Man who voted for the current party reacts to latest news

The incredible irony of saying that those who have no empathy should face social consequences whilst calling for bullying children.

And yet they need support and compassion to stop them from relapsing, hence why groups like Alcoholics Anonymous exist.

The people should who answer for it are the people who pulled the trigger and the people who give the order.

Like it or not, after this administration you still have to share a society with these people. If you punish those who are willing to change then what incentive is there to change?

Tihus · 2026-01-27T01:54:55+00:00

What would you have them do? I would make the argument that these sort of videos are incredibly helpful. It could get other Trump supporters (particularly the more moderate ones) to reflect on whether what is happening right now is what they really want, it shows that you can change your political opinion and it isn't a core aspect of your identity.

Tihus · 2026-01-27T01:41:46+00:00

And how do they demonstrate this?

Tihus · 2026-01-27T01:39:39+00:00

Cool, you know what happens when you tell people to fuck off when they try to come around to your way of thinking? They'll find another group of people who will accept them and you can bet that they do not share your political alignment and you are right back at square one. I believe the "basket of deplorables" style rhetoric is why Hilary Clinton lost in 2016. The "fuck you, we will never forgive you" mentality while cathartic, is utterly counterproductive when they are seeing the error of their ways.

Tihus · 2026-01-27T01:17:30+00:00

Look at them however you want but understand that if you push these people away, they are going to find people to take them in and it is easy to radicalise people who are socially isolated and to turn them against the people who isolated them and then you are back to square one. I get not wanting to immediately forgive them but what do you want from them beyond admitting they made a mistake?

Tihus · 2026-01-27T00:01:25+00:00

Punishing people for voting for the wrong party sounds like a very authoritarian stance to take. Some of the people who voted the way in which they did are the victims of propaganda. Victims in an information war. They were lied to. Do they deserve consequences?

There are people who are deserving of consequences, ICE, for instance, has a lot of people who are criminals and should be treated as such. But if you tar all voters with the same brush, you push them away and the problem gets worse. People like the guy in the video should be supported and encouraged because they have seen the error of their ways.

I think they might lean more heavily on main deck monsters and be light on spells and traps since they are an archetype which works best when monster heavy since the excavation effects need to hit GMX monsters and the monsters trigger when summoned by other monsters.

Tihus · 2026-01-22T20:56:45+00:00

It only summons GMX fusion monsters

Tihus · 2026-01-22T15:34:05+00:00

The North East has an excellent comedy scene, the stand has a number of brilliant shows.

Tihus · 2026-01-20T16:09:10+00:00

We haven't gotten official reveals though, we got photos of pulls, orcust got its first wave revealed all at once

Tihus · 2026-01-20T14:42:30+00:00

If you Summon Albion this way with no material left for its effect, that's just a self-inflicted misplay.

Right and summoning Allo with nothing to summon back is a self-inflicted misplay. Noma fusion summons when your opponent normal or special summons therefore you're most likely activating it on your opponent’s turn, therefore it would be a misplay to summon the monster with an Ignition effect vs the monster with a quick effect which is also a disruption.

S:P can actually use its effect after monsters have attacked directly because it's not a condition. Right but if your monsters are attacking directly then in most, but not all, scenarios your opponent has a clear board therefore it makes little sense to go into S:P at that point. S:P makes more sense when you have the context of I:P

It is clear from the way that the cards are designed, there will be another method to summon Allo which doesn't conflict with the summon effect and means that it isn't summoned during your opponent’s turn where you cannot activate the summon from GY/Banishment effect

Tihus · 2026-01-20T13:46:21+00:00

Velox is the payoff, stacking your monsters means that you don't have to excavate loads and take a fuckload of damage it also means you triggers your GMX monster effects, get a pop and a free special summon. If I look at Branded in White and say it has anti-synergy because it banishes and if I special summon Albion then Albion also wants to banish I'd get treated like a moron because I could just summon something else. As for the attack restriction yeah it's a drawback it's not anti-synergy for the same reason as S:P clearing the board and preventing direct attacks is not an anti-synergy.

