@paulmorphy6638 trouble with that though is that likely if voter suppression was eliminated we would find that Florida, Georgia, Texas and possibly South Carolina actually have more people who want to vote Democrat than people who want to vote Republican.

@TightwadTodd gun laws and restrictions work perfectly well to keep gun crime low in other wealthy countries. Are you claiming that Americans are an inferior species and thus naturally much more violent than people in other countries? I would think that a lot of Americans would object to that assessment.

@michaelleblanc5396 do you always struggle so hard to understand the obvious?

@johnhill7585 you mean the constitution that says that the people of a state as a whole have the right to have a well trained and organized state militia to protect the state and its people? Don't worry. Nobody is trying to get rid of that right as specified in the second amendment. As for the past let's go back 150 years to the old west where most towns had laws requiring that anybody who came into town in possession of a gun had to immediately hand over the gun to an authority figure such as the sheriff or to the owner of the town hotel.

 @_._._._X True. Get rid of the electoral college, voter suppression and gerrymandering so that elections are more democratic and Republicans will be in serious trouble.

@tiffanypedigo8493 You're ranting again. To avoid publicly humiliating yourself again best you stay offline and please make sure that you've got that tin hat on properly. And speaking of cats did you know that your neighbor's cat is actually a CIA spy who has been monitoring your every move so be careful what you do when that cat is around.

 @tiffanypedigo8493 These are the same neighbors who said that Elvis is and Jimmy Hoffa are alive and living in their attic?

@frednugent2310 How much of that wall has Mexico paid for as Trump said it would? Seems that Trump was too busy cutting taxes for the rich and increasing the federal deficit every year to worry about that.

 @mrbreeze40 Actually a lot more than 3 wars went on when Trump was president.

@steveturner5519 actually a better way to look at it is that the most significant characteristic leading to someone committing a gun crime is living in the United States where lax gun laws ensure that it is easy for anybody to get a gun. People in Japan, Germany, France, Britain, etc are very unlikely to commit a gun crime because it's very hard for them to get a gun given the gun regulations in those countries and so it's very unlikely that they have a gun. Strange how so many Americans struggle to understand something so simple and obvious.

 @jerryw6699 You're amusing in a really disturbing, macabre way.

Kelly: Mr Feinberg, are we on the planet Earth or on the planet Mars? Fienberg: Well, that's a very complicated issue best discussed behind closed doors.

@mamiluisamia I notice how many Republican voters are so terrified of serious dangers such as covid and climate change that they try to pretend those things don't exist because they find them too scary to think about. That's ok. Just avoid looking at any content regarding adult topics and pull the covers over you and stick to the kitten videos while adults and children much braver than you discuss those topics that scare you so much.

@thegoldenarm6422 so you don't mind if your neighbor has a cannon aimed at your house and machine guns, grenades and bazookas ready to use against you and your house to defend himself if you should do anything aggressive such as straying onto his property to catch your dog that slipped out of its leash or to retrieve an important document that blew out of your hands and onto your neighbor's lawn? Thing is I'm not American so I don't understand American gun nuts who value guns more than human lives so I'm just trying to understand if you really mean the words you said that are really ridiculous and horrific if taken to their logical conclusion. So do you really believe the nutty idea that all Americans including your neighbors should be allowed to have any weapons imaginable and to use those weapons any time they feel threatened by anybody for any reason or do you realize how insane such a belief would be?

@thegoldenarm6422 there's always one slow student still struggling to understand the basics while everyone else has moved far beyond them. Don't expect people to keep wasting their time explaining the basics to you over and over again.

@thegoldenarm6422 individual rights are rights to things such as food, shelter, education, health care and the right to vote, things which are sadly lacking in the United States. Carrying a gun into a university classroom or a PTA meaning or a grocery store or a city council meeting is obviously not a right because humans deserve to have more rights than guns do. And "genocidal dictator"????? Did you even realize you started spouting utter nonsense disconnected from the subject? Lol. Maybe next time you go off on a bizarre rant take a minute to look at your words before posting them to avoid publicly humiliating yourself again. Even better get someone else to look at your writing before posting it. Sadly your earlier posts are already out there so the damage to your reputation has already been done. You're just going to have to life with that now.

 @kakasusaf7637 You're saying that a regime representing colonialism, oppression, racism, apartheid, war crimes and genocide is the "right side of history"? Sounds like what a Zionist would say.

 @larrywakeman4371 So you admit that Trump plans to end democracy and rule as a dictator as long as he lives? I'm impressed that a MAGA sheep actually got something right for a change.

 @jeremyboon Really looking forward to Trump getting elected and the United States becoming a fascist dictatorship are you?

@derickkenyon6882 You seem to have fallen for the old (and typical) trick of the American wealthy to get people to blame others who are poorer than them for their problems instead of thinking about how the wealthy are the source of their problems.

It's astounding how many inaccurate ignorant things you can fir into one comment.

@willikins5095 Don't worry then. The person posting is just making something up. Nobody is pushing kids to be anything.... well other than conservative MAGA "Christian" types who are pushing LGBTQ children to change.

@chuckintexas You mean the same Trump who made a deal with the Taliban giving them everything they wanted and getting nothing in return and who praised Putin's preparations to invade Ukraine instead of showing a bit of strength and courage and standing up against that invasion? You mean the same Trump who meekly started bromances with the dictators in Russia, China and North Korea instead of standing up against them? You mean the same Trump who has serious troubles with personal insecurities and paranoia and is a very weak person and so quickly lashes out at anyone who hurts his very tender feelings even if all they've done is stop being his friend?
1
Trump is an incredibly weak, paranoid, insecure guy who has a habit of starting bromances with dictators instead of standing up against them and who lashes out with juvenile insults at anyone who decides not to be his friend anymore. That's not strength

It's clear that nobody in the MAGA cult cares that their legacies and reputations will be horrific in 50 years and that their descendants will be disgusted with them.

I don't really see how Trump stoking division and emboldening extremists and lying about being cheated in the election to cause extreme anger in his racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, hate filled base and thus creating an atmosphere in which civil war might break out is very peaceful. Then his comments praising Putin's preparations to invade Ukraine weren't peaceful - quite the opposite. Then the reports that he wanted to use American troops in the United States for inappropriate purposes. Again the opposite of peace. And sending an armed mob to attack the Capital. Again not peaceful.

Why can't you Trump supporters ever say anything connected to reality? I know you love ignorance and hate education but that's no excuse for constantly embarrassing yourself online. Every Canadian news network talked about the tariffs China is putting on Canada. And China is not an ally of Canada. And Chinese tariffs are on a much smaller scale and aren't insane as Trump's tariffs are. Trump's tariffs could quickly shut down the North American auto industry and are causing economic chaos and are putting the United States into a recession. That's a crazy thing to do especially when the American economy was booming until Trump took office. China's tariffs aren't doing those things. Educate yourself. Leave the cult. Start thinking for yourself. Stop embarrassing yourself spouting idiotic ignorant Maga nonsense.
