It doesn’t even slightly matter if my perspective into the American left has the wisdom of Solomon of the loutishness of Archie Bunker - you are tediously repeating yourself and contributing nothing. How many variations on “put them all in camps!” do you plan to use between now and November? Fifty? Sixty?
You are not contributing to your cause, you are reducing it to background noise.
Okay, so what should I do?
I grew up in this country. I’ve lived in its different regions. I know you think both sides are the same, but they aren’t.
My God, you’re dumb. Of course your Republicans are insane, I get inundated with news from your fucked-up pseudotheocracy insane asylum of a country, without even the benefit of losing anything in translation, but if every post I wrote was about how much of a fucked-up pseudotheocracy insane asylum of a country you have, don’t you think I’d soon be written off as repetitive and with nothing else to contribute?
Yes, because you’re a Canuck. You ain’t one of us. You don’t understand how this works.
I grew up in Shitkicker land. I know how these pigs think. You don’t have the ability to relate - just trust me when I tell you that. You did not grow up in a society that lived with the legacy of Jim Crow, of Reconstruction.
Don 't flatter yourself or your sisterfucking kluxklanning hicktopia by presuming to have some kind of air of mystery about either of you. Dumbassery in all its shades is everywhere and the American flavour is about as exotic as ketchup-and-mayonnaise soup, served lukewarm. There’s literally nothing you can say about the ugly underbelly (and indeed in recent years the ugly overbelly) of America that will shock or even surprise me, and you saying that same nothing over and over and over and over is why I’ve lost patience with you. Yes, America sucks and has for a very very long time and looks like it will for the immediate future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention in your last fifty posts. I look forward eagerly to your next fifty, I swear on the heart of the baby Jeebus.
Heh. Well said.
Being cruel is the name of his game.
I endorse this post.
Canadians keeping it real.
Canada > American (brains)
p.s. You need a white fetus enslaving a minority, like a black or Mexican.
Nothing scientific, but ISTM based on my personal experience growing up as the son of an active duty Army officer and being career active duty enlisted myself, the political persuasions of the military members tended to be Republican for the enlisted and Democratic for the officers. I would’ve thought it would be the other way around, given that too many enlisted members require federal/state financial assistance to even feed their families. Interesting tidbit related to that is that my oldest brother, while he was a cadet, wrote a paper showing how the US military itself is a socialist institution. He showed the paper to me, but never showed it to our father.
What? You don’t think Canada has shitkickers, etc., now, not to mention prejudicial legislation in the not so distant past? Or, worse yet, people getting away, literally, with murder for years.
Anyway, the shitkickers in the US practically worship the past that included Jim Crow laws precisely because that past included Jim Crow laws. And that’s why I refuse to call that generation “the greatest generation”. If they were so damn great, why did they institutionalize and perpetuate horrid racist policies and laws?
I can understand someone with money being Republican. As I’ve moved up in tax bracket I wish I kept more of each increase instead of less.
What I can’t understand is how it’s the dirt poor, can’t buy dirt unless it’s on sale, don’t have a pot to piss in poor people that are the most fervent Trump supporters.
And they don’t even care that nothing he does will actually help them.
They’d rather stay poor if it means they can stay racist. Or something.
p.s. to Post #26258: My brother was a cadet at West Point.
They’re fine with living in a cardboard box, as long as someone else doesn’t have a box.
Ayup. A frequent poster at a blog I follow, Davis X. Machina, formulates it thus (not quite a direct quote, but close):
They would volunteer to live with their families in a cardboard box under a bridge, cooking sparrows on an old curtain rod, as long as the black family in the next cardboard box didn’t have a sparrow or a curtain rod to cook it on.
What’s up with this Manchin fuck? Is he a Republican mole? Or is it just a case of standard inbred West Virginians have no opposable thumbs?
Bolding above mine.
Did you see Mississippi Burning? Remember that conversation between the FBI agent and the Black sharecropper about the value of the Black sharecropper’s land compared to the land of his neighbor, the white sharecropper?
Black Sharecropper: Do you know my land is worth more than his, even though we have the same amount of land and grow the same crops?
Agent Ward: Why is that?
Black Sharecropper: I don’t live next to a n~." (Laughs.)
Yep, that’s pretty much it. All the dirt poor people have in some parts is what they were born with: their race. And there’s one way to make themselves really feel a hell of a lot better, I mean feel really damn good, about that: abuse those of other races.
I recall a laid of miner saying, “I voted for him because he said we’d bring coal back.”
And the miner believed him? :eek: :smack:
Enough to vote for him.
