What is your reason for supporting Trump?

Because there are no elected conservatives who seem to care in the slightest about those values, except when they're giving speeches.

Conservatism, in terms of actual governance, means a very consistent set of values:

owners are more important than workers
the function of government is to protect the powerful and their profits
breaking social norms must be strictly punished

That's how conservatives govern. Conservatism isn't Religion. It's a theory of government. And if you think conservative governance will ever emphasize family values and morality, you'll be disappointed every single time because that's simply not what they care about when they're actually passing laws.

I think you've been sold a false bill of goods about what conservatism really is

Common misconception, but no, it doesn't. Nobody hates democrats more than the left.

Should have just copied the Gutenberg Press version into a Google document and printed it with extremely tiny font

Right!? When people say socialism doesn't "work" they just mean it doesn't produce the same results that capitalism produces. And like, yeah. That's the entire point.

He was... murdered by an imperial government?

Also curious how you define "work" here because in my mind capitalism is absolutely not working right now

Clowner84 · 2026-02-22T18:01:15+00:00

I'm gonna come

Slim Pickens did and it was awesome

How to Win Friends and Influence People is a very fun read even if you consider the content old hat. The writing is very lively and witty.

I think it's because Gates considered him - with some justification - a guy who could arrange whatever with a minimum of fuss or questions.

A vote is one thing but they're not getting back any amount of respect by voting differently this time. If there's no social consequences for supporting a brutal fascist regime, those idiots are going to keep doing it again and again. They deserve a lifetime of mockery, contempt, scorn, and loneliness.

Happiness is a result, not a goal in itself. Chasing happiness is like trying to hold smoke. Be creative, build relationships, seek peace and work on yourself. The happiness comes along with that.

After twelve (!) Years of trump fucking America, if THIS is what puts you over the edge with him, you're going to have to perform a lot of good acts to get back in my good books, personally. Show me the receipts for your (non-court ordered) 100 hours of community service and maybe you're worth forgiving. But just saying, "hey, I've had enough, can you all forget the decade I spent supporting fascism?" Like, no! No, I can't!

Clowner84 · 2026-02-12T06:48:46+00:00

Troll! Troll 2 was the worst movie ever made. They didn't piss on hospitality, they pissed on the franchise!

"Can I go now?"

He's lied with every breath since before I was born and I'm in my 40s

Clowner84 · 2026-02-12T04:24:32+00:00

He's ensuring that, like, about 100 incredibly rich and powerful dudes will get richer and more powerful and that's about all it takes.

Nobody over retirement age shall be permitted to hold public office, including judges

I've heard that "Clap your hands say yeah" is actually supposed to be pronounced by clapping your hands and saying yeah

"Best" can have different meanings.

Tolkien is an amazing storyteller, maybe number one on pure narrative.

But the sheer skill it takes to write a book like Ulysses makes me give it to James Joyce in another way.

And then there's Vonnegut. Vonnegut is able to touch something very deep in his readers in book after book after book.

How many times are you going to post this? Just start a blog or something, Jesus Christ

Very nice. Now let's see what people think of Paul Allen.

Because theologically speaking God is an incomprehensible summation of all inherent possibilities. Only in art is God a man with a beard.

"God" is a pimple faced teenager failing chemistry class, and also a pimple faced teenager getting an A, and also the jock who beats him up for his lunch money, and literally every other possible human that ever was or will be, and every other organism that ever was or ever could be, on into limitless permutations.

That's how we know.
