Also hope you weren't one of the ones calling Obama a communist lol. On 3/24/2021 at 1:46 PM, HeloDude said: Also, Biden supports (see link below), the police being able to go into your house and seize weapons without a warrant...also sounds a bit like what a fascist would want to do. Expand What would you say if I asked you if Trump supporting anti free trade, farmer subsidies, and pro worker policies sounds a bit like he's a socialist? There's policy overlap within all ideologies. The right wing nationalist platform of Trump is clearly closer to facism than Biden's; as is Biden's left wing progressive platform closer to socialism... Doesn't mean either of them are those things, but these cherry picked policy arguments about WhOs ThE ReAl FaScISt/SoCIaliSt are retarded. 1 1
busdriver Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 I find it amusing that people confuse the concepts of right and left with respect to modern American politics and 19th/20th century European politics. 2

Expand Unlike progressives and right wingers, I support policy that gives us more individual freedom and liberty. When Trump did things well, I gave him kudos, and didn’t when he made bad policy. I wasn’t a fan of the tariffs or the crazy spending...but I was a fan of the deregulation policies he put in place. And clearly the judges he put on the bench are far better than those nominated by his predecessor. As for Obama, he was just another progressive...fortunately he just wasn’t too successful at getting many of his desired policies implemented. But if you think I gain more overall individual freedom with Biden than with Trump, then I’m willing to hear you make that argument.
lloyd christmas Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 I wonder if he responds to questions in high level meetings like he did at that press conference. I doubt he’s a different person in those type of environments vs a press conference. Scary scary stuff to me.

Expand Left and right on the political compass relate to economic policy rather than what we consider traditional "left and right". Left is 100% government driven and right is 100% free market.

brickhistory Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 Form 4473: Ever used illegal narcotics? Ever been discharged from the military other than honorably? If so, please describe. (Both questions paraphrased for brevity). That wacky Hunter Biden kid and his .38 that the Delaware State Police, the FBI (why?), and the Secret Service (again, why?) all took a personal interest in when his former sister-in-law, then his main squeeze threw away in a dumpster near a high school. Poor, poor 50 year old kid. I'm sure I'd get the same considerations if I'd been caught doing, literally, hookers and blow and then bought a firearm. 1

Expand All of the leftist arguments for “common sense Gun control” are disproved by their selective enforcement of current laws.

Do you need more than that? We can go chicken vs egg all day long on whether Democrats or Republicans ruined elections first, but trump certainly didn't help anything. As it became clearer and clearer he was going to lose, trump became more erratic and irresponsible. And it culminated in probably the most shameful moment for America in my lifetime. Expand Slavery, Jim Crow, Japanese internment, losing the Vietnam war, the Iraq war...and this is what you chose as the most shameful?

Expand I'm not getting in some dumb semantic argument about what's the worst thing the US has ever done. The bottom line here is that delusional political extremists were actively encouraged by lies from the sitting president and stormed the capitol. And that is a very bad thing. I don't know where it places on the ultimate scale of national shame but it's the worst thing I've seen since I've been paying attention to politics. Almost as concerning is the sheer number of non-extremist republicans who continued on the trump bandwagon as he devolved into increasingly desperate political lies and tantrums. It shows how few Americans have actual principles and how many want to just pick a team and root for that team at all costs. 3 2

So, she said it. True or not. And she did raise money to bail out rioters. Actions being even louder than non-existent words. 3 2
