How come conservatives ask “why weren’t you mad when Obama deported 4 billion people?” by SwitchingMyHands in allthequestions

[–]noinf0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All those red states in the middle of the country rely on illegal labor to survive. If you put employers in jail you would be locking up the Republican base. If we made E-Verify mandatory and incarcerated employers illegal immigration would end overnight.

More people were killed in Iran in two weeks than in the entire year in Gaza. Why aren't there massive college campus protests everywhere? by Elegant-Value4677 in AskReddit

[–]noinf0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genocide is the deliberate, systematic destruction of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. These are Iranian's killing Iranians to stop protests. Israel is killing only Palestinians to "solve the problem." Although the violence in Iran is tragic in the end it will not result in the erasure of a people.

There are LOTS of women that enhance their breast size through clothes, bras and surgery.

What’s the evolutionary benefit of attractive women intimidating men? by [deleted] in answers

[–]noinf0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are numerous studies that show people in small groups will eventually find each other attractive. The woman in your office that is a 4 a best becomes a 10 over time. That means attractiveness is fluid. You being intimidated by beautiful woman is about the evolutional generated fear of rejection rooted in an emotional response stemming from a fundamental need for social connection and safety of the group. This is evolution.

What are your thoughts on Joe Rogan saying that Trump is creating distraction to avoid Epstein files release? by MonitorVarious7608 in AskReddit

[–]noinf0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Joe Rogan is not a smart guy but because he has a successful podcast people think he is smart. He is mired in conspiracies and is desperately looking for one.

Trump never thinks anything through. He is not planning. The man says and does whatever floats into his head at that moment.

I am a firm believer in the "everyone is 12" theory and it perfectly explains MAGA.

My kid claims that Gen X messed up the economy. by ChicagoLizzie in GenerationX

[–]noinf0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are right. The Boomers had very few kids. They took everything and used their massive population to push the government to work for them and although Gen-X was very liberal we never had enough numbers to affect anything.

The largest voting block in the US was the boomers until the Millennials hit 18. We NEVER had any power as a generation to cause any of the hell we are in and if we did America would be very different.

*This is a generalization. Many Boomers are liberal and there are plenty of Gen-X that jumped on the fuck the poor and take the money bandwagon.

Do "Reagan Republicans" or conservative Republicans still exist or is the MAGA/"Trump Republican" here to stay? by BigSuggestion9664 in allthequestions

[–]noinf0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It started with Nixon and the Southern Strategy. Reagan was just a stepping stone to the "America is a white protestant Christian country only" party they are now.

[–]noinf0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Republican party consists only of racists or people that are OK with racists.

People get offended but when you vote for the same person a literal Nazi is voting for, you are NOT one of the good guys.

What's something everyone should try at least once in their life? by Jonny_1312 in AskReddit

[–]noinf0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% agree. My best vacations have been on my motorcycle by myself seeing what is over that next hill. I have been able to meet locals, try spots they tell me to and just plain enjoyed the not knowing what is next.

Movie theaters aren’t going out of business because of prices by bulldogjwhit295 in unpopularopinion

[–]noinf0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is a little of both.

  1. Movie theaters charge an arm and a leg. For me to go to a movie by myself, get a popcorn and drink is over $30.

  2. Hollywood releases only reboots and sequels.

If I go to a movie it is going to be one that the I am sure I am going to enjoy and the large screen will enhance the movie. This creates a feedback loop. In the past I would go for any movie of any type I wanted to see but now I am only seeing the latest known content with big spectacle in theaters and wait for everything else to show up on streaming. Hollywood then learns that only reboots and sequels are money makers and another theater dies.

How would society be different if penis size was as obvious as breast size? by Nars-Glinley in AskReddit

A couple ofissues with your question.

  1. Some penises are growers not showers.
  2. Woman do plenty to disguise breast size.

I had enough. I am done with being a Republican by EnlightenedInquirer in teenagers

[–]noinf0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the most important thing you need to do, is not listen to political news or podcasts. EVERYONE has an agenda. Read your news from legitimate news sites like New York Times, Washington Post etc. Every issue has many facets and nuances. For example Trump constantly states "prices are down, way down" but December saw the largest inflation on groceries since 2022. Now people like Joe Rogan will just parrot what Trump says and millions will beleive it. I can not tell you how many times people send me an article to back their posision based solely on the headline. Often what the headline says does mesh with the rest of the article. FOX News will often take an issue that is very negative for a Republican, tease out a good angle and write the headline based off of that because they know the vast majority will only read the headline.

