Prepping for post-election fallout?

[[DHT]Osiris]

Andrew Yang has said two things in recent days that resonated strongly. One is the patronizing tendencies of Democrats. The other was that he empathized with why people voted for Trump, which Democrats should acknowledge.

So are you trying to say that we cannot say 'Because they were fucking retarded' anymore?

If so, let this be my moment to be an obstructive, contrarian American.

He's been talking most recently about that vision & leadership thing you've been moaning about. Getting people to follow you is what leadership is all about, isn't it?

Andrew Yang said the smartest thing about Biden at the DNC

"The magic of Joe Biden is that everything he does becomes the new reasonable."

Yes it is. You’ll notice I haven’t criticized Biden as I did Hillary. He is rising to the moment. Sure there are things I don’t like about him, but he is surprisingly and undeniably leading his party forward, and it is good to see voices like Yang, which I admire, as part of the chorus.

No, I am simply agreeing with Yang. Say whatever you want. Don’t cry when those voters you patronize strike back with their vote.

Patronize us more.

 

[Starbuck1975]

Patronize us more.

Why do you think Andrew Yang said what he did? I am simply agreeing with his sentiment.

In your own special patronizing way.

You do realize that when people agree with those who disagree with you, it's not 'the peanut gallery' (hint, that's super patronizing), you're just in the minority opinion.

The vast, vast minority opinion in most cases.

It doesn’t bother me to be in the minority opinion.

Passive aggressive ad hominems are not statements of opinion, it is playing to the peanut gallery, and those who like such posts are simply members of it.

At least when you disagree with me, you take the time to offer reasoning as to why.

You deceptively edited a news article to remove content that disproved your argument.

That concept is as old as cherry picking the bible to better align with your biases*.

* biasis - politically correct term for hate, bigotry, misogynism, ignorance, and other character flaws.

My comment was essentially alluding to that poll, so: 94% display of responsible intelligence vs 45% and somehow that makes my comment "absurd."


Jesus fucking christ.

Right!

Funny, not a single person from the so-called "peanut gallery" remarked on that particular post...or liked it...or laughed, etc. Diversionary tactics are so boring and obvious.

You try to fall back on sarcasm because you have nothing better to offer, and yet you have to put words in people's mouths to even do that...

Pathetic.

Starbuck is a conservative by nature. He leans on behavioral control methods to try and shame or embarrass others in order to make himself feel worth. He's shown multiple times to use logical fallacies that he himself derides, changes meanings of words on a whim, and struts around like his shit don't stink. Conservative all the way, doubt he even realizes this is what he's doing, as self awareness/reflection doesn't seem to be his cup of tea. I wouldn't worry about what he has to say too much.

Yep, you still have nothing worthwhile to add.

You know the concept of a peanut gallery perfectly expresses and encompasses your concept of society and politics... how to the hell can I feel superior without inferior people to look down on. Am I right?
If only you had a mirror. You’d probably fail that test too....

Jfc only read your post after my own above... about the same message

Neither do you, cheers

I'm not strutting around acting like some kind of authority on current politics while lying or ignoring facts to make any kind of point.
I actually put you on ignore a long time ago but you keep shitting up threads, and other replies to you pique my morbid curiosity of what ridiculousness you're spouting.
Carry on. I know you will.

 

[brandonbull]

What are your preparation plans for the reaction by the right wingnuts and trump syncopates post election.

What do you expect their reaction will be, and how riled up will trump make them. It would not surprise me if he advocated civil disobedience (at best) to burning down election boards (at worst). We know that he will become totally unhinged (more than he is now?). How unhinged will the trump syncopates become. Riots, looting, which will likely make it prudent to not venture out unnecessary. Vandalism of any thing with a Biden sign or bumper sticker.

I fear it is going to be ugly, and unlike anything this country has seen in its history, exceed the race riots and anti-war protests/riots of the 60's.

Are scared of people celebrating another 4 years of Trump? Don't worry. The last time he can run for President. The better question to you is your thoughts on Harris being President. If Biden wins, there is zero chance he finishes half his term. He will most likely resign early.

IF Trump loses...and there is no doubt this is his election to lose, Biden won't win it:

I think a lot right-wingers will be back in a spot they enjoy, in a painful way--that of being oppressed by a Democrat. Gun sales went way up under Obama, the NRA was riding high. I imagine Fox and talk-radio do just fine when there is a Democrat in the office, as all the righties tune in to get their daily fear-driven teeth-gnashing.

I think Christians will be full of righteous anger because this is the time to take over the Supreme Court for decades. The ultimate goal of course being to outlaw abortion. My entire extended family is largely a one-issue voting block, this being it, although they also greatly fear illegals and antifa and gays and BLM too, and 100% support the police in all they do.

There will be angry militia types doing stuff, but they do that already.

I don't know anyone personally that supports Trump that I'd give more than the time of day to at this point, so I could give two shits how mad they might get. They are mad all the time anyway. They have their reality with their own facts, and I have mine, and we both think it's the only one. Ain't gonna change!
