I support Trump because his end of the turd doesn't smell quite as bad as the Harris end. In the unlikely event that Trump wins I'll probably end up being drafted into the concentration camp construction corp.
I'd kinda like to hear why you think Trump getting elected rather than Kamala given that Trump seems to think that crashing the economy is a good thing and also seems to want to do away with what meagre health care provisions and regulations that exist in the states.
Seems to me that (and this is an assumption on my part) health care and the economy would be the main drivers of your voting interests?

I say I kinda want to hear it because I know that the conversation would turn into a shit show of people shouting within a few posts!

And that's pretty much it.
Sure as hell I'm not going to answer 10 angry posts. Even your post starts with a couple of negative assumptions that I don't see as being accurate, and you're a pretty reasonable fellow.
P&N is an angry echo chamber, it's something to dip a toe into now and then, not a hobby.

I guess economists don’t know what they are talking about in regards to Trump’s economic policy and its consequences.

I guess we should just ignore the GOP leaders claiming they will quickly end Obama care and Trumps previous willingness to do just that with no replacement. By his own admission he doesn’t have any proposals to put forward on health care. Despite telling us for almost a decade now he has been working on it.

I generally suspect your primary motivation for voting for Trump has to do with his immigration policy if that’s true why not just own it?

I absolutely get where you are coming from here.

I think that it's pretty open that Trump (or his team) wants further deregulation of health insurance and some of his very wealthy supporters have said that his policies would crash the economy. Rich people do very well when the economy goes to shit, it's average dudes like you and me that get shafted.

It is. It's different for me I guess, I'm a bit removed from the emotional side of American politics. Like if this was a UK forum with people talking about Farage and Brexit I'd probably be a bit less sanguine! 😆

So many assumptions without any idea of what your talking about. I for the most part don't watch TV (though there are 4 of them in my house). I read, and average around a 100 books per year. So the whole fox news thing is out the window. I do own a recliner (technically 3 of them) but that's where I sit to read. Because Mrs. Greenman won't allow me to get fat and lazy, I spend a lot of time upgrading my home and yards, or building small laser cut/engraved items she wants.

I support Trump because his end of the turd doesn't smell quite as bad as the Harris end. In the unlikely event that Trump wins I'll probably end up being drafted into the concentration camp construction corp. I guess that's what happens to old deplorable garbage since jack boots aggravate my plantar plantar fasciitis.
I notice you have not responded to my guestimation as to why I think you prefer Trump over Harris. I suggested to you that you were raised in a way that complaining about your situation was verboten, that you were expected to take on personal responsibility and stand up for yourself. I think you have lots of personal pride from that success, but that there has been a price to pay for it in terms of the emotional hardness it can create.

You have followed the rules, played fair while all around you are the leaches, the cheaters, the immoral lazy, a world full of numbs preaching steel from the strivers and give it to the worthless?

So what I think, my opinion looking inwardly at my self, is that you are full anger and resentment and bitterness you were not allowed to express, and that what you see and like about Trump is that he expresses what you do not know you feel but do feel it unconsciously.

That stench you smell, in my opinion, is all that resentment you feel and will feel toward anyone who would show sympathy for what you have had to endure.

You have earned your pride and self respect but it isn’t enough to allow you to truly forgive.

The understanding I take seriously as truth is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. People take that to mean that opinions are personal, that what is beautiful to one is maybe ugly to somebody else. But that’s not what it means to me.

What it says to me is that is you see beauty, the experience of reverence produced exists nowhere else than within yourself. You are the beauty you see; it is an identity between the experienced and the experienced. But there is a corollary to it.

When the world stinks what you are experiencing, smelling, is yourself. The stench resides nowhere else but as a revulsion taking place within yourself. I tell you that because ignorance of that fact blinds you to the reality that you can transform the world easily by a shift in attitude and that voting for Trump will do nothing for your inner psychological state.

2024 and assholes still believe in angels and demons. Or as most of the MAGAs that posted from their deathbeds with covid typed - angles.

If you saw the number of people that lost their minds over Lil Nas X being satanic, I think in absolute numbers it might be higher than ever.

Damn you WB. You made me listen to this nutcase rant on about nuclear demons, how the US has targeted Christians in every military actions since WWII and how abortions cause hurricanes. The guy is literally insane.

I wasn’t kidding he is blinded by greed. He is willing to avoid the obvious answer that we are not respecting the earth as we should and going straight to things that are designed to cause disharmony among us.

Turns out when you mostly associate with dumb people, they don't know stuff about things. Fascinating development!

It's ok not to know stuff. It's the "I don't know therefore Daemons!" thing that weirds me out.
Like I don't know how a Wankel rotary engine works but I don't ask a couple of random people and when they don't know either go "must be fucking elves eh?!"

Wankels are easy to understand. Think of them working like a chain of protofarts moving through your intestines.

Well, yeah, these sort of people lack the sort of curiosity that leads you to look for answers, instead falling back on ol' reliable "IT'S THAT DAMN SATAN AGAIN!"

I saw this today randomly. I wasn't aware Biden/Harris had done so much on the border. They definitely don't talk about it a ton.

Probably because the ignorant fucks in this country (including many Democrats) are so fear-stricken about "migrants" and "the border" that maybe they figure it's better not to talk about it.

Might as well call the border "Voldemort" at this point. Whoops. "That which shall not be named". You'd think fricking Kaiju were coming across for how terrified everyone is.
