Plans for when Biden loses?

[vi edit]

Please provide pictures next time so we all may laugh at the turds.

Ok. It's not downtown, but this was half way up Mt Tabor on my bike last week. Clearly, Portland has fallen.

NY and California are cesspools that have massive populations. They have created the democratic utopia and people are running like hell to get away. Thankfully there is a system in place to give less populated states a voice.

While I can understand not wanting to make smaller states feel overshadowed by the mammoth economic machines (e.g. New York, California, and Texas), but on the flip side, why is it fair that an individual vote cast in those large states is arguably less worthwhile than one cast in a small, mid-western state? I can't remember the numbers, but if you combine the smaller (population-wise) states, they comprise a small amount of the population, but a considerably larger part of the vote.

I recall hearing of an initiative to have states cast all of their electors for whomever wins the national popular vote, and how some of the states have joined it already. Albeit, I don't think it has the support necessary for it to actually become a reality this election.

What unbelievable anarchy!

 

[WelshBloke]

lol. You don't seriously believe that do you? Any hope you guys had went out the fucking window when you guys let a bunch of anarchist losers rape and pillage the very towns you live in. You woke up a sleeping giant. The american people are going to speak loud and clear this election and you aren't going to like their answer.

You know all those protestors? They are the American people. And they are furious at the last few years of Trump.

Ok, found a recent pic of Downtown. Clearly Anarchist Jurisdiction.

He doesn’t see anyone that’s not a part of the trump cult as American.

They’ve been primed by propaganda to believe in an impending civil war.

It is funny. I have a cousin that lives south of Houston and free bases Fox News daily. In June/July he was texting me..are you ok? How bad is it there?

And I'm just like, I'm more worried about actual fires than a garbage can on fire.
Then September came and low and behold, we had actual fires threatening us.

Crickets on that.

Because some really smart mofuckers put together a constitution and so far so good.
Also it's not fair for a few states to decide what is good for the country. People are easily influenced and when they get together it's easy for them to lean a certain way. This gives representation to all of Americans.

The projection is so strong I've got those spots in my eyes when I look away from the monitor.

Furious over what? Some fat smug asshole that bangs hookers? You people are unbelievably naive to the world around us. Our biggest fucking problems pale in comparison to the rest of the world. Get the fuck over it. Get a job. Take care of your family. No one is stopping anyone from doing this.

So much irony in this statement

So you were a fan of the 3/5ths compromise?

No they are not Americans. They want anarchy. Chaos. Whenever you resort to violence and anarchy you lose. Whatever I might say to you really doesn't matter if I start by punching you in the nose.

 

[ivwshane]

I rest my case.

Give me a fucking break. I've been riding my bike around three boroughs of NYC and meeting with people that live in the city and there is zero sign of rape, pillaging, anarchy burned buildings, fire, war, or whatever bullshit right wing media uses on the feeble minded folks like yourself. There is a funny thread on the NYC subreddit about all the anarchy going on. Not like you ignorant x-urban and rural red folks give a flying fuck about the cities filled with liberals anyways. It's all just faux concern and a reason to get the simpleminded authoritarian fascists in you riled up.

You folks have benefited from both wealth redistribution on a federal level, socialist policy that gives you guys the infrastructure you take advantage of, and with states that have income taxes, wealth redistribution from blue urban areas to less populated red areas.

Meanwhile GOP led states across the US are actively obstructing the ability for Americans to vote. The one thing that we as a country hold dear and makes us a beacon to other countries that strive to be free. A free and fair election. With politicians and courts trying in a desperate death flop to cling on to whatever power they have left to keep Americans from voting them out.

That's Anti-American. And if you support that, you are too.

Motherfucker, I LIVE in the heart of Portland and go downtown almost daily.

I'm a born and raised Portlander. The worst thing that's happened to Portland in 2020 hasn't been the protests, but by far the devastation wrecked on the economy from Trump's mishandling of COVID.

Neil Stephenson who writes a lot near term futuristic and cyberpunk fiction had a subplot in his last book that I thought was a little far fetched. Now I realize he was dead on.

In the story some asshole spent about a million bucks to sabotage the internet providers into Moab Utah and then spread fake video and social media accounts about it being nuked.

After internet and telecom was returned and the attack was proved false, Moab truthers continued to deny the city existed, thought any mainstream reporting was a conspiracy, and would attack people who claimed to still be living there online.

I mean who would believe a city that wasn’t destroyed was actually destroyed but here we are. Just conflate rioters and looters with protestors and substitute them for the nuke and replace Moab with Portland.

 

[WelshBloke]

No they are not Americans.

You said the quiet part out loud.

Man has Trumpsim brought out the latent fascism that's been lurking under the surface the last 40 years. Thank god America is rejecting Trump and he's losing so badly because this kind of diseased thinking on the right is the path to some really, really dark places.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Looks like god damned mad max wastelands.

Until recently I didn’t realize *some* red state guys think of blue states as alien lands. Like we all drive in different strange technology cars and attend weekly flag burnings.
Really strange to think that.
Admittedly I have preconceived notions about deep red states but mine are more like I imagine breakfast places being really old and slightly broken down but functional.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

So you were a fan of the 3/5ths compromise?

No. To be fair it was a different time. People's thoughts and morals have been evolving for a couple hundred years since then. So it's good we are further along now than we were then. To judge them based on what we know now isn't really fair.

Leaving this here. Learn if you can.
