And yet - correct me if I am wrong - you oppose President Trump.

Please inform us of your solution to preserve America that does not involve re-electing Trump.

PLEASE

I don't really oppose Trump. I dearly wish he was not running because I'm pretty sure he's going to fuck this reelection up good and proper. He is utterly, systemically incapable of appealing to anybody but his base. His twitter feed is a catastrophe, has been for years. I will never vote for a democrat because they clearly hate the country.

I generally like Trump's policy but his execution is terrible, he's an awful leader in a great many ways. I wish he had stepped aside and tried to get pence to run or something. The hatred for Trump runs very, very deep in a lot of circles and it's most likely going to cost him the election.

He may still win, but even still the left hates him so much they are acting like rabid dogs s over it and that's never going to stop.

Isn't ironic that so-called "anti facists" are defacing a monument to real anti facists.

 

[tony]

All this monument defacing and destruction is just like Cambodia's Pol Pot (Khmer Rouge) killing of intellectuals, the educated, and such. Just like the Taliban destroying religious monuments. They are trying to rid the world of religion (except theirs) and start history from zero again, a reboot with "the new".

From their perspective they want 2020 to be the year ZERO with all traces of history gone.

On the other hand, none of the more palatable choices have the zeal to push back against the leftists.

He may not be the candidate we want, but he might be the one we need.

Not the hero we deserve, but the one we need right now.


And for what it's worth I'm definitely not thrilled with a lot of his mannerisms, overall character, and the fact that he really isn't that deep of a thinker. But he's so far been the only one to, as you said, get the leftists on their toes and advance most of the right things. I'll be forever grateful for him getting more conservative judges on the courts (not just Supreme but in the lower federal courts).

What has that accomplished, though? We have a couple more justices that is better than nothing, but the left has gone from crazy to fucking lunatics in the three years he's been here, and the country continues its fast descent into the abyss.

It's absolutely fun watching him troll them, but it's not in general to the betterment of the country. Better than biden will be sure, but I think we could have had better.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

- George Orwell, 1984

I just ordered a hard copy of 1984. I last read it in 1984 when it was assigned in an English class. I think I'll see it in a very different light, now. I ordered a hard copy because I'm concerned that in the future, digital copies of literature could be easily censored and "revisions and updates" could be pushed out to e-readers.

Although I like my Kindle e-reader for being able to have a huge selection of books all in one place, I expect to see works disappear from my collection, or be "edited for content" by politically correct corporations in the future.

I had my high school-aged kids read Fahrenheit 451. My daughter remarked that we seem to be living the fictional dystopia portrayed in the novel. Good for her.

Agreed. Hard copy all the way for books and movies (and probably music too... remember the outrage over "Baby it's cold outside"?).

Thanks for raising your children right.

And just how does one side decide to eliminate the other? Your lack of basic history is shocking. In every single case of a civil war there is a period of incubation . EVERY CASE. Sometimes long sometimes short . The true beginnings of the civil war didn't start at fort Sumter. There is a prephase period. The potential for a civil war is glaringly obvious to anyone who knows history. There are two sides that are diametrically opposed to each other in philosophy , and in economics . and its becoming more violent .

Your understanding is that there are ""A few hundred Antifa/ BLM in one or two cities clashing with whites and Trump Supporters""demonstrates your lack of understanding of the situation.

First off its not a few hundred. Its in the tens of thousands ,
2nd off, the clashes are with police
3rd off, one or two citys is not even close. Its in every major democratic city .
4th off It has morphed into something that has nothing to do with George Floyd anymore.

BLM has been co-opted by the socialist left. they are being used to further the agenda of the left. Anybody that has an understanding of history will tell you that the potential for a civil war is growing .

I know you hate me and disagree with every post I make, but Im trying to set you straight.

BLM/Antifa aren’t fighting a war. They are just being anarchists. They have no end mission in sight other than to terrorize. There isn’t an open season on their end with a clear mission to take out another side and establish control like in real civil wars.

This is just anarchy against the police. A I’m going to do this and you can’t stop me movement. It can be put down quickly by the police if they wanted to put an end to it by cutting power to selected areas, giving an amnesty period to disburse, and then going in there to arrest every single one of them for terrorism.

Now if Antifa/ BLM decided to expel all residents from their homes with force to systematically take over towns inch by inch, then it would be a civil war. So far they have not done that or shown any inkling of that at all. All they have done is put barricades around their own town. These are just adolescent amateurs that are allowed to terrorize due to PC.

It takes two sides of fighting for a civil war. They have not and will not take over white neighborhoods because they know they cannot.

That one could be Ree Ree Academy and Safe Space.

New York state is named after a slave trader. A very good trader in fact.




The Royal African Company (RAC) was an English mercantile (trading) company set up in 1660 by the royal Stuart family and City of London merchants to trade along the west coast of Africa. It was led by the Duke of York, who was the brother of Charles II and later took the throne as James II.

I completely disagree with most of it.
But here's the thing, Time will tell us what direction this is going. You see this is just ""anarchy against the police"" I see it as something bigger than that. Im curious to see how this plays out during the election .

Slaves, slave traders, all bullshit. As I have mentioned before, the victor of warring tribes in Africa sold the defeated tribes into slavery. Simply, africans sold other africans into slavery. Go back to Africa and start the protesting there and see how that works out for you.

In south africa the Dutch were the big landowners with farms and employed many africans, payed good wages and benefits. When apartheid ended (1990-1993) many Dutch were booted off their farms. The black south africans tried farming but were unable to run the farm efficiently enough to be profitable so many of the workers walked and were actually worse off than when apartheid was the rule.

Not a clue how it is today but I don't see it being much better

1984 is great. I read f451 a year or two ago and was underwhelmed. 1984 is a true masterwork.

I was forced to read brave new world as a kid and may again.

On the contrary. I think his prodding has exposed the leftists for who they are to a lot of Americans.

If we'd had Hillary for the last 4 years a lot of people would disagree on policy, but still think the Democrats were a legitimate political party.

Trumps needling has caused them to go completely off the rails, and i think a lot of people recognize that.

He barely won against a loathed candidate.

Contrary to conservative belief the polls were quite accurate in 2016 and the polls today are ominous.

I don’t really dislike trump. Like I said I support most of his policy and I Do admire His unapologetic patriotism. But many in the country hate him and he puts no effort into changing their mind.
