American Politics I: It's All Applesauce

[Cordel One]

Accusing Emerald of all people of being a radical socialist is fucking hilarious.

Calling literally anyone in this thread a radical socialist is pretty funny.

You can call me one

[Untecna]

HOLY SHIT

Transportation Sec. Elaine Chao (McConnell’s wife) is resigning

Is this good or bad?

[San Lumen]

there is a noam chomsky quote in your signature.

Lemme guess.. he's an evil old jew destroying america?

What the heck are you on about?

[Kowani]

HOLY SHIT

Transportation Sec. Elaine Chao (McConnell’s wife) is resigning

Is this good or bad?

This is good
Trump’s hold on power-already tenuous-is weakening even further

[Myrensis]

HOLY SHIT

Transportation Sec. Elaine Chao (McConnell’s wife) is resigning

Is this good or bad?

Meaningless. Just a bunch of Republicans trying to save face by pretending that they just realized yesterday that Donald Trump was President.

Welp!

Looks like I'll just go live with Micheal Buble in his hermit cave until Christmas, sorry about the inconveniencing.

First of all, as I’ve told the kids in my school, stop saying “the blacks”.
And secondly, a conservative isn’t shot every 29 hours. 1 out of 1000 conservatives aren’t going to get shot by police. Conservatives haven’t been profiled for centuries for being conservative, and aren’t incarcerated at higher rates for crimes they didn’t commit than liberals. Conservatives aren’t not having an opioid epidemic simply because doctors look at them and refuse to give them painkillers because they assume they’ll just sell them.
You are NOT a victim. Accept it.

you'd be surprised... it's not easy being a white man today, let alone a Christian.

Oh goody, a poster less than a day old making nonsensical posts about the white man being the real victim in modern society; I wonder how long you will last

Presumably, Sahravana is convinced of the usual antisemitic rightist myths about Chomsky and Soros.

Honestly I'm not going to give any credit to anyone who resigns from the regime. Quitting your job 2 weeks early with millions in your bank account isn't exactly the pinnacle of courage.

probably years, they'll fit right in

[Asherahan]

Just send them a link to Trump saying China. They will understand.

They just ask me why he sounds so stupid.

See they understood everything about trump immediately.

[Glorious Hong Kong]

Not at all surprised but nonetheless creeped out by how enthusiastically liberals have embraced the idea of charging people with sedition, a constitutionally questionable crime with a history of being used against labor and anti-war activists. 100 years ago people were charged with sedition for daring to suggest that 18 year old American boys shouldn't die in a war between European monarchs. And they're all so sure a right-wing government will never take power and use it against them.

Malaysia, Hong Kong, and India all have a colonial-era Sedition Act and it is as draconian as you make it out to be. Criticizing the monarchy, insulting Islam, and insulting the prime minister are all considered seditious in Malaysia. Suddenly the police aren't cracking down hard enough? Whatever happened to ACAB? Are Democrats going to demand that Antifa Blackshirts be charged with sedition? Does the Left actually stand for freedom at all or are they just grandstanding as usual?

"Freedom for me but not for thee."

Oh they understand Trump himself, they do not understand how or why people like him and why he is still in power.

It's actually the opposite, given the fact that people have been predicting this moment since before Trump even won in 2016

Shhhh, you have to say (((Cultural Marxist))) now or the PC police will get you.

Cultural Marxism has nothing to do with jews. Most antisemites in America are not neo Nazis. Antisemites are actually usually African American. Typically, neo Nazis are not known for being black.

[Des-Bal]

Meaningless. Just a bunch of Republicans trying to save face by pretending that they just realized yesterday that Donald Trump was President.

That's not meaningless. They were entertaining his insane rhetoric because keeping his supporters was worth signing on for madness, now the optics have turned and they're willing to break with the hard line trumpos in order to not look like psychopaths.

[The Galactic Liberal Democracy]

the blacks acted like victims just because a few of them got shot... how is this less significant

170 million Republican registered fetuses are murdered by Joe Biden every day, didn’t you know?

Thing is Elaine Chao is probably the one pulling the strings of her hubby (McConnell) and was one who didn cared about anything before. She being quitting the party is a strong indication that the bust is about to come.

[Rusozak]

See they understood everything about trump immediately.

Oh they understand Trump himself, they do not understand how or why people like him and why he is still in power.

I think that requires a better understanding of the American people as a whole. Perhaps seeing the kinds of people that stormed the capitol yesterday will make things more clear.

[Spirit of Hope]

HOLY SHIT

Should have invoked the 25th.

It's a direct extension of the Nazi myth of Judeo-Bolshevism.

Just tell them their even more stupid than him and as the saying goes the one eyed man is king in the company of the blind.

Nah, the general consensus was that Americans are stupid (among other words).

While this could also work in the CDT, I wanted to post this here. Bishop Barron's excellent exhortation toward peace and civil discussion among US citizens I think is a good little source of light for our American Catholics. Highly recommend it.

I hope all of you have gotten some rest and are feeling a little refreshed from yesterday's chaos, please take care of yourselves and your neighbors.

The Capitol will be getting a 7 foot wall for 30 days
