Everyone knows the democrats do a great job running those big cities, right?

You do realize that areas run by Democrats contribute the very large majority of our country's GDP, right? They are simply far more productive than Republican run areas, and Republican run areas are generally dependent on Democratic run areas for funds because they can't support themselves.

and then of course, they vote with dead people, among others named by the months of the year. Over and over again. Then during the election they keep republican inspectors back 10 feet so they cannot see the subterfuge.
It's weird that you believe these lies even after they've been disproven over and over. You do realize that the people putting these lies out know they are false and just keep doing it because they think you're stupid enough to believe them, right?

Seriously, no one has more contempt for conservatives than conservative elites. They're laughing at how easily duped you are.

The impeachment was witch hunt.
I always find it amusing that people who claim to be Christians are such big fans of basically the embodiment of the seven deadly sins, haha. If you made a character like him in a book people would claim it was unrealistic.

I don't really care what other people think of me, the left wing has already tried to take me down multiple times. I just stand for the truth since we got into this debate I will defend the truth, it's really simple. I'll leave later after you've been thoroughly defeated.

NO, I do respect college. I never said there was anything remotely wrong with college, did I?
Yes, I mentioned you will pretend to believe this earlier. You guys are nothing if not predictable. honk honk

He's just jealous because half-dead Hillary didn't win. :joycat:
Plus, he wanted to bash Trump because he is no where near as loaded.
Trump also went to a very prestigious school, and here you guys are talking about higher education like Trump has nothing in his history that compares.

Remember, Soros has resorted to paying people to riot for him against the right wing and traditional government and Trump. Because otherwise, nobody cares. :joycat:

Every been to a Trump rally? Like nothing you've ever seen before. The unity and patriotism you feel is like no other candidate. The media can't stand it:

You are such a dumbshit. Trump's campaign mandated where the cameras went, then bitched about the bias of the media putting the cameras too close.

I'm guessing you've never driven through rural Oklahoma or Arkansas if you think those pictures look bad. Most rural cities are falling apart and half abandoned, and tons of rural property owners have trash all over their property. Maybe you should actually visit some places as opposed to looking at right wing memes.

I drove through a lot of rural towns in Utah last year when I was there, basically shanty towns that didn't look fit for a human to live there. Houses were all dilapidated and looking like they're about to collapse, yards overgrown and old cars/tractors and other trash rotting in the weeds. Hell, I just have to go up to Antioch if I want to see a shitty ass town with stuff falling apart.

When driving across country this summer I spent a night in Sayre, Oklahoma. It was one of the most depressing places I've ever seen.

Honestly the entirety of Oklahoma was incredibly depressing. I think people don't realize how much of the lower midwest and south is like a third world country.

Oklahoma - a state so broke they put up a sign warning of guardrail damage and leave the damaged guardrail for years before fixing it. Just be sure to not crash where the guardrail is damaged and it's all good.

Oklahoma isn't third world. But there are a lot of very depressing shitty towns. I always thinking rural Arkansas and Alabama is much worse. But Tulsa is nice, OKC tries.

I think some it is I've been through the rural midwest and south so much it really takes a lot to shock me, so Sayre never seems that bad to me, but certainly much worse than all these democrats cities republicans talk about. This summer I was going to Alabama when the I-40 bridge in Memphis was closed, so I took a very long detour through rural Eastern Arkansas and Mississippi. OMFG, especially in Arkansas, it was really like driving through a hillbilly horror movie. Mississippi was actually nice in comparison.

I was merely demonstrating that democrats "essentially" only control the population dense areas of the nation, large cities, etc. The vast majority of the United States is red.

The map is accurate. Those are the counties that Trump won.

The reason this is significant is that democrats cannot convert votes so they are forced to focus on population dense areas where they can brainwash and control and pump drugs in and then destroy (ie detroit)
Biden won the popular vote with how much?

It’s funny watching a cult member post memes that people on this forum and elsewhere have debunked in the past. It just shows you how little they look into their ideas and the information they use to justify their views.

Well it’s not really funny, more sad than anything.

The scary thing is the very copy-paste nature of your rhetoric. It's virtually a one-for-one echo of what Trump and pro-Trump outlets say. You can't even think of significantly different words to express the same ideas. Doesn't it worry you at least slightly that your worldview is a carbon copy of someone else's, rather than your own?

You don't have to become a Democrat or liberal. A healthy democracy requires differing political views to keep people in check and float ideas that one side might not consider. But there's no rational justification for supporting Trump, either. He's demonstrably dishonest, has a track record of corruption from long before he entered politics, and spurs violence (and I don't just mean on January 6th). You should be arguing for a better version of conservatism, not clinging to an either/or mindset where you either accept conservatism exactly as it is or reject it entirely.

There are similar rates of illicit drug use, and alcholism, in rural v urban places. Yet somehow in cities it's a form of mind control. What are higher abuse rates of alcohol, opioid pills, and meth in rural areas then? Just an ordinary problem?

I can understand why you might think that. However, I know for a fact trump is a true patriot and loves this nation down in his heart. If you know anything about patriots, is that they all share a common world view, just like if you are a liberal and follow blindly the left wing mainstream narrative that Trump is bad.

You know it for a fact, eh? You're either the mind reader that you claim to be, or you're a sucker. If you can't recognize pathological narcissism in another human being, then you're the latter.

Yeah I haven't been to the cities there so maybe they are nice. As far as Sayre goes I don't know - I went into the Denny's there (big mistake, I know), and it was not a pleasant sight.

I stopped a night in Arkansas too, that was pretty grim. Also, Odessa Texas - that entire town smells like it farted.

You're proving my point... again, no deviation from the 'script' you've been given to read.

Trump is demonstrably unpatriotic. He asked Pence to violate the Constitution by refusing to certify the Electoral College votes over unsubstantiated claims of significant voter fraud. Let me repeat that: violate the Constitution. And even if there was evidence (there wasn't), it wouldn't have been Pence's responsibility to make the final call; the certification is a formality.

And sorry, but real patriots don't "share a common worldview." The US is based on the very concept that differing ideas and dissent are allowed and even encouraged, provided they don't significantly harm others. Patriots just want to make their country better by reasonable means, and to protect those aspects proven to work well through evidence. Those means can vary widely. You know what kind of politicians demand conformity to a single, homogenous idea of patriotism? Authoritarians.

Something else to add: it's strange that you think your statements are these decisive, triumphant blows that we've never heard before, that we'll cave and revere Trump as the greatest leader in US history. Er... no. We've heard your arguments many times before (because you're just echoing Trump). There's plenty of evidence to disprove them. You're not a bald eagle making a patriotic stand, you're a fly on a rhino's back... you're not going to challenge a thing, and we're just going to snicker at you.
