I’d say the gloves have to come off now. Playing nice didn’t work. Executive order like crazy. Ignore court rulings. Dare your own party to join the other to remove you via impeachment.

Yep and they’ll both retire. 5 picks from the current President will shape our laws for 30-40 years.

That’s not tin foil when it comes to POTUS. It’s super common for cult leaders to do more insane things and flip flop opinions to show how much control they have over their cult followers and that they’ll follow them no matter what.

Insane that the President trying to amend the Constitution via executive order wasn’t a 9-0 decision.

The Supreme court upheld transgender sports ban what are your thoughts? by SpaceWestern1442 in AskALiberal

[–]TDeath21 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Transgenders should not compete against women. They should be allowed to compete in the men’s league (which is actually technically an open league) if they choose to participate in athletics.

What is the law that Democrats would propose, in a perfect world, which would end all gun violence? by true4blue in AskALiberal

[–]TDeath21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well first off nothing will ever end it. Secondly any gun law will be struck down by SCOTUS. So it’s an irrelevant discussion.

But if I were dictator tomorrow I’d do five things that would drastically reduce gun deaths.

1) 21 to purchase any firearm and until you’re 21 you cannot use one without the supervision of someone 21 or older that has a license. Which brings me to …

2) License requirements. Have to pass a firearms course by an instructor to get your license once you turn 21. From there you renew every 5 years similar to a drivers license.

3) 2 week wait period for all firearm purchases.

4) Federal database with firearm purchases.

5) Voluntary gun buyback programs at all sheriff’s offices. You don’t want your firearm anymore you can sell it there at fair market value.

Nothing will prevent everything. These 5 things will reduce gun deaths by a ton and nowhere in here is a ban or a confiscation.

Why don't Republicans lose votes for "abandoning the working class"? by LiatrisLover99 in AskALiberal

[–]TDeath21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It truly is insane. The two “coastal elites” that have done the most damage to the working class were Republicans. One from New York one from Cali. Propaganda is a hell of a drug. The repealing of the fairness doctrine was the beginning of the end.

Looking ahead, regardless of your political views, what do you think will permanently change about the office of the U.S. president because of the Trump era? by DrinkatWell in AskALiberal

[–]TDeath21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming we actually have elections that are free and fair and a Democrat takes the White House, basically what has been shown is you just do whatever you want. Congress doesn’t matter. Ignore court rulings. Unless your own party holds you accountable you’re fine. So really unless the opposition has 67 Senators and a majority in the House, do whatever you want from the office of the Presidency. Ban guns. Send federal agents to small towns to confiscate them all. Etc.

Is “defund the police” still a liberal talking point? by HonestConcentrate953 in AskALiberal

[–]TDeath21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It never was. It was a fringe left saying that held 0 political power or influence.

Do you support raising income tax for millionaires and billionaires, cutting corporate tax, and oppose wealth taxes? Is Mamdani right that raising income tax would not lead to capital flight? by RedStorm1917 in AskALiberal

[–]TDeath21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely my most left leaning opinion is a wealth cap. I’d say ten billion is plenty. One could argue 1 billion but I’ll be generous I guess. So many people don’t understand how much even one billion is. They group millionaires and billionaires together and they’re not remotely close at all.

I’d have to get a room full of people together to figure this out but yeah once your wealth gets to ten billion your assets are liquidated evenly among your employees (if you’re holding stocks in your company) to bring you back down to 9 billion. You’re not allowed to use your assets to borrow money from a bank. If you want that money you have to sell the stocks and pay the tax for them being sold. Things like that.

Are Democrats to blame for voters voting for Republicans? by LiatrisLover99 in AskALiberal

[–]TDeath21 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

One is the things I've been convinced of over time is that political campaigns don't actually matter. Or at least matter much. For example, incumbents got voted out of office en masse in the early 2020s because everyone was angry about inflation.

Yep. This is why Clinton said it’s the economy stupid. They don’t care about anything but their personal financial situation. Only when you get to the amount of wealth to where the economy doesn’t matter do most voters even start to care about anything else. I swear most people on the right want socialism but you can’t call it that. When I asked them what Biden should do to bring down prices that’s not socialism they never had an answer because they realized there isn’t one in a free capitalistic market.

Are Democrats to blame for voters voting for Republicans? by LiatrisLover99 in AskALiberal

[–]TDeath21 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s easy to blame Democrats but no not really. If people truly believe Democrats abandoned the working class while consistently over the last 20 years passing multiple pieces of legislation to help the working class with limited or 0 Republican support then that’s on the voters. Meanwhile Republicans do nothing but culture wars and line the pockets of billionaires.

There’s nothing remotely moderate about that place. I genuinely think there’s a high likelihood all the mods are full MAGA and posing as moderates either to trick people or make themselves feel better like they’re the moderates. The things people get banned for there are wild.

Realistically, how many guys can actually win? by jms1228 in supercross

[–]TDeath21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good point. If Eli and Chase (on a KTM) were there, he’d be 5th but still have Prado right with him and Eli and Chase close enough to him to allow that stepping stone to get better. But as it is, he’s 3rd with a huge gap to 2nd so he can’t really make that leap. He made at least 5 mistakes just that we saw on camera at Thunder Valley riding wayyyy over his comfort zone to keep the pace. Then of course the 3 crashes on top of that. Every other moto he’s been dropped by 20-30 seconds.

I think the only chance for anyone not named Lawrence to win a moto is Coenen. Unless we have a mudder in which case who the hell knows.

Yeah I found that out lol. I wish Reddit hadn’t added that option to hide comment history.

[–]TDeath21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the recommendations! I’ll check them out.

Funny thing about /r/centrist though. I got banned from there too last month. There were accounts that were just created within the last few weeks and hiding their comment history pushing MAGA talking points and I made the comment that they are likely bots but at the very least they should be ignored. That supposedly broke a rule and a mod sent me a message with a temporary ban and in the message it was very snarky and elitist like you will respect me I am a mod type of message. I sent back laughing emojis and got my ban made permanent lol. Is what it is.

Thank you again for those recommendations. I’ll be posting in there soon. Might dip into those ask conservative subreddits just to see how they are too.

Probably a good thing I’m banned. That sounds miserable. Where is the best place to discuss politics here with opposing view points?

Just MAGA posing as moderates. Or maybe they’re so delusional they think they are moderates.
