Oh wow your memes really have compelled me.
I've been trying to have a serious conversation with verb but this is the level of dialectic he operates on, get him to change and i'll adapt.

And here I thought Azendac was unbiased.
Just having a little fun here. I will be upfront about where my support lies and I'm not going to pretend I don't have strong opinions, we all have our biases after all. But I have other places I can memepost and this is the serious board afterall.

to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus. Monogamous sex doesn't spread the HIV virus unless one of the people already has it, and even then it's contained to the couple. Trying to weasel this into "Pence wants to shockjock the gay away" is as disingenuous
It really isn't.
Except you're putting words in his mouth because it /sounds/ like a "dogwhistle"
Not so much putting words into his mouth, but basing interpretation on multiple other anti-LGBT statements and legislation, both proposed and signed.
Also, where the hell did your line on monogamous sex even come from? It's nowhere in the article or legislation.
Monogamous sex was my interpretation of his alternative to "the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus.", given that it's the standard christian solution along with abstinence. Now gays aren't that promiscuous, but they certainly could be less promiscuous than they are now. Of course, same goes for straights.

Attack the man on things that have substance not hearsay ffs.

Trump's already determining US policy, killing the TPP and making alliances. There would be so much egg on so many faces if the EC changes it's mind that America would fall apart.

Reince Priebus, current head of the RNC, has been announced as Donald Trump's Chief of Staff
That's deeply unfortunate, but I suppose he has to make concessions to keep the RNC from obama'ing him.
Priebus was the top pick for Paul Ryan and Congress.
So much for draining the establishment swamp.
Draining it of the clintons and their associates is, as we know from wikileaks, a big step forward. But fuck, these people either need to fall in line bigly, or get ousted in 2018. I fully understand the realpolitik reasons for doing this but I'm not going to be pleased with it until I see results.

The point I'm trying to get across is that you really don't have a leg to stand on when you go and vote for X party that you know isn't going to win, then proceed to throw a conniption fit when Y party you didn't vote for ends up losing to Z party you didn't vote for. This is especially true for those who live in swing states.
This really doesn't stand to reason, though. I'm allowed to be upset that enough people voted for Trump for him to win--and who I vote for is completely irrelevant. The fact is, voting for Hillary wouldn't have taken away any of Trump's votes. If Trump lost, I would have been just as livid that he even made it so far.
Did you ever stop to consider why people would want a candidate like Trump in the first place,l et alone vote him into office? The answer isn't because they're low information btw.
Yes, I know. The answer is because they're fucking insanely stupid.
Hey, if you want to live your life being unable to understand what's going on and why it's happening, that's your choice. But you have to live with being mentally crippled when it comes to predicting future events. Are you sure you don't want to try and understand the other side? Trump didn't flip blue states red by assuming they're idiots you know.

Starting to believe PSU's theory that it's mostly leftists doing this. How many Trump supporters actually associate themselves with nazis?
I think it be fair to say that any pro Trump nazis were nazis before and will be nazis after
Ok but how many Nazis are there running around in America?
There are roughly 1,000 groups with anywhere between 15 to 5,000 members
There's more of them than there are ISIS members.

I mean, this place is basically /pol/ lite
For all the shit I give Bungle about being terrible with arguments, I wouldn't even begin to try and actually convince anyone here
It's an exercise in futility
It sure as fuck wasn't when I ragequit a few months back. This place has gone through a lot of changes and if you didn't like them, you should've adapted your tactics to fighting it. Being unpersuasive is your problem and nobody else's.

If I had to make an educated guess, we're going to go through a repeat of the counter culture movement in the late twentieth century. The right (and alt-right) will grow more powerful and embeded in the establishment until it becomes impossible for anyone to say that they're anti-establishment reactionaries. Around that point, the left will coalesce around opposition to the 'new normal' and start to base their identity off of opposition to everything the alt-right represents. If they're successful then they'll find historical precedents to reformulate their new identity, so that they can say "we're not just reacting to the establishment, we have our own morals and ideals that we're fighting for"
Whether or not they go all the way to becoming the hegemony again really depends on how both sides react to one another.

Nobody is trying to silence the opposition. People like Icy, President Obama and most of the political class have been totally reasonable. They've been critical of Trump from the go, but are willing to accept the loss and their position, and act like rational human beings for the next four years.
The fact of the matter is that our entire political structure (one I don't even like that much) relies entirely on the general understanding that its methods of election, appointment and regulation are legitimate. When the losing side begins to deny the legitimacy of those things just because it doesn't like the results, that political structure is undermined.
Donald Trump is not going to kill you, send you away or hurt you. He is not going to restrict your political freedoms. You have been indoctrinated by two years of propaganda and hyperbolic rhetoric into thinking that the US has been taken over by a neo-Nazi in some kind of illegal coup. The simple truth of the matter is that Donald Trump, as well as his supporters, genuinely wants to Make America Great Again. Whether or not his plans for doing this are going to work is a matter very much up for debate, but it is quite apparent (to those willing to unplug their ears and take their hands away from their eyes) that the man really does mean well for this country and its inhabitants.
Stop acting like a child. Obama is not a Muslim communist who wants Islam to take over the United States. Donald Trump is not a fascist who wants to exterminate nonwhites and liberals.
What a lot of people forget is that "making america great again" entails "making america more unified again". Bantzing with eachother is fun now and then but ultimately the trump teams wants the hillary side to understand where they're coming from, what facts their fears are based on, and to help out with implementing the solutions to problems that exist regardless of your opinion on them.

Are you trying to say that the election process is rigged and broken and needs to be fixed? gee, I wonder who in the world campaigned on such a platform.

« on: November 12, 2016, 10:11:41 PM »
yes. those who do go out and vote are at fault too because they allow their children and peers to stay at home and complain behind their phone screen.
Well I disagree. You can't force people to do something they've decided not to. It's a personal decision. And I don't feel that holding an entire populace accountable for a subset of that populace making a personal decision that they are legally and ethically allowed to make is a trivial matter.
Except that there's no point in having elections if most of the electorate doesn't bother to turn up.

If you spend two years demonizing every trump supporter as literally worse than hitler, and trump himself as the end of the world, then of course people aren't going to readily admit to someone else that they're supporting the guy. of course, there's also the massive oversampling of democracts, and undersampling of everyone else.

Or, he realizes that it's better to keep what works and trash what doesn't, which is something we all do every chance we get.
