@ricwe123 "It's easier to fool a man, than to convince him he's been fooled". Basic human nature. None of us want to admit we've been taken in. So the instinct is to double down when confronted with evidence that one has, indeed, been fooled. IMO that explains the remaining MAGA hardliners
@RecchoRewards More managing the narrative. If communism were the only alternative to the system we have in place, he might have a point. But what we have is failing the vast majority of the population, so we must look for alternative systems. Elon thinks his vast wealth means he's wise.
@Cal68So16542@AzPetrich Wait, you're saying we have the best system because rich people come here for health care? Tell you what, I don't care much about rich people from other countries, but I do care a lot about all us peons here in the USA.
@Snoow_Ball_06 First it's "she", now it's "he". Must be written by one of those super-intelligent, gonna-replace-us-all AIs we've been hearing so much about. 🤡
@BitcoinSapiens “If any of the things that we’ve said are true"... there's the rub, right there.
Quite apart from whether these tech bros really believe their own intellectual drivel, there is the well-known fact that theory and reality always -- *always* -- diverge.
@WhiteHouse Well hell, dude, no other Country in the World, of consequence, fails to have universal health insurance. Or has daily mass shootings and just shrugs it off. Or jails as high a percentage of its populace as the US. And since when did you care what other countries do anyway???
@iranidaturan@SecRubio@marklevinshow@POTUS "This is not a normal government. It doesn’t play by any rules, and it doesn’t care about looking good or ethical." Wait, what government are we talking about here?
@Idontgive2u If this went on for several weeks before you took action, my question is, What took you so long? Adults in positions of authority should never tolerate such behavior. Too bad if the parents don't like it -- they are the root of the problem: the apple didn't fall far from the tree
@mtaibbi "Why would Democrats inherently prefer to vote by mail?" Let's ask it the other way around: "Why would Republicans inherently prefer not to vote by mail?" Well, Trump has repeatedly claimed vote by mail is a disaster. Apparently his words have been effective with his own base.
@mtaibbi "It would never have entered my head...". Sorry, that is not a rational basis for argument. Your opinion is just that, an opinion. The one making the claim is the one who needs to show evidence. So if your claim is that vote-by-mail increases fraud, please, show us your evidence
@EricLDaugh Uh-huh. In the meantime, the world looks to be plunged into a global depression if this goes on much longer - which will result in hundreds of millions of people around the world plunged into poverty and starvation. IOW - it's us who will ultimately pay for Trump's war of choice.
