MAGAThread XX: A Journal of the Plague Year

[San Lumen]

Yes it would. No cabinet picks means executive offices cant do anything. No budget means government shutdown. Federal workers don’t get paid and are laid off. Parks close, social security checks don’t go out, food stamps don’t get sent, soldiers don’t get paid among many other things.

so all of government activity shudders to a grinding stop.

Yes which would be a bad thing for everyone

Not if a better society rises from the ashes.

Trump supporters deserve to be mocked, frankly.

You tied yourselves down to a deranged, racist imbecile that left 230,000+ Americans to die of a virus he completely ignored as he also mocked dead soldiers, bragged about sexually assaulting young girls, and even called you guys idiots to your faces (which caused you to cheer) while he stuffed his bank account full of your taxes and still somehow went broke. The past 4 years have just proven what most Americana already knew: Trump is a liar, a pervert, a bigot, a moron, and a psychopath.

And you stuck by him. Because he was "your guy" from "your party" or whatever other nonsense you use to justify it. You dismissed every gaffe and crime he committed as "fake news" or "taken out of context". So, yeah, sorry, you deserve to be mocked. Until the day you wake up and realize you were wrong, and then admit it, you deserve to be mocked.

I don't get what the people calling for "unity" expect. You've consistently displayed that you don't give a fuck about the facts, the law, or even human life - yet they somehow expect that by being respectful toward you they can sway you to reason. What a bunch of bullshit. Once you're in the Cult 45 the only way out is through your own efforts.

Until then, you will be mocked. You will be mocked until you realize why you're being mocked and why you deserve to be mocked. So spare me the "boohoo stop picking on me because I support Trump you guys" crap. You asked for this when you signed up with that lunatic and stood beside him through every act of evil and stupidity he committed to this day. Until you renounce him, you're going to be mocked. Deal with it.

^literally this. I know the compromise candidate Joe Biden is claiming he'll unite America, but there cannot be unity until the trumpsters change their ways. I'm not unifying with people who called my girlfriend before my last one a terrorist, called my last girlfriend a green card chaser, told me I should be deported, called me a commie, referred to my friend Caleb as "a disgusting nigger," or complained about all the "'rabs" in our town. Like sorry, I don't need to just accept a clan of bigots and their enablers back into an america with an open embrace. They chose to join team Trump now they can join him in the political shadow realm.

How many Trump supporters do you actually think are racist? Lol what a strawman

[Kexholm Karelia]

Lol if you think every, or even anywhere close to the majority of Trump supporters are racist, you’ve fallen to the propaganda of the leftist media, and you probably don’t actually know any Trump supporters in real life

How many Trump supporters do you think are actually racist? Lmao what a strawman

[Romextly]

Many Trump supporters are actually against racism. Most only join because they are conservative in some matters

Obviously it is not a dealbreaker for them... so all ?
Truetrue, some will reason from the "abortion is genocide, so voting for the shitbag that will stop that is voting for the lesser evil" position; but hey.

Well a good half of the ones in my area are, but jusr for the sake of argument:

Surveys showed that significant proportions of Trump supporters hold negative views of immigrants, Muslims, and African-Americans. The Pew Research Center found that 69 percent of Trump supporters viewed immigrants as a burden, rather than a benefit, to the US, and 64 percent believed that American Muslims should be subject to greater scrutiny solely on the basis of their religion. Reuters found that Trump supporters were more than twice as likely as Clinton supporters to view Islam negatively. Trump supporters were also more likely than supporters of other candidates to hold negative views of African-Americans. Reuters reported that 40–50 percent of Trump supporters viewed African-Americans as being more "lazy", "rude", "violent", or "criminal" than whites, compared to 25–30 percent for Clinton supporters; while 32 percent of Trump supporters believed that African-Americans were less intelligent than whites, compared to 22 percent of Clinton supporters.

But let me guess, all those people who voted for the guy that claimed thousands of arab americans cheered on 9/11 aren't racist. No one is gonna be able to keep a straight face if you urironically argue that people didnt vote for a candidate whose campaign was based on racism because they themselves are racists.

Have you noted that those are from the last election?

So they were willing to tolerate racism? Thats supposed to be better?

Trump's main support base did not radically change. And until you got stats that say otherwise, these are the ones we're going with.

At least half to 60% of Trump supporters hold bigoted views. And the rest are willing to associate with those with bigoted views.

[Romextly]

It's interesteing that you call Trump rascist, yet ya'll are voting for a man who in the past had been trying to stop the integration of the schools

[Borderlands of Rojava]

give me a direct quote that is explicitly racist

"It was well covered at the time, George. Now, I know they don't like to talk about it, but it was well covered at the time. There were people over in New Jersey that were watching it, a heavy Arab population, that were cheering as the buildings came down. Not good."

Trump defending his claim that thousands cheered in New Jersey on 9/11. Would you like me to quote what he said about the squad or is that enough racism for you for today?

I voted for him to stop herd immunity from becoming a government policy.

[San Lumen]

Yes which would be a bad thing for everyone

Not if a better society rises from the ashes.

I'd support a candidate who I found personally distasteful if he would bring forward the policies I supported.

What do you want government to do? Sounds like you want no laws at all.

The law is the largest source of violence. Arrest is violence, incarceration is violence.

I think that most people believe themselves to be good, and that they generally try to do the "right" thing.

Some people are genuine assholes, don't get me wrong, but my baseline assumption is that most people are decent.
