"I'm a half-Asian that grew up in a solid red area and I never thought about race until high school so idk what the director of Elemental is talking about" Silence
"Max Landis seems like a jerk but the accusations against him don't meet the definition of rape" This resulted in a girl getting extremely pissed off so I had to make peace for 15 minutes
"Hunter Biden is obviously laundering money through the painting hobby he started last week" Tepid agreement
"Male and female characters obviously behave differently and you can't just swap them into each other's stories" "Hahaaa I don't know, I just like this character doing her thing"
"Obviously cancel culture exist, we wouldn't be able to have any frank conversations if they were publicized to millions of people" "Yeah fair point" Silence
"If that female pastor is ordained, that's illegal according to church rules" Crossed arms staring at the ceiling
Before a few years ago, I've never had the problem of being too obviously right in political discussions. That's because I used to cling to dumb ideas myself, like the Iraq invasion, but at least I had a little wriggle room (democracy is a good thing for the Middle East! just give it time!). There are too many positions on the left today that are indefensible if you're not a psychopath. I guess I'm thankful my lib friends are still genuine friends and retain a shred of integrity.
My left leaning Asian American friends dislike Biden and they said they will not ever vote for him again UNLESS Trump is the GOP nominee again in 2024.
We just need enough normies to not vote for Biden. Normies staying home is all we need to win 2024.
Normies will disturbingly come out in droves for Biden if Trump is the nominee again.
My friends don't like DeSantis much and they won't ever vote for him but in a Biden vs DeSantis race, they have said they will not go vote.
These people certainly dislike Biden but they absolutely hate Trump on a visceral level.
Trump's manner of speaking and his optics are frankly disgusting to educated voters.
This is sadly the state of the normies.
We can hate the normies all we want but winning is what we should prioritize.
We must adapt or we will lose.
We can beat Biden with DeSantis or with Youngkin or with even Tim Scott. We won't be beating him with Trump in 2024.
The choice is clear. Do we want to beat Biden with a different candidate or do we want to lose and then blame it on voter fraud because we nominated Dem lightning rod Donald Trump?
The media will create the same hate of desantis that they did of trump.
Whoever the R candidate is, is the next hitler, while the previous one is revived and honoured.
Look at how even desantis is, Trump at least hugged the gay flag and is friends with Jenner, desantis is an absolute nazi! Oh sure trump wanted a wall but look at all these kids desantis is locking up....
The sad state of the normies is that they listen to the urinalists.
The media will certainly try this with every GOP nominee but the normies have such an innate and abnormal level of hatred for Trump that it is just not possible to make them hate another Republican more than Trump.
I agree that any future GOP nominee will be constantly smeared by the MSM but the level of seething hatred that Trump automatically inspires in normies cannot be matched by someone else.
I know people who I am certain will hate Trump thirty years from now even after he has been dead for years. I have never seen anything like this hatred in three decades.
Bush and thatcher. Thatcher is older yes, but the hatred is still palpable, even in new generations of lefties. The bush hate was up there tho.
You say this shit like any of the trump hate isn't based on a coordinated media campaign, AND like BIDEN actually won through votes, rather than fraud.
Are you confused? Have you been living under a rock?
Biden did not win. Any republican candidate allowed to win by the uniparty is almost certainly a cretin on the level of mccain at best - there to do nothing but allow acclimitization to the current frog boiling temperature, and kick off another decades war to use for profit and propaganda.
Bingo. Trump isn't the Bad Orange Man, they made him into that via total control of his image in the media. They will use this same engine against any candidate who isn't a member of the uniparty club. If they don't do it to someone then you know the fix is in.
If you haven't figured it out yet, people lie. Especially about politics. And especially leftists.
I'd think an Asian would know about saving face. They're not going to openly tell you that you were right about Trump, or that they're going to vote for him this time. They're going to tell you exactly what you said, never Trump.
This is why the voting booth is secret, so people don't have to face consequences of other people knowing their vote.
There's a lot of people who say they despise Trump's manner and often they are the ones most enamored and persuaded by it - being anti is a defense against what they secretly desire. Like how in the 90s the Republican congressmen that were most rabidly anti-gay were themselves gay.
People just don't get that worked up without a reason, and just being crude and inarticulate is rarely enough to explain it.
I disagree with your general apathy on elections and with your statement trying to connect DeSantis to the WEF. He has never attended any WEF event and he has consistently pushed policy that undermines their Davos agenda.
I think winning 2024 definitely matters and it is clear how we can make that happen. Just nominate someone other than Trump and make the election a referendum on Biden. Trump is the only guy who automatically makes any election he is involved in a referendum on himself.
I will join you in apathy if Trump is nominated again.
I don't want to see him lose in 2024 and have his most ardent supporters redo J6 and ruin their lives for no reason.
I connect DeSantis to Israel...
You can't do anything with Educated voters at this point. They don't believe in reality. Worse, many are well within the establishment knowledge machine.
Winning them over is like winning over single women: It's not going to happen, and none of them are going to even consider voting Trump, DeSantis, Bush, Romeny, or Pence. Not happening. You have to basically Demographically Replace them. Marry off the single women, and stop sending kids to colleges. These are the groups of people who think Covid Camps were moral.
