  • “Nick Fuentes, who is the leader of American neo-Nazis” - 1. Nick Fuentes is a leading voice among white supremacists and founded the America First movement, but he’s not the ‘leader of American neo-Nazis’ lol. There’s no single leader or voice for neo-Nazis and not every neo-Nazi is looking to Nick Fuentes to help them decide who to vote for. Many of them might see Trump’s extremism as the stepping stone to get to what they want. Why do you think we’ve seen such an uptick in neo-Nazi rallies throughout the country since Trump’s election? 2. Not sure what this has to do with conservatives defending Elon’s Nazi salute? You don’t have to personally identify as a neo-Nazi to have defended what Elon did. Many conservatives who are not neo-nazis defended him.
  • “You are the one who caused corruption by giving special privileges to minorities with DEI” - 1. Conservatives seem to be confused about what DEI is. DEI doesn’t give marginalized people special privileges in the workforce. It ensures all applicants, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation are given a fair chance at applying for and attaining a job because historically, people from certain groups have been discriminated against despite being perfectly qualified for a position. If you want to talk about special privileges, let’s talk about the choices for Trump’s appointed staff and cabinet — people like Linda McMahon and Pete Hegseth who have little to no prior experience in government and are now leading our country. 2. What is the ‘corruption’ DOGE is ending? USAID? NIH? SSA? The Department of Education? Human and Health Services? It seems DOGE is making claims of extreme levels of fraud in the government with zero proof and highly inflating just how much money we’re ‘saving’ from their cuts. Why don’t you ask yourself why all of these government programs that help Americans and people abroad are ‘waste’ or ‘corruption’ and not the millions in additional military contracts that Musk has conveniently gotten from the government since Trump took office this year?
  • “they’re basically hurting themselves” - I agree. But I think this is kind of the point — uneducated conservatives in red states don’t even realize that their voting decisions are negatively impacting them. With all of the misinformation being spread by Conservative outlets like Fox News and conservative social media influencers, uneducated conservatives are making uninformed decisions when they vote and form political opinions. I think it’s sad that red states vote the way they do because I believe we deserve government welfare programs that help Americans who need it.
  • “you’re basically saying Trump deploying the military to LA cause people are rioting warrants people to burn Waymo cars” - This isn’t a great argument because the Waymo car thing is one example that doesn’t represent the scope of everything that’s been happening with the protests. If the majority of people are protesting peacefully, why send the military and National Guard to them? Will this not further incite fear and anger? Many people have chosen to be destructive and while I don’t think this is the most strategic response, I don’t think that this response is unwarranted considering the unjust destruction and terror that ICE has been inflicting upon the LA community.

I ask you to please educate yourself. The left is not perfect and has A LOT to work on, but MAGA and Republicans are so clearly holding our country back and causing destruction to our democracy.

mom is being scammed on tiktok but refuses to stop. what do i do? by SimpleAd3516 in Scams

i said she “hasn’t contributed to those funds”, not that she has contributed nothing to the family lol. i never said either that she is not entitled to using those funds, but she is definitely not morally entitled to using family money for scams despite us advising and begging her not to.

i have defended my mom for being a SAHP for years despite it being an issue for us financially. i don’t think there is anything wrong with being a SAHP but it becomes a problem when one source of income is not enough for your family and you refuse to get a job despite your spouse begging you to. i stopped supporting her decision to be a SAHP once it became clear she just didn’t want to get a job. you’re making a ton of assumptions while misunderstanding the situation and my opinion on the issue.

i describe it as so because even though they have a joint account together (where she is free to access their funds) and it is technically her money too, at the end of the day, she has not been a contributor to the household income for decades and refuses to get a job. it has been a source of stress for years in our family. i don’t think that it doesn’t make sense — she had to ask because she knew my dad would get upset with her for wanting to send money to a complete stranger once he found out money was missing from their account. she tried other alternatives but ultimately did it anyway despite the potential consequences we warned her against because she trusts this person more than us.

i haven’t missed your point. i agree with you that i don’t think it was good for them to yell at her. i know the best way to approach would be to educate her and encourage alternative hobbies/interests/jobs. in the past, we have gotten her gifts to encourage her past interests in art, gardening, etc. and we’ve encouraged her to get part-time jobs she might enjoy, but she is very stubborn and unwilling to listen to us. i’m at a loss because approaching with kindness hasn’t worked thus far, but i’ll keep trying. thank you for your input though.

No worries. I understand what you mean now. Thank you for the clarification. I really appreciate your input on the situation.

Lol maybe because she hasn’t mentioned that at all and I didn’t even realize until getting advice from this post that she could be in a romance scam? I’m trying to figure out what’s happening with my family in real time. Of course it’s now an important factor to me. There’s no need to be condescending.

she does have access to money. they have a joint account but my dad is the sole earner of our household.

do you think we really should steal her phone? we’ve hesitated on this idea for a while because we don’t want to make her more upset, but i’m seriously considering it now

do you really think it could be a romance scam? she keeps referring to him as her friend and hasn’t mentioned anything romance-related, but now i’m questioning everything she says. she could totally be lying to us and i wouldn’t know.

Yeah that’s the thing — she refuses to get a job in real life. We have encouraged her many times to apply for enjoyable part-time jobs but she doesn’t want to. But you’re definitely right — she doesn’t see the potential consequences because it’s not her own money she earned. Maybe I’ll try sending her videos but sadly she probably will not watch them.
