Centrist Dem who's favorite holiday is "pride month": I think trans sports is a bad issue for us
Leftists: you are literally Adolf Hitler
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Down with the ZOG machine poisoning the minds of our sons with transsexualism
Leftists: wow... I hate Israel too!
Much of Trump’s domestic economic policy is fully aligned with Bernie Sanders. Horseshoe theory yet again.
If we cap interest rates at 10% then we’ll reduce the supply of credit to borrowers, and people who need credit will not get it or go to unregulated sources (loan sharks etc)
Credit cards are actually a good vehicle for financial inclusion in the US; credit invisibles get a card, build credit and eventually qualify for an auto then home loan. This plan kneecaps them from building credit and it’s so frustrating that people buy this populist BS.
Every post of a released Palestinian on here has a caption like “he’s spent 20 years torn away from his family” and then a quick Google search reveals he blew up a school bus.
Charlie's "gun deaths" quote is just a perfect example of the low and trashy nature of the average person's thought process. The average person hears the out of context bit about "accepting gun deaths" and thinks "WAOW. He sed dat and den died from a gun. Dis gives me dopamine tingle and makes me feel smart. He was bad and I'm more gooder than him."
Anyone with critical thinking skills could have imagined what was actually said in context, namely, that any technology or tool or practice we employ in society carries an inherent risk, and some people will inevitably fall victim to that risk. Having industrial machinery means someone, somewhere will get hurt in industrial accidents. Having highways means people will die on them. Etc.
Saying this out loud feels excruciating, because it should be so patently obvious as to be above explanation. Yet there are millions of people who just take the dopamine tingle and are either unwilling or unable to internally think it through on their own. Those same people also won't understand even after having it explicitly spelled out for them.
Charlie Kirk, whatever you think of him, was probably smarter than the vast majority of people, and not because he was some super-genius. No. He was mostly just quick on his feet and a good speaker.
Charlie Kirk was smarter than the vast majority of people because the average person is just much stupider than we would like to believe.
According to Netanyahu and other sources, Trump had full prior knowledge of Israel’s attack and gave it his blessing while pretending to be negotiating with the Iranians as a cover.
If this is true, then the US is already at war with Iran as we facilitated an aggressive sneak attack by our “proxy”
with our weapons.
Tucker Carlson (who I trust a hell of a lot more than Netanyahu) told Steve Bannon that he knows for a fact that this isn’t true. He claims that Witkoff and Trump were negotiating in good faith and wanted to avoid this war and reach an agreement.
If this is true, Trump is the most impotent bitch of a leader imaginable. He’s allowing one side of a war, who clearly wants to drag us in, to lie about our involvement while not correcting the record.
Either way, Trump has betrayed MAGA and every principle of America First. He is no longer worthy of any of our support. He probably never was.
The thing about this image is that it’s an 80-20 issue that Dems simply handed to Trump and the right to appease some extreme activists.
It’s about as easy of a win as there is in politics.