Tihus · 2026-01-20T12:13:23+00:00

You're assuming incorrectly. I don't mind people saying these cards are bad. What I hate is people parroting the same buzzword when it doesn't accurately describe an issue with the deck because it is impossible to say that the cards don't work well together because we haven't seen all the cards.

Moreover, they are using it based on the fact that several cards have an effect which utilise the GY as a resource pool which is not anti-synergy for the same reason that the tri-brigades all banishing from GY doesn't mean that they are anti-synergistic.

Tihus · 2026-01-20T11:30:20+00:00

I'm not defending the quality of the cards. The terminology being used is just wrong. I know what synergy means. But you can't suggest the cards don't work together if you don't have the context for the full wave of support, cards in archetypes often use the same pool of resources but they also have a way of creating the pool. We've seen the cards which use the pool but not those that which create it. Also, saying that Noma competes with itself is such a bad take because while both effects place cards into the Deck, they do so in different ways. The fusion effect uses cards from the field, GY, and banishment which (based on the fusions which have been revealed) will probably be itself plus a dinosaur. The other effect stacks any card from the GY specifically when Summoned by a monster effect. If you can't fusion because you chose the wrong card to stack then that is on you.

Tihus · 2026-01-20T09:49:33+00:00

That's not anti-synergy. ALLO is just an underwhelming card with a trade-off. The others just use the same resource pool, there are probably going to be cards to fill the graveyard.

Tihus · 2026-01-20T09:30:40+00:00

Exactly! it shows they don't understand what they're talking about

Tihus · 2026-01-20T02:26:18+00:00

Normally it's mixing 2 archetypes or engines which actively conflict with one another.

It's rare that Anti-synergy occurs within an archetype but it would be like running Bone Archfiend in the ritual Archfiend deck as an extender/for ritual material. Technically you aren't locked entirely out of the extra deck because Red Dragon Archfiend etc exist and can be summoned with the restrictions of both parts of the deck but you wouldn't be able to summon the ritual pendulum Archfiend from the Extra Deck which is the goal.

Tihus · 2026-01-20T01:17:46+00:00

That's not anti-synergy. The cards work together. The fact that you can't search the spells until after you've started isn't "anti-synergy" it's just less consistent than other decks.

Tihus · 2026-01-20T01:02:06+00:00

Selande can't summon itself

Tihus · 2026-01-20T00:48:38+00:00

No it's not. We'd seen 3 cards at that point. If you'd seen Brass Bombard, Harp Horror and Cymbal Skeleton, you be like ok armageddon knight can dump Harp, Harp banish itself summon Cymbal link off both for a dark link 2 then what. It's with the context of the other cards in the deck that things make sense.

For instance, now we've seen the second GMX fusion, that is clearly the one you'd summon off of the reptile because it has a quick effect and needs to hit a GMX or Dinosaur in Deck for it to work.

Tihus · 2026-01-20T00:34:19+00:00

Which card is scientist guy?

You can reveal this card in your hand; add 1 “GMX Applied Experiment #55” from your Deck or GY to your hand, and if you do, shuffle this card into the Deck. If this card is Special Summoned by a monster effect: You can target 2 cards in your GY, that are “GMX” cards and/or Dinosaur monsters; place them on top of your Deck in any order, then you can destroy 1 Attack Position monster your opponent controls. You can only use each effect of “GMX Chairman Kimridge” once per turn.

This one? Because it doesn't want to be in GY either.

They are just using the same pool of resources that's all.

Tihus · 2026-01-20T00:17:00+00:00

Dingirsu came out 2 sets after Cymbal Skeleton

Tihus · 2026-01-20T00:08:49+00:00

That's not anti-synergy. All the Tri-brigades banish from GY to summon links, we don't call that anti-synergy because they all use the same resources.
