watch that. Watch that and tell me that I’m crazy for my belief that liberals hate the constitution and are actively trying to bypass it or scrap it altogether. That is why I’m not voting for Biden. My god, these Democrats are the very reason our founders left us with an electoral college. That whole interview should be revolting to every red blooded American.

I won’t vote for Biden because I’m an American.

Trump's actions often mirror Fascism, hence the anti-fascist "Anti fa" belief system which Trump often mischaracterizes as a terrorist organization unlike his reluctance to denounce far-right paramilitary groups which pose real risks to public safety.

K, sir, this might sting a bit because I’m going to make a mockery out of your “Anti fa” nonsense, but please don’t consider it a personal attack as that’s not my flavor.
Y’all see what this dude did?😂
This dude is like ‘1st, Trump is obviously Hitler. Since Trump is clearly a fascist, there’s a group of benevolent people out there who are “anti” to Trump’s “fa.” Their being named “Antifa” is irrefutable proof that they’re good people, fighting for good things!’
....bro, if I form a gang called “the very respectable gentleman” and we start a racketeering scheme, would you be like ‘those chaps are great, they’re “very respectable gentleman!”’
It’s so ridiculous that when liberals deflect Antifa criticism, how often they go to the “dude, they’re name is Antifa which means anti fascist, thus proving they did nothing wrong.”
Do you not see how ridiculous that is?

Then why did you mix them up?
I didn’t. You assumed I did.
I believe ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ are the pillars of the bill of rights, and the bill of rights were written to preserve those inalienable rights because that’s why the bill of rights was written. Ya know...historical context.

The phrase inalienable rights is from the Declaration of Independence by the way. Right to peaceful assembly is the Constitution.
Thanks dude, but I too passed 4th grade. So I knew that. -

Ok, I’m done. Thank you. Have a good weekend. I can’t go on if you’re going to be that silly. -

You have the right to peacefully assemble. In emergency crises governors have executive powers to act in the general welfare of their states. Pandemic, hurricanes, and so on. You’re pretending the exception is the rule.
Right. Right. We’re on what, month 6 of the 14 days to flatten the curve? Gotcha. Good thing for America there are Americans like me.-

I'll just say that there are much better ways to check the government's overreach than opposing government health and safety guidelines in the middle of a once-in-a-century pandemic just because it's coming from the government's mouth. There is something to be said for banding together when the going gets tough and loosening up when times are good.
There’s something to be said for saying loudly “DONT TREAD ON ME.”Im American AF.

Just now, Capco said:
So the first amendment right to peaceful assembly gives you the right to not follow health and safety guidelines that can take away the unalienable right to life for other Americans? You can still peacefully assemble while wearing a mask dude.
And I know exactly what you said. The point I'm trying to make is that this perceived right you have isn't a right at all but rather just your own feelings and desires. I'm not sure why I expected you to see the point I was trying to make though.
Um, I’ll address your last point first. My bill of rights is not my feelings. Again, they’re inalienable rights.
For your first paragraph I am not anti-mask. I’m against the government awarding itself powers. When I waltz into Home Depot I mask up because it’s their rule. When I roll out I take the thing off because it is not the governments right to tell me what to wear, and it’s my civic duty to pushback against unconstitutional power grabs.
if you’re high risk, stay inside, man. I’m a very healthy dude in my late 30’s. I’m very athletic. If I get it, I’ll be fine. And I will be in charge of what I do, what I wear, and where I go. it’s awful that’s a controversial statement these days. That’s something Americans, left or right, would have once applauded. Sheesh.

Please cite what article, section, or clause within the first ten amendments of the Constitution that you are referring to that allows your feelings and desires to trump the lives of your fellow citizens.
Horrible post. I’m not referring to my feelings. I’m referring to my right, and your right to peacefully assemble. Any American who doesn’t champion that is a horrible American. -

Because you say so? Right.
Wearing a mask does not violate any of your first amendment rights any more than wearing other articles of clothing to enter a place of business. Want proof? Go downtown right now wherever you live, take off all your clothes and walk around, and when the police come for you tell them the first amendment says you don’t have to wear them. Text me back from your cell.
You’re doing two things common of somebody losing an argument.1. You change your opponents argument hoping they’ll chase it like a dog after a car. My argument was the restriction on Americans to peacefully assemble. You morphed that into my being anti mask. Cool.
2. Nonsensical hyperbole — “you can’t walk around balls-out, that proves I’m right!” That’s just horribly done. -

People's lives are now just feelings and desires? And a position you hold trumps them?
Yes, my bill of rights are inalienable.

