Democrats: So "Tolerant" They End Relationships Over Politics

[SassyIrishLass]

They live to troll. Many are the same posters

My point was they're betas and when an alpha stands up to them they scurry off.

It's typical for them

Oooh magat and fascist in one post.... weren't you just complaining about that you idiot?

You're weak, Konnie

You are a scrub woman and in no competition.

You are going to be lucky to get even a cuck or an incel from the Alt Right, and, yet, there are an overwhelming many times million of them.

When you see a member of the family or a close friend who is a sincere Christian -- whether you are or not -- and then you see them sell out their religion for a guy who's essentially the opposite of the Jesus Christ they claim to follow... it's just human nature, you're going to be deeply disappointed in them, and you're going to question their real morality, not to mention their intelligence and their critical thinking skills.

That's the core of this. And it's rough when it's someone close to you.

I don't know if MAGA doesn't get that, or if it doesn't care. It looks to me like they don't care. But this is a choice they're making.

They won’t say it but they are willing to make a deal with the devil to get their agenda

Hells Gate is in Iran. You know. Those Mullahs you like to smooch their butts

So you know a guy who's breaking off relationships because of his political views. Thanks for the anecdote. Do you think it disproves the study? LOL

Did you know

Baby Boomers are more likely to fall for and share misinformation primarily due to a lower level of digital literacy, a tendency toward high congeniality bias (believing information that aligns with their existing views), and a trusting, "traditional media" mindset developed in a less sensationalized news era.

You made a pact with Satan and MAGAt for this, after Trump said no more wars.

 

[SweetSue92]

They've perverted a world religion. Pretty amazing to watch. And an important part of the story of all the destroyed families and relationships.

Well you're mentally insane now, so there's that

You just described the younger millennials and zoomers, with the exception that digital literacy has nothing to do with your point.

I'm just explaining why so many boomers are idiots who listen to Fox. And why these boomers are gullable with misinformation. The Boomer generation.

You know nothing about America.

We know you want us to fail and we aren't going to allow it.

Wrong. Elon found nothing. Have you seen the debt?

We are so fuched

Foreign investors are not completely stopping, but they are reducing their share of U.S. debt, making the U.S. rely more on domestic borrowing. Foreign holdings dropped from nearly half of all publicly held debt to about 30%, increasing U.S. borrowing costs and contributing to higher prices for Americans.

• Reasons for the Pullback: There is a massive increase in the total amount of outstanding U.S. government debt. Additionally, some countries are shifting away for risk management purposes, particularly following geopolitical tensions.
• Impact of Reduced Buying: If foreign countries stop buying U.S. debt, it could lead to higher interest rates for Americans and potentially create a recessionary impact.
• Data from late 2025 indicates a general downward trend in U.S. debt holdings by Brazil, Russia, India too

Foreign ownership of U.S. debt has fallen to approximately 31% as nations like China and India reduce exposure, though total foreign holdings remain high at roughly $9.2 trillion. Reduced foreign demand, driven by geopolitical concerns and fiscal sustainability fears, forces higher domestic absorption of debt, risking higher interest rates for American consumers.

“It used to be almost half of all publicly held debt,”

The U.S. borrowed to deal with the Great Financial Crisis, then we borrowed to deal with COVID-19. Now we’ll borrow to pay for war. Significant tax cuts across multiple administrations — 2013, 2017, 2020, and 2025 — further engorged the debt.

Foreign governments’ desire to loan money to the U.S. by buying U.S. Treasurys has not kept up for many reasons.

“The U.S. fiscal sustainability has been called into question with debt rising as much as it has,” Rodriguez said. Standard & Poor’s downgraded U.S. debt in 2011, Fitch did so in 2023, and Moody’s and European credit rating agency Scope followed suit in 2025.

Some countries have observed that holding U.S. assets exposes them to financial pressure from the U.S.

“Central banks and non-U.S. investors have looked at the U.S. use of the dollar in terms of imposing sanctions, for example, on different investors. So the ‘weaponization’ of the dollar led central banks to want to insulate themselves from that geopolitical risk,” Rodriguez said.

So foreign governments have been diversifying, asking, “is there anything else we can buy so we don’t have all our risk in the U.S.?” said Daniel Gerard, senior multi-asset strategist at State Street Global Markets. “China has expanded into British debt, into European debt, and into gold a lot more.”

Foreign investors have also been putting money in stocks instead of Treasurys especially when interest rates were low.

And investors both in and out of the U.S. in general have been more reluctant to invest in longer-term debt because of the uncertainty about the long-term economic future, Gerard said.

This raises a question: If foreign investors and foreign central banks have not been bankrolling the U.S. federal budget as much as they used to, and yet the U.S. has continued to spend, where has all the money come from?

“We've been writing IOUs faster than the rest of the world wants to collect them, and that means that more of those Treasury securities are being purchased domestically,”

America has been borrowing more from America. From banks, from U.S. investors, even recently increasing borrowing from the Federal Reserve.

To get American investors to buy all those Treasurys, the federal government has had to pay up. More than it otherwise would. And when the government has to pay higher interest, so does everyone else.

“Americans in households and businesses across the country are paying more for everything from mortgages to auto loans to credit card debt, because all of those are based on U.S. Treasury rates,” said Akabas.

Basically, somebody’s got to pick up the tab here, and if it isn’t the rest of the world… it’s us.

Propaganda^

Fail at what? We will bring America back to its once greatness, not its once failures giving into race hatred and corporate greed.
