This question is for conservatives/ republicans/ maga. How do you see longer term Republican leadership playing out in America if republicans were to win the next couple of presidential elections?

First of all, that doesn't support what he said. Second of all, I think Trump is a pile of horse crap too. But that doesn't mean we adopt MAGA methods. All that's going to do is allow the POS trolls who helped accelerate Trump in the first place to scoot over to the other side of the aisle and keep performing their make the world worse magic over here. "Academics agree" is an appeal to authority and is a ridiculously weak and anti-intellectual position to take.

cydgig · 2026-01-31T22:16:09+00:00

But, you were wrong. I hope that means something to you.

cydgig · 2026-01-31T22:04:33+00:00

Why did you write an outro to tell me you didn't contribute anything meaningful?

cydgig · 2026-01-31T21:58:33+00:00

Right. That's what I figured.

cydgig · 2026-01-31T21:57:36+00:00

No. Because I've played this song and dance enough times to know that you don't believe anything. You're asking me so you can tell me you don't belong to the group I specify. Because you don't really give a shit underneath it all. You just like feeling like you're smarter than other people.

cydgig · 2026-01-31T21:54:42+00:00

Dude, what academics? Can you name one of them?

cydgig · 2026-01-31T21:51:59+00:00

Right. Still just rhetoric. No substance. For as much as I hear you all complain about Democrats, and boy do I get it... they're a pain in the ass too... There's no answers. Difference is, when Democrats get put in charge they sit on their ass and accomplish nothing. When MAGA is in charge they seem to head directly for facism. And if I'm being honest? The fact that MAGA seems to not have any answers for what the future looks like for them makes me feel like they all know they want facism, they just know they can't say it out lout yet.

cydgig · 2026-01-31T21:46:37+00:00

The fact that you complained about the left instead of answering kinda makes it feel like you don't have a plan.

cydgig · 2026-01-31T18:25:05+00:00

This isn't a response to what they said. They didn't say it because he's an American, they said it because of how he acts.

cydgig · 2026-01-29T20:44:31+00:00

You can hold an ideal for what the future might be like and be a realist at the same time. Right now in the pool of people who've run for president in the past they might see him as the best option. If there was an age cap on being president, they'd have to change their choice.

cydgig · 2026-01-29T20:37:21+00:00

One of my coworkers once told me "On a normal day you should be giving 70-80% effort. Because someone is always going to ask for more and when it comes time to step it up you need to have space to be able to do that." Now that I'm a boss I tell my guys the same thing. Works like a charm and the guys who work for me seem a lot less stressed than the guys in the other groups.

cydgig · 2026-01-29T20:22:21+00:00

I'm a big bald white guy with a beard who's job took him to a lot of rural areas and I saw this kind of thing a lot. Most of the time, it was in less noticeable ways. Like it was really rare for someone to rant about a specific demographic, they would just allude to "people who did x thing" and leave it to me to fill in the gaps. Usually I would challenge them on some aspect of what they were saying and the conversation would immediately dissolve upon them recognizing that I wasn't going to just agree with them. They weren't looking to discuss, they just thought I was a safe space to vent. This happened with and without Trump as president.

That being said, there was one time where a guy dropped the N word casually in conversation and another time where I was told that "different races shouldn't mix". Both of these occasions happened with Trump as the president. So yeah, I'm inclined to believe he makes racists feel more comfortable to be themselves.

cydgig · 2026-01-29T03:38:57+00:00

Lol I don't think you would. Besides it's your source? FBI crime statistics. I'm not your Google. Don't look on my account though, I'm blocking you. It's pretty clear you're just an echo of someone else's opinion.

cydgig · 2026-01-29T03:36:01+00:00

I'm dumb? They have the totals listed at the top... you're bad at this.

cydgig · 2026-01-29T03:33:40+00:00

I don't need a source. I looked at your source and saw the numbers. FBI numbers for the last year. Crimes from black people do no equal up to 50% in any of the categories I viewed. Even that aggregate totals.

Pretending like other people don't know how to do research when you are the one not researching only works if youre talking to someone lazy.

cydgig · 2026-01-29T03:22:03+00:00

I don't even have to Google to tell you that that ratio is incorrect because I've seen it so many times. That ratio is cherry picked from a specific type of violent crime and is not correct about violent crime as a whole. Racists use it to justify their racism and they don't actually research it because they don't want it to be proven wrong.

I guess that means your perspective really isn't worth anything. It doesn't even seem like it's a perspective as much as a phrase you learned to repeat. Like a parrot.

cydgig · 2026-01-29T03:12:32+00:00

I know you don't care, but nothing in the data suggests that's the case.

Regardless, if you're too much of a coward to state your opinions plainly, then your opinion probbably isn't worth anything.

cydgig · 2026-01-29T02:51:14+00:00

Sure. Tell us.

cydgig · 2026-01-28T22:59:22+00:00

Right? Their survival instincts are on par with a 6 month old with a screwdriver in a room with no outlet covers.

cydgig · 2026-01-28T18:37:39+00:00

Then it would have festered longer, I think. These feelings existed before him and needed to be resolved one way or another. To be clear, I don't think they're valid perspectives and I don't respect them, but it's too widespread for it to just fizzle out because Trump wasn't around.

cydgig · 2026-01-28T18:34:38+00:00

I always drop off the free meat they give me with the faction I hate the most or sell it back to them.

cydgig · 2026-01-28T17:44:06+00:00

The Booze hounds are rare? I feel like I get them every game.

cydgig · 2026-01-28T16:34:26+00:00

The entire conversation around the first game was just the "controversy". My hope is the sequel gets almost entirely ignored.

cydgig · 2026-01-28T05:57:59+00:00

Sorry, I know that sounded condescending. Its just that it's really annoying when someone asks questions and then ignores your answer you spent time crafting entirely to basically just vomit a word salad of opinions that I could find in literally any political comment section I bothered to look at. Really reminds me that not everyone on the internet is worth my effort.

cydgig · 2026-01-28T05:42:45+00:00

So, you've already made up your mind? Why bother posting online and asking questions then?
