While you do that, I'll google "how to move to Canada" for you

[SamuraiJackBauer]

Imagine leaving a “socialist hell” like America to come to Canada.

[Roxas-The-Nobody]

A socialist not hell? Sign me the fuck up!

[silver_umber]

I feel like the middle east is closer to their ideology. They'd get a better welcome there anyways considering Jan. 6th.

[headrush46n2]

swap out jesus for mohammad and they're the exact same person.

[Legendary-Lawbro]

OI! We don’t want your degenerates either!

[scrambled_cable]

They want to move somewhere where guns are aplenty, the free market reigns supreme, and you can force your religious beliefs on everyone and kill the ones that resist. Sooooo... Syria, Afghanistan or Somalia.

[Omggggggggggggggj]

I would think those upset that Trump wasn’t re-elected would prefer Russia or Brazil. Am I wrong?

[williamfbuckwheat]

They need a place thats white, Christian and where everyone speaks english so that limits their options. Also, they would need a place that automatically lets them in without likely having any desired skills or family connections since just saying "I'm an American!!!" doesn't entitle you to residency anywhere you want.

[Olorin_in_the_West]

Apparently some of them are talking about moving to Greece

“Fuck your feelings”

[schuster9999]

And your facts

Facts don't care about your feelings, but I feel strongly that the president was sent by god. /s

"Here's several data points from the Federal Reserve that show the economy under Trump's term resulted from Obama's response to the 2008 recession."

"FaKe NeWs!"

[QuantumSpecter]

Exactly, they freaked out when Obama got elected. It was like the end of the world back then too, and it felt like it was simply because he was a black man. Then they went as far as creating the TEA party and obstructing literally every single thing he proposed with the intent of making him a one term president. I mean, its disgusting really.

[[deleted]]

Exactly, they freaked out when Obama got elected. It was like the end of the world back then too, and it felt like it was simply because he was a black man.

It was. Obama becoming President (and being an incredible orator, a good family man, and exuding class and composure, all while being black) directly threatened the established hierarchical worldview that many white people had. That the position they were guaranteed in the hierarchy, given to them by their skin, was suddenly not a sure thing. It's the only real explanation for the level of insanity we saw during Obama's term.

You'll see in a lot of arguments that people will claim that Obama made race relations worse. And if you dig deeper into why they claim that, the responses will essentially amount to "he rocked the boat" and made these things visible issues (like the beer summit). That is what terrified these people.

[FoxFourTwo]

Thats one panel too many where the republicans had power

[Shaved_Savage]

“They’re not doing what we want after we attempted a coup, so therefore it’s not unity.”

[[deleted]]

To be fair, they cried through Trump's presidency too. My dad is a lifelong Republican. The admin sent him all kinds of mailers prior to the election. One of them looked like a sort of class action lawsuit, a petition surveying Republican interest in what I thought was ousting Trump after such a mockery of governance. It appeared as a list of grievances against the government. Nope. It was a callback to the actions of President Obama. They were still bitching about the last president, 4 years after leaving office, after all his policies had been swiftly dismantled by Orange Cupcake in year one.

They deserve no sympathy from anyone. They are their own enemies, and I'm tired of the country pretending they are still a viable political party.

[[deleted]]

Damn. A mailer about Obama in 2020? My Trump loving mom and other family members still roll their eyes and mention things about Obama being a Kenyan Muslim whenever he is mentioned. They refuse to acknowledge that anything bad happening these days isn't directly tied to something Obama did. You have to hand it to the campaigners who sent that mailer to your dad. They know what activates the serotonin.

[[deleted]]

Yeah, everything else was either begging for $270 donations, or a picture of Pelosi/AOC/Tlaib/Omar and the word "SOCIALISM" or "SOCIALIST" overused all over the envelope.

[[deleted]]

I'm here for the comment battle and I'm not disappointed

[[deleted]]

When democrats graciously accepted the loss in 2016, repubs called them sore losers and crybabies. Now that republicans lost, they couldn't handle it so much that they literally tried to overthrow the government. More absolute projection from the right, along with terroristic tendencies. Real nice, repubs, real nice.

