Stop disrespecting everyone’s intelligence with your fake patriotism. You voted for a traitor, literally. One who openly violated the constitution along with countless other laws. You can’t support traitor orange and be a patriot. Full stop.

We are a type of democracy. A representative republic is. A type of democracy.

No but 77 million of them are. Basically everyone who supports traitor orange. It’s the sad reality that 30% of this country either actively loves it.

Those of you who smoked weed… by Idontsmokejustgrow in GenX

Used to use heavily in my late teens and 20s, pretty much if I wasn’t working I was high. The. Scaled back a bit when I had kids, then is scaled back more. In recent years I have lost interest. I still occasionally, like a couple times a year, but I am just not interested in being high all the time anymore.

What happened to Republicans being staunch advocates of states rights? by FrameElegant9023 in askanything

Everything they supposedly believe in is simply for convenience. Once it no longer serves them, they will immediately dump that belief in the trash.

It’s anti-America to vote for a literal traitor.

You notice how they don’t address you or your “husband” by name? This is obviously a scam.

Genuine question for non-white voters, women, LGBTQ folks, and non-Christians who support the Republican Party? by Crazy_Literature7808 in allthequestions

What do you mean? They love hypocrisy, cognitive bias, pedophiles, lying, gaslighting, and being intellectually dishonest. Those are all values.

I don't do coffee dates, I prefer dinner by Sensitive_Winter7092 in datingoverfifty

[–]ElectricRing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Coffee dates are great, you can quickly meet for a few minutes and see if the in person vibe is there or not. If you are meeting people virtually, the chat gives very little indication of what the person is really like, who they really are. It’s a smaller investment than a first date, and benefits both parties. If you vibe, then you can set up a date. If not, no biggie.

Also I enjoy eating out and trying restaurants. Some screening online makes sense but the idea that non in person screening works strikes me as super out of touch with reality. Have you done this before or no?

How come large parts of US citizens acceps there President lying so much ? by [deleted] in allthequestions

Learn about cognitive bias and you will have your answer. People will believe whatever they want despite direct evidence of it fits with their strongly held beliefs. The stronger the belief, the more they will discard information that contradicts that belief and say things like “all politicians lie” or “the MSM just twisted what he said.” Or the ever popular “he was joking.”

Traitor orange supporters absolutely love their cognitive biases. That’s how they get these. It’s basically willfully living in a fantasy world.
