If Good Always Triumphs Over Evil, Then Why Is Our Country Currently In Such A Bad State?

[Chillicothe]

"Actually our Country is in good shape. We still have the inherent freedoms written down in the 1st ten Amendments to the Constitution and we are still allowed to pursue happiness. It's up to citizens to keep our Constitutional values intact"

Well said, WH.
And not only that, our economy is vibrant and productive and far better than any other large country's economy. Employment is very high. Unemployment very low. Demand for labor off the charts...'We-Are-Hiring' ads are ubiquitous. Wages are increasing. Inflation subsiding (and overall lower than all other large country's for the last 4 years, including the Covid aftermath.) Home owner's equity is increasing as their home and likely largest investment is appreciating. Our agriculture is productive and thriving. Exports are strong. We are producing more petroleum than ever before in our history.

Only the perennial boo-birds, ne'er-do-wells, and chronic snowflakes are whining about the American economy. IMHO

"In your heart you know how the Democrats stole it."

Well, to be honest, in my heart, and my head......I do not.
Why don't you explain "how the Democrats" stole the 2020 election.
And helpfully....prove it with credible sourcing of informed people who are in a position of responsibility to know.

And Carl, Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, and USMB poster EMH.......should not be on your submitted list of 'credible sourcing'.

Just saying.

Link please. You supported Joe Biden doing this, now you're worried about karma

BTW, I get that you don't understand "evil " But I really don't care what you understand

You can listen to his speeches and hear him, so, no, you don't get any traction acting like MAGA bonehead.

 

[Mac1958]

Really?

You really don't think Trump and his soul-for-sale VP are being a just A LITTLE evil when they keep repeating blatant lies about how Trump won the 2020 election, but it was supposedly stolen?

I think we overuse hyperbolic words to the point where they no longer have meaning.

Then it just becomes a pie fight and nothing gets accomplished. When nothing gets accomplished, we decay.

I'm the first to admit that I don't understand politics -- more specifically, the point of the behaviors. But I do know that this ain't working.

You KNOW Trump and his new VP are shamelessly lying to the American people, telling them them over and over that an election was stolen, that our justice system is corrupt, that our democracy doesn't work and that we need millitary to take care of enemies within.

Can't even call THAT evil? If not then whats the point of having that word in the dictionary?

 

[Mac1958]

So no you don't think it's evil of Trump and his new VP to shamelessly lie to American people, to tell them that election was stolen from them? That our elections and democracy do not work?

No, can't even call THAT evil?

"Evil" just isn't a word I use. He's unwell, incredibly needy, incredibly insecure, incredibly dishonest, and incredibly shameless.

 

[AntonToo]

"Evil" just isn't a word I use. He's unwell, incredibly needy, incredibly insecure, incredibly dishonest, and incredibly shameless.

So it's not evil to shamelessly lie to American people, a third of whom take your word as gospel, that an American election was fraudulently stolen? That our justice system is completely corrupt. That our democracy doesn't work and millitary needs to be used to go after enemy within? All because you are not man enough to admit electoral loss and conceed power for the good of your country?

What the fuck does Trump have to do, that you would call evil? Kill a kitten?

I don't use the word evil either when responding to Trumptards, because it's not convincing, but I sure as hell know thats what it looks like. This is the stuff that brutal, illiberal autocracies are made of. Do you know what it looks like?

 

[Care4all]

Link please.

There's zero evidence that Joe Biden has directed any law enforcement agency to prosecute any political adversaries. Its a fantasy MAGA made up, because directing law enforcement to target political opponents is something they would do.

Yep! 100% correct.

Sometimes it takes a very long time to take place.
The story of Job comes to mind. It is individuals, not countries, to whom this applies.

That's what's worrying me about the upcoming election. I believe that good is going to prevail this time, but evil definitely won last time.

in order to advance the discussion of your topic, perhaps you can provide some of your own content illustrating how you define "Good and Evil".

I wasn't sure if I could reply to this since it's in red but it looks more like a suggestion than a mod order so... I define evil as war and chaos. Such as open borders, defunding the police, revoking the second amendment, etc.

 

[Hollie]

Well, if you work from the assumption that 'God' is all powerful, then presumably the election results is in 'His' purview. And consequently, the 2020 results were what God wanted.

So why then would the election results comply with your will rather than 'God's'?

Theologically speaking, its some weak fucking tea to conclude that results you like are 'god's will', and results you don't like are against 'god's will'. Omnipotent either has meaning, or it doesn't.

Ahh, " the gods did it".

The gods chose a bumbling old fool and a bumbling, cackling moron as his VP in the last election.

Super. So people aren't responsible for the choices they make.

Good gawd, The upside down world of the leftist, hyper-religious stooge.

The border isn’t open.
The police are defunded.
The second amendment hasn’t been revoked.

 

[Road Runner]

The border isn’t open.

Yes it is.

The police are defunded.
The second amendment hasn’t been revoked.

I know that those things haven't happened yet but katsteve2012 wanted me to define evil.

I don't give "orders". It was a suggestion. I only put it in red because I'm not a thread participant.

That aside, your definition above provides a platform that you can stand on, and may help you keep the discussion on topic.

Thanks.

No problem as I thought that you were only trying to help.

Since people like yourself have the whole good vs. evil question totally ass backwards it's no wonder that in your opinion evil wins!

It's amazing that you can support a treasonous, whore-mongering, thieving, con man like Trump, then believe you are on the side of 'Good'.

In the words of Obi-Wan Kenobi:

"You want to go home and rethink your life"

Seriously...

It looks like you define evil using Trumps talking points.
In reality, slavery was evil.
The massacres of Natives was evil.
The Trail of Tears was evil.
The kidnapping of Native children was evil.
What you listed has never happened

Carl in Michigan - this applies to you as well!

The U.S. is not at war
The U.S. is not in a state of chaos other than having the possibility of another Trump Presidency.
The U.S. borders are not open.
The police have not been defunded.
No one is going to, or even try, to revoke the second amendment.

Please try to break out of your Trump induced delusional stupor!

No, it does not. It's all Donald, all the way.
