Trump MAGAthread X - Follow the Money

[The Flutterlands]

I must ask, did I post anything illegal? I haven't advocated armed riots or anything, just how much I disagree with state preemption on net neutrality that it should be ignored...

A few people in the thread are tired of you imagining yourself the leader of some heroic resistance against soulless corporations and ranting for a coup every week even though your vote demanded the end of net neutrality by picking the moron who ran on the pledge to do so just because you were triggered by the Democratic primaries and wanted Clinton to suck it and use her tongue.

My vote demanded no such thing. I don't think anyone knowledgeable on the subject who votes except for ISPs wanted net neutrality repealed. That being said, if I could go back, I would have voted third party so I can be guilt free.

They should have payed attention to what party frequently spouts what before voting, then.

But god damn, did they show those elitist scum?!

...by voting in a billionaire?

Who wasn't even intelligent enough to make billions without an inheritance from Daddy and usually had to file bankruptcies and cheat people to do so.

[Thermodolia]

Nope. This is just what you want. You wanting something doesn't make it factually the only acceptable course of action.

I don't care. States must rebel against the preemption. It is an imperative if all else fails. Unless you think ISPs should be able to extort us for more profit.

Well I own stock in a few ISPs so yes I'd like them to make more money because then I get more money.

Well you didn’t, now make your bed and move on.

[Luminesa]

If there is no debate then log off your computer. Because you’re done. There’s no reason for you to continue if there is no debate. Otherwise you’re wasting your breath and everyone else’s time.

Im just saying thst states like WA should enforce net neutrality laws regardless of the consequences. I see no thing wrong with that compared to enforcing marriage bans which actually hurt people.

But there is no debate, you said. So you have nothing else to say.

Why should I make my bed?

[Luminesa]

Why should I make my bed?

Because nobody wants to hear your constant whining over your past decisions. Why should you make your bed? Because you’re a grown man and mamma’s not going to do it for you. Neither is anyone on this thread, myself included. You wanna act like a spoiled, rotten child? Go on Tumblr or Facebook and post all your complaints there, but this thread is done with you.

Okay fine. I just hope that the Court fights, the fights in Congress and the elections turn out favorably in net neutrality's favor.

Everyone who cares about the internet does, which is a lot of people. Maybe not many here, but a great number. Hopefully this will turn out next November.

It's gonna be amusing when the GOP holds both the House and Senate.

What makes you think that aside from gerrymandering after the GOP proved so incompetent this year the only thing they passed was an unpopular tax bill?

Even in 2016 Congressional Republicans got more than a million more votes than the Dems, and midterms favor Republicans because their demographics turn out more. While it's not impossible that the Dems can do something crazy I'd put my money on the GOP.

People are angry with what the GOP has been doing. Are they really going to stay home and let them further ruin the country? If that is the case then there is no hope for America and we are doomed to plutocracy.

Oh wait... both parties serve similar masters.

Midterms favor the party in opposition, and I don't really know if Republican demographics turn out or if they've just been the party in opposition for almost a decade now, so it just seems like they do.

Either way, you're very very wrong to assume the GOP are the favorites heading into 2018, no number supports that assumption. So be prepared to lose some cash, ya?

Well, good, that means there's nothing you can do and you should stop wasting everyone's time.

Glad we got that settled.

People said I was wrong to assume Trump was going to win too, we'll just have to wait and see. If they don't run actual child molesters I think they stand a pretty good chance at holding things.

Still might as well vote Democrat. I like my Senators, Whitehouse, who is up for election year and I like Rep. David Cicilline enough to vote for them.

The Trump thing isn't really a good thing, because by all metrics, he was the unlikely outcome. Hey, unlikely things happen, the underdog wins, we move on. Democrats lead on a generic ballot by ~12 points last I knew, which is enough to take the House if things hold, which they probably will, since Trump has performed exactly as expected.

Speaking of, midterms never favor the party in power, and losses are increased for an unpopular party in power. With the Administration and Congress being historically unpopular, those also point to gains in favor of Democrats. I'd expect a Democratic House and a 51% chance of a Democratic Senate, as well. Because that's how badly Trump has dropped the ball.

Maths point to a Democratic surge in 2018, quite able to take the House and the Senate as been posed as a possibility.

Especially since the conservatives and many republicans are bandwagoning the "trumpism movement"

The self proclaimed goal being removing elitism

[Valrifell]

Can we stop pretending "Trumpism" has any kind of intellectual or useful merit as a term? Thanks.

*shrug*
You treat it like that, but when people bandwagon behind it using a made up term then it kinda becomes a thing. To argue otherwise is denial.

We have a thread on net neutrality. Go there and talk about it. It's only marginally relevant in this thread.
