MAGAThread XV: Because Another

[San Lumen]

Then let him insist on it. Hes not getting it.

Then those workers stay furloughed forever.

Neither party wants the Great Wall of Trump.

[Great Confederacy of Commonwealth States]

Any standard we wanna keep that guy to? At all? Like, perhaps use his power for the common good like he was elected to do?

I don't know if a 'common good' exists...

Some policies are objectively better than other policies, yes?

This is good. Props to him for doing this.

Has he had shoes thrown at him yet?

This is good. Props to him for doing this.

And due to his shutdown they aren't getting paid. They ought to show him disrespect

No.

[Great Confederacy of Commonwealth States]

No.

If I can build a wall for a billion dollars, that is not objectively better than doing it for two billion dollars?

The DoD is not affected by the shutdown.

[San Lumen]

No.

I thought military members weren't getting paid. If im wrong then I apologize for my comment

[Telconi]

No.

It is not.

It is not.

So... why then have government? Why discuss politics if, in the end, we can just shout ‘it’s objective!’ and stick our heads in the sand?

[Telconi]

It is not.

So... why then have government? Why discuss politics if, in the end, we can just shout ‘it’s objective!’ and stick our heads in the sand?

To enforce the beliefs of those in power on those not in power.

Why have government at all then? Or why have elections?

Only those I like ought to be allowed to hold the reigns of power. That's your sentiment with that statement

Then why discuss politics? If it is just a matter of power?

[Washington Resistance Army]

To enforce the beliefs of those in power on those not in power.

Then why discuss politics? If it is just a matter of power?

Very few Americans actually discuss politics nowadays tbf, echo chambers are all the rage.

[Telconi]

To enforce the beliefs of those in power on those not in power.

Then why discuss politics? If it is just a matter of power?

Well, to convince others to take a particular side.

[San Lumen]

Well, to convince others to take a particular side.

And there was an election and the people chose a split congress. Your side lost and lost bigly in your state in particular

[Telconi]

Yes, I am aware, just as aware of it as I was last time you felt the need to gloat.

[Great Confederacy of Commonwealth States]

Well, to convince others to take a particular side.

And then, what decides what side you are on?

[Telconi]

Well, to convince others to take a particular side.

And then, what decides what side you are on?

Beliefs, values, morals.

[San Lumen]

Yes, I am aware, just as aware of it as I was last time you felt the need to gloat.

I dont consider that gloating.

when you espouse this: Government exists "To enforce the beliefs of those in power on those not in power." comes off as only those I agree ought to hold the reigns of power and no one else.

At the end of the day everything thinks that.

[Great Confederacy of Commonwealth States]

And then, what decides what side you are on?

Beliefs, values, morals.

So, when a 40 billion dollar border wall goes against ones beliefs, values, morals, saying that Trump should drop the idea, maybe that is allowed?

[Thermodolia]

Yes, I am aware, just as aware of it as I was last time you felt the need to gloat.

I dont consider that gloating.

Your one to talk. You don’t want a democratic voting system because it would be for a small minority.

[Telconi]

Beliefs, values, morals.

I don't recall saying it isn't...

Let's not give props to a dick whose notion of goodness, of the public welfare, is only incidental, a side effect of him puffing himself up for his choir.
