And surprisingly the most religious people tend to vote for the elephant…
I saw an interesting video a few days ago that touched on this. It proposes that most liberals think of problems and how to solve them. Teenage pregnancy is up? How do we increase sex education and access to contraception?
Where most conservatives think of problems and how to punish the people that cause them. Mostly stemming from the idea that living a just and moral life - like they do - means you won’t have those problems, so it’s your own fault if you do. Teenage pregnancy is up? Quit being a slut and instead raise this baby that was a result of your own slutty behavior.
I’ve been looking at things through this lense the past few days and see this way of thinking popping up over and over again.
As a former conservative, the “fuck them they deserve it” attitude is very accurate. Sometimes they shun each other over that stuff too. Other times they compartmentalize. Depends on how much they like that person.
watch the entire series, it’s pretty good, and unfortunately still relevant.
of course, gives them an excuse to hate, it’s not them hating you, it’s gawd!
The ones who respond with excitement whenever there is bloodlust and retribution and suffering in the Bible. They enjoy those parts.
The elephant may never forget but they do.
the most religious people
Catholics and Jews predominantly support Democrats. Idk if I’d describe Southern Baptists and Mormons as “more religious” than Unitarians or Muslims or Wiccans. That seems to suggest religious liberals are… What? Just phoning it in because they’re not reactionary in their beliefs?
Dick Cheney, is that you?
can we figure out a way to silence the both-sides’rs and the butwhataboutpalestines? i don’t care how it gets done. just make it so that no one has to see their bullshit any more.
Block them.
butwhataboutpalestines
Perhaps we should call them Uighurs or Ukrainians or Afghan Freedom Fighters in order to get Democrats to start caring again.
just make it so that no one has to see their bullshit any more
🙈 🙉 🙊
lololol don’t care about those either. i mean, slava ukraini but i’m much more concerned about my backyard than i am anybody else’s.
Lets do something and help
*offer only applies to first generation home buyers who have paid rent on time for 3 years and started a small business in a disadvantaged community that employs more than 2 people but less than 7 and is paying at least $50,000 in taxes in their first year, if your social security is divisible by 6 or 7, but not 3 or 5.
…And then there’s .ml, who loudly refuse to see the difference every 4 years.
Sorry to hear you’re struggling man, hope it changes for you
How about the dems help stop bombing children?
Fuck off, drumpf would be doing the same or worse, like letting Putin have a free pass in Ukraine, which is also filled with children.
What Israel is doing is WRONG, it should be stopped, but Donald dump isn’t the answer.
Kindly point out where I said Trump was better?
drumpf would be doing the same
“Vote for our candidate, she’s just like Trump!”
You make it sound like Israel goes: “We will bomb the Palestinians, but ONLY if Democrats PUSH this button! Do it Joseph Biden and Nancy Pelosi!” and they trip over each other to push that button.
No. That is republicans you are thinking of. They enjoy the bloodlust and the prophecy and of coming of the end of days! They want to LUBRICATE that shit! For the last hundred years we’ve been in the very last days, according to them, the antichrist peeking from just around the corner, any moment now…
Really? You need to work on your reading comprehension. Choosing the less evil option doesn’t mean not criticising supporting a genocide.
First past the post is our only real shot at getting a better, third party.
Until then, we stick with the objectively better (but still abysmal on Israel) Democrats.
FPP? Are you sure? Most people think FPP is the problem.
