I cannot find it now, but I thought I saw an article online saying that given how many liberals are becoming gun owners that some conservatives hope that liberals buying guns will make the new liberal gun owners more conservative and adopt more conservative positions. As for myself, I hope not. cinematic truthful daydreamer
I do not want to lose pattern recognition or object permanence. I do not want to reverse positions and tell people I have not reversed positions. I do not want to lack any understanding of cause and effect. I do not want to go through life saying that up is down, black is white and night is day. staple newscast Slovak
Conservatives will fight tooth and nail for a fetus, but fight tooth and nail against health care, education, clean air and water, minimum wages, anything that might help the poor or middle class after they are born. I do not think it is just because they want to control women. I also think it is because they love to tell themselves they are doing something to make the world a better place without doing the hard work of actually making it better. sorority textured paymaster
They support tax cuts for the wealthy, thinking time and time again that it will make everyone’s lives better, when it just accelerates the race to the bottom. Lower taxes sound nice, but they never have the promised effects. At best they are neutral. At the federal level they increase the debt. At the state level they cause bad roads and four-day school weeks. sopping Sabbaths vilification
They think science is a hoax when the scientific method tells us that the universe is more than 6,000 years old and humans are changing the climate, but they have no problem when the scientific method gives us more efficient ways to drill for oil or mine coal. Eurasian insole Stephen
I was living in Illinois when George Ryan and Rod Blagojevich were sent to prison. While the prosecutor who put Ryan away was a Republican, a LOT of Rethuglicans wanted him released. The law firm Winston & Strong, led by Rethuglican former governor Jim Thompson, provided $10 million worth of legal services for Ryan’s defense. Democrats did not defend Blagojevich. I am now in Texas, and for most of my time here Ken Paxton has been the attorney general. He was under indictment under state charges most of that time. He was given a mulligan in his impeachment trial by Rethuglicans in the Senate. Most Rethuglicans covered for grifting idiot Trump in his two impeachments, and the few Republicans who voted against grifting idiot Trump were primaried out. The parties are not the same, and I do not want to be like them at all. antibiotic gloaming shamefaced
Both W and grifting idiot Trump passed tax cuts for the rich. A lot of people say that grifting idiot Trump remade the Rethuglican party, but at the end of the day, it is still about party over country and making a different set of rules for the wealthy. Liverpudlian officiates spitfires
Obama passed the Affordable Care Act, the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and ConsumerProtection Act, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010. Biden passed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the Build Back Better Act, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the CHIPS and Science Act. Democrats plant seeds, Rethuglicans eat the seed corn. They are not the same. Popocatepetl denial expertise
They say they have guns to fight back against tyrannical government. Yet they backed law enforcement during Black Lives Matter, and they are backing ICE raids and not demanding due process. They have no problem when other people are tred upon. It was never about freedom for all, but freedom for them to oppress. Horthy Aspidiske strainers
And then there is the Epstein matter. Grifting idiot Trump campaigned on releasing the Epstein files, AG Blondie said the client list was on her desk, then there was no list, and grifting idiot Trump said that we should stop talking about Epstein, there are not Epstein files, then there are but it was a hoax made up by Democrats (even though Democrats never used this supposed hoax against grifting idiot Trump). Now Mike Johnson wants a recess until September to avoid a vote on the Epstein evidence. The FBI needs time to scrub grifting idiot Trump’s name from the files. Nearly every Rethuglican voted against releasing the Epstein files in a recent House vote. Conservatives and Republicans pushed Pizzagate and QAnon, and now they want to bury the whole thing. To them it was never about stopping sexual predators. It was just something they thought they could use as a weapon against Democrats. silting stripling rehabilitating
I think grifting idiot Trump is all over the Epstein files. He was involved. Yes, there are pictures of Epstein with Bill Clinton, but a lot more of Epstein with grifting idiot Trump. A few comments on Reddit pointed out a few interesting things: The photos of Epstein with grifting idiot Trump were taken from the early 1990s to the mid-2000s, before smart phones and mostly before hand-held digital cameras. It is a lot of photos from a time when taking photos was more cumbersome. Another point: it is only in these photos that we see grifting idiot Trump looking happy. sordidly Enkidu unilateral
Usually grifting idiot Trump is angry. Why is he so angry? He was born into wealth, married three mostly attractive women (got to deduct points for marrying grifting idiot Trump), he was famous (though not loved), and now he is president. Yet he is constantly complaining about how unfair everything is. There is something wrong with this guy. falloffs falsity Diana
This is the guy that conservatives have hitched their star to. A petty, stupid, inarticulate grifter. They have cast aside many would-be saviors and heroes they worshipped, like W and Sarah Palin. For a long time they loved Reagan. Now they cling to this guy out of all people. John Maynard Keynes said, “When the facts change, I change my mind.” Protecting grifting idiot Trump is not an intelligent reason to change your mind. sprain Grafton reciprocity
Not to mention that red states have worse stats on health care, education, drug use, infant and maternal mortality, and they get more in federal money than they pay in taxes. The exception is Texas, but then they have been asking people from blue states to move to Texas. megapixels saxes promoter
Isn’t it interesting that red state Rethuglican governors never want each others’ citizens? If you have a better deal than all the other states, it should not matter to you where they come from. Yet they act like it does. adjusters thermoplastics patiently
As one poster on the Liberal Gun Owners subreddit put it: I would rather disagree with the Democratic Party on guns and agree with them on most other topics than agree with Rethuglicans on guns and disagree with them on everything else. underpants handlers urethra
2025-07-24_01.39.45 addendum: I forgot to add a couple of links: Republican Sexual Predators, PDF File Protectors (“PDF file” sounds similar to a word that gets flagged at a lot of sites) which is another site about the same topic, and the Not A Drag Queen subreddit chronicling all the headlines of conservatives who commit “PDF file” crimes. albatross appreciation hoes
