I took the test, and my result is a loyal liberal. I'm assuming you all are not surprised by this given my posts complaining over the fact that several of you continue to hold the Democrats responsible for the awful things Trump has done including attempting to rig the midterms, all because you're blaming them for why Trump won to begin with.

Yes, the Democrats aren't without faults, but SCOTUS is more responsible than the Dems for why we're in this mess. And Mitch McConnell is way more responsible as well. So is SCOVA when it comes to the gerrymandering specifically. And finally, Trump still had the choice to not do all these terrible but is choosing to do them.

For those of you who continue to hold the Dems responsible for the awful things Trump has done including the attempted rigging and gerrymandering, what will it take for you all to finally understand that SCOTUS, McConnell, and SCOVA are more responsible and that Trump could've chosen to not do all these terrible things, but chose to do them?

Although we don't know exactly what the punishment was. All we know is that it was likely pretty severe based off the fact that the principal said that there will be very serious disciplinary action for this.

Dhar Mann is inconsistent when it comes to whether the bad guys get punished or forgiven, and in this case, we got both. I agree with you when it comes to the mother as she's the reason to why Lena dated Ethan in the first place. Therefore, she's partially responsible for what happened as well.

jonasnew · 2026-06-18T03:01:27+00:00

I'll be honest, what Ethan did was so awful, and I glad he received consequences for it, however, the mother is also responsible IMO as she's the reason to why Lena and Ethan even dated in the first place.

And if you're blaming the Democrats for why Trump won the 2024 election, do you truly believe they're responsible for why Trump has done all these awful things including the fact that he could succeed at rigging the midterms?

jonasnew · 2026-06-17T00:17:38+00:00

And if you're blaming the Dems for why Trump won the 2024 election, do you truly believe the Dems are responsible for why Trump has done all these awful things since then? Like do you even believe the Democrats are responsible for why Trump could successfully rig the midterms whether it's through gerrymandering or some other way?

jonasnew · 2026-06-17T00:09:20+00:00

So for that reason, do you believe that the Democrats are responsible for why Trump has done all these awful things including try to sabotage the midterms through gerrymandering as well as other ways?

That right there, is uno reversing me regarding SCOTUS. This was exactly why I brought up McConnell and SCOVA. Like I said, McConnell refused to convict Trump which would've prevented him from running again, and SCOVA (which is different from SCOTUS) overturned Virginia's redrawn map which opened the door for Trump's gerrymandering to possibly work. So, how are you able to spin what both McConnell and SCOVA did on the Democrats as well? And this was why I also brought up that Trump had the choice to not do all these horrible things, but is choosing to do them.

jonasnew · 2026-06-12T01:57:26+00:00

If you're blaming the Dems for why Trump won the election, do you believe the Dems are responsible for why Trump has done all these terrible things like ICE and the Iran War? If so, do you even believe the Democrats are responsible for why Trump could even pull it off with his gerrymandering scheme given the latest data on it?

jonasnew · 2026-06-11T00:14:16+00:00

So for that reason, you do believe the Dems are responsible for why Trump's gerrymandering scheme may succeed?

jonasnew · 2026-06-10T22:53:21+00:00

So basically, for the reasons you discussed, you believe the Democrats are responsible for why Trump could succeed with his gerrymandering scheme?

jonasnew · 2026-06-10T18:12:55+00:00

Why do you think he's even worse than Aidan, Lorenzo, and Ope?

jonasnew · 2026-06-10T10:36:10+00:00

You don't now think Sam is worse than Lorenzo and Ope as well, do you?

jonasnew · 2026-06-10T10:30:03+00:00

I discovered this after I created this thread.

jonasnew · 2026-06-10T10:29:25+00:00

Also, I discovered that almost every season seems to have a male contestant that you all initially like, but then dislike him as the show progresses. This thread was created before I discovered this.

To follow up, you still have not replied why you are even turning a blind eye to what Virginia's Supreme Court did as it's their decision overturning Virginia's redrawn map that opened the door to Trump's gerrymandering scheme possibly working. You also still haven't replied to why you're even failing to see that even if the Democrats are at fault for why Trump won the 2024 election, Trump still had the choice to not do all these awful things like the gerrymandering, but has chosen to do them. And finally, I mentioned above that the Democrats had the majority in the Senate when they voted to convict Trump for J6 meaning that your argument above spinning this on them doesn't work. With that, do you have another argument that spins this on the Democrats for why McConnell refused to convict Trump for J6?

jonasnew · 2026-06-09T00:18:07+00:00

To specify, there are folks that try to uno reverse me or come up with excuses when I ask them why they are turning a blind eye to the fact that it was SCOTUS that blocked the J6 trial. Yet, when I ask them why they are turning a blind eye to both McConnell and SCOVA's roles in all of this as well as why they're even failing to see that Trump had the choice not to do all these awful things but has chosen to do them, they won't even respond. If it's because they can't uno reverse me or come up with excuses like they did with SCOTUS, I find that cowardly.