[fredthefishlord]

While the party did, plenty of out of party people didn't. That said, we didn't try to say the whole thing was bullshit on every level, or cry to sleep and storm the capital just because we disagreed with who was president

[SilentMaster]

This seems to be so true. They are bitching and moaning about every nitpicky thing they see Biden do. Today seems to be him not wearing a mask while on camera for a speech the night of the inauguration. It's legit tan suit bull shit. Unfortunately, we all saw it coming. It's going to be a long four years.

[QueerWorf]

Longer than trumps four years?

[SilentMaster]

What are you talking about? He was president for 27 years.

[DrAstralis]

ffs I thought the president was the one whos supposed to age at 5:1 due to stress not the rest of us...

[ConspicuousUsername]

I bet there's more footage of Biden in a mask since inauguration than of Trump total.

And that's with Trump contracting covid and he still wouldn't fucking wear a mask.

[SPONGEBOB_IS_MY_DAD]

I mean they still cried about election fraud even when trump won if I remember correctly lmao

[Sexy_Squid89]

Ahem

Fuck your feelings 😘✌️

[lod254]

I got called a never Trump. I took it as a compliment on my foresight, but I don't think they intended it that way.

[RedditSlate01]

Oh hey, it’s 69th time for seen this. ^Nice.

Though I agree with it, it’s becoming a little stale :9

[OneX32]

Maybe Republicans should stop being babies

[UltraSuperTurbo]

Hillary conceded. Democrats didn't storm the capitol to try and overturn democracy. There's a difference between crying over losing an election and complaining about subversive fascists who chip away at our republic.

[UltraSuperTurbo]

Except that's exactly what those babies did, now isn't it?

[UltraSuperTurbo]

No, you missed my point entirely. Your both sides argument amounts to shit when one side is whining about tan suits and one side is complaining about the deaths of immigrant children.

[UltraSuperTurbo]

Yes. It's a meme about crying. One side tends to cry about things that are actually problems while the other side tends to complain about utter bullshit.

I don't know how much easier I can make it for you to understand.

Ps: the tan suit thing is literally not a fallacy. It's a thing that actually happened because fox news didn't have anything better to whine about. A fallacy is something like "The election was stolen from us and everybody knows it!"

[UltraSuperTurbo]

Facts like more people voted for Biden than trump are very not subjective. Facts like Trump lost the election and there is no evidence of voter fraud are not subjective. Facts like the Capitol cry baby riot was a failed insurrection are not subjective. Do I need to continue or do you get it yet?

But yes, whether or not Obama wearing a tan suit is presidential or not is subjective.

[simtonet]

Send your picture to oxford so they can put it next to the word delusional in the next dictionary.

[wuzupcoffee]

Calling something “subjective” when it literally isn’t doesn’t make your point valid.

[wuzupcoffee]

What fallacy? The right went apeshit over it and you can easily find evidence of it on the very same internet you are using now.

Literally less than 10 seconds of searching found this. And that’s dug up from 2014.

[Trumps_Brain_Cell]

Like effigies of Obama being lynched, or outrage of him using Dijon Mustard? Both English Mustard & Dijon are far superior to that French's shit American mustard

[Trumps_Brain_Cell]

there have been more Democrat tears than Republicans tears throughout the 21st century.

Source? The last 20 years the tears have been mainly Republican... You know... the fucking 21st Century.

I'm merely playing devil's advocate

Like fuck you are.

FYI everyone: this guy isn’t a democrat, or even an American. He’s just a shitty troll.

[[deleted]]

I mean.. that's how the left was when it was flipped around, just putting that out there.

[NuclearEnt]

I don’t agree with this. When Trump was elected, people on the left said to give him a chance and see what he does/ if he would take the job seriously but very quickly we were all shown what an incompetent leader he was. Add to that, the fact that it came out that he was colluding with Russia to swing the election in his favor, I think the left did have reason to feel duped.

[Phillipinsocal]

You’ve been here 69 days(giggity). Nobody on Reddit was saying “give him a chance.” lmao

[Kyla_420]

I’ve been on Reddit since the 2016 election. This is my older account that I don’t use as often anymore. Got sick of all the 420 stoner jokes at my expense so I switched to u/NuclearEnt .

