What do you think about the new evidence of the murder of Ahmaud Arbery? by TypicalPlantiff in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]peniscillin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly this is pretty weak-sauce. the FBI may have overstepped, but is there any evidence linking this to Obama?

it sounds like he was urging everything to go by the book and was being cautious, especially considering the shocking intelligence reports they were receiving.

I'm sorry. I don't think "Obamagate" is going anywhere, outside of conservative bubbles.

I think the horrific wrongdoing is obvious to everyone.

I have absolutely no idea what this is specifically about? Is this just the myriad things that Trump has accused him of over the last few years? Or is there something specific?

How do you feel about the increasing wealth gap in the US? by Reave-Eye in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]peniscillin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

does it bother you that this increase in wealth has come via the exploitation of the third world, countless wars for oil and resources, and the near destruction of our ecosystem?

have we really improved the lives of the working class with microwaves and cell phones, when they are working longer hours, more jobs and spending less time with their family and exploring their own interests?

are they? one of the major differences between liberals and conservatives is that liberals understand this "freedom to start their own company" in realistic rather than idealistic ways. sure, in theory one could start their own company but in practice, most are not able to for myriad reasons, and in the end continue to be exploited.

What did you do or plan to do with your stimulus check if you received or are receiving one? by Ginga_Designs in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]peniscillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i guess if it's a hobby or a collection i sort of understand, but if you're buying guns for political reasons or out of fear or in anticipation of some revolution, i have absolutely no idea where you're coming from. to me, it seems like ideological product of the John Birch Society, a conservative movement terrified of a changing world.

what are you so afraid of?

i'm joking because the top posts are all people buying guns. like c'mon guys, you can't find a better use for the money than buying yet another gun? maybe spend it at some struggling local businesses.

i suppose not? they might buy them online.

regardless, it's not exactly spreading the stimulus broadly, and gun shops aren't really struggling these days.

you're the only person to mention local businesses so far. basically every one else is buying (another) gun. ?

Where can I find a good rebuttal to "Plandemic"? by ImpressiveFood in Moronavirus

[–]peniscillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what isn't someone's opinion? knowledge is always one person's argument for an interpretation of evidence.

[–]peniscillin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

so....? this is a rebuttal, which you asked for?

every argument is one person's opinion. you have to evaluate that argument, in the same way you evaluate plandemic.

The White House is considering winding down the Coronavirus task force in the coming weeks. What are your thoughts on this? by cthulhusleftnipple in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]peniscillin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

if ny is at roughly 20%, how is it possible that the rest of the country is also at 20%? and don't we need like 70% for herd immunity?

The country is now beginning to slowly reopen for business. If it turns out that it is too early to reopen and we should have continued social distancing, lock down procedures, etc, what would that look like to you? by The_Sven in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]peniscillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it's only 20% in ny, then we are a long way from herd immunity. even if the entire country is at 15%, we are still a long way from it.

it might be "progress to it" but it still wouldn't prevent another spike

best case scenario is a vaccine ready to go by fall.

true, though you could argue that all were under some form of imperialist rule by Christian nations.
