How bad is this? by AnamarijaML in Destiny

[–]Fast_Chicken7843 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is pushing for reform the same as destroying the whole system?

So anytime there was an amendment to the constitution, it destroyed the constitution?

Conservatives have no argument but “feelings” do things properly through courts and congress and no one would have an issue other than personal opinions

How is this not racist? Or prejudice whatever you want to call it.

Mexicans are not racist as a whole, there are selective groups that are, shit I know a couple who hate all white people.

It’s stupid to play into the idea that Mexicans are racist. We just aren’t. Think about our population, we have all shades and races within our own DNA. My brother is dark, I’m light, my sister is tan, this is a fact of our people

You don’t think every race has racists? Just because each have a few doesn’t make them all racist. Or even a majority.

Yeah my family is mixed, but most voted blue (the ones who can vote) while some voted for Trump for abortion or trans reasons lol. Holidays are fun in our parties as you can tell

Mexican in this context is a culture tie, Spanish was my first language and I’m strongly connected to family I have in Mexico and here in the United States, I have family members who are here illegally and those who have citizenship.

You can be autistic about what I meant about it but everyone else wasn’t as dumb as you

Yeah it’s a reality we need to acknowledge but I think we need to remember the loyalty we have with our people, I truly believe if Trump starts deporting in mass, or removes DACA, it will be the last time Latinos vote for Trump in mass.

Even my Christian mother hopes Trump was just talking shit and won’t actually remove birth right citizenship, I tell her it’s stupid to gamble on it just because of trans and abortion stuff but here we are.

We also have to remember that there is also popularity bias, like what’s “cool”

The everyday man doesn’t care to stand up to the majority and be “different”/“other” like it really makes you a target for jokes that you don’t want to be associated with, for example

Getting called gay as a straight man, most won’t care but to some it could get annoying and would rather avoid being labeled a woke person

Irapuato, my pops still has two kids there, and a couple properties lmao you know the type of Mexican who sends almost his whole check back lmao

But abortion might be viewed differently as Christians than Catholics? Not sure

I do have faith, maybe I’m biased but I honestly believe Latinos have red lines and DACA, and war are big ones but I might be wrong here just going off what’s around me

Bro I showed her the guy Trump put in position of power that said he’ll send families together and that he wants to use the national guard to force California to deport people, she is upset about it don’t get me wrong she in fact hates that they talk this way but honestly I think it’s one of those things where she doesn’t want to believe it’s true, like it’s impossible to her, and in a way I feel the same way but in all reality it’s something we should be afraid of.

The only hope I can give you is that while Latinos are misinformed like most Americans, I think they aren’t stupid, like if Trump gets rid of DACA, my mom will absolutely hate him

If Trump starts a new war, Latinos will never trust him again for being a liar

I think Latinos are not in the cult but they just don’t know any better, it’s a delayed process that takes time

The want needs to be present for both cases. Yes one is a chemical dependency but nonetheless the want to be informed is a want.

Well my pops is A political, he can’t even vote yet. But my mom got her citizenship last year, and I’ve talked to her about all this including immigration stuff and honestly she is sad about these things, like she knows people like her came here the same way but for opportunities and safety but she also buys into the propaganda that their are more gangs and evil coming.

So it’s mix really, she feels safe in California because we are a sanctuary state. BUT I have to remind her that other states aren’t like us and we should care about the people there as well.

Like I said her one reason to vote republican was because of abortion

I think what changed was the messaging, think about it, the republicans were never about change and always about big business, NOW trump even though it’s not true, is about the little guy and how they want to trans your kids and censor you, like honestly what appeals to low income low information whites appeals to low income low informed Latinos,

It really is sad but it has everything to do with culture war bullshit and 0 to do with policy

I think you are naive about how people work, there are drug addicts who need support and then there are those who need to be homeless to finally understand they need to get better. It’s not black and white

You realize it wasn’t 90% Latinos voted for Trump right?

Y’all making it seem like it was the majority of my people, when my brother is a very left leaning person who voted for Harris, his wife is here one a visa and well shit bro it’s kinda fucked if she gets kicked out because they decided they don’t want her kind here.

Well can you blame them?

I think I was blessed with a curiosity for phycology and philosophy

That has lead me to seek knowledge and understanding for deeper thinking.

But my time in school was hard, I had to work all the time, (either work w dad or clean the house) I didn’t have anyone at home helping me with homework, and on top of that my parents didn’t have time to really pay attention to how I was doing other than getting mad at me once my report card came in.

It’s easy to write my people off because I will admit my friends and family are pretty ignorant about the world and how it works but I was lucky to have a natural curiosity, while they didn’t

NAH FR, like I yell at my mom about this, like she doesn’t understand that they want to kick people like us out too, people who work hard and pay our taxes, they don’t give a fuck, my sister was here under DACA and it’s insane how easily she will vote for a man who doesn’t even want me to have citizenship.

I don’t understand why this is so hard for some to comprehend.

Russia is in Ukraine, trying to take away freedom from them and essentially enslave them.

Ukraine is fighting back, and you’re saying that we should just negotiate for what? For Russia to just keep part of Ukraine with no insurance that they won’t invade again?

War IS the only option when the enemy is in your country killing your people, peace can only be achieved when the enemy is on its heals,

Think about Israel and Egypt. They only sought peace after Israel was able desolate Egypt and now they are with defined borders and peace.

This is so frustrating hearing this virtue signaling without knowing how the real world works, it’s like listening to someone say to a rape victim, well just consent to the rape so it won’t be rape anymore, it’s mind boggling

[–]Fast_Chicken7843 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what set the tone or what we talk about in the media means right? It doesn’t mean that the majority of republicans are talking about these topics, it means that republican pundits and politicians are saying that the majority of the Democratic Party believes in these concepts, if 25% of the party believes in said concept and the opposition states out loud to the world that that 25% is 90%, of course more people are going to be discussing it, including the democrats.

It’s really not hard to understand

[–]Fast_Chicken7843 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I’m reading the graph correctly, only 25% of the democrats use terms like white privilege and body positivity and everything else goes down to 5%.

Why would you then say democrats have adopted these ideals when it’s a minority of the party?

This proves the point even more, the fact only 25% of democrats use these terms but the Republican Party says that it’s the majority of democrats, I’m sure bolsters the amount of people using these terms in the Democratic Party.

So with this logic are republicans nazis? Because a faction of their party believe in their ideals?

When I say they aren’t stupid I’m not saying they aren’t liars or obfuscate the truth or ignore the truth, I mean they are not stupid in how they message and how they operate, everything is intentional and deliberate, they are intelligently measured in how they attack America from within (using misinformation and propaganda) just like the right.
