn LaNd?

Have you no shame, sir?
 
Many have left that party. Unfortunately that vacuum has been filled by total racist trash, many of whom log on here. The only lesson they will learn is when things start hurting financially until they become destitute. Then, anarchy will ensue.
The two things that have always held this country back are religion and rednecks.
 
Block them all. Don't engage. You ain't changing them. Let the 40 or so of them talk to themselves and circle jerk. Why are you good people talking to them? Take a zero tolerance policy and retain your intelligence and dignity.
Because it makes me feel better about myself. Even more than running into Walmart.
 
I am intrigued to see how they react when they actually get what they are voting for. Not that they will ever accept responsibility. They will find some way to blame immigrants or Democrats for their social security being reduced or canceled or whatever they end up doing.
Well...that's kind of how it works now.

Dems will be blamed, because they don't blame the illegal immigrants, they blame the dems for making no effort to slow the flow of them or vet them.

As a stress test of the first point. Who's fault is the massive inflation that happened under Biden?
 
OP and others who agree with him. it’s your prerogative to use the ignore list but what do you really gain? for instance the tariff thread has participation from all sides and from what i saw (i acknowledge omly sampling some of the posts) was pretty informative.
i would say you should engage with your opposition otherwise you are doing exactly what folks who don’t want america to thrive would like to see. you should definitely pillory your opponents mercilessly when you can but also take the punch if called for.

Sadly, they didn't see that.

Most sane people have been doing that for years. Get with the program OP.

Can I assume if a conservative starts a thread y'all will stay the hell out since you don't want to hear anything from conservatives?

That might be nice too 🤷‍♂️.

Aren’t you supposed to delete your account? Can’t honor a bet?

Why wait, blow this shithole. Your words….punk victim.
 
It's going to be a shit show this time. RFK Jr near any health department is terrifying. It is going to be the government version of 4 anti-vaxxers sitting around a table talking their version of science.
Not remotely but sure believe the scare tactics and lock yourself away in the basement for the next 4 years. No one will notice.
 
You can lurk like I do and watch. No need to engage otherwise.
So why don’t you do that instead of starting the same thread over and over and over again.
Makes one wonder why you’re even allowed to continue to post the same crap over and over

No, he's suffering from shell shock and this is his coping mechanism for the election and then welching on the bet he made with me completely.

The immature reaction to the election from the sore winners and sore losers alike has been neither enjoyable nor surprising. So many pathetic people. This country would be so much better off if people stopped infotaining themselves and instead learned a new skill like guitar, basket weaving, or sucking their own dick.

Agreed

The issue I see that has formed in the USA is that people are treating politics now like their religion. They removed actual religion from their lives and replaced with with politics.

There are a lot of similarities.

Government has replaced God as a supreme being. The Transfiguration has been replaced by transgenderism. The body and blood of Christ is manifested in the body and blood of aborted babies. And instead of the forgiveness of sins we get the forgiveness of student loans.

🤷‍♂️

If there’s a tried and true method of conflict resolution, it is shutting down dialogue altogether.

I want to hear from conservatives. But I don't want to hear from batshit crazy Trump supporters. They're a complete waste of time.

Rs treat politics like their religion. Let's set that straight. They literally think of Trump as their God.

You are right...some do and it is stupid.
He can do no wrong in their books. They can't quit him. They identify as him. It's sick. You think we Dems have any real attachment to Biden or Harris? They're just elected officials to us. Sure we can hold rallies and get excited about them. But at the end of the day, we see them as people who can either run the country or not.

But Trump supporters think he's some divine god. Even when he loses they still pray he will come back. They need him in their lives. It's really fvcked up behavior.

Lotta truth to this, and I’m going to stick with my BinsSidzing—it truly is both sides.

I am on record with my observations on the left’s invention of a shared secular morality, I call it the ‘Lisa has become Flanders’ hypotheses. I read some interesting commentary a while back which included data that correlated the decline in church participation on the right with the rise in Trumpism—anyone who denies the abandonment of certain core Christian values in MAGA is not credible.

There probably are some who think and act that way, no doubt, but they are going to respond to every perceived “attack” by responding to posts like yours that continually fan the flames.
If they could just simmer in their own stew and you don’t stir that pot it will burn out.

Both Trump and Biden are to blame. You won’t hear the inconvenient truth from any Republican, but Trump issued more stimulus (i.e. printed more money) than Biden. That is not an opinion, that is the objective reality.

But only one of them got the blame because inflation takes a while to show up.

Some? It's millions. How do you have a country when millions of Republicans think the president is God and can do whatever he wants?

And it won't burn out. Trump won't let it. We could not say a peep and Trump will just make up outrages to keep his flock going. You know it's true.

No, but I do think there is a large chunk of the left that has left all religion and turned government into their god.

No we haven't. We see government as a tool to improve our lives. Because that's the function of government. It's the Rs who see government as a religion. They even push Christianity into government realms to marry the two.

The sane conservatives died decades ago. Fred Barnes and William F. Buckley wouldn't even make it in the gop these days. And yes, I am aware Buckley is deceased.
 
Here’s a hymn I remember from my Catholic upbringing. It was a favorite of our priest. The text could easily be imagined as a joyful scene from a Harris OR Trump rally.

City of God
Song by Dan Schutte and St. Louis Jesuits

Awake from your slumber
arise from your sleep
a new day is dawning
for all those who weep
The people in darkness
have seen a great light
the lord of our longing
has conquered the night

Let us build the city of God
may our tears
be turned into dancing
for the lord
our light and our love
has turned the night into day
We are sons of the morning,
we are children of day.
The one who has loved us
has brightened our way.
The lord of all kindness
has called us to be
a light for his people
to set their hearts free.

Let us build the city of God
may our tears
be turned into dancing
for the lord
our light and our love
has turned the night into day.
