***Official Trump Keeps Winning Thread***

If the outbreak didn't spread, it was always going to spread upon reopening. The availability of testing is going to catch more people who are asymptomatic this time around, too. I get almost all of my information from apolitical doctors. I avoid those who seem to be repeating talking points pushed out by the media or politicians. I am hardly an extremist on this issue. In fact, this is one of the few issues I have an opinion on that is free from political bias, because my opinions were formed before Trump ever started talking about it. I have followed it since January. I was watching what other nations were doing, like Taiwan and S.Korea, while most people here claimed it wouldn't be a big deal. Spare me your lecture on this topic. As to the latter part of your statement, I acknowledge my comment was hyperbolic. It was done so intentionally, in part because I think Mikesez is the biggest moron on this board, and also in part because I think there is truth to that statement. I am fully aware of how our government works. I am also fully aware that there is an awful lot of gaslighting going on these days. People are becoming increasingly convinced this nation is "systemically" flawed, and won't be changed until we change the system. That new idea is called socialism, and it's gaining support without most people even understanding what that means. You see the violence and frustration escalating. These things don't happen overnight. There is a buildup that eventually overflows into the streets. It's getting there. Historically, most nations function pretty well right up until they don't. Many nations have fallen because "moderates" come to think comfort and civility are the status quo. It's not. People are not born wealthy. Wealth is created. People are not born civil. Civility is created. People are not born peaceful. Peace is created. People are not born with an innate law. Law is created. You start kicking out those pillars and it will collapse. You seem like a good dude, man, but look at the pillars that are getting kicked out in our society. You're being told we're kicking out the pillars of racism, but we're kicking out the pillars of law and order. You're being told we're kicking out the pillars of the patriarchy, but we're kicking out the pillars of the nuclear family. You're being told we're kicking out the pillars of equity, but we're kicking out the pillars of wealth and hard work. You're being told we're kicking out the pillars of offence, but we're kicking out the pillars of civility. You're being told we're kicking out the pillars of injustice, but we're kicking out the pillars of peace. I am as liberal as a conservative can get. I am open to looking at any one mechanism and making changes to try to improve upon what we're doing. I am not cool with burning everything to the ground and building it from scratch, using an ideology that has proven time and time again to be destructive, oppressive, immoral, and unjust. You think the moderates will come around, but you can't even see that there is a real threat coming from the left. If you do, you are dismissive of it. I was that way about 10 years ago, but it's bigger, better funded, and more organized than I realized until recently. I hope you are correct about moderates, but our elites have become SO corrupt. Did you see the proposal made by Bret Weinstein about the Darkhorse Duo? I think it is worth considering. Something has to be done to stop this division, and I don't think fixating on the right is the way to go. |
