SCOTUS stops the election interference....cold!

It was a " Mostly Peaceful " Insurrection.

Trump seems like a person I would not like if I got to actually know him.
The people who absolutely hate him and hate his political platform, however, make me give him some benefit of doubt. It’s a kind of “knowing him by his enemies.” If these are the kind of people who hate him, then there MUST be something good in there somewhere.

 

Neo-con and neo-liberal war-mongers. International corporatists and financiers. Various “social engineers” who wish to dissolve the family structure and convince my kids that they should sterilize themselves or self-select out of the gene pool some other way. The open borders crowd. The “free trade” crowd: that’s just a race to the bottom and loss of local production until we’re all living in third world conditions.

It's soooooo exhausting reading right wingers.!! I have always felt that the border should be controlled in a better manner, though. People should be able to come here and apply for citizenship--but in an orderly manner. What's the limit? 10,000? A million? 20 million? 100 million? There needs to be some reasonable limit .

 

Don’t know that I can put as much effort and verbiage into my response as you folks but here’s a couple of items;

I don’t care what Putin does in Eurasia. Furthermore, we made a deal during/after the fall of the USSR to not expand NATO into the old Warsaw pact. We have since reneged on that deal. We caused this. Not them. We are the baddies here. Don’t believe me: look it up for yourself.

As for the litany of faults you folks find in trump: I don’t know nor do I care if they are true. He might get off on sacrificing kittens to satan and smearing their blood on various holy books. I don’t care.

The people who want to start wars everywhere to “make the world safe for democracy”, offshore jobs, tax me beyond what any serf ever had to give to his master, trannify my kids, price me out of owning a home, change the definition of words to call an experimental gene “therapy” a vaccine and then force it on me, disarm me while specifically choosing to not detain/deter violent criminals, tell me and my children that we’re EVIL for not having sufficient melanin or the wrong genitals or failing to be attracted to the same sex; they ALL seem to hate trump. This makes me suspect that maybe he’s not so bad.

 

I’m not a right winger. I’m just anti-Orwellian. I’ve lived long enough and have a good enough memory to have noticed them changing the definitions of words and rewriting history to be the opposite of what it was. I no longer believe the narrative. Left or right is irrelevant.

 

" this makes me suspect that he's not so bad." True. He's a considerate , intelligent , honest, empathetic gentleman that deserves every accolade accorded him. All and all, a fine human being

You are right. I am wrong. Orange man bad. My memories of the past are all false. If you’ll excuse me, I must go listen to npr now.

People love to titilate themselves with fear. . . saying that he is coarse and crude is not enough. He is a threat to Our Democracy above and beyond the threats we face from current government and thugs in the streets.

 

I don’t watch video media for news nor do I listen to podcasts. I read printed words, preferably on paper, preferably in books, and the older the better so the story hasn’t been retold to suit various authors’ objectives. What modern news I do get actually does come from npr during my daily commute to and from work. Being literate and having over 50 years of life experience, I’m well aware of their implicit and explicit biases. I still listen to just stay barely abreast of current news a nothing more.

Much of what you stated in the above quoted post is based on false premises. I will not bother to address them because it is pointless to do so.
Your ardency has made me come to suspect that if “your side” told you water is dry, I could hold your hand in a bucket of it and you would not believe otherwise.

I have no side. I believe my own experience and what I can determine from as close to primary sources as I can get. Furthermore, as I alluded to earlier, I suffer from the same affliction as Winston Smith: I have a memory. I can recall how things used to be, concepts and history used to be understood, and what was considered proof vs rhetoric.

 

“A threat to democracy.” Amazing what can be justified to protect democracy. I notice the in-unison label of “a threat to democracy” only became a thing after it became apparent that the label of “literally Hitler” was losing its effect. Too bad really. It was a brief glimpse of linguistic shift happening. “Literally Hitler” was going from the most feared insult, and was well on its way to “Cool watch you have there, bro. That’s literally Hitler.”
