Maybe they should try to be a better human while here on earth?
Yes, I've seen what that means. It's code to mean Christians should discard their values and allow depravity to run unchecked.
Yeah. Nothing standing between the world and depravity but some mealy-mouth preachers riding their tax-free gravy train :jack:

Complaints about the nature of Trump are just proxies for objections to the nature of his base. It doesn’t help stabilize our already twitchy situation that those who bleat the loudest about democracy are also audibly and visibly determined to deny a real choice to half the country. “No matter how you vote, you will not get X”—whether X is a candidate or a policy—is guaranteed to increase discontent with the present regime.

People I have known for 30 years, many of whom still claim the label “conservative,” will no longer speak to me—because I supported Trump, yes, but also because I disagree on trade, war, and the border. They call not just my positions, but me personally, unadulterated evil. I am not an isolated case. There are, as they say, “many such cases.” How are we supposed to have “democracy” when the policies and candidates my side wants and votes for are anathema and can’t be allowed? How are we supposed to live together with the constant demonization from one side against the other blaring 24/7 from the ruling class’s every propaganda organ? Why would we want to?
This is a two-way street. Go over to the AGS Political Forum and see the same sort of hate and intolerance from conservatives toward liberals. The ironic (i.e. hypocritical) part is that they spew it all while complaining about liberal hate and intolerance.

First off, AGS is for pussies. The real deep thinkers are over here. Secondly, regardless of whether it is happening on both sides, the "establishment" does NOT want their representatives actually representing the people.

This is not a big conspiracy. Our elected officials represent their donors and that rarely represents the people. It's usually very incremental, but never for the people.

I don't disagree with any of that. I would add that trump doesn't represent the people either. He only cares about and represents trump. Stay on the trail of skepticism and eventually, you might enlightenment and realize that as well. :coffee:

trump's goal is more money and power for trump. I don't see how that aligns with the people. He frightens the establishment because he wants to take what they have for himself not the people.

You keep saying this, but NEVER give a means to how he will accomplish this. If you think charging standard rate for rooms is how he'll do it, you are wrong. StOnge level wrong.

How about the lowest wage earners pay growing faster than in many years? They sure liked Trump. Your tribalism is hilarious.

When it comes to trump, Ukraine, etc. maybe your name should be a derivative of Reek.

Which Trump policies increased pay for low end wage earners? Were there any other factors?

Tribalism would be if I thought the Democratic establishment cared about low end workers much. They don’t.

Good grief, you can't be serious. :facepalm:

We need to have a relegation policy similar to Premier League soccer where when you come up with stupid shit like you keep doing you get relegated to AGS for a season to work on your 'tard.

He does it by pay-to-play, Reek. The Saudis gave his son-in-law 2.5billion just because... China gave his daughter all kinds of most-favored status trading privileges....you can listen to the phone call of him shaking down Zelensky....wtf....?

It’s entertaining to see who’s supporting Trump and calling it a weaponized witch hunt and who’s relatively quiet right now. Not a bad place to start your vying for POTUS and VP boards.

I'll be honest, when you had said "setting up grift" for Trump, I had taken that to mean he was setting up a system that would continually bring in cash, like the Clinton Foundation. That's why I kept asking.

I find it interesting that both have children married to men that have fathers sent to jail over fraud.

Seems the wealthy don't care about crime as long as it keeps the money in the family.