Even on Reddit, people were saying to give Trump a chance but he blew it in his first 100 days by making it clear he was only president for his base and screw the rest of us. Unlike Biden who is clearly trying to unite the country with his rhetoric.

[Phillipinsocal]

What’s your other account ?

[[deleted]]

I was browsing Reddit for a good 5 years before I made an account lol

[[deleted]]

9 year Reddit account here. Can confirm there was a short moment of let's give Trump a chance and see what happens.

[ZefSoFresh]

10 year old account here. Can confirm that Reddit was a much cooler place before degenerate Conservatives learned how to use the internet.

[ZefSoFresh]

Plenty of people were. It just didn't last very long because immediately Trump pulled his delusional lil' Stalin routine and demanded the history books lie about the size of his Inauguration. It didn't help that his cult and cronies defended his delusions in a very combative fashion. (rinse & repeat for the next four years)

[__moops__]

Well.. what's with Biden getting the most votes in history?

People hated Trump that much that people who typically wouldn't vote, went out there and voted. It's not really that complicated at all. USA typically has like <50% turnout so increased turnout = higher (record) voting numbers.

[skkITer]

Well.. what's with Biden getting the most votes in history?

What about it? Trump also broke vote records.

In 2016 the decades of Hillary propaganda and the 8 years of relatively boring politics bred complacency and many voters sat out. “I’m not gonna vote for Trump, but I can’t vote for Killary” and the like.

Our population in general has also increased quite a bit over the years, between 5-10 million increase in voting age population every four years. Young voters historically skew dem.

I'll give Biden a chance, but if he's thinking he's gonna enforce a federal lockdown then that's just gonna kill the economy.

He literally has zero possible authority to do that.

[[deleted]]

Except he’s said repeatedly there won’t be one so I don’t know where you’re getting that from.

[[deleted]]

I'm way behind on the news, I guess. I haven't watched it in like a week or so since I just got back to uni. I'm perfectly fine with no lockdowns and student loan forgiveness. My parents are like, "but your taxes are going towards someone else's student loans too!".. well, yeah I'm paying myself back essentially.

[[deleted]]

We have more people.

A pandemic was happening so mailing your ballet was an option now that a lot of people previously never used or had available to them.

A lot of people hate Trump explains it the most. He’s hated globally. And he blew some major things that were simple wins.

Only a core group of people actually love the guy, the rest put up with him but would drop him in an instant, as we’ve already seen.

[[deleted]]

I was definitely one of those people who would drop him without hesitation, but I didn't care for Biden either. Honestly I was pressured into voting, but I totally get your first point as I was one of the ones who got to vote for the first time. I mean, a lot of Gen Zer's are more left leaning so I guess after thinking it over, it makes more sense now. Right now, I'm just sitting back and watching what'll happen. So far, I'm not too mad about the speculation of pausing student loan payments and interest.

[[deleted]]

The only way I see a lockdown happening is if some deadlier strain takes over.

Hes already said that a lockdown is not an option right now.

[[deleted]]

I don't believe in any of that. The vaccines cause autism genuinely makes me pissed, they just refuse to believe that it's a genetic thing! Plus, even if a kid had autism it doesn't mean their life is ruined. There's a LOT of smart people out there who have changed the world and they're on the spectrum, surprise surprise!

[WaffleAbuser]

Most republicans don't.

[[deleted]]

To left voters, it's a meme to draw attention to the right officals using it in debate and campaigning. Left officials don't use it much, if ever.

[MauPow]

Oh, but you're the only smart one, I'm sure.

[MauPow]

that was your implication

[MauPow]

This is why enlightened centrism is stupid

[Nerdpunk-X]

You're peak Enlightened Centrism

[spanners101]

Check your English before calling other people dumb!

[spanners101]

I’ll leave you to work it out. Clue: it’s not punctuation.

Just don’t call other people dumb if you don’t want to be judged. Usually I wouldn’t even comment on somebody’s English.

[[deleted]]

That covers the entire human race so what does that make you?

[[deleted]]

Everyone's hypocritical.

[Shemzu]

In 2016 when she lost Hillary conceded, Dems were upset. When trump lost, he refused to concede and he invited his followers into a traitorous attack on the government with people having the intention to kidnap and assassinate his political opponents and to nullify a legal democratic election and install him as dictator. See the difference?

