Yes actually we’ve been trying to tell the turbonormies that the Democrat party is exclusively for retarded brown foreigners now, thanks for helping us clear it up for them
Imagine if Trump was actually conducting mass deportations and fighting rising socialism in America, instead of spending 99% of his administration’s time on a war in Iran.
It's pretty obvious at this point that being right-wing boils down to observing reality and stating it plainly
Leftism is the denial of reality in service of delusional utopian fantasies, peak retardation, and degeneracy
Socialists love humanity in general but hate human beings in particular.
They vote for politicians who campaign on environmentalism, while destroying their own cities.
They campaign on universal basic incomes while producing nothing of value, stealing from the rich, and concentrating wealth in the hands of the few.
They advocate for human rights, while enacting policies that systematically erode the freedoms they claim to defend.
They present themselves as champions of freedom, tolerance and equality, but ferociously censor and persecute all political opposition.
They speak of universal rights while disregarding the concrete, everyday rights of their fellow citizens.
Everything is an abstraction.
Everything is performative.
They are destroyers.
Believing that "people wouldn't do crimes if their basic needs were met" while also believing that "greedy rich people are stealing from everyone" never registers to the people who say this shit as inherently contradictory.
@JamieMetzl I’m gonna say this is kindly as I can. What did you guys think would happen when you kept voting for a party bringing in millions and millions of new residents who hate you? How did you expect that to go?
FDR is the most overrated president in American history and it is not close.
People treat him like a saint. The reality is he inherited a recession and turned it into the longest depression in the history of the developed world. Every other major economy on earth recovered faster than the United States did under FDR. Sit with that. We had the most resources, the most industry, the most capacity, and we recovered slower than countries that got bombed.
Unemployment was still 19% in 1938. Six years into the New Deal. Six years of "bold experimentation" and one in five Americans still could not find work.
Why? Because his policies were economically illiterate. The NIRA cartelized entire industries and made it illegal to lower prices during a deflationary collapse. He paid farmers to slaughter livestock and plow under crops while people stood in bread lines. He launched a war on business so aggressive that investment dried up because nobody knew what insane rule was coming next. Even his own Treasury Secretary, Henry Morgenthau, admitted in 1939 that they had spent enormous sums and "it does not work" and that unemployment was as high as when they started.
Then in 1937 his policies triggered a second brutal crash so embarrassing the textbooks gave it its own polite little nickname, the "Roosevelt Recession," so they would not have to attach his name to the failure in the obvious way.
A UCLA study in 2004 concluded the New Deal prolonged the Great Depression by roughly seven years. Seven years of extra suffering sold to you as heroism.
So what actually saved the economy? Not the alphabet agencies. Not the fireside chats. A world war. Twelve million men shipped overseas and the entire planet's industrial competition reduced to rubble. That is the "recovery." That is the legacy.
Strip away Pearl Harbor and FDR is a guy who took a bad recession and stretched it into a decade of misery with bad economics and a cult of personality. He is not ranked on results. He is ranked on the luck of being in the chair when Hitler invaded Poland.
Greatest marketing job in the history of the presidency. Nothing more.
Three years ago, Jennifer Lawrence tried to revive the sex comedy with No Hard Feelings.
Some complained that the premise, parents paying a woman to sleep with their son, felt like grooming. Probably the same crowd who once howled at a teenager shagging a pie.
Imagine having to explain to George Washington that America can’t prevent illegal aliens from voting in our elections because a foreign born judge called ‘Sparkle Sooknanan’ said so.
The opinion is dripping with judicial activism. Even phrases like “[t]his Court cannot stand idly by.” That’s not how judging works. You decide the cases in front of you—you don’t decide whether you dislike a policy enough to discard your oath of office.
