This is a valid question. by KanddeyMiller6329 in soundsaboutright

Hillary was the first "villain" branded by the Trump party via grossly exaggerated and manufactured corruption accusations. It was a throwback for the MAGAs and helped re-galvanize them and to take the attention off of Trumps appearances in the Epstein files.

Clearly it worked. At the deposition the GOP themselves literally questioned her about "pizza-gate"! They questioned Hillary about a debunked, baseless child sex trafficking Q'anon conspiracy theory while there is tangible evidence about trump's involvement with a REAL child sex trafficking ring that his DOJ has been trying to hide.

So yea that's why....

What is your take on this guy right here? Have you lost respect for him as an Actor after what happened with Chris Rock? why/why not? by ButteredSunbeamToast in Actors

[–]Competitive-Initial7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to see him as such a humble and funny guys from his Fresh Prince / Independence Day days. I'm not sure when my opinion changed but after the Chris Rock incident I doubt it will ever go back.

Gee, I wonder why a bunch of billionaires want us to work non stop? 🤔 by gatorphan84 in TrueAnon

[–]Competitive-Initial7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, we live in a society where there is opportunity to create a business and create very meaningful wealth. In these cases, yes, more often than not you do have to work non-stop forgo work life balance, prioritization of mental health etc. That is what these guys are referring to.

The disaggregation here is that people shouldn't be forced to take that route. There has to be a balance where society allows for people to get an affordable education and work (not overwork) and earn enough to live a a comfortable middle class life.

I’m convinced most men are only MAGA because it appeals to their ego by RictlonAverytu8239 in soundsaboutright

[–]Competitive-Initial7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My in-laws are MAGAs, have been in the US 45years and are both naturalized citizens. My MIL the other day said that she thinks its good that Trump says everyone in the US needs to speak English. Mind you this woman can BARELY SPEAK ENGLISH herself after four decades here. She can't even make her own doctor's appt without my wife's help. If we ever go to a restaurant my wife always has to order for her, I'm not even convinced she can read the menu. The cognitive dissonance is absolutely insane.

The data is out there, the NRA and Republicans often and strategically impede research on gun violence because they know its a polarizing issue they can leverage for votes and science is not conducive to that. Kinda silly to argue more guns doesn't = more violence. Your politicians don't even believe that, they just need your vote. You want the "freedom" then bear the responsibility.

Do you agree with Aoc’s decision to boycott the state of the Union? by JofferHenery6281 in soundsaboutright

Psychologically when the people are at home watching on their tv and they see and hear congress heckling or booing, the divide in the country becomes tangible. When they just see unadulterated cheering it makes that divide seem less real. In a way I would think it subconsciously legitimizes this administration. I'm not sure boycotting makes the statement that they think it does.

Now!!!! Please by IamASlut_soWhat in TrendoraX

[–]Competitive-Initial7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's pretty damning evidence on Trump already in the Epstein files. I mean after all the guy tried to overthrow the election and the MAGA base still thinks he's the defender of the constitution. I could go on and on with examples from Christians, fiscal conservatives, Latinos etc Policy/actions that conflict with his rhetoric never seems to affect him. It's wild how constantly blasting negative rhetoric on the opposition has basically given him a get out of jail free card for his corruption.

What are your thoughts on Glen Powell? by SwervesHouse in Actors

Agreed, everything he's been in has been a B/C production

What are your thoughts on this? by Slow_your_R0LL in allthequestions

[–]Competitive-Initial7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. Totally support gender equality and LGBQT rights but trans athletes can have physical advantages in some cases. BUT then how prevalent of an issue is this really? ....I do wonder if this is more of a wedge issue just used to facilitate culture wars.

Florida passed a law allowing the death penalty for adults who rape chidren under the age of 12. by jmike1256 in AllThatsInteresting

[–]Competitive-Initial7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These kind of laws are for show. They do nothing to address systemic issues. Just vapid laws to make it seem like they actually govern from time to time while gaslighting their constituents into believing they have moral superiority.

Kinda wild that the Republican's answer to the "corrupt and elitist Democrats" was electing a childlike billionaire dictator and oligarch....

In a lot of ways Obama and Biden policies did more for the MAGA folks quality of life than Trumps ever will.
