US Midterm Elections Megathread III: Hitting The Wall

[Western Vale Confederacy]

Regardless, Trump is going to get roflstomped in a few days.

His stupid politicians and Fox will try to claim "CHINESE HACKING" which unlike the FBI investigation into Russia has legitimately no evidence.

Or, y'know, civil war is always a potential card.

Also, I'd argue to not be so sure about Trump's defeat. That kinda cost you the 2016 elections, y'know.

Roads are a thing. As well as public schools, hospitals, every industry the government subsidizes, national defense, law Enforcement, blah blah blah.

This idea of “I don’t owe anything to the state” only works if you’re a wilderness survival expert, and a hobo at the same time.

Why do these things create an obligation to vote?

Hey, if you want the crazy people who think taxes are theft to take ‘em away, you don’t have to vote. But saying that you don’t owe anything to the State is just blind to reality.

Mystic warriors is that you?

Nah just a person sick of people defending a racist piece of shit while claiming to be Christian.

All those mean old people with differing opinions daring to have differon opinions!!! Grrrrr!!!

Even though the Republicans outright rejected increased funding of election cybersecurity hoping Mama Russia come saves them again.

Shameless ain't just a show.

I don't tho... And you saying that I'm blind to reality doesn't offer any evidence of a debt to the state, much less one requiring that I vote.

Wow, so mature.

Civil war is possible thus a worry.

Which would only make me get pissed off at Trump even more. I only started disliking Republicans a lot after him, before I was still a Democrat but wasn't extremely angry at the Republican Party, yeah they annoyed me for what they did to Obama, but overall, despite some big issues, I still didn't have nearly the same level of worry or anger as I do now.


As a Christian, Trump has made me hate the Republican Party Politicians and drove me away from ever becoming a Politician as long as they and their successors remain, and I despite my social democracy/rhine capitalism was open to being one at one point, minus my more progressive social beliefs and more regulatory nature.


I can't see a compassionate loyal, non-racist, Christian being a Republican these days.

Unless they're a never-trumper which ok that's fair. I just have seen Trump in his own words tear down everything I thought Republicans stood for, even though I wasn't one, I respected their religious moralistic stances, but he tore it all down and revealed it all to be lies. I am horrified and disgusted. I'm not even talking about what the news has said about him, I'm talking about what I hear from his own mouth.



That is why, to me it's Better Dead Than Red this election.

Ok, then are you blind, or are just posturing.

the red scare is typically a conservative thing irc.

"Ruskies!!1!1!3!one!"

Wow, so mature.

Pointing out they have no grounds to scream "JYNA!!1!1!3!one!" which Donnie is very likely to do after the likelihood of the Democrats retaking the House despite refusing to improve election cybersecurity is very mature indeed. :^]

Okay, there are two things here. All the things the state does for you does create a debt to the state. There technically isn’t an obligation to vote, but it’s very strongly recommended.

Except china is a growing threat, militarily at least.

You have government proof of China actually interfering in the midterms or just praying they actually will so you can sing "NO COLLUSION"?

i never said they were interfering.

they mightve, same as the russians.

But russia, my ancestral homeland mine you, is a mere paper tiger.


or bear.

Care to demonstrate how other people''s opinions are less true than yours?

[Telconi]

Ok, then are you blind, or are just posturing.

Wow. You piss me off.

What you just said...wow.


It's so ignorant.


I'm among the most damn Christian-supporting folk I know and despise Christianity being used to hide corruption.


The fact you fail to actually check previous posts to see how strongly Christian I speak and am and claim "Posturing" pisses me off.


And the fact you claim I am blind after seeing blatantly racist and unchristian stuff from my own eyes, not what the media says, pisses me off.


It pisses me off because I'm Christian and this feels like what'd happen under the Antichrist or how it felt like what happened under Unchristian dictators pretending to be Christian, like Hitler(Trump is not Hitler but Hitler was no actual Christian).

I'm sorry, but the only other comparisons are some other Dictators that are pretty obscure but pretended to be Christian gaining the Christian vote but were definitively not Christian.

"People with different opinions piss me off"

How Christian of you...

The amount of left-wing and right-wing blind fanatics is truly a sight to behold.

And I'm just here plotting my centrist coup.

Authoritarianism is not a synonym of fascism, just sayin'.

In fact, fascism is totalitarian.

Not really. Maybe in theory, but fascist practice and fascist theory are usually miles apart.

Again, authoritarianism is not a synonym for fascism, despite the latter often having the former included.

Can you identify to me an aspect of generally accepted fascist regimes that is not included in 'authoritarianism' and 'ethnic cleansing'?

Can you word that a bit better?

[Historikal]

Demonstrably untrue.

Assuming we are talking about Trump, lets not pretend to actually believe he has any kind of deep Christian values.

Everything he has done in his life should be frowned on by Christians.

Does he really scream "family values" to you?

[Conserative Morality]

Can you word that a bit better?

Can you name me a shared feature of fascist regimes that is not covered under or implied by the accusations of "authoritarianism" and "ethnic cleansing"?
