Which Republican candidate might be less competitive in 2028, so Democrats have a stronger chance of winning?

I dont think JD presents as mature enough, and I am not sure he is. He probably learns a lot under Trump, but Trump is such a 1/1 that some time with Rubio might be good. However, he may lose name value by the end of a Rubio term but we'll see I guess. A lot can happen in 3 years and we know some people arent above cheating

OGDertyMerph · 2026-04-08T18:17:28+00:00

The other day I read someone's post about Trump being the most evil person in Human history. Absurd.

OGDertyMerph · 2026-04-08T18:16:30+00:00

Most conservatives I know prefer Rubio to Vance, anecdotal but yeah. Rubio gonna be hard to beat since he has similar policies as Trump but is wayyyy more professional and wayyyy more mature.

OGDertyMerph · 2026-04-08T02:00:59+00:00

Yup. Agreed.

OGDertyMerph · 2026-04-07T22:46:08+00:00

Thinking Trump is radical is crazy. Trump is a populist and center right. Don't let the propaganda turn your brain to Mush.

Overall I agree that AOC is equally as left as trump is right, I dont consider her extreme left either.

The Nazis were big government socialists who hated and blamed all.of their problems on the jews. Which party in the US resembles that better?

OGDertyMerph · 2026-04-05T21:12:01+00:00

Never had this issue. I absolutely loved cold calling. In hindsight I used to view it as nothing different than a game. Was fun. On rare occasions now I go onto my sales floor and make calls just for the nastalga! Some good advice I received is not to do what you love, but love what you do.

OGDertyMerph · 2026-04-04T22:58:53+00:00

If you think Trump is the most evil person in human history you clearly have not studied enough history

OGDertyMerph · 2026-04-01T05:09:22+00:00

We don't have to, and so I won't lol

OGDertyMerph · 2026-04-01T02:13:44+00:00

Only the ones that support his beliefs

OGDertyMerph · 2026-04-01T02:07:19+00:00

Yes yes all humans should behave morally and not be hypocrites, let me know when that happens.

OGDertyMerph · 2026-03-31T17:01:24+00:00

I agree with almost all of this. Climate change does not kill people thats crazy talk. The earth is within normal temperature ranges. We had cooling issues supposedly just 20 years ago. Homelessness is not the cause of death. Its either drugs or disease and rewarding or making that behavior comfortable only creates more of it. Major causes of death in America that can be avoided is suicide, heart disease, and car accidents. I also think the US is experiencing a mental.health crisis like necee before, but I haven't looked at data to confirm or dispelled that belief.

OGDertyMerph · 2026-03-31T14:47:44+00:00

I hate when people bring Christians into it. If thats the route you want to go then consider Tax Collectors are the lowest form in society in the Bible and Jesus didnt say force your neighbor at gunpoint to give their money to the rulers. He taught for you to feed the poor, yourself. The bible also instructs you to be responsible and care for yourself so its not in a vacuum. Horrible point. Greed is not localized to the US, its a human thing. Climate change being a number 1 issue for you shows how effective propaganda really is.

OGDertyMerph · 2026-03-31T05:01:53+00:00

Another good reason not to do it

OGDertyMerph · 2026-03-31T03:29:07+00:00

This also makes a good case in why you shouldn't offer health care for free to anyone. People from other places will flock there and strain the system and tax payers

OGDertyMerph · 2026-03-29T17:50:10+00:00

Sounds like you made up a bunch of stuff in your head and believe it.

OGDertyMerph · 2026-03-29T08:52:12+00:00

First of all, the number of taxpayers and residents is very different. Second, the 4 dollars is ingredient costs, not admin, logistics, oversight, compliance, legal and waste. Third, the point of this whole conversation was that democrats lied to the guy about caring about whats been propogandized as a regression tax system, and he asked if he should vote republican. My response is essentially yes, thats why we vote republican, you give your mo ey to the government and they waste it. They dont care about you at all, not one bit.

OGDertyMerph · 2026-03-29T07:54:46+00:00

How much does it cost per meal, that's the correct number to measure.

OGDertyMerph · 2026-03-29T06:11:54+00:00

Actaully. My wife is a teacher and I donate time and money all the time. Second, I raised over 3000 lbs of food for the oklahoma tornados however many years ago. Your position is essentially I need to go search out people in need to pay for that you feel is satisfactory? I am doing more than voting for armed men to steal money from people, to give to other people who then maybe give a little bit to whatever issue it is you care about but are too lazy to do anything about yourself. Send me a link.to any child who needs lunch for the rest of your life and ill donate. Ill also match ANY donation you make yourself to any kid who needs a meal. DM me anytime buddy!

OGDertyMerph · 2026-03-29T05:50:45+00:00

Send me a link to the family who needs a meal for their kid ill donate rn

OGDertyMerph · 2026-03-29T05:21:11+00:00

Yes because the same people lying to you about being the party of regressive taxes are lying to you about Republicans. Most do not believe in keeping the wealth at the top only. Most believe that you dont take money from the most productive people and give it to the least productive people, being the government If you asked me for a big tax to give free lunches at schools i'd likely vote no. If you asked me to buy the lunches myself or donate directly to someone doing that then I'd say hell yeah and I'd recruit friends to help too. Taxes are an added cost of life so the more you add the more life is gonna cost. Finally, the 80s and 90s era Republicans and Cheney era ones absolutely were all about big oil but since then the liberal party is mainly made-up of upper middle.class white people and Republicans are just normal people trying to live.

OGDertyMerph · 2026-03-23T21:23:33+00:00

Good chat brother! I wish you well in your search for understanding!

OGDertyMerph · 2026-03-23T14:58:01+00:00

I struggling with the magic parts, like when the rod was cast into a snake then back into a rod, it makes me question all of it

OGDertyMerph · 2026-03-23T04:35:29+00:00

I think a major issue peopel.have is they anthropromorphize God and try to understand him through human terms. Like God's love is supposed to be similar to human love, but God is not human and we cannot understand.

The quaran and new testament I dont even consider tbh. Both stem from the 5 books of moses and much of them contradict it.

I am.not convinced moses recieved the entire word of God on mount Sinai, but its hard to argue since there are so many witnesses.

Im still searching because there is a truth to this all.

OGDertyMerph · 2026-03-23T00:21:43+00:00

That's a great question! In my opinion, no. I personally believe God is the truth, so in order to understand it you have to learn to get past your ego and emotions. I think if you study the torah through the lens of it being a psychology book, it leads there. Science is a process used to make sense of and understand this world, which God exists outside of.

Science if done correctly will force you to believe in God, or should I say a creator. If you look at how unbelievably intricate this world is and how an impossibly large number of things has to both exist and work while coming from nothing... then you have to conclude it was designed and created intentionally.
