No mandown,Gaza and Ukraine are two different matters. Please do not Insult me with this thought. Oversimplifying?

Are you Insane?

You think the People of America are thinking of Gaza as a Tax Paying Problem? Indeed it is,a serious one. A Mind Boggling One. Nothing New for USA though.

The People are Upset for 15 thousand or more Children Who are Dead!

I Could on,but I am too upset and not in the right mind.

Avy
Again Avy, If Hamas surrenders and frees the hostages the attack on Gaza is over & done. It's up to one group & Israel will not stop until every last Hamas terrorist is gone. Unfortunately that's off the table for Hamas and probably will not stop because they want every last Jew removed from the planet.

I ask this question every fucking day man. Trump has a hold on people like I haven’t seen since Jim Jones and his Koolaid.
No he doesn't, you're grasping at straws here. The US is not ready if ever for a progressive socialist agenda in which the current democratic party wants. The left wants to control every aspect of your life by giving everyone free stuff i.e student loan reimbursement, $25K for a down payment on a first time buyers home, a forgivable loan of $20K for African Americans to start a marijuana business. Things have become more expensive and Harris had no answer for it and people wanted change. Unfortunately there are not a lot of moderate democrats around which is why Harris chose Watz over Shapiro who is a moderate. Well that & Shapiro is Jewish and she was trying to court the Muslim vote and definitely having a Jew the wasn't going to bode well. It's not a Kool aid thing that drew more towards Trump, it's his policies and him putting America first.

this ^^ is a contradiction to this vv

Israel is killing innocent Palestinians every day, have been for decades, and will continue to do so.

a forgivable loan of $20K for African Americans to start a marijuana business.
this is where I'd tell you that you are a racist piece of shit, but you'd find a way to call me anti-semitic.

LOL!!!! I'm not racist, do the research for yourself.

I think the biggest reason that normal* people voted for Orangefoolius is the economy.

I think these people recognize that D2S's businesses are for the most part abject failures and scams. However, D2S himself appears to do quite well; he is referred to regularly as a billionaire and was elected president of the US twice. I also think that people expect him to be more open to business and economic growth friendly policies.

In painting Dem policies as socialism to this demographic, D2S presents himself as the protector of profits, stock growth and a (outwardly) robust economy. The con is that all of these things are propped-up facades hiding the fact that a very few are getting very rich while the rest become relatively poorer. Unfortunately, the effective brainwashing of the consumerist masses (aka the belief in the american dream) has made a lot of people incapable of critical long term thinking that considers implications beyond their next 1040 filing.

*normal people meaning those who are not outwardly rabid MAGA douches. Perhaps they internalize and hide their racism and hate better. Perhaps they are not explicitly racist misogynists themselves, but they "look past his shortcomings" and quietly choose D2S. Much like Judas Priest they don't get absolution, but they might appear to be normal people with whom you can have a normal conversation in every day life.

To be clear, I am not trying to justify what happened so much as to understand why.

Also, if you voted for D2Shitbag because of security reasons of any kind, fuck you.

Curiously, this touches on the reasons why pilgrims were searching for a new place to live and worship. Protestant ideology was founded in the belief that you could have a singular, personal relationship with God/Jesus. That was at odds with the collective authority of the Anglican church and Catholicism.
I imagine there is a philosophical correlation somewhere in that.

I get your point but it’s a pretty blanketed and inaccurate statement. The group you described is much smaller than half of the population. The US has roughly 345 million people. 72 million voted for D2S this time and in 2016.

I hate that the racist pieces of trash in this country are the loudest and most visible. But to say we all support this behavior is insulting.
I would argue, they are. They support institutionalized racism and the kind of racism that manifests in unconscious biases. It's not the "I hate xxx race" people that are the biggest problem IMO, those are overt and easy to weed out. It's the ones that let cops pull over predominately black people while letting white people get away with the same thing and are not even conscious of it. Or managers conducting job interviews that choose score someone of a different race differently and are not conscious of it. That list goes on and on and in many cases, the person exhibiting the racism doesn't think they are racists or that they are doing anything wrong. If you asked them, they'd tell you how many xxx friends they have and how they aren't racist at all. But these are the biases that exist and it's hard work to root them out and reverse...vs. just identifying the KKK. I offer up that everyone is racist to some degree, it's just that those are aware of it can work to overcome it. It's a natural byproduct of growing up/developing in a homogenous situation, such as home with parents and siblings. Once that person starts to mix with different cultures and people, there's always going to be some bias to what they learned first and who they identified with first.

Nope, we all laugh at people like you freaking out like a 12 year old girl. Sorry you have such a closed mind. I have friends on both sides and watching your reaction makes me chuckle. You think the world is going to come to an end. It won’t and there will be a different president in 4 years. I had to endure 4 years of Biden and survived. You already did 4 years of Trump and appears you survived. You’ll make it another 4 and I’m sure you’ll be alright. Keep your chin up high little buckaroo!

And there it is folks, divisive hatred and misogyny all in one condescending post. What kind of low self esteem bottom feeder comes on here to gloat after their candidate wins ? Answer: above.

Do fuck off at your earliest convenience.

This narrative and this specific example are utter bullshit. Yes, you have less spending power with your paycheck, but it’s bc of your own belief in and support of the Rep version of the “free market.”

The billionaire (and millionaire) class is causing inflation and while they are being supported by both parties, one party is clearly more supportive.

It’s not Biden, Obama or even Bush or Clinton. It’s you and your belief in unfettered consumption driven capitalism.

eta: “you” doesn’t mean @Sandwich it’s the editorial you…

Funny, you’re the one acting like a spoiled child that didn’t get his way. Playing the hatred card. Just proves my point. You struggle to debate anyone with a different view. Backed in a corner you play the hate, misogynist & race card. It’s all you progressive people have. Again, I seriously feel bad for you that your life apparently is crumbling apart because Harris didn’t get elected. I guess you can leave the country to along with all the celebrities. Probably best you take a time out in your safe space, you’ll probably fell better. I’ll even bring you a juice box! LOL!

Brian, your complete lack of self awareness, coupled with your inability to comprehend a slightly different world view means it’s pointless talking to your ridiculous ass. You’re a mental and moral midget. You’re embarrassing yourself. You haven’t made a single cogent point, but you’re talking about debate. It’s laughable if it wasn’t so sad.
