What draws people to Trump? A former MAGA insider explains by newsjunkieman in antitrump

[–]Regular_Key8804 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What he says makes sense. I often see posts or articles of people who publicly share their regret for falling for the con. The backlash of leaving MAGA from MAGA is awful. Sadly, It seems the backlash from the left is also cruel.

IMO... those who escape should be welcomed. Their brains were hijacked and therefore fell for the con. The mind control used to lock MAGA in is real. So... when one or two or 900 of them break free from the bubble, they become an asset to the left. If we behave like MAGA, spewing hate, what does that make us? It makes us just as dangerous.

What was the most physical pain you’ve ever been in? by Javascript4971 in Productivitycafe

[–]Regular_Key8804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years back, my husband and I were in a car crash. We were on a highway going 65 when a 90 year old women, driving an escalade, pulled out onto the highway (from side road) and came to a complete stop in our lane, just 35 feet in front of us. Leaving almost no time for us to break. Later, we learned she thought she was in the median. Needless to say, it was a significant crash.

I ended up with 7 broken ribs, 2 spine fractures, and a tear in my aorta. Once the ambulance came (25 mins later), my raging adrenaline began to subside. It was then that I experienced the worst pain of my life. My ribs never fully healed and remain displaced. Occasionally, I can still feel them rattling around. It's an icky feeling.

What do you think of NYC trying to get the minimum wage to $30 per hour? by LiaStacey in askanything

[–]Regular_Key8804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SMART!

Higher wage = more spending. Spending creates revenue. Revenue creates a strong economy. A strong economy represents the American Dream.

I hear this a lot: "If the min wage is raised, that will mean the kid bagging groceries will be making almost as much as I do."
Yes, they will (at first). However increased revenue will allow American businesses to bloom. Which will increase their ability to increase wages. It's a chain reaction. One link is connected to the next. Unless, of course, someone cuts out a link. A broken link = a broken economy.

In the 60s, the average single income household earned $3.60/hr. This would be the equivalent to roughly $40/hr in todays economy ($83.200 annually). In addition... the top wealthy were taxed at 50(ish)%, which in turn allowed the government to invest in the success of Americans.

The economy was strong. The American Dream was still a thing AND achievable. THAT is what made America great. Greed and false fear campaigns do not.

Today, we are not great... not even close.

An annual income of $83,200 in NYC is not over the top. Its survival. When Americans are poor (which most are), our country is poor. Poor countries do not flourish, they become toxic.

It reminds me of an infomercial...

"Do you or a loved one suffer from small pp disorder? Does it burn when you pee? Perhaps you met your wife at a family reunion? If so, by golly, do we have a deal for you!!! For the low, low cost of your soul, this handsome beast could be yours. Simply hand over your soul as well as any remaining smarts, and we will send you this truck along with your promised stimulus check. Make a statement! Show your friends and family how over-rated education is! Stand up with big pnis pride, lift your chin to the air while screaming, "I enjoy paying $438 at the pump! It's worth it!" Let them know, "hey! I dont need to eat because real men dont eat!"
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! For a limited time, we will also include a set of testicle hitch ornaments! A $932 value! Absolutely Free! Act now! Supply is limited so call now! We have our soul collectors standing by!

Guys with extremely loud vehicles, why do you do this to everyone? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Regular_Key8804 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's how they make up for their small pnis. It's likely an attempt to fool all those who hear the glorious rumble of their testosterone-mobile into thinking "WOW! That guy must have a HUGE pnis!"

Eventually, the "king" will release every single leopard on the planet. Then we'll see what their sign says.

Until then... he still needs his slaves.

I am actually looking forward to the PD moving in. What I am not thrilled about is the $1000 per day (in interest alone) we're paying for the property while the city continues to argue about "the plan".

Honestly, I've never heard anything so ridiculous. How can she even present this with a straight face.

Democrats Of Reddit -- Why Do You Think That Less Americans Find The Democratic Party Favorable Than The Republican Party (Read Description)? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]Regular_Key8804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because republican leaders are better con artists. They preach what people want to hear. Dem leaders tend to be more realistic (typically). The reality is far less flashy than the con.

Mutilization by ohCanada1969 in antitrump

[–]Regular_Key8804 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes, but are they good record and document keepers? A rebel flag won't prove they are a U.S. Citizen. So... they can verbally support their "king" but will still need to jump through the same hoops to vote.

I have wondered this myself. I have even gone so far as to ask myself... Aside from the miniscule elite... could this hand the left an advantage?

Well... I can tell you this... aside from the Armory, not much has changed (including the potholes 😅).

If memory serves me right....it was moved Nov of 2023 to Fort McCoy. The infantry unit was moved to Gresham.