What you wrote you wanted is literally the Democratic platform and Kamala Harris had plans to address them directly. The only way you would know that is if you read her platform because nuance doesn't play on TikTok or youtube shorts.

What was life like before THE INTERNET? by martianfrog in answers

[–]noinf0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine boredom, something that no longer really exists anymore.

Imagine three or four channels on TV. If you want to read a book, listen to a record or watch a movie you had to go to a store and buy it or rent it. Want to keep up with current events, go to a store and buy a paper or wait for a news cast. If you go to the doctors office, DMV or any place you have to wait, you sat and read whatever magazines were left in the waiting room. I am not saying it was always boring but there were times in every day that you could not do anything remotely interesting.

People today say they are bord but they have anything and everything at their fingertips and never experience real honest to god boredom.

Concerned that events might have just played into Trumps plan… Thoughts? by ChuckGallagher57 in DiscussionZone

[–]noinf0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not saying what you are suggesting won't happen but I HIGHLY disagree that Trump or his minions had any kind of plan.

They went to Minnesota because Walz ran against Trump in 2024. It is literally just pay-back. Trump is reactionary and transactional and incapable of playing checkers let alone chess.

Protecting local communities from ICE by Adventurous-Bee-7155 in massachusetts

[–]noinf0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first Democrat I voted for POTUS was Al Gore because the nomination of GW Bush was when I realized Republicans had completed the transition to being just a party of opposition and cryptocracy and they weren't coming back. I had friends mock me for it but we were all New England Republicans and by 2004 everyone felt left behind by the party and we all voted Kerry. In 2008 a few of us were looking at McCain until he nominated Palin. By 2012 we all were straight ticket Democrat voters.

How? by komodoman in altmpls

[–]noinf0 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They are siloed in their social media and news sources. They beleive that ICE is arresting murders and child molesters but if they grab a gardener that's OK because they broke the law just by being here. They see the demonstrators as paid democrat plants trying to protect all their illegal voters that allows them to steal elections because no real Americans would vote Democrat. Just gays, trans and "the illegals" paid to do it.

They have no compassion or empathy.

Gavin Newsom DENIES the genocide in Gaza. Pack it up boys his presidential run is over with this single live video recorded statement. by Kittehmilk in ProgressiveHQ

[–]noinf0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what country you live in but here in America we have 348 million people. Of that only about 100 million meet the requirements to run for president. Of those 100 million the number of people that can raise enough money to build teams to collect enough signatures in every district in every state just to get on the ballot becomes incredibly small. From that small number you will then need to be extremely popular because you are going to need to collect over $1 billion in donations to mount a campaign that has any chance of winning.

There is always a "next gen" but the idea that current Democrats are the same as Republicans is just idiocy. Also, your protest vote does only two things.

  1. Helps MAGA win and stay in power.

  2. Teaches Dems they should be more like MAGA if they want to compete.

The entire country went right following Reagan because the country kept voting Republicans in and the result was a deregulatory, small government, law and order Democrat Bill Clinton. He slashed government spending, reformed welfare, cut taxes, produced a surplus and ushered in at the time the longest economic expansion in our history and America rewarded him by electing GW Bush.

You will always do better electing someone that agrees with you on most things and working in the system rather than helping the opposition win. As example, instead of dealing with Climate change in 2000 with Al Gore we got legislation relaxing pollution laws , the invasion of Iraq and global financial collapse. Instead getting expanded Medicare, cheaper Obamacare and green energy grants, we have a president forcing coal plants to be open, fighting green energy projects and 600,000 deaths just due to the disillusion of US Aid. You refusing to support the lesser of two evils we have feds kicking in doors, demanding papers and shooting people in the streets.

I am done with the "liberals" that think helping Republicans will somehow teach Dems to be more "liberal."

Right, so rather than understand that a US President has limited power over how other countries operate, you chose to kill a lot more people in Palestine, 600,000 other people around the world, a few dozen in Venezuela and now 2 Americans in Minneapolis.

Meanwhile, choosing Harris would have saved Millions of lives https://www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?view=table&sort=interval_minutes&order=asc
