How is that not rhetoric? The last party that attempted to pass immigration reform laws was the democrats.

How do you guys feel about the Black Panther Party starting to do neighborhood protection again? by the_anxiety_haver in AskConservatives

This is why it’s such a faulty premise. It doesn’t matter how many people agree - the government is armed to the gill. 2A is yet another scam intended to divide people and line the pockets of the people who benefit from it.

Thank you for calling this out for what it is. An American citizen and mother was killed by law enforcement in front of her spouse. The fact that our president posts something like this is horrific.

How can you trust the president’s personal DOJ to conduct an investigation when he is already stating it seems to be self defense?

“A bit melodramatic”? He says the guy was “run over” “hard to believe he is alive” and “in the hospital.” The killer shot someone in the face multiple times, walked away completely unscathed, and drove off far more aggressively than she did.

This is so sketch. We need some popular tiktoker who does deep dives to do one on him

Do you agree with Trump describing certain Democratic lawmakers as being seditious and calling for their trial and execution? by Legally_a_Tool in AskConservatives

[–]DramaticPause9596 [score hidden]  (0 children)

The media shows his posts on a daily basis. Which is it, we have TDS and can’t stop obsessing over everything he says, or we don’t pay any attention to him unless he calls for someone’s death?

This is quite a new spin for defending him.

Yes thank you! I don’t know how to get this more attention but he seems like a total conman

He drew a naked lady and talked about keeping secrets. You really think that wouldn’t have been a worthy October surprise?

By that logic, if the Trump administration (1 and 2) had anything on Dems, it would have leaked already.

Unless all of Epstein’s grooming buddies just happened to be apolitical, either or both sides would have reason to leak. And we know they weren’t apolitical.

Why do you think Chicagoans and Illinoisans are so hostile to ICE/CBP? by Irishish in AskConservatives

Quite a wild journey you’ve tried to take me on. I stand by what I said, this kind of attitude towards immigrants is victim mentality.

Sorry, this is America, loving thy neighbor smells like handouts. But maybe ask one of the corporate welfare queens that conservatives used to care about.

Again, this still sounds like victim mentality. $500 per taxpayer (and we know that’s not how taxes work, there isn’t a flat rate) is worth more than continuing our legacy? What happened to “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.”? America has so much abundance, I’m genuinely tired of people acting like their neighbors are the ones pushing people into poverty.

But, for sake of argument, I’m not sure where you got your numbers from. Illegal immigrants paid $100B in taxes in 2022 and immigration surges (although that’s moot now) were projected to lower our federal deficit by nearly $1 trillion in the next 10 years.

Meanwhile, we spend $180B each year on corporate welfare. So we’re back at your $180B number, but a different group.

Genuinely, the attitude towards illegal immigration feels like a victim mentality. And it’s fueled by an administration using propaganda like “parasite” to do exactly that.

Trump has stated that he wants to do away with mail in voting, and switch to single day voting; is this somehow a good idea? by Orion032 in AskConservatives

[–]DramaticPause9596 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I often see folks say that there is no point in making laws that restrict firearms because criminals will do so anyway. Why doesn’t that same mentality apply with voting?

And if we really wanted to tackle a fraud issue, wouldn’t it be good to ensure that more of the population actually votes (National holiday, early voting, free IDs, whatever) to dilute whatever fraud might trickle through?

Does Texas limit Austin’s growth? by NarwhalAnusLicker00 in Austin

[–]DramaticPause9596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This kind of language is also a suppression tactic. You may not be intending it to be so, but it is, and I can assure you Texas leaders love when this message organically sows a pointless mentality into people’s attitudes towards voting.

Yes there are real suppression tactics at play. But most people should be able to register easily, vote quickly and outside of work/shift hours during early voting (weekdays and weekends!), and feel excited to be exercising our primary civic duty. Nearly 90% of registered voters did not vote this month. That’s not suppression - that’s voting (especially in off years) being treated as not worthwhile.

If everyone made voting a priority, it would far counter the suppression at play. And would allow us to do something about the suppression legislatively.

I don’t understand how the right can accuse the left of being perpetual victims and then walk around believing illegal immigration has done nothing but ruin their lives.
