When Emotion Is The Guiding Principle

[BlindBoo]

Looney liberals believe that feelings and emotions are more important than verified facts. ...

It just feels that way, deep down in yer gut doesn't it? It must be true,

 

[theHawk]

We’ve been heading in that direction since women have been allowed to vote. Most of them vote on emotions. Then our schools and universities do everything they can to feminize our young males, so they tend to vote more like women, on emotions.


Now we have a nation of cowards that let an election get stolen. How long do you think it will last?

If you think the patriarchy system is better try living in Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia. Be happy you live in western society.

“Patriarchy” is myth. Every society has a hierarchy, and every society includes men and women.

Make America Great Again was the ultimate emotional appeal.

Trump didn’t talk policy. He was pure emotion. Fear mostly. That was his favorite tool.

"Make America Great Again was the ultimate emotional appeal."

Not at all, you moron.....it was a fact:


Trump achievements.


“Before the China Virus invaded our shores, we built the world’s most prosperous economy,” the statement begins, noting the administration achieved an “unprecedented economic boom.”

In addition to 7 million new jobs — “more than three times government experts’ projections” — the administration said that annual income for middle-class families grew by nearly $6,000, or “more than five times the gains during the entire previous administration.”

Weeks before state and local governments began shutting down their economies, the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 3.5 percent, “the lowest in a half-century,” the administration said.

In fact, in March 2019, CBS News reported that there were a million more jobs available in the U.S. than unemployed workers — a fact noted by the administration, which said it “achieved 40 months in a row with more job openings than job hirings.”

Nearly 160 million Americans were employed pre-pandemic, another record, as “jobless claims hit a nearly 50-year low,” the White House said.

As incomes gained “in every single metro area” in the country for the first time in almost 30 years, the number of people “claiming unemployment insurance as a share of the population hit its lowest on record,” the administration said.

The list of accomplishments also noted an oft-repeated point — that during Trump’s term, blacks and Hispanics, as well as Asian-Americans and Native Americans all achieved record low unemployment rates. So, too, did Americans with disabilities and workers without a high school diploma, the administration said.

“The bottom 50 percent of American households saw a 40 percent increase in net worth,” said the administration, adding: “Wages rose fastest for low-income and blue collar workers – a 16 percent pay increase.”

Meanwhile, “African American homeownership increased from 41.7 percent to 46.4 percent,” the White House noted.

More than 1.2 million factory and construction jobs were created, as the president enacted “policies to bring back supply chains from overseas,” the list notes.

The administration also touted the meteoric growth in the various U.S. stock indices, which have been good for businesses as well as average Americans’ retirement accounts tied to the markets.

One of President Trump’s 2016 campaign pledges that went unfulfilled was the passage of a massive infrastructure rebuilding project to repair and replace aging, crumbling bridges, roads, sewers, and water systems. But the administration did manage to invest “over $1.3 billion through the Agriculture Department’s ReConnect Program to bring high-speed broadband infrastructure to rural America,” the list notes.

The administration also touted the president’s COVID-19 policies that included a rejection of “blanket lockdowns” as vital to the economic rebound seen in recent months.

“During the third quarter of 2020,” the White House said, “the economy grew at a rate of 33.1 percent — the most rapid GDP growth ever recorded.”

“Since coronavirus lockdowns ended, the economy has added back over 12 million jobs, more than half the jobs lost,” says the White House. “Jobs have been recovered 23 times faster than the previous administration’s recovery.”

The White House said that under President Barack Obama, “it took 49 months for the unemployment rate to fall from 10 percent” following the Great Recession” to under 7 percent compared to just 3 months for the Trump Administration” following the mass joblessness created by mandated business closures and the pandemic.

At the same time, “80 percent of small businesses are now up, up from just 53 percent in April.”

Additional accomplishments noted by the administration include:

— The creation of more than 9,000 “Opportunity Zones” to attract business investment and create jobs;

— Tax relief for corporations, businesses, and the vast majority of American workers;

— The elimination of reams of regulations, which has added to the country’s economic growth;

— Pursued “fair and reciprocal trade” agreements that put the United States first, including withdrawal “from the job-killing Trans-Pacific Partnership” and replacing the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA);

— “Historic support for American farmers”;

— Making the U.S. “a net energy exporter” for the first time in seven decades;

— Approved the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines;

— Increased access to the country’s “abundant natural resource in order to achieve energy independence”;

— Built more than 450 miles of new border wall and secured agreements with countries to house migrants there instead of in the U.S.;

— “Fully enforced the immigration laws” of the country;

— Got NATO countries to significantly increase their contributions to the alliance, as per their initial agreement;

— Strengthened and rebuilt the U.S. military;

— Reduced U.S. troop presence in war zones overseas;

— Brokered several historic peace deals between long-time enemies in eastern Europe and the Middle East;

— Moved the U.S. embassy in Israel to the capital of Jerusalem, though the three previous presidents pledged to do so;

— Defeated ISIS

— Sped development of two new vaccines for the COVID-19 pandemic in record time.

Now, let's see what Democrats voted for.

 

[theHawk]

We’ve been heading in that direction since women have been allowed to vote.

You didn't allow us to vote: we took it.

Lots of things can't be given, people have to take them. Voting is one of those.

No you didn’t. Women did not wage a civil war to get the right to vote. Men gave them that right.

I like that......but you should include the fact that Republicans got us the franchise, over a Democrat filibuster.