My position is in a national crisis we should all band together as Americans and your not wearing a mask says you’re OK with killing your neighbor.
That’s ridiculous — the mask comment...it’d be fair if you said “youre ok with having a .5% chance of killing your neighbor.”My position is my bill of rights trumps your feelings and desires.

Ebola dies out quickly in air. There’s a reason Ebola outbreaks die down quickly; because people get sick quickly and die quickly. Covid is a very contagious virus that spreads through the air, has a longer incubation time, and can be spread by non-symptomatic people.
As I said it would have been great to rely on individual responsibility in a public health crisis, but people were and continue to be irresponsible.
Bro, the Ebola reference was more to do with its casualty rate.
Look, people don’t return their shopping carts and some aren’t gonna wear masks. That’s life. Restriction of the bill of rights is not a solution and one I’ll lock and load against. It is a hill worthy of dying on.
If you’d sacrifice my freedom for perceived safety from a virus that fails to kill over 99% of its victims, my position is you’re a bad American. I’m not trying to insult you but I find the attitude callow and unAmerican.

I generally agree. We faced a public health crisis and governors have emergency powers under such circumstance. I would love it if we could rely on the good judgment of citizens to band together for the common good but sadly that has not been the case.
Individual responsibility.
Im terrified that you’re not terrified about the authoritarian measures that were taken over Covid....were not talking about airborne Ebola here.

Realized today that by having black employees I’m part of the problem. When I hire black people it forces them into a subservient role to me, the business “owner,” or just “owner.” By having them subservient to a white male owner, I can only imagine the fear and pain they feel from their antebellum genetic memory. The best way to fight racism is to not hire black people! Right? I’m an activist, and I’m here to help.

If you are referring to churches being closed mine was by our Republican governor under his emergency powers, and appropriately so. We switched to virtual services and our congregation continues on. Christianity is about living the Gospels and not a building.
If you're a devout Christian you'll find me woefully secular. If you're secular, you'll find me a religious extremist. I'm neither. I consider myself christian but far from practicing.
That said, I do not consent to any politicians "authority" to restrict my Bill of Rights. I will peacefully assemble wherever the **** I want, and to me that's a hill worth dying on. I'm a stickler for freedom.

I am Christian but have not been treated badly. Can you explain?
Not trying to be rude, but is this a real question? Are you unaware of multiple states restricting their populations first amendment because of Covid? I’ve got a huge problem with that. -
1 hour ago, oldmanfan said:
Yes it does. And many have done so this year. I did as part of a walk to bring attention to the racial divide in this country.
And when it turns to looting and rioting law enforcement should stop it and arrest those responsible, either left or right wing instigators.
You mistake my meaning, friend. I think your walk to end racism is stupid, while also American AF. Peacefully protesting -- I applaud you. Protesting against racism is stupid to me because I think your protesting a non-issue (disclaimer, I'm white). But, I support your right to peacefully assemble very much. I am horrified at how Christians and Jews have been treated during all of this though. Horrified.

Article 2 of the Constitution. As for the pandemic he is simply inept. And governors of states have emergency powers they can enact; my Republican governor in Indiana did so.
Well since your concerned with the constitution...doesn’t it say something about peaceful assembly?

Joe Biden has really rose to the occasion in this election. He is going to save hundreds of thousands of American lives and improve the lives of black and brown people.
I also want to thank Nancy Pelosi for her leadership these four years. With her policies working hand in hand with AOC in the progressive wing of the party we are going to change the world!
Climate Change! Equality! Morality! Health Care!
Every republican should look themselves in the mirror and change parties. I am a democrat. I am on the right side of history!
Do you love the United States? Do you believe as I do that it’s the greatest nation on the face of the earth?

No, not even close.
Hitler was basically a red neck. He left his little town and was horrified by the diversity of Vienna and how the Slavic people had gained the right to vote. Anti-democratic to the core he, like Trump, was obsessed with pageantry and the big show. But Hitler was also a reader, unlike Trump.
So I stated Trump has a legitimate grievance against Hillary, Obama and so on....and you come back with ‘no, Trump doesn’t have a grievance....also, Hitler!’ Bro...you’ve an advanced case of TDS. It’s bad.3 minutes ago, oldmanfan said:He said specifically that Article 2 means he can do whatever he wants.
Article 2 of what? What was the context in which he was saying it?Also, has Trump acted like an authoritarian during this “pandemic?” Because my eyes say no. And while Trump has not acted like an authoritarian, the same cannot be said for Democrats nationwide.
