Real sick over the "lol let the red states secede" shit

The whole fucking country is rotten. Literally no one benefits from this kind of stupid team sports mindset.

A big red state seceding means the left starts auto-winning elections, which would be an objective good for society. The downside is that it would screw over the left-leaning people in those areas, so it can't ACTUALLY happen, but it's nice to fantasize.

You can call it team sports if you want, but I fundamentally can't emphasize towards right-leaning people anymore and would love a theoretical country where they just leave. They're not people I want to associate with.

DC Statehood isn't even an easy sell to Democrats, and I think the main culprit is legitimately the fact that the whole 50 States thing is an ingrained part of American culture. We'd have to change songs, we'd have to change the flag, and 50 is such a nice, round number.

Is that a valid reason for denying statehood? No, but since when has logic trumped emotions?

Church Route was funny because I had a save file right before the big choice that I intended to reload as soon as I finished. Edelgard as the antagonist was interesting, and I spent Silver Snow looking forward to learning more about her side of the story.

Then in Crimson Flowers she offers like, no justifications, and I spent that entire route going "are we the baddies?" Edelgard's writing could've used more in-depth examinations of her actions and less shipping scenes about her painting pictures of Byleth.

In fact, let's keep dogpiling on Skyward Sword because I have insomnia and this is a distraction.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/4594-best-of-2011-game-of-the-year

Gets doubled by Skyrim in the GotY poll. This is somehow by far the best Skyward Sword has ever looked.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7610-whats-your-all-time-favorite-legend-of-zelda-console-game

Score 2nd-worst out of all games in the Favorite Zelda poll. Only beats Four Swords Adventure. Loses to Zelda II.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/8691-best-of-2021-remakes-and-remasters

Its rerelease loses to Nier and Tony Hawk.

Oh, and it failed to make both Best Game Ever 2 and Game of the Decade 2. If Skyward Sword ever had a semblance of strength, it's long gone now.

If you're looking at just GameFAQs' user reception:

Twilight Princess (Gamecube) - 4.38/5
Twilight Princess (Wii) - 4.35/5
Twilight Princess (Wii U HD) - 4.38/5

Skyward Sword (Wii) - 4.22/5
Skyward Sword (Switch HD) - 4.09/5

I included the releases because I think it's telling that Twilight Princess stayed the same while Skyward Sword dropped, despite SS's rerelease supposedly adding a lot of needed quality of life improvements. In fact, let's add in some more rerelease comparisons:

Ocarina of Time (N64) - 4.59/5
Ocarina of Time (3DS) - 4.54/5

Majora's Mask (N64) - 4.42/5
Majora's Mask (3DS) - 4.44/5

Wind Waker (Gamecube) - 4.38/5
Wind Waker (Wii U HD) - 4.45/5

OoT is the only rerelease that dropped in score, and it was only by a bit (and it was never going to touch that ridiculously high original score anyway). For every 3D mainline Zelda game, when fans were given the chance to re-experience it, they came away liking it about the same - except for Skyward Sword, because without the luster of being a new Zelda release attached to it, it's just a mediocre game. SS is the answer to the old claim that Zelda fans will just vote for anything with the name attached to it, because GameFAQs thoroughly did not give a shit about it.

Other than Trump and Arnie how many Republican politicians do you think could entertainingly host The Apprentice
There are very few charismatic candidates on either side right now. Dems have Bernie, and maaaaybe AOC. GOP has Trump. That's about it. Biden is probably in the Top 5 right now and that's kind of sad. Desantis might become President or whatever but it definitely won't be because he's charismatic.

I mean no one here thinks Trump is some sort of hidden genius. His rallies consist primarily of verbal diarrhea and racism. It's garbage - which, at the same time, is extremely effective at galvanizing a certain subset of the population. And if another GOP politician had tried the same thing back in 2016, 95% chance they crash and burn.

I mean, I'm on Team "He Has No Charisma" and have stated as such from the start as well. To the extent I can see the opposing side, I'll admit maybe he is charismatic in the way a trainwreck is. Before he had power his way of speaking was just so bad it kind of looped around to almost funny, think the riffing on Bushisms but turned up to 11. Someone like Cruz couldn't pull that off, no. So if that's what charisma is I guess he has some? But that's not really what I thought of it.
That's because to you, charisma=well spoken while making a strong point in a non-aggressive manner. Basically Obama.

But just because Trump's charisma isn't FOR YOU, doesn't mean he isn't charismatic. The effect he's had on people speaks for itself.

What? My entire argument is that it's going to happen again. And again. And again. Because it's not just about Trump. If Trump is such a unique, charismatic individual, then it'd be more likely the movement would die with him. I don't think that at all. I think it continues with or without him, which is my entire point in thinking he's not as special as people seem to think he is.
Under this logic, any leader of a movement whose movement continues after they die/leave was replaceable. That's not how it works. Some people are so charismatic, so influential, that the mark they made continues after they're gone. Would you say that Martin Luther King Jr wasn't charismatic because the Civil Rights Movement continued after he died?

(If that comparison offends you, well, a lot of the right basically sees Trump as a civil rights leader of sorts)

Honestly I don't think 'agree to disagree' is valid here. You're just straight-up wrong about how Trump functions as a cult personality, and if you don't understand the how and why, you're going to be blindsided the next time it happens.

StealThisSheen posted...
I mean, that was the metric KP used in what Kenri quoted when he first asked the question, so that's what I responded to.

I would actually need to look at the numbers to see how centrist voters fell, but 'won/lost the election' is not an absolute indicator of charisma. There are more Democrats than Republicans, so realistically they should win every fair (lol) election anyway, assuming equal percentages turn out.

Maybe you view people more positively than me, but I don't think most of the people that like Trump had to be convinced on what they want to hear by him at all. He was just the first to openly be willing to say it, which, to be fair, is a form of charisma. I'm not saying he's utterly devoid of the stuff, just not special.
If someone like Ted Cruz had said the same things as Trump, it would've been 1/10 as effective. Trump somehow has the ability to make the lowest common denominator think they're just like them. Probably because he has the overconfident swagger of a manchild who doesn't know better - which yes, resonates with quite a few people in the US, white males especially. To them, Ted Cruz is always going to be a suit, no matter what he says. Trump is 'relatable'. So when Trump says what they want to hear, they actually believe that he believes what he's saying.

This is true to an extent, but I can guarantee you that there exists no Republican politician that can go against the will of their voterbase. Anyone who steps out of line is punished by the indoctrinated. That's simply how their party works, and I don't think there's a person alive charismatic enough to go against it.
Adding on to this, I'd like to point out that the early GOP absolutely tried to push Trump out of the picture. Basically every candidate hated his guts, and Fox news at the time criticized him heavily. This would have been a death knell for any other politician because of how much Republicans fall in line.

And he still won because the public couldn't get enough of him.
