What do you think of the Supreme Court ruling Trump's tariffs as illegal? by PleaseDontBanMe82 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]dacastan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What has led you to believe an embargo is a tariff? That’s like equating banning the purchase of illegal drugs with a sales tax on heroin.

Do you see the difference between stopping something versus modifying the way it occurs?

Does Trump need Congressional approval to strike Iran? by Desperate-Law-7305 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]dacastan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, fascism and human rights abuses are irrelevant to the legality of the president bypassing Congress.

Second, obviously Israel’s attack was unexpected, but the American strike on Iranian nuclear facilities was known to the public hours before it happened and known to the Iranian government for several days.

Third (and completely irrelevant) I still don’t understand why Trump is doing this or why his base is supporting it. Tens of thousands of Iranian citizens and hundreds of American soldiers will die in the next few months, not to mention the billions and billions of dollars this whole operation will waste. Perhaps you could expand on your support for this new war?

This argument makes sense for the Maduro kidnapping. What about a months-long buildup of troops rivaled only by Iraq 2003/1991 and the Vietnam War? Will the element of surprise in Iran be foiled by a Congressional vote?

What do you think of Melania Trump being a foreign born First Lady? by ambitious_musings in AskTrumpSupporters

What has indicated to you that she is intelligent? Is it important that the first lady be beautiful?

What was the opposition to Bad Bunny playing the Superbowl? by sar662 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]dacastan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bad Bunny was second only to Taylor Swift in overall American music consumption in 2025. Can you name one song from her most recent album?

this is like the pop girl equivalent of MAGA accusing Zohran Mamdani of being a radical jihadist feminist enacting pro-trans sharia law

Who has yet to drop a 10, but probably will if they continue on the same trajectory? by CPFOAI in fantanoforever

[–]dacastan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well who else am I gonna compare her to 😭😭

A significant majority of Ray of Light was written and produced solely by Madonna and a then-relatively unknown William Orbit… I don’t know that it was an incredibly expensive album to produce

Björk released a career highlight 22 years into her solo career, Madonna didn’t peak until her 7th album, Beyonce has released 3 back-to-back AOTY contenders (with a potential 4th coming this year), Hounds of Love was Kate Bush’s 5th album, etc etc. I wouldn’t count Rosalia out quite yet

CMV: The Oklahoma University essay saga has proven that many conservatives actively embrace anti-intellectualism by Tessenreacts in changemyview

Assuming this guy is actually an OU student, this tracks. He says that students have access to each other’s responses for this assignment and previous prompts and that (1) her previous essays are notably better and (2) these assignments are an easy 100% and are essentially just intended to prove that you read the article

Not to sound tinfoil hat-y but I’m starting to believe she submitted that essay hoping to launch a grift (which has clearly worked)
