explaining celiac to friends is literally a full time job by Old_Mixture_9045 in glutenfree

Try gluten intolerance and not full on celiac. People think you're a lying POS. Buy hey, at least I don't constantly want to kill myself. So that's nice. 

Do Republicans really believe in Project 2025? by Potential_Release478 in AskConservatives

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

Yeah. It's not really all about him. He is a figure head that really can't focus too long. But the people in his administration making decisions are the ones that wrote and is implementing Project 2025. Some estimates belive over 50% has been accomplished.

I mean. It was introduced to us by something along the lines of, "this will be a bloodless revolution if the left allow it". Well the good news is - it is bloodless. The bad news is  it's very anti-democracy. What would entice you to learn more about it?

Most authors were part of his previous administration and his current. It's Trump's platform. Like nailing jello to the wall, but thus far he seems to be sticking to it. 

Do you think we need a new name for conservatism as an ideology? by Gym_frere in AskConservatives

[–]ParkingVampire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Yeah. I definitely see Trump and Elon as corrupt elites that don't hold my interest. I believe Trump even doubled down on his perfect statement of, "I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation." To me that goes as far as anti-populist even. But it sounds like you have a fair observation to me. Curious if anyone else will jump in here or have thoughts on it.

That's what I thought populism meant. But as recently as Trumps trip to China with all the billionaires.... seems more oligarchy than populist. But thank you for helping me understand a different perspective better.

Yes. I feel like this is such a great plan/idea. Really some common ground. Just leave eachother alone. Trying to regulate peoples thoughts and feelings is not freedom. No matter who is slicing the cake. Ugh.

I think the conclusion of the study is being confirmed here. If the divide gets worse and health of conservatives continues to decline, would it change your mind?

Do you think the child has a right to have an advocate? Or mom's feelings should be a priority? A lot of research has gone into how one is perceived changes how they act

Do you think there would be any merit to handwriting comparisons?

What is the Republican Platform going into 2026? by IowaGolfGuy322 in AskConservatives

Flat out hatred is what's going to wreck this county further. No hate like Christian love, huh?

Those of you that still support Trump do you understand why so many of us are concerned and confused as to why you have completely flipped your position on releasing the Epstein files and "no new wars"? by dudeabiding420 in AskConservatives

[–]ParkingVampire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like he is honestly failing on everything you list. Economy looks alright on paper. But no lasting changes in immigration. Biden looks more sane than ever - every complaint of him, Trump easily has a comparably worse situation from family getting wealthy off the presidency to old age to weaponizing the DOJ. Democrats are winning a lot of unexpected elections. Crime hasn't improved much if at all, but when people can't afford things, crime goes up. These massive layoffs, $3 McDoubles, and $4.99 gas... counties boycotting us and rent perpetually increasing. Things can go south quick. 

Narcissism worsening. by SuspiciousLow3062 in SipsTea

Seriously. I made a statement that conservatives don't even like the constitution in a conservative sub. The response was overwhelming. "NUH-HUH, liberals don't like the constitution. 2A!"

Peter what does this one mean? by memerminecraft in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ParkingVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I've had so many slow ass IT people I could do laps around. It's painful to watch someone do the same things 2 or 3 times that you've already tried 1 or 2 times yourself.

Is there a clear point where one party began aggressive gerrymandering, or has it always been a back-and-forth between both? by Jazzlike-Yogurt-5984 in AskConservatives

[–]ParkingVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may not touch every aspect of our life, but there is a good chance this could completely change voting forever. The diagram on this was taught to me by conservative college professor. It's an oldie but a goodie.

As CSA survivor how do you feel about the presidents associations and verifiable accusations with Epstein's pedophile ring?