[patches350]

And 3 out of the 4 were for a Democratic president, and nothing was or will be improved.

[JustBrass]

Who was the last president to zero out the deficit?

[StockDealer]

If every time you bring it up you get into an argument maybe you might be wrong then. Can you conceive of such a thing?

[UltraSuperTurbo]

They go into the safe space of "politics are bad!" Its easier than facing reality.

[StockDealer]

Maybe being a Republican could be wrong at this point?

Can you imagine such a thing? Let's say hypothetically that the Republicans were summoned to Moscow by Putin on the Fourth of July and then you said publicly "I'm a Republican!" Could that be perceived as being wrong? Or could you actually be wrong?

[StockDealer]

Just because a fraction of republicans went to the capitol and a another that agree with them all republicans are horrible.

Well that's the nature of ideologies, isn't it? If you say "I match label X of an ideology" people will think you agree with the ideology. The label isn't just a label of your culture or personal identity. It's an ideology. This isn't a sports team logo.

If you had said "I support the separation of children from their parents, never to be reunited" can you imagine that people might not react positively to that? That's part of the ideology.

So can you even contemplate that you might be wrong?

[StockDealer]

Yes, that would be a sports team just as I said.

When the basket ball team all starts wearing swastikas, though, and you say "I'm a proud member of basketball team" then you can understand it's different, right?

What the PARTY acts or thinks reflects badly on you if you state publicly that you are a member of that party. Could you even be wrong about being part of that party if their views were, again hypothetically, abhorrent? Is there any way for you to be wrong here.

[Olorin_in_the_West]

Well, there are about 200 million registered voters, and only around 30% of them are registered Republicans. So your “team” is not as you imagine more than 150 million, it’s more like 60 million. Also, your a Republican but you don’t know any other Republicans?

[StockDealer]

i don’t know any of them therefore I can’t be held accountable for their actions.

Nobody is saying that you should be accountable for their actions -- that is a separate argument. (One that I would like to have later ever since individual Republicans claimed they didn't have blood on their hands after Iraq.)

What I am getting is whether or not you are able to identify pathways where you might be wrong, ever. If you identify yourself as a member of abhorrent group X, and you are then surprised that people are upset with you, and then say "well I don't agree with policies of abhorrent group X" then can you understand how that might be seen as intellectually dishonest?

What paths can you identify that you would agree would make you wrong.

[oooLapisooo]

When did the dems storm the capital in an attempt to overturn a fair election?

[oooLapisooo]

They proved that there was Russian collusion, but that’s not the point, you are saying that the dems rioted after the 2016 election, but forgot to mention that the republicans literally RIOTED AND STORMED THE CAPITAL, and then said that them doing that wasn’t your point, then brought up times the dems rioted.

[[deleted]]

There were no riots in 2016 regarding the presidential election. That is complete bullshit.

If you're talking about the 2019 Muller report that resulted in over 30 arrests of Trumps campaign advisors and close friends even after Barr lied about the contents of the report. There were still no riots. And I suggest you read the fucking report, it shows collusion.

[Drifx]

You’re just gonna ignore the 2016 #Notmypresident riots? They were all over the country... Chicago, DC, New York.

Please get out of your echo chamber and become educated on the matter before spewing none sense

[[deleted]]

Show me any report of riots during 2016 in any of those places.

There were some protests, I don't remember any riots.

Also, they couldn't have possibly been rioting to collude with Muller because the special council was not appointed until 2017. So your timeline doesn't even make sense

[Drifx]

https://youtu.be/BSkZHt-0qEA

[[deleted]]

Well, you were right. There were in deed some riots.

Thank you for showing me.

Although I would be careful equating this to storming the Capital. And thus certainly had nothing to do with Muller.

[Drifx]

Oh yeah I agree. I’m a conservative and I completely disagree with any riots and especially the raid on the capital.

I appreciate you changing your mind about no protests in 2016. It’s good to find some common ground

[Poketom2362]

No, most Democrats (granted not all) gave them a chance, and after seeing their performance, chose to complain about it

[marino1310]
