The rational part of my brain says, "okay maybe a bunch of people simply won't give an answer because he's barely started his presidency" but it is still insane that Trump at any point would have +6 net approval Even if barely anything changes, Trump will say the economy is great again, crime is over, immigration is fixed, and world peace is achieved, and I guess we'll see if half the country still believes it come a few years from now
dabunique Posted January 22 Posted January 22 oh so he revoked da equal employment opportunity act of 1965 last night

Libtards are basically conservatives with conscience— who refer it not out of altruism or genuine care but out of egotistic self righteousness.

There are still some legal protections codified in legislation, but this was a big one dating back to LBJ, and probably sets the stage for further overturning of minority employment protections 1

Thuggin Posted January 22 Posted January 22 It's funny how at one point we all thought the steady decline of religiosity in this country post-9/11 would lead to more trust in science and flourishing of social progressivism. In reality, while people may be going to church less, they're less in touch with the purported teachings of Jesus but more in touch with the purely tribalistic aspect of the religion they inherited from their parents. And also more susceptible to being taken advantage of by charlatans as they look for new absolute truths. I guess most people will always crave simple answers so they feel like they have control over their lives. 8
ClashAndBurn Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Thats the thing about the Dems though. They aren't weak at all! They fight VERY forcefully…. Against the left, and for their donor base. Much moreso than they do against the right wing. But they've made it clear they do not want us in their coalition, yet consistently lash out and blame us when they lose. 2 2
Marianah Adkins Posted January 22 Posted January 22 2 minutes ago, FameFatale said: This issue is one part where the Republicans always manages to get under the Dems skin. We should be upholding the rights of undocumented laborers not only as residents but also as workers and yet you have libtards proudly displaying their smug contempt of them, always referring to them as "the ones who will clean their toilets, clean the streets. Republicans arent any better (they are way worse) but they get one thing right with pointing that these undocumented workers are basically legalized slaves (as usual with the Repugs, they cut out the essential detail that they are legalized for the sake of corporations wanting cheap and disposable labor). 2 1
Thuggin Posted January 22 Posted January 22 It just will never make sense to me that the majority of this country has become this right-wing on immigration. Because if you're supporting mass deportations from a cost saving perspective - rather than being against the "browning of America" - that hypothesis falls apart under the mildest scrutiny. Basically if you simply think about it for more than 10 seconds. You're going to take millions of people who are already feeding, sheltering, and clothing themselves, and now spend a lot of money from the rest of us to continue doing those things? At least until they can be deported. But first you have to burden law enforcement to round them up and detain them, and I'm sure they'll need more funding for that. AND you need to hold trials for them, unless Trump decides undocumented people aren't entitled to due process. And then even if you do deport them, you need to arrange transportation for millions of people. All to do what exactly? Lose out on the tax revenue they do contribute while not being able to obtain the same benefits that legal citizens do? And of course it shouldn't even need explaining why deporting even some people who were born here is asinine. What country will take them? But Americans are so myopic they don't even care to think that far ahead. Hell, they're probably okay with tossing them in the Atlantic Ocean and letting them swim to the nearest country. 1 1
Thuggin Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Sometimes I really hate being in tech. Because why are the tech overlords so cartoonishly evil? Wonder what the American people who demand small government while constantly shrieking about "1984" will say about this? 25 years into this century and we've had basically no major tech legislation in decades. If Democrats were useful at all they'd rail against AI mass surveillance and Elon brain chips 3 3

But when Trump sells **** that benefits him directly while he is the sitting president, they don't say anything. We really are cooked as a country. Trump is above the law. I wonder if the Supreme Court will actually deny any of his executive orders. If they let him override the constitution and remove birthright citizenship, we truly are in a dictatorship. The optics are going to be even worse when he replaces Alito and Thomas, a literal 5 seat majority of Trump appointed justices 1 3

But when Trump sells **** that benefits him directly while he is the sitting president, they don't say anything. The counterpoint here is that most brain rot liberals screech endlessly about Trump and did not care one bit about Hunter Biden's influence-peddling nor Nancy Pelosi's insider trading. If there was any ideological consistency then maybe there would be a point to be had here. But when the response is "BUT TRUMP!" as a deflection for objectively bad behavior, then you're just going to get unpunished corruption from both sides. In a just world, Pelosi would be in jail for life. Instead she is exerting influence even outside of leadership and making sure that the Democrats remain a gerontocracy. 3

19SLAYty9 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 These 2028 Republican hopefuls are so stupid. Why did they all join his cabinet? Realistically, all of them will be fired within the next 4 years and their careers done.
