Conspiracy theories are seldom logical at all.

Conspiracy theories about hypothetical pedophiles are a borderline criminal distraction from real anons fighting real pedophiles.

Sickos.

What’s weird is they aren’t racist and they are lesbians.
It confuses me.They have fallen for the whole Q conspiracy crap.
Somehow they must have been brainwashed.It’s the only explanation.
They are really nice people, caught a ride to the dispensary with them.Loaned me their truck when mine broke down and I had to pick a dog up from the vet.Always sharing their high shelf liquor, and good Cajun food.
Whenever they bring up Trump, I change the subject.Even if it means hollering out something like, “Look, there’s a three legged cow!!”
Even when there isn’t. :lol:

Someone disagrees with me they must be brainwashed. :roll:
So following that how’s it lie being brainwashed?

There hundreds of reasons to support trump
Biden’s open racist why do people support him?
Biden’s been accused of sexual assault and I've seen his supporters say “ I 100% think he did it but he’s not trump so that’s the sacrifice we have ti make.” By Sacrifice they mean throwing sexual assault and rape victims under the bus.

I can tell you right now conservatives and trump supports think it’s liberals who are brainwashed.
Doesn’t seem like a pleasant idea to just say those who disagree with you are brainwashed.

I think this nation needs a civil war so if only we can be united again. Maybe the world needs another nazi Germany to show us how much we have in common and there’s more important things then fighting with people who disagree with you politically.
People most of the world don’t have such luxuries.

Trump and Biden are both known sexual predators with histories of saying racist things, so people who are willing to vote for Biden are just choosing the less incompetent molester.

Biden so far doesn't appear to have any Katie Johnson stories waiting to emerge either.

It’s that they buy into the Q crap.Nor that they voted Trump.
Do you think Oprah,Obama,Hillary and Ellen are running an operation where they kidnap kids and torture them to get an extract from their adrenal glands to get high on?
I don’t like Biden either, I wanted Sanders.

Oprah is good presidential material and should have run - she's popular.

Almost no one is saying Biden is perfect. We’ve all seen the “creepy joe,” video clips. They’re saying they think he’s a better candidate because he will make reasonable rational governing decisions based on facts, math, human decency, and diplomacy - whereas trump has done the opposite and is completely destroying America at home and abroad.

The last bit is why people think right wing trump supporters are a danger to the nation and the world. You’ve been indoctrinated by right wing propaganda to the extent that you believe that the opposing political party and its voters ought to be punished by a Nazi Germany style genocide. That’s.. to phrase it in the nicest possible way; Not Healthy, sly.

Oprah is extremely hard working and self made, but the female POTUS I’d prefer to see is Michelle Obama. She has the required education & experience to navigate the job. Bonus to that is that Barack would make an amazing first First Gentleman. 8)

Or Harris, Warren or Bottoms.

^^
I don't know what it is about Mayor Bottoms that makes me think she isn't quite presidential material. Which isn't to say that I don't think she'd work like h3ll to do a good job, just. Not sure what it is. Mayor, yes. Governor, maybe. She just doesn't strike me as president.
Maybe the only reason that Warren or Harris seem more suited to the role is because I've only seen them on the national scene, not on a local or state level.
I also wanted Bernie to win.

I definitely don't think that's what we need, and would argue that it seems the majority of the US is more united right now than it has been in quite a long time.

Quote:

Definitely, definitely not.

Part of the problem, I think, is that what one side sees as a political disagreement, another side might experience as a crisis of human rights.

some of these people are here in the US and fighting for said human rights.

No rational person in a democracy would initiate genocide against their political opponents. There are probably a number of extremists who'd be happy to, judging by recent events in the US but are you saying that most GOPers would be happy to suspend the democratic process and install a Trumpian dictatorship?

What I have noticed, however, is that some GOP lawmakers are trying to make it more difficult for people of colour to register to vote. They are also attempting to gerrymander seats, or to recall popular Dem governors. This isn't exactly "genocide" - just an erosion of democracy, which is why they must be stopped come November.

That's a fun exercise. 10 positives about Donald Trump. I'll try to think from an American perspective, not just my own.

In no particular order, not necessarily top 10, just first ten to come to mind:

Not a warmonger.
Not an idiot with the lives of his troops like Obama, telling the World about military plans.
You can change his mind.
Support for freedom of speech.
Anti-PC.
Tax Cuts.
American Nationalist. (America first.)
Pre-virus, was breaking unemployment records.
If he thinks American money isn't supporting American interests, he takes action.
Border control.

Over to you, Sly. :)

Nope. 100% earnest.

You might be able to pick holes in a couple of them, but they're still overall positive.
