Fool Me Once, Shame On You

[pknopp]

What about those in need who are lazy and don't want to contribute to society, not to mention often outright hurting our society by committing crimes?

I've never argued to not prosecute people who commit crimes.

I have argued to prosecute it fairly.

Insider trading steals far more money than a guy robbing the 7-11.

So, who have you voted for over the years?

I have answered this many times.

2008 Bob Barr. 2012 Vermin Supreme. 2016 Jill Stein. 2020 Jo Jorgonsen. 2024 Vermin Supreme.

I see you skipped over my question of should we support the lazy and those who don't want to work but can.

This article pretty much explains Trump's win and Democrat's loss. I don't think anyone can say it any better than this democrat himself.

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), who posted on X right after the election: “Donald Trump has no greater friend than the far left, which has managed to alienate historic numbers of Latinos, Blacks, Asians, and Jews from the Democratic Party with absurdities like ‘Defund the Police’ or ‘From the River to the Sea’ or ‘Latinx.’ There is more to lose than there is to gain politically from pandering to a far left that is more representative of Twitter, Twitch, and TikTok than it is of the real world. The working class is not buying the ivory-towered nonsense that the far left is selling.”

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me repeatedly over the years while my standard of life craters and … I’m jumping on the Trump train to see where it takes me and my family.

Opinion - Democrats are looking at a dozen years in the wilderness

A growing number of voters from within the communities the Democrats have counted on for victory are buying into the “Trump Doctrine.”

You often can't tell what's real and what isn't on the internet these days, but the guy I believe is correct that Trump won not because people like Trump all that much, but they liked what he is selling. And they hate what the Democrats have done to them and what they were selling for another four years.

What I can't understand is why so many, including our USMB leftists, are still defending them when so far they can't tell us a single thing the Democrats did that made anything better for the last four years. And I can't understand how they can embrace what the Democrats were selling for the next four years.

It really does make you wonder if what is defined as American liberalism really is a mental disorder.

I don't believe it to be much of a problem.

I've always wondered how this works as I don't know of anyone that makes a living off being lazy.

Maybe it comes down to wokism. Wokism was alive and well and flourshing under Biden and would have continued under Harris. Maybe that's the criteria they use. They certainly can't use any other criteria.

They don't really make a living off being lazy but they would rather live poor and not work than to contribute to society and people like you are willing to give them money to make their lives easier and be less poor instead of making them earn it themselves. And, we're talking millions of people here who scam local, state, the federal government, and insurance companies so they don't have to work.

So you ask me a question about something that you then confess doesn't even happen and then expect me to continue?

You've went from "being lazy" to running scams.

I already noted i support going after those who do something illegal as long as it's done in a fair manner.

Businesses get caught scamming quite often and we simply maybe make them pay part of it back.

That certainly is a huge factor. In my opinion, nobody can be 'woke' and honestly be right in the head.

How can they support policies and weakness that promote endless wars with thousands of bodies piling up?

How can they support policies that encourage tens of millions of what should be illegal migrants to flood the country soaking up resources needed by many citizens?

How can they justify crude, vulgar entertainment for children in tranny shows and/or parade displays, the same in curriculum for young children along with a philosophy that white children must see themselves as racist and black children must see themselves as victims?

How can they justify life changing surgery and dangerous drugs administered as gender affirming to minors who aren't considered mature enough to be allowed a gun, tobacco, alcohol, legal marijuana?

How can they justify men pretending to be women taking away sporting records and scholarships and endangering women and children by being allowed into their private spaces?

How can they justify spending $8 trillion that has exacerbated inflation making extreme hardship on millions of Americans and having absolutely nothing of value to show for it at the end of four years?

How can they justify weaponizing government to silence, oppress, disadvantage non Democrats and take out a political opponent in the most unjust and illegal ways they can possibly get away with?

I can go on and on.

But I just don't see how anyone of normal intelligence can justify any of that.

However bad the Trump Administration could be, I don't see how it can possibly be as bad. And many millions are hoping with all their hearts it will deliver on a lot or all of the promises made and that will be a very good thing. They liked the vision. They hated what the Democrats were selling.

I think all honorable people will at least give Trump and his team a chance to deliver over the next four years. All smart honorable people will encourage and help them as much as they can.

I don't know the shadow people that justify these things. Seems like magaturd hyperbole.

The list is what the Democrats did for four years and said they wouldn't change anything.

If you say so.
