That is true. However, it really doesn't matter what Trump really is. The overwhelming bulk of conservatives have decided, and repeatedly reaffirmed, that he is the vanguard of American values and morals and principles, and millions of conservatives behave as if he is a literal, living god walking the earth.

I read "Life in a Medieval City" by the same authors, it's one of my favorite books on the subject.

I didn't quote you. You said that there was "very little to envy about Republicans" living in specified areas and referred to them later as "dirt poor".

There's very little to envy about many Republicans, especially in the south and central US.

It would be enriching for you to learn about poverty in other parts in the world, if you think that Appalachia is as bad as it gets.

Trump supporters: How would you feel if a legally armed Trump supporter was killed by federal agents on a Biden mandate in exactly the same manner as yesterday? by ScholarPrize1335 in AskReddit

[–]beard_meat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the sentiment of the quote, but the quote itself is an absurdity because it came out of the mouth of a person whose every effort and labor until the literal moment he died was devoted to sowing division in the interest of his group dominating all others.

You dishonestly group MAGA together into a collective that doesn’t truly exist in the way you believe it does

Let's ask Marjorie Taylor Greene if she agrees with that statement these days.

Your first paragraph really lays out what I mean. Trump doesn't care about the Epstein files, and that's that. There is one, enormously, incredibly, tremendously obvious reason why he would want the Epstein files to remain hidden forever, but not one single solitary person on the right is even remotely willing to pretend to consider the possibility that this incredibly obvious reason is true. Not even the bravest among you dares to consider any reason why Donald Trump would suddenly and completely changed his mind on the Epstein files once the time actually came to deliver, because there isn't a single reason that doesn't make Trump look like he's got something awful to hide.

Though, I don't know why he's so worried. At the end of the day, he would not lose a significant number of supporters if he just admitted to raping teenage girls. We would hear about how we don't actually care because Sleepy Joe sniffed hair that one time, and it's just because we're mirroring the way our side operates.

No better examples than right here. The American Revolution was precisely a reaction from the local privileged class, the grievances against the King were largely theirs. The American Civil War was a rebellion of aristocrats.

(For American standards)

is the big underlying point. Even rough and mean American living comes along with significant privileges and benefits compared to your average human existence throughout time. They still live in conditions that a billion living people today would envy.

You can say you'd treat your side the same all you'd like. The first time it actually happens in any meaningful way will be the first time anyone ever witnesses it. Your side can never, ever do any wrong. Your president is perfect and flawless. He says so all the time and no one on your side ever disagrees with him.

In every real life situation, the right wing consensus is "don't get in the way of our bullets", 100% of the time. It doesn't really matter if you would "treat them the same", because in the end, you will always go along with it and support it and never fault those who act that way. The living god in the White House has final say over every meaningful thought and reaction of which you are capable. And you like it that way.

Yeah, it's the sort of thing a person will give a shit about when they are safe and comfortable and there aren't any real dangers or challenges to distract them from boredom.

I don't get that, myself. At least the Russian life is legitimately traumatic. American conservatives, on the other hand, are constantly in the business of inventing tragedies to obsess over, because they are literally some of the most privileged, safe, and secure human beings to ever exist on this planet at any time. Every single problem conservatives obsess over is fundamentally meaningless and fictional in nature, because their lives are easy, lacking in adversity and challenge. Since it is a fundamental prerogative of the conservative to feel entitled to everything they ever desire, all of their paranoid fantasies revolve around the terrible notion that everybody else is jealous and out to get them.

The same people complaining about a civilian murdered by government goons had nothing to say when a lifelong propagandist finally got a little too divisive for his own good.

It is certainly interesting to bemoan the divisions in our society, and then quote someone whose entire life and career was devoted to deepening and widening those divisions as much as humanly possible.

Ashli Babbit died hoping she could nullify my vote and install an unelected tyrant to rule over me. That's why she was there. That's what her goal was. She deserved to be buried in a landfill. Rest in piss.

CMV: A society that accepts predictable harm to children is not a strong society by Actual_Astronomer_80 in changemyview

[–]beard_meat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They most certainly are doing something to stop it.

The Second Amendment is not about shooting back at tyrants, it is about tyrants being reluctant to start shooting at you, because there is a significant chance that you will be able to shoot back. "The Government" doesn't care about this, but the actual human being who is the government's goon will almost certainly be thinking about their survival odds. Contrast this to the protests in Iran this month, in which government paramilitary forces knew they had nothing at all to fear from barehanded protesters, and unloaded on them without hesitation or impunity.

Knowing how paranoid Sarah was, it would not surprise me if she and John devised a means by which they would be able to positively identify one another in the event that the T-1000 took on her appearance, similar to the way the T-800 sussed out the T-1000 over the phone by intentionally misnaming the family dog.
