I kind of view libertarianism (which if you research it, there are a lot of different groups that call themselves libertarians), as this. On many social issues, they are much further to the left than the traditional GOP. Economically, yes they go kind of crazy on the Capitalistic side. I think a none regulated corporate greed fest is obviously bad, though Im not sure if its + | - | = to the crony capitalist crap fest we have now. I definitely wouldnt advocate for the %100 free market that if an extreme libertarian was in power would fight for.
I'd forgotten bloomers or pantaloons aren't actually pants but the tights underneath makeup for the shortage..pirates have always been cutting edge in the world of fashion
My mother, who's passed on now, was exactly like your aunt. Her husband, my stepfather, of many years, was a staunch Republican. He learned early on not to say anything.
Of course, but this is not ABM's objective.
I'm not arguing with the end result, I'm just saying it's not ABM's intent. I don't like his support of Trump either but I'm not going to jump on him for an intent that he doesn't have. Yes, supporting Trump does enable his evil ways but that doesn't mean that the supporter knows that it's evil even though it's hard to fathom that they couldn't know.
It depends on what you mean by supporting. If you mean supporting his views that I find detrimental then I must agree. But if you mean supporting him as a decent human being then I must heartily disagree.
I think the problem is with the history of our country, and as bad as it is just about every "older" person has a history of racism of some kind. Look at some of the bills Pelosi, Biden, etc have pushed or voted in and what they've done to Black communities, and really most older politicians you can find a history of that type of stuff. Voting for Biden doesn't mean your a racist or tolerate racists because Biden's done crappy things to Blacks. We really, really need new "blood" so to speak in our political spectrum... These life-long politicians on like McConnel, and Graham and Pelosi and Biden have made some decisions that have been pretty freaking terrible for the people of this country. However, people who support them, aren't all "racists" and I wouldn't say that they all even enable it, they just don't feel like they have any choices in the matter, it needs to change.
Culpable? Yes
I look at Biden and Pelosi as trying to politically survive. Think of the sorts of potentially racist politicians who might have replaced them and then have been unable to support Blacks today.
The question is though, is Biden and those peoples choices just they lacked understanding, or did they know full well what they were doing. Im not saying we cant give them the benefit of the doubt, but certainly to some extent in order to make that argument you have to give them the benefit of the doubt. I kind of think whether they knew or nor, the fact is there policies had bad results and we need new people, with new ideas.
Well Trump’s ego is certainly big enough he wont apologize for anything, but at 70 whatever years old Biden is, ‘apologizing’, for saying racist things like you arent Black if you dont vote for me, at some point just apologizing because you get backlash, isnt really an admirable trait either. Again main point I think we need younger politicians and candidates, and new ideas.
I am not concerned with @ABM ’s objectives because his reasoning is disingenuous. He has abandoned Jesus, most Christians have since supporting Trump is antithetical to what Jesus teaches. Trump is vile, full of hate, hurts the meek and puts himself above all. Jesus is compassionate, Trump is not. Trump is a cauldron if of fear and anger, Christianity teaches acceptance and turning the other cheek. Trump is about ego, not goodness. Trump is the most prolific liar the whitehouse had ever seen. I’ll throw in this bible verse for good measure “keep your tongue from slander; because no secret word is without result, and a lying mouth destroys the soul." Trump is vile to women and sexualizes his daughter. Trump certainly does not love his enemies, he is full of vitriol and hatred. Jesus cares about the poor, Trump mocks and vilifies them. Trump is about himself and money, gold toilet seats and his pictures on water, steaks and every other snake oil piece of shit he sells. Trump doesn’t give a shit about people, doesn’t care if they die, as long as he makes a buck.
