I simply find conservatism and the MAGA brand of rampant nationalism to be completely pointless, at best, and incredibly toxic, at worst.

As I posted this morning, his ideology offers me nothing. There’s nothing MAGA can sell me that I want to buy.

Correct because we don’t build our entire identities around Donald Trump. Good job! Oh no, I promise you I hate Trump and his followers for exactly who they are. Anti-freedom, regressive bullies and enemies of enlightened American values.

I do honestly think we’re going to have a reckoning on social media in the coming years, at bare minimum the addictive algorithms companies use to feed you more dopamine-creating content. More and more people are rejecting the AI slop getting pushed at us

Are people who say the shooting was staged making money off it and harassing Trump’s family? No? Then shut the ***** up with your false equivalence fallacy.

Not the two other people that got hit that’s for sure Oh no, he’s still a wretched slug of a man who isn’t fit to be leader of a Dollar General, but we don’t want candidates killed. This isn’t a difficult concept to grasp

Then why are you crying about DEI? Why do you automatically believe a woman in charge was hired for a quota and not out of merit?

And you think because a woman is in charge this happened?

How else should I interpret the “DEI hire” shrieking?

Probably because he’s sick of the rampant regressivism and borderline QAnon level the modern GOP is at

Very telling that a lot of the right wing thinks this happened because a woman is in charge. Not that most of the right wing knows the touch of a woman anyways

Exactly.

Correct, he and Eve contemplated human desires rather than god.

She’s got to have one brain cell left bouncing around in there like a ping pong ball

We have free will because we are made in Gods image (Genesis). Sin is simply the contemplation of worldly things instead of God. Adam’s sin wasnt eating the apple, it was turning from the contemplation of God and his works to contemplating his own nakedness and bodily desires. Contra Gentes by St. Athanasius is an excellent read if you have the time. One of the most important works of the early Church.

No refutation of anything. Not unexpected.

I mean, Richard Simmons had cancer, and Dr. Ruth was in her mid-90s.

I do pity these people. So angry. So lacking in critical thinking. Happily slurping down their diet coke and believing whatever Sean Hannity barfs out on that particular day. What a fall from America's proud tradition of enlightenment thinking.

Probably a gigantic neon sign with "Hey everyone, here's one of those false idols I warned you about" on it.

1) Trump is Putin's buddy and is fighting to prevent more aid to Ukraine. 2) Yes, Biden's tariffs suck too. All tariffs should be abolished as it is not 1820 anymore. 3) The Biden admin's plan has already launched 80 new clean energy factories, most of which will benefit GOP states. 4) MAGA means America for anyone who is white, anglosaxon, and protestant. 5) Door to door roundups of Hispanic folks is sadistic. 6) They don't gut the entire Federal government first like the Project 2025 agenda calls for.

Trump's side has done that itself. I could explain how globalism and helping our allies abroad is America First, but I don't expect a MAGAT to have the mental capacity to understand this.

Show me an example, then.

You hallucinating again? No one here besides one troll has posted anything like that. You are wrong. For example, 66% of Americans support NATO.

What does the GOP agenda offer me? Trump's fanatic devotion to leaving NATO will destabilize the world and make it easier for authoritarians like Putin to have free reign. His tariffs will raise the price of goods. He is anti-green energy which will cost thousands of jobs and undo progress on environmental health. He offers no unifying, galvanizing national message. His plan for migrants is sadistic and vile. He plans to install nothing but loyalists to government positions, a terrifying prospect.

People are simply rejecting the GOP agenda. It offers us nothing.
