Conservatives only: Is our country salvageable?

[Confederate Soldier]

I did not know that.
How do you?
Can you provide the forum some authoritative sourcing or citation from credible sources that are in a position to know?
Please provide the forum as sort of a public service.....as you seem to be more knowledgeable than other.

More seriously, poster westwall: If you cannot offer this venue some serious contribution that backs up your assertion then my avatar will call your avatar irresponsible.
And corrosive to our defining American tradition of an open and free vote.
To denigrate it, to dismiss it, to diminish it, to threaten it.....in un-American. To say it was a fraudulent election WITHOUT demonstrating the respect, integrity, and sense of responsibility to PROVE it......is un-American, is anti-American. So talk to your avatar and inform him that the stakes in America are too high for unserious, unthoughtful, reckless indictments agains our free vote.

You know, Old Rocks, I had seen that before. But was too unmotivated to go google it up for this thread. So thank you. And yes, MAGA-world lives on the largesse and goodwill of the the non-MAGA world. And yet they are peevishly ungrateful. They whine about it. They try to deny it. It is sad.

CS....I wonder about your locale. Sounds small-townish, small-city? Rural?

Here's the gig, and poster Faun does a better job of explaining than me, but......but if you have a highly populated precinct, and many urban precincts are with their density of housing. And oft-times that density is manifested in minority areas.

In short, you have a LOT of minority members who live in a district so voting lines are long historically. Anybody who has paid attention to voting dynamics has seen that on the telly. And read about it.
And then.......and then......you reduce the polling places again. Which makes the lines longer and longer.

So long lines in districts where minorities live and where many have jobs that will not allow them to take a few hours off in the morning to vote.....or leave work earlier to vote.
And then......you reduce or eliminate any drop-boxes where those folks who can't get off work could have dropped their secure ballot.
The actions done in 2021 by numerous Republican state legislatures were done to reduce voter access. To narrow and limit the vote. And that is what those bills will do.

Ditto.
Ditto.

I live near a small city. Population is around 95% white.


Y'all blow this WAY out of proportion making this somehow racist. It isn't. An inconvenience? Maybe. Racist and oppressive? No.

Every single one of those laws is to make it harder to commit fraud!

You have argued nothing of substance. Those laws make it harder to vote. You can't commit fraud if 1600 polling places are closed in minority areas. You can't commit fraud if polls are closed early, and you are still in line. You can't commit fraud when Republicans purge your vote illegally. You can't commit fraud when election officials do not like the outcome of an election, then decide to select who they want, cancelling the value of your vote. You can't commit fraud by reducing absentee voting. You cannot commit fraud, by making it harder to vote out of precinct. All those laws are designed to keep you from voting. Anyone with a functioning brain and one honest bone, knows this. Why are you barricading yourself with lies?

 

[Mac1958]

The country is surely salvageable.

The problem is, we no longer have the capacity to fix or improve anything.

So...

 

[BWK]

Oh? Here are 17 cases of election fraud...

... how many of them were Democrats?

They have proven time and time again, they don't want every legal eligible voter to vote. They know they have to cheat to win.

But the lies and dishonesty, wow. They refuse to let that go.

 

[BWK]

Right, like "Democrat weather." When it rains, Dems don't vote.

Republicans ALWAYS vote. No matter what. Any tiny impediment will stop Dems -----------

Because they're lazy bums.

Republicans have better access to the polls. Minorities do not. Republicans closed 1600 in minority areas for Gods sake. Do you really think people are that fucking stupid not to see what's going on?

No wonder you don't see voter suppression. That's funny right there.

Reagan was busy rebuilding the USA military that Carter had defunded and demolished to advance the Leftist socialist agendas, as well as funding the war in Afghanistan against the Soviets. Considering the result was the collapse of the USSR and end of decades old Cold War, we got our money's worth.

Meanwhile, the tab wasn't that great if you compare to the creeping inflation from previous admins. and the higher deficits of those that followed.

You continue to come across as one whom never had to deal with a P&L ledger.

