You raise interesting points. A well thought out post. That said Where do you stand on BLM. I read through your whole post but correct me if I’m wrong I don’t think you talked about the racial issues that are being propagated by politicians in our country.
On the idea that America has a racist imperialist evil history which is propagated mostly by democrats but also by some Republicans like Adam Kinzinger and Liz cheny.
BLM was a legit movement initially. But then the radicals took over. Along with them came the violent destruction that brought out the racist in that movement. White folks like me couldn't stand with them under any circumstances. Especially when the left were overlooking the racism and destruction.
One thing that caught my eye early on in that movement, was how BLM could never seem to find an innocent, drug free, non-criminal to make it's martyr. They had to used druggy thugs like George Floyd to try and prove how bad the system was.
I am a lifelong Democrat and I voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. But in my view the Democratic Party changed drastically from 2016 to 2020 by supporting anti-American ism the idea that we are specifically racist the idea that all white people including homeless white people are privileged. Now that on its face it’s not only false it is hurtful to the country and it is very dangerous.
The radical progressives pulled a fast one on you guys. Much like Trump has done to the GOP since 2015. I've never seen that white privilege. No one ever gave me a break just because I was white. One thing is for sure today, white males are the only demographic in the USA that are allowed to be discriminated against.
I will vote for Republicans who oppose racial division. Even if the same Republicans might not be speaking out in favor of unions as much as I like. Although Donald Trump has spoken in favor of unions so I like that.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I think the most critical thing in our country right now are how politicians and the left-wing media supporters are propping up racial division how they constantly talk about race put this stuff in our face. Who was it that brought us the mobs destroying statues in this country it ….was left-wing Democrats this was something that is an attack on history. The LGBT grooming all put in our face. The rise of pornography the rise of Pornography even on Instagram and social media this is such a huge issue it is affecting the youth of our country. The rise of single men the numbers of single men have gone up incredibly high. So these are critical issues for our country to address and it seems like Democrats none of them are doing the right thing on it and frankly not a lot of Republicans are either but the Republicans most especially Donald Trump seem to be the only hope to address these issues what do you think?
I don't trust Trump as far as I can throw him. But like you, I don't think he's racist. The rise of single men has come because us, the youths fathers, have been put through the ringers in divorce court. Always have been. But today, having to not only pay child support. But are also put on the hook for their health insurance and sometimes even college. Restricted visitations because it's so easy for the woman to lie and make it even harder on the father.
My two sons watched their mom cheat on me, and her next two husbands. They watch me and the next guy have to give up our homes to her. Their last step dad, a good guy, they watched his ex take him to court at least twice a year for more money or benefits.
They're both now in their mid 20's and don't think any woman is worth going through all that. Especially since 95% of their friends are already paying child support.
Being gay, or at least BI, is the easy route. They don't have to worry about giving birth to a son that's gonna wanna be a daughter when it's 10 years old.
Are you saying that if Donald Trump is the 2024 Republican nominee you won’t vote for him? Doesn’t that mean it’s a vote for Democrats?
No, that means it's not a vote for Trump. The left and the right use that same ploy. Democrats say If I don't vote for their candidate, then it's a vote for the republican. Republicans say the same exact opposite. So, if that's true, then my non voting cancels out each other.
Me personally, it's just a matter of voting for only those who "earn" my vote. I'm done with just being talked into it. And I'm done with voting out of fear. As in "voting for the lesser of two evils." That is simply voting out of fear. Fear that the other guy will be worse.
The way DeSantis is running FL, he's earning my vote.
Because I think that Democrats and Democrats on the US messageboard have no leg to stand on whatsoever simply bc slavery was a global issue ….and all of the things that the people like Christopher Columbus has been accused of so have Indians and Black people throughout history. So they have no leg to stand on whatsoever.
Democrats conveniently forget that there has been more white slaves in history, than any other race. So when they're spouting of their "history," they don't go any further back than the US slave trade. Nor do they mention that the first black US slave was owned by a black man. And that most of the slaves that were brought over from Africa, were slaves when they were bought. Slaves to black people in Africa.
They also tend to forget that it was the white man who freed the slaves, desegregated schools, passed the civil rights bill and ended Jim Crow laws.
Another very important aspect of all this, is the fact that the USA, even today, is still populated by 60% whites and only 13% blacks. So if things tend to leans towards whites, it's because we hold a HUGE majority of the population.
Are you saying you’re going to sit out an election and affectively give a vote to Democrats who stand for this type of anti-American ism. Which we have seen is destructive for the country it appears to be leading to violence it certainly appears to get into the heads of Americans who when they hear that from politicians and believe it ….they lose hope in the country they think to them selves what do I care about this country Ill go to rob this 7-Eleven or if I attack somebody ? I truly believe that there is a correlation between the rise of crime in America at least a correlation between people who rob stores who attack people and the rise of BLM.
If there's not a fiscal conservative on the ballot, I will sit this one out. Monetary issues like spending, the debt, the deficit, the borrowing, printing and the devaluation by over inflating the USD, is IMO the most important issue. Simply because the dollar and it's value touches almost every single aspect of our lives.
It's the reason why a jug of milk is $4 per gallon. It's the reason why so many American companies send US jobs to Mexico or China. It's the reason why our trade deficit with China is so high. Because with an average wage of $20hr, it's impossible for American companies to compete globally, and still pay their employee's such a high wage.
If our currency was more like China's, where $20K per year was a middle class wage, we'd have more manufacturing jobs. Have you noticed the amount of middle age people working fast food and convenient stores?
If our dollar was equal to the Yuan or the Peso, American companies would come back to the US in droves.
Equalizing the dollar with they Yuan or the Peso, would increase it buying power 75%. It's lost 75% of is buying power since the Reagan RINO's took over.
Trump is a monetary moron, who believes we can "just print more money." Regardless of the fact that doing that, is what has gotten us into this situation.