This brought you crawling in, but you couldn't find any way to refute it....





1.It is not based on any intelligent, informed understanding…..we know this because when asked

a. for Trump policies they voted against, or

b. Biden policies they voted for….

….one is met with that deer-in-the-headlights look.

This is a very simple explanation, fitting, because these are very simple people.

They follow orders, and their emotions.

 

[Dragonlady]

…rather than intellect and understanding, you vote for folks like Biden or Obama.
You call your candidate god, Jesus, and the messiah......as though you were a cult, a religion.
And you try to blame the other side for doing what you are guilty of doing.




1.It is not based on any intelligent, informed understanding…..we know this because when asked

They follow orders, and their emotions.



2. The sort with that ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ thing will neither have any compunction about repeating lies about the former President, nor even trying to support the lies…..they simply repeat them.
Like this:
“…the right supports him and supports his dictatorial drive for power. They want a dictator as long it is their dictator.” https://www.usmessageboard.com/threads/he-wants-to-be-americas-first-dictator.841760/

Can they support any such “dictatorial drive for power”?

“They want a dictator.”

This, in reference to the side that stands for individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.
“free markets, free voices, free people”

And from a side that is infamous for censorship, ‘hate speech,’ and thought crimes....and violence.





3. One would conclude that their madness is based on imagining Trump as Julius Caesar.

"Caesar was now master of Rome and made himself consul and dictator. He used his power to carry out much-needed reform, relieving debt, enlarging the senate, building the Forum Iulium and revising the calendar. Dictatorship was always regarded a temporary position but in 44 BC, Caesar took it for life."
History - Julius Caesar - BBC

I, for one, would love to see them make that argument…..beyond simply claiming so.



4. If they could, well….we’d be speaking of a Left with an intellectual ability that is clearly lacking in Democrat voters. Instead, we have control by the dumbest among us…..or, as Chris Matthews, using biblical language to describe Messiah Obama coming to the MSNBC studios to do an interview with him, “amongst” us.



5. But I would be happy to continue the analogy, and remind all that if Trump is Julius Caesar, then every Democrat voter is the back-stabber, Brutus.

You should re-title your thread : "When lies are all I have"

Donald Trump is no Julius Caesar. Caesar was man of great intellect and ability and one of the greatest Roman Leaders in history. Trump is a grossly, incompetent failure, in both business and politics.

Trump is a craven coward whose own troops refused to follow him after he tricked their leaders into joining him in attacking peaceful American protestors.

 

[hadit]

LOL Anyone watching the impeachment hearings have seen the defense was all about emotions and used slippery slope examples, making even the Federalist Society LOL at their presentation.

The Democratic presentation is logical, factual and convincing. The Evidence is being built brick by brick and has already put forth in the minds of honest people that the evidence of build by the former president is beyond any reasonable doubt; of course the author of the OP is too biased to be reasonable or honest.

Ironic poster is ironic.

 

[colfax_m]

"Make America Great Again was the ultimate emotional appeal."

Of course it was.
You can point to some successes but Trump changed the country, not back to some place of glory, but attempted to drag us down to a level we haven’t seen in modern history.

We don’t stand for human rights. America first means that’s not our priority.

We don’t stand for reliability or consistency. Our promises are subject to the whims of a poorly informed president.

We aren’t a demonstration of good governance. Our handling of COVID is an embarrassment of poor science and motivated reasoning.

We don’t stand for truth. Trump’s clearly ended any rational claim to do so.

If there was ever any doubt, the Capitol riot demonstrated that a large chunk of our population, those most devoted to Trump, have abandoned American principles.

Naaaaaaaaah, you never gave us nothing till we forced you to. Same deal in Britain; everywhere. We took it and guess what? You can't have it back.

I searched your post with my SEM/EDX electron microscope in hope of finding any hint of intelligence or examples of any lies.

Alas, none of either!


Why is that?

No you didn’t. Women did not wage a civil war to get the right to vote. Men gave them that right.

Naaaaaaaaah, you never gave us nothing till we forced you to. Same deal in Britain; everywhere. We took it and guess what? You can't have it back.

Keep telling yourself that.

Can you name one battle won by women “fighting for their rights”? You can’t because you never forced anyone. It was freely given.

We had more of that system here as the nation grew into the richest in the world. And women in that system back then were a lot stronger then many people we have living today. There is no way we can compete with the system as is. The Chinese are a patriarchy to the max. They have their goals and they will achieve them. We are living off our past. we are living off of past technologies developed and slowly released. The telling thing is all big ticket things we produce the costs are mushrooming and we are getting less and less for the cost. This with the politicians and many not being any good thinking their shit does not stink as they order big ticket items. We are going to have to go direct to companies to make products for the military and science projects just as an example without the government being a middleman causing the costs to go ballistic.

And Republicans made certain that women won.

The party of slavery, segregation, and second-class citizenship lost.

b. Biden is a man of reason, which over qualifies him above Trump on all levels to be president.

Hit the road.

Your truth is emotionally guided.

Peace deals between countries that never were at war.

Trillion dollar deficits and low interest rates in the best economy ever.

Defeating ISIS with the strategy put in place under the previous president that was already working.

Tearing up treaties and then never bothering to renegotiate.

Start a trade war that primarily harms working class Americans without a resolution.

When your list of grand achievements is spending $1 billion on rural broadband, you know you’re scraping the bottom of the bucket.
