Why you worried about a GOP win? Liberals are so fucking awesome, nothing to worry about right?
Who the fuck is saying this?

Oh yeah. I forgot. Something about American dominance, the technological singularity, and the good book means the GOP is progressing so quickly that our entire society will be one big happy, accepting family within in a decade.

I actually support most of the values that you support but this idea that if we support voting rights, abortion rights, and anti discrimination laws we will prevent collapse as a nation is some of the dumbest shit I've seen posted by anyone.

China has no voting rights compared the to the US, they have millions of people from a religious/ethnic minority locked away in concentration camps, and they discriminate against anyone and everyone that deviates from normal and they are about to be the top economic, military and political power on the planet.

There isn't some magic rule that says that anti-racist pro democracy nice powers will e the most powerful successful countries we support them because they are morally right.
At least we wouldn't be an oppressive shithole like China, Russia, or Saudi Arabia.

They still have to get people to actually vote for their regressions though, which basically is not something that happens. Even repub voters tend to not want to roll shit like gay marriage back

No they dont. Just look at Georgia or Texas.

My dude you have to willingly live under a rock to truly not know the difference. Youre supposed to be smart, so are you just resorting to this kind of shitposting because it feels good or something?

one of them chooses everything in the pic and can leave it at any time and live alone and travel and have multiple partners and drive alone to movies and parties and wherever they want

the other one cannot because of theocracy

pretty shameful to see someone otherwise smart paying lip service to idiotic comparisons as if theyre some gotcha or something

Dude gop will never will win again. All the boomers that are going to die for being antivax. Hopefully greens will have more of a say once gop collapses. A new Latino party should be introduced so dems can be kept on their toes. Gop will prolly be like 30% of the vote next election and will keep dropping every election before slumping into irrelevance.

there are leftist tankie CEmen who were just the other day saying we should suspend rights and have the national guard vax everyone, i have proof.

the left has a problem with these types of people in the ranks:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Guards

i literally never see you talk about tankies ever. They are the actual fascists and they have millions of religious minorities in camps right now

are there alt rightists who are nazis? Def. do they have the power? Show me where those camps are TC. (Hint: google Xinjiang)

those are the camps Stalins useful idiotswould end up. we all need to rally behind the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and being 100% pro-America.

all youre doing is dividing the board and trying to put a wedge in between people.

challenge the right on maintaining the Constitution and the Bill of Rights for all, thats literally all the left needs to say to win. Go all-in on those things and actually advocate for them and youll win. Instead you have the left allowing the tankies in its ranks to sow corrosive negativity on even the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and the American experiment in general, and then you post this kind of topic that does nothing but cause more of the same.

meanwhile Chinas ramping up its military capabilities and relying on programmed drones abroad to spew propaganda that stunts our own capabilities and our own understanding of the story of this nation. Just generally demoralizing stuff that rallies nobody to any common cause and just causes people to lose interest or hope in America.

Are you blind? It does matter. Democrats at least are not outright trying to stop people from voting, working with racists, taking all the power for themselves. They are at least at the bare minimum trying to do somewhat decent stuff.

This, I used to considered both equal but after trump took over and turned republicans into trumplicans, I can't stand any if the shit they are doing and probably will switch from being an independent to democrat.

Don't know if you need to get your fucking eyes and ears checked but have you seen what the mainstream GOP narrative has become these last few months?

When I share some july 4th BBQ with my conservative family in a few days I fully expect to hear some shit like "time to arrest and execute all democrats" or "time for civil war if trump isn't declared president by August". Thats what your average republican wants and they aren't joking around.

Jesus, dude. Fine. Every problem in the world is the fault of communism and we're all extremely sorry for not getting along with all our fellow Americans. Republican politicians are just Chinese and Russian plants inserted to harm the American experiment. There is no far-right because those are all just Far-Left tankies pretending to be far-right.

Never-mind that one.

Check out what Steve Bannon said in the days following the election when it started becoming apparent that Trump was going to lose to Biden.

As you know he was a former advisor to Trump and currently has a massively popular conservative podcast.

Well... he literally called for the execution of Dr. Fauci and FBI director Wray.

