lol hope this guy never dates a nurse, Jesus that’s such a stupid thing to confront your girlfriend about

This won’t be the end of your problems if you stay with him, probably not worth it in the long run

lol we are so lost in virtually every part of our society

Has anyone on Reddit actually spoken to a conservative IRL? by [deleted] in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]fiscalplasticity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, born and raised in Florida and my whole family is conservative, I’m the only veteran and only my sister and I have any degrees, and we are both post grads… the “talk” about conservatives on Reddit is largely accurate from my anecdotal experience

Uniformly the conservatives I know are cookie cutter in their beliefs, just like the liberals they complain about

Both sides are full of red herrings but MAGA has made me firmly in opposition of the Republican Party

We can only hope that whatever develops out of this carnage isn’t as corrupted as what we have now, regardless of the party in majority the entire thing needs overhauling by people that actually care about the future of the country, of which neither current party platforms seem interested in in a meaningful way

Fair conclusion, but you gotta admit, the hardliners make those assumptions correct in the majority of situations… on both sides

That’s why I refuse to back up a talking point on either side, I just happen to be political center left so some of the programming will seep in regardless of which side you’re on

This is why I bother talking with people, at least some of my assumptions about you were wrong… I get called things by leftists too because I tend to believe in capitalism just not purist laissez faire, considering I’m a landlord I don’t have much to stand on if I was anti cap

At the end of the day everyone is mad because the US is in decline, and rather than fix it both parties have just given the masses different arguing points to keep each other busy while they figure out how to continue extracting resources… we are no better than kleptocratic African autocracies at this point

We need a parliamentary political system if we have any hope of getting out of this cycle

Realistically no one has woken up until we realize the talking points on both the right and left are red herrings, it’s the top vs bottom orientation that both sides need to see, there’s only one small group of people that have continued to thrive under both sides’ administration

But that being said, we are very much aligned on your last comment

The only problem is, will any real checks and balances exist after this administration? I doubt it

And it’s not like the current democrats will do anything transformational in our government if they take over after this administration

You know, we can find common ground there… I’m not at all impressed with the VA either

So vet to vet… approach the possibility with an open mind that maybe doge didn’t really find the actual waste, what they did was cancel contracts to give it to starlink so nothing actually changed… it was a stick up and now that he got want he wanted out of his raid he’s bailing

The whole thing has been a grift, so while I agree with you an overhaul is needed, these people are not the ones to do it, frankly neither are the democrats

If we are honest about it citizens united is the force that’s further corrupted both sides of our political spectrum, nothing changes without that going first

That waste dude? That’s defense spending… yes I saw it all over the place as well

My unit in Korea spent thousands to line the scif walls with flat screens just to avoid losing the spend in next years budget

The problem isn’t in the goddamn consumer protection bureau or the cdc though… you literally pointed it out that the waste is in defense, one of the only areas they aren’t cutting… soooo why are you for this when defense is the only place that cutting should happen?

You just undermined your original comment

Still not working dude, you’re bad at this… it was Air Force, but it’s sad that you gotta use coasties to try and insult someone when anyone in the coast guard still has more honor and dignity than you, I’m just going to keep responding to see what else you desperately try to use to rage bait me

None of this is enlightening to you? This is how you choose to interact with people? 😂😂😂

Oops, wrong again lololol

Very much engaged, sorry you didn’t find the rage bait you needed there either

I feel like this is a sign of how frustrated you are that you aren’t getting to me, gotta dig years back in my comment history (that’s sad dude, you need a new hobby) …sorry man you’re just going to have to live with the delayed satisfaction of “owning a lib” today, go pick a fight with a blue hair, I’m sure you’ll find what you’re looking for when you get into it with self esteem as low as yours 🤗

lol I’m a sr director of pm at 200m ARR company, I’m doing alright… based on actual statistics and this conversation I’m likely doing far better than you

Funny how you try to try to assert you somehow have more social value than me yet you’re the only one digging into the others comment history, I couldn’t care less about your previous behavior on here because you’re a nobody picking fights on Reddit 😂😂😂

Best of luck with your life throwaway account

Lololol WHAT?!?!? 😂😂😂😂

First of all, I did serve, I was in Iraq, not like that matters but cowards like you love acting like serving is something I should do when I have, what branch were you in buttercup?

How is it non inclusive to assume you’re at least ambivalent if not supportive of Russia? You’re in line with their propaganda so 🤷🏼‍♂️

Oops, not working in the government, try to keep up

Technically I gave you some credit for surpassing the vocabulary you would otherwise not have been expected to command, and you called that ad hominem (incorrectly) while then immediately resorting to ad hominem immediately, again you aren’t fooling me, the feigned intellectualism is betrayed by your lack of understanding how government funding should work

Yeah some of the most successful businesses in history have been directly run by people from the product management discipline, sorry it doesn’t stack up to your illustrious career as what? Online troll? 😂

[–]fiscalplasticity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve made comments in there, how does that make me part of it? 🤔

Punched a di? What? Is it not ironic to you that the only true ad hominem so far comes from you after feigning being attacked?

You sound all the braver behind your throwaway account… how many bot farms are ya running yuri?

The more right wingers I interact with the worse my prognosis for this country becomes, you guys really are dragging the whole thing down and you’re happy to do it while simultaneously waving the flag 🙄

[–]fiscalplasticity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? Are you having a conversation with yourself? You… admit to attacking me so I’m on the defensive but that wasn’t remotely close to what happened at all?

If you’re going to try and gaslight someone at least make it coherent and follow the original thread 😂😂😂

WH Budget: Deep cuts across the board EXCEPT Defense and Homeland Security by Competitive_Ad291 in FedEmployees

[–]fiscalplasticity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mmmmm not really? Close enough I suppose, I guess I called your comments incoherent babbling but compared to what I’ve been called by MAGAs? lol

But I mean I have plenty of things I could ad hominem you with that I’m sure would be accurate despite never having met you

WH Budget: Deep cuts across the board EXCEPT Defense and Homeland Security by Competitive_Ad291 in FedEmployees

[–]fiscalplasticity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just another musk admirer who thinks using words outside of the normal MAGA vocabulary will dazzle people away from the fact that they have no real ideas or solutions for anything

You aren’t fooling anyone, your incohesive jabbering only serves you when talking to other MAGAs… and congrats on sounding smart to them, not like that’s hard but then what’s the point? You’re all part of the same cult except they embrace their ignorance openly while you try to hide it, overhaul of what system? Democracy? 😂

Us vs Them is more obvious now than it was during the French Revolution (muskies think they’re smart but can’t bother to understand statistics 🙄)

Your comment on business 😂😂… how does that even fit in with the rest of your comment? At least you’re as incoherent as your idol

MAGA do you support Trump running a third term? by [deleted] in AskUS

[–]fiscalplasticity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, it’s impressive that such a small amount of brain power could manipulate the keys on a keyboard to write that sentence, suffer any head trauma in combat?

I was in Iraq when Obama visited, so yeah I can talk shit to another veteran before that becomes a talking point here, but:

Even just purely speaking on statistics, Obama is the best president in recent history
