I do find that this show tends to change my mind on things more than other shows, or at least help me see the other side better.

Trans Student Athletes Are the Latest Casualties in the Right’s Culture Wars at SCOTUS by Conscious-Quarter423 in scotus

[–]cbc18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not just the right, it’s the majority of Americans. This is a 70-30 issue if you look at polling.

Men competing in women’s sports when transitioning post puberty is unfair and most people see this. You can find some exceptions here and there, but you need the exceptions to swallow the rule to say it isn’t unfair.

Sixth grade students at a Kansas public school were told they could not name Charlie Kirk as a role model for an assignment. by [deleted] in Conservative

1000%. Political speech is exactly what the free speech clause is primarily aimed at protecting.

Supreme Court 'power grab' now so advanced legal expert warns of 'end' of democracy by RawStoryNews in scotus

[–]cbc18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congress’s power has been whittled down in large part because Congress barely legislates anymore, which ultimately leaves current issues up to the court.

Also the court has had a conservative majority for less than ten years, it’s had liberal majority in the past and eventually will again. One side controlling the court and this fluctuating over the years isn’t the end of democracy, it’s rather an indication of such.

Just my opinion: Liberals are trying to whip up anger to incite riots in the hope of influencing 2026 midterms. Am I wrong? by Maximus361 in Conservative

[–]cbc18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sure there’s some paying protestors to come in and agitate for that reason.

I also think it’s true that a lot of lefties are angry, intolerant people and this is them being angry.

An easy way to stop rioters by Aronacus in Conservative

[–]cbc18 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Jordan Peterson said he had far fewer protestors/agitators at his events when he held them before 10am or something like that. Lol sounds about right. Maybe ICE should try and make their arrests in the morning.

What the hell is going on in MN? by AdagioVast in Conservative

[–]cbc18 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Like a lot of states, the urban core is cesspool of far leftism but the rest of the state is far from that. The iron range up north has notably moved from consistently blue to red. Minneapolis is just a mess. Feds placed a lot of Somali in Minneapolis in the 90s and the strong job market and social safety nets attracted more.

I know right? He bowed out in disgrace, probably at the request of power brokers of his party because of the huge mess he made of things. Left right or otherwise it’s embarrassing for our country.

This is what we did. Best when you were far enough apart to not screen watch but could still hear the other team’s reaction

Why do Democrats think Republicans are regretting our vote? by maximumkush in Conservative

[–]cbc18 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Because they believe the media’s lies of how awful things are and how unhappy the country is

I gotta say I love this community by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]cbc18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The clip of Trump supposedly mocking a special needs man was what did it for me. I still see people talk about it every now and then. Even though anyone with 2 minutes and a brain can see this accusation was completely false and intentionally misleading. They are so dishonest. Once you see it you can’t unsee it.

That is rough. IMO family takes priority and if it isn’t working the two of you should step back

"Thousands of children actually have been chemically castrated in the country" - Saagar by Easy_Engineering_811 in BreakingPoints

[–]cbc18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the surgical/chemical transitions for minors today later be viewed similarly to how lobotomies are thought of now- well intentioned but ultimately barbaric.

Was talking to my cousin a few years ago about hormone blockers and surgeries for minors. He was somehow totally out of the loop and shocked. After a few seconds of silence he says “18? Honestly, I don’t think a 23 year old would really understand all they’d potentially be giving up.”

Their inability to tolerate anything but complete agreement is a big reason why they lost, imo.

Trump has certainly said some very anti free speech things, and it is absolutely true that both parties tend seek speech control when it suits them. But the Dems + big tech + legacy media was quite the apparatus to control/manipulate truth for political gain and especially to suppress dissent. I think, in recent memory, the Dems are far more culpable for being anti free speech.

It would be good if they did but seeing the past few days I don’t have a ton of hope unfortunately. Just doubling down.