How much money did we spend in Afghanistan, fighting a war with folks we originally armed? $2 trillion dollars. Rebuilding our military and thousands of lives lost to a twenty year manufactured war, was not a sound investment. Manufactured wars have cost us heavily, and they damn sure weren't worth it. Look at the ledger

 

[BWK]

What a pile of delusional lies!
Hardly anyone I know whom is in small business is Regressive and of the loonie Left. All the loonie Left is good for is parasitic theft from producers. Most Regressives and Leftists are not productive workers and are anti-profit, showing they are ignorant of basic economics.
In politics, regressive and Leftist leaders of recent decades have next to no experience in wealth creation, the Clintons, Obamas, and Bidens, et al having spent the bulk of their careers sucking off the taxpayer tit and living off of OPM (Other People's Money).

I'm someone whom has taken risks, owned small businesses, and been an employer, so my view is one from the economic trenches.

It's the regressives and Left that want to drag this nation back to the FDR 1930s.

Your complaint would be more convincing if you weren’t a lib, living in other people’s wallets.

Introducing Ed's 'vulture chart'

Here`s why the "vulture capitalist" attacks on Mitt Romney by Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry are very effective.

You need to factor inflation. Also Obama outdid Reagan with his doubling the Deficit.
To be honest, it's Congress that does it, the POTUS either signs off approving or declines and shuts down the guv'mint.

Meanwhile, like most loonie Leftists, you obviously don't know math or how to read the data in the debt clock link, or use it's "time machine" function.

Reagan didn't inherit the Great Recession, Obama did. Get a clue.

 

[BWK]

There was MASSIVE vote fraud.

You are a liar as always. The only voter fraud was that of Republicans, and it failed.

 

[BWK]

Yes America can be salvaged.

But it's going to require someone who is strong willed with strong convictions and willingness to do some serious weeding in the garden. They also need to have a deep seeded love for America, Americans and American values. Someone who will put the need of the country first.

That's not Trump. He's all in it for himself. Just look at how many fell by the wayside covering for his ass.

 

[BWK]

Nothing. But open the borders, kill the pipeline, race bait, destroy the morale in our military, and shit himself in front of the Pope.

Your answers are retarded. Grow the fuck up.

 

[BWK]

When our govt is purged of the bureaucrats and Socialist/ Communist wing of political parties our country will heal itself with law and order and truth and fairness equality and inclusion if people are allowed to make free choices .

There is no communist wing that you can prove. You are a liar.

 

[TheParser]

Do you think our country is hopeless?

Yes, I do.

But I shan't say why.

First, I am a nobody, so my opinion would have no effect anyway.

Second, the reason I say this nation is washed up is too hurtful to say in public, but I have NO doubt there are a lot of other people in this country who agree with my reason.

 

[BackAgain]

Hey stupid fuck, that is always the meme of assholes like you. Yet it is the red states that are the welfare states, and are supported by the liberal blue states. You guys are such ignorant liars, willfully ignorant, and proud of it.

• The 2020 elections, chaotic and marked by races “too close to call,” have nonetheless reaffirmed that, at least in Washington, the two parties now speak for markedly different segments of the U.S. economy.
• President Donald Trump carried 2,497 counties across the country that together generate 29% of the American economy, according to a new study by the Brookings Institution.
• President-elect Joe Biden won 477 counties that together generate 70% of U.S. GDP.
• These differences, if they persist or worsen, could result in partisan gridlock for years to come, a researcher wrote.

If it weren't for we libs, you silly "Conservatives" would be in a depression. A bunch of know nothings that always vote against their own interests.

Your delusions about the economy under liberalism vs under conservatism are almost as unpersuasive as your illogical mutterings about “AGW.”

 

[BWK]

I just don't live in constant fear.

Sure you do, or why else would you be in favor of 400 voter suppression bills targeting minorities?

 

[Anomalism]

Do you not feel like an arrogant moron when you tell somebody what their position is rather than asking?
