He sounds more mentally ill than stupid. Imagine the world he thinks he lives in, it’s a terrifying place.

Sadly this is the case. Unless he is trolling he is part of what seems to be a brainwashed cult on the right that appears to be growing at an alarming rate.

Yep. Mainstream Evangelical Christianity is now a cult.
When is the beheadings of Christians in the streets scheduled to begin under this administration? Was that one of the platform items I missed?

    • Elimination of coal and steel
      • lose the ability to manufacture tanks and warships.

    • Paying off Student Debt
      • While continuing to give students full access to 4 year degrees which do not contribute to being employable - Liberal Arts/General Education/Philosophy/Sociology/ Basket Weaving

    • Continual immigration renewal without ever having to undergo the full naturalization process
  • International Politics and Globalization

I think you missed a lot, reality being the main thing you’ve decided to ignore.

Sure, if you consider not flipping the senate, losing ground in house seats, and losing several state house and senate majorities without gaining any... a win? ... The blue wave that flopped?
The margin of Biden’s victory basically amounts to a trivial pursuit question. Democrats didn’t achieve the rebuke of Trump they expected, but it was Trump’s election to lose, and he exceeded expectations. The political coalition realignments will make for an interesting few years.

Evangelical Christianity has never not been a cult--you have to understand that, right?

They are probably the most dangerous humans on the planet right now and have been and remain the primary, and really only source of American-born terrorism. They are a violent, bigoted, murder cult. That they chose an Orange atheist conman as their most recent golden idol should tell you all you need to know about their "mainstream value."

If you don't accept the plain, indisputable truth of that, then you are the fucking problem.

Seriously, join the rest of humanity, ffs.

He is not trolling. This is at least 50% of the Trump voting people in this country. They are unreachable and they are, in fact, deplorables.

What's wrong with being a hairdresser?

I never said anything is wrong with being a hair dresser. but a pure services economy where we produce nothing is not sustainable. A sustainainable economy needs to be 60% manufacturing, 40% services or all the capital will be consumed/sent outside the borders after a certain amount of time.

Put simply we need domestic manufacturing industry (both clean and dirty) to make our commercial and residential activities sustainable. if you have no physical things to sell, you eventually have nothing.

The plain truth is Evangelical Christianity was what founded this nation, and all its guiding principals. It is the one true way and everything else by definition is the cult.

The word deplorable is simply way too polite a term to affix to you. Take your fucking garbage oppression religion and shove it right up your lily white ass.

He’s not talking about your religion, he’s talking about the cultish world view you just exposed in your idea of what constitutes the democratic agenda.

Do you have any idea how insane you sound?

Negative, the country was founded on the principles of freedom of and freedom from religion. That the country happened to be around 72% christian at the time is irrelevant to what the guys that actually wrote the constitution meant.

I agree, but unfortunately that is what a lot of people have been convinced by Fox News and Trumps rantings to believe.

And in church. Preachers make good money convincing their flocks that 1) they are the special people and 2) they are being persecuted.

In case anyone is wondering the highest manufacturing has been as a percentage of GDP in the postwar era was about 30%. So, half of what Sao thinks is sustainable.

America has done pretty well for never having a sustainable economy!

Careful. Someone might actually take you at face value.
I'm not too worried because you seem to be the only one who paid any attention. I did, however, make some theoretical cognitive leaps leaving out the information I have that led me to make them. I will see if I can provide some of that in a new thread I am about to create.

They won a majority in all those cases, just a smaller majority than in 2018. They also won the presidency by a historically large margin over an incumbent.

Like I said the system is rigged against them but the idea that Democrats are not appealing to voters is obviously wrong as shown by the, well, votes.
I think that repubs were more sick of trump than anything else. They voted him out not the democrats.

The Liberal media did an impressive job the last 4 years of nonstop negative campaign against Trump.People were tired of hearing about Trump and decided that it was better to have Harris as President than another 4 years of negative Trump stories and mostly peaceful riots. That's why the Blue Wave 2020 pooped itself bigly.
