How to manipulate the masses....

[martybegan]

That's just a couch fucker self proclaiming himself a speaker for the American people. He is now giving Mike Pence a run for his money in the milquetoast white guy world championship.

There is no strength in this 'new' disaster administration 2.0. Only EOs.

Again repeating the made up thing they guy who made it up admitted to making up.

This is why you are losing.

You think I care if it's made up?

 

[martybegan]

You should.

It's why your side is losing right now.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

You should.

It's why your side is losing right now.

I don't have a side. I give zero fucks if democrats are 'losing'. Just know you're a colossal moron voting the way you do.

You have a side, you just cling to the illusion of your "independence" like a moron.

Our political system is binary at the federal level as well as most of the State levels. You don't get to pretend you are beyond the system without being called out for being a giant poseur.

Whatever. I disagree. Conversation over.

I've noticed that in MAGA world, intelligence is not measured by an ability to gather and apply knowledge, it's not about intellectual elasticity or the effective leverage of critical thinking skills.

In MAGA world, you're smart if you say stuff I agree with.

So MTG and Trump are smart, Obama and Clinton are dumb.

They maintain their own proprietary definitions in the alternate universe.

Yep, they are smart, they know they're smart because... well there is no because, they just are.

 

[frigidweirdo]

If trump was ignoring his campaign promises you would be a happy alien camper in whatever far flung land you reside in

But in fact he’s closed the border and is steadily downsizing the government

And how many campaign promises did you see from whatever far flung land you reside it? And how many of them has he stuck to?

 

[frigidweirdo]

It's turkeys voting for Thanksgiving, dumbass. We have Lasagna for Christmas.

The more you white upper middle class limo progressives complain about the electorate, the more they will leave you.

Yeah, of course I'm dumb and you're smart. Exactly what we've been talking about, see posts 58 and 67.

Turkeys voting for Christmas - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"Turkeys voting for Christmas​

Turkeys voting for Christmas is an English idiom used as a metaphor for a situation in which a choice made is clearly against one's self-interest. In the United Kingdom, turkeys are commonly eaten as part of the English Christmas dinner."

Yeah, I'm dumb because you don't know shit.

Why do you have a problem with white people?

He was told to. And he's very obedient to his masters.

 

[frigidweirdo]

Both parties suck…it’s just that one just sucks sooooo much more.

Have you ever been to the disgusting shitholes of Mexifornia and Loon York…do you see the filth and degradation voters create there? Why would we want the fucked in the head freaks in those shitholes building the rest of the nation?

The problem here is, you've spent ZERO TIME looking into Proportional Representation.

So, when you've tried to understand that (which you won't) then maybe we can have a conversation about it.

 

[daveman]

So, when saying how bad Republicans are, all you say are "Democrats are bad"???

How about changing the country, the electoral system, so that things ACTUALLY WORK?

Things actually worked last November. Just because you don't like how America voted doesn't mean the system's broken.

I am an American citizen living in America

In 45 days on the job trump is working toward and keeping numerous campaign promises such as largely stopping the illegal alien invasion of the southern border

So you're saying Trump supporters are dumb.

Why is it okay when you do it?

Of course you don't.

But you believe it anyway.

Yet another leftist insisting he knows what's in everyone's self-interest.

Not coincidentally, it just happens to be voting to keep Democrats in power.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Of course you don't.

No, it's hilariously random, weird and perfect to me.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Trump learned how to manipulate stupid people, and there are a LOT OF STUPID PEOPLE out there.

Yeah, the world is all about how to screw people over. It's why we have the expression "turkeys voting for Christmas".

Mad because we could have a better world, but we don't, because of this.

Leftism has never made a better world for anybody in all of history. Quite the opposite.

Depends on what you mean by "worked".

In the US system you have people on two different sides telling people what to think.

The Koch Brothers picked up on the idea in 1980 after losing the Presidential election (one of them was VP candidate for the Libertarian Party).

Instead of trying to get elected, they decided to change right wing politic. And have they changed the politics? Definitely. It's gone crazy.

And the Democrats have gone crazy too.

So, people are growing up with this crazy politics and thinking it's NORMAL.

Now, let's take Germany.

They also have a crazy right wing party, the AfD. They actually did well in the last election 10 days ago.

They got 20.8% of the vote. Although this was higher in former East German regions and lower in former West German regions. Why do you suppose that is? But the AfD didn't get enough to lead a government, the CDU/CSU got 28% of the vote, so it'll be a coalition of CDU/CSU and AfD and die Linke.

But what does this say?

A) that in Germany they have political parties that represent different political thoughts. So you have traditional left, traditional right, center right, green left, further left and further right.

B) People have a choice and don't need to vote NEGATIVELY.

In the US people who are fed up with the Democrats don't get to vote for another, different, left wing party. So they can choose to vote AGAINST the Democrats or AGAINST the Republicans.

In Germany, they just vote for a party they think will represent them.

C) It's easy to punish political parties.

So, the SPD were in govt, people think they did badly, so they didn't vote for the SPD. They went from 25% in 2021 to 16% in 2025. That's 9% of people who stopped voting for them. That punished them severely. Die Linke gained 4% of the vote.



So, overall German politics is much more healthy. The PEOPLE have control over their politics. THE PEOPLE decide who their government will be.

In the US, if the country had PR, many people would NOT vote for the Reps or the Dems. Looking at Germany where 27% of the country voted traditional right and 16% voted traditional left... that's 43% voting for the main two parties.

You can see why the Dems and the Reps put so much money into telling people they're the only solution, and nobody talks about changing the electoral system, because they'd lose out, and the country would benefit.

Leftism has never made a better world for anybody in all of history. Quite the opposite.

Without "leftism" you wouldn't have pensions, you would have a safety net, you wouldn't have work safety, you would be subsistence farmers.

And I doubt you have much knowledge of politics in the world to even make such a claim.
