ChiGoose Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 5 minutes ago, JaCrispy said: Can you give specifics of the things you don’t like? I might agree with you, while still considering myself to be MAGA Not OP, but I generally reject any form of politics that puts regular people against each other, something naturally inherent in nationalism. It’s fine to dislike politicians, elites, media, political parties, etc. but when you start labeling groups of your fellow Americans as “the other,” it creates an “us vs them” dynamic that leads to dehumanization, polarization, and increases the likelihood of violence. A good example of this is the Hindu Nationalism popularized by the BJP and Narenda Modi in India. Saying that large groups of your fellow countrymen are not true members of the country or are inferior is a bad thing and can have very negative consequences. Defining some people as “true Americans” inherently defines other Americans as not truly American simply for being different. This is an unfortunately a popular aspect of MAGA. Even the name belies a definitional disagreement on who is important: with nostalgic callbacks to post-war America seemingly centered on the perspective of middle class white American males. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like to use the word hate but I have dis liked the guy long before he was in politics. I don’t need any media company telling me to like him or not, I can think for myself and I’m sure there are plenty of other people can think for themselves. Trump is an insult to humanity, just cause some punk took a pot shot at him and decided on suicide by cop doesn’t change that. Wrong Just, wrong. And, I'd add, this is society-ending psychosis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roundybout Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 3 minutes ago, CarpetCrawler said: Why? Society is always progressing. The "line is always going up," so to say. Conservatives, and the MAGA ideology especially, have decided that America was better off somewhere in the myriad past and are trying to replicate it. It's a foolish endeavor.

JaCrispy Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 15 minutes ago, Roundybout said: For one, we are on the cusp of incredible advances in green energy. Incredible reductions in carbon, massive new capacity for solar energy, cutting-edge research in battery storage, and so forth. The conservative response is to fight it tooth and nail and demand we return to coal. For god's sakes, Candice Owens is now out there making videos denying DINOSAURS existing! Fair enough… I’m not even going to pretend to know much about the topic, to be able to respond… All I can say is there are political motivations on both sides for why certain stances are taken… I find it hard to believe that anyone would be against advancements in technology that would help the ecology of the planet… I suppose the question then becomes ‘At what cost?’ and ‘what is the most efficient balance that will achieve the goal of ecological technological advancement and maintaining our modern way of life?’ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard this before and any American who would say some Americans are more American than others, I could not disagree with more… If you are person who has come here legally, and gone through the process to become a citizen (learning the laws, studying the history), you are just as much an American, to me, as someone whose family has been here for centuries… But I just want to be clear, though, I do not support amnesty, or a path to citizenship, where people have come here illegally, and are rewarded by “leap frogging” foreigners who have applied for citizenship the legal way…👍 Edited July 15 by JaCrispy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) Meanwhile back at the real thread OH, and yeah, the shooter donated to Biden himself.. On his inauguration day. Again, probably NOT something a Republican would do. Pennsylvania is a closed primary state which means it's not uncommon for people to switch parties in the primaries so they can stick the other party with a candidate they think they can beat. Of course, we can't say for certain this is what Crooks did, but considering we know for a fact many Democrats did want Oz to run against Fetterman ... well, it makes more sense than some Republican voter donating a bunch of money to Democrats including Biden and then OH YEAH, trying to kill the GOP nominee. Just sayin'. https://twitchy.com/samj/2024/07/14/thomas-cooks-gunman-not-so-fast-n2398352 Edited July 15 by B-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