Not some vague threat of civil war or saying "we need to fight!". He specifically called for the murder of Fauci and the FBI director and right now he is one of the most popular conservative podcast hosts in America.

Pretty much. You can find some pretty deranged hardcore lefties that outright support North Korea on the fringes of the internet. Their rightwing equivalence aren't anonymous fringe internet weirdos, they are in the house of representatives and speak on conservative cable news outlets or host podcasts with millions of listeners.

they do have a presence in american politics. you just won't see them being mentioned by a prominent politician. that isn't how they do things. they just suppress the "wrong" media (arrests in Hong Kong, everywhere if they could) and they coerce mainstream media with money (like how CNN the other day praised Xi and the CCP's 100 year anniversary and mentioned nothing about Uyghurs, the Blizzard debacle, the Lebron James debacle, etc)

https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/30/china/ccp-100-china-beijing-xi-mic-intl-hnk/index.html

https://www.wsj.com/articles/lebron-james-says-tweet-supporting-hong-kong-protests-was-misinformed-11571107697

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzchung_controversy

they influence public opinion and try to get people voting in a way that sabotages our ability to stand up to them (pay attention to which kind of leftist is so adamant about gutting our military budget) and they emphasize propaganda that exists to divide us

like this, Russia does it too:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/russian-backed-facebook-accounts-organized-events-on-all-sides-of-polarizing-issues-1509355801

they basically are playing the long-game of shifting the Overton window and demoralizing the states into apathy/passiveness. it's dangerous to ignore the risks. keep in mind the Jan 6th insurrection was looking for AOC, Pelosi AND Pence. average Republicans love Pence and would've considered that an act of war by the "Democrats"

it's all the same group of people playing as both sides to cause maximum confusion so they can try to sneak in real damage. you'll never hear some major politician openly fronting tankie causes. that's not their style. that would be too obvious.

Been thinking more since dinner. There's a more optimistic angle to all of this - generally, it's that nobody actually cares about war or intends for there to be war. At the end of the day people mostly just want shopping malls and movie theaters and restaurants and businesses.

So much bullshit news exists to generate ad-revenue and clickbait garbage and war-mongering as a way to justify infrastructure spending >_>

No one on any side actually cares about real war lol. It's all just a smokescreen to justify more tax revenue for spending on what is basically a giant jobs program. The war machine employs so many people that it's basically just a jobs program. Everyone knows any real war would end humanity, and nobody wants that because people just want more movies and more products and more luxury.

So at this point, seems like...might as well just be a global type of citizen? Be able to move around, invest everywhere, grow businesses that can scale to global demand, etc. Have skills that are useful to everyone and let them all compete to be the biggest bidder for your time.

If there was going to be war over Taiwain, it would have happened by now. It's possible that this entire situation with China is overblown for the ad revenue. Same as with the Trump coverage.

No way in hell would any modern government risk introducing too much friction into global politics by clamoring for real war. Any such friction, esp with climate change affecting literally everyone, would just cause a collapse that takes their own power away too.

Probably climate change is the only real thing we have to worry about at this point. If there was a legitimate risk of a collapse because of the GOP, the insurrection would've been hundreds of thousands of people with firearms. Nobody actually cares. People just want to spend money and enjoy their lives.

Probably CNN is just noticing an emerging market in China and wants to position itself to have more of an international brand or something. Same with how Elon Musk is doing business there.

https://www.scmp.com/business/companies/article/3139472/tesla-boss-elon-musk-praises-chinas-amazing-prosperity

he literally said people should visit and check it out, so honestly that's what I'm gonna do.

@Balrog0

Because of the risks of nuclear holocaust if there were to ever be real war, what does that suggest to you about the war machine and ad-revenue in media? Everyone in power knows that real war or any real collapse anywhere is counter-productive to their own goals of having taxpayers.

So since you have a lot of politics experience, I'm curious what you think this means. Does it mean that post #98 is right? And that all the geopolitical stuff in the news is BS to justify more war-spending which is actually just infrastructure & energy spending?

Do you think anyone actually gives a damn about Taiwan? Do you ever expect any real conflict, or is it just another Cold War since cold wars are easy and profitable and nobody needs to get hurt? Maybe it'll just turn into a new space race, this time a rush to Mars and beyond?
