What’s needed to stop an American dictatorship?

prolly trolls...


:sarcasm:

 

Yeah well---my daddy can beat up your daddy!

 

I hope they get a good price on the recyclable metal.

Gotta love community beautification projects!

 

Um, wow, and they say, well, never mind, let's not go there.
Okay, so let's clarify. I'm suggesting people be able to state their name, birthdate, address, phone number, where they are now, and who the current president is - these are standard questions for cognition by the way, not something I made up myself. You're calling that racist. The only reason for you calling that racist is because you're thinking racist! Like that one race is less likely to be aware of those things than some other? Yeah, your own stupid game caught up with you. But do you realize it?
I'd ask you to think too, please, but I don't want to be responsible for you hurting yourself.

 

And what would those be, Specifically...

 

Foremost, and most obviously, we need to vote the rascals out--not only Trump but the Senate majority. This means turning out for the election. Since it's obvious Trump is about to try voter suppression and cry voter fraud, the turnout needs to be enough that there will be no questions. Walk through glass in your bare feet if necessary!

 

Progressive change:
The destruction of the two parent nuclear family
The removal of prayer from civil activities
The cessation of pledging allegiance to one's country, and the symbolism of the flag
Population reduction through encouragement of abortion
Building an incapable populace dependent on the government for survival by gifting them money they don't have to work for (with the unspoken expectation that they'll vote for them in return)
Discouraging any competition to their public schools which operate as government indoctrination camps
Should you dare try to work for a living, take the majority of the fruits of your labor to hand out to the partiers for free
Stopping people from using energy to produce things, and move people and goods
Suggesting 'a world without borders' while at the same time suggesting free food and housing for all (which they've already accomplished) and free medical care, free university and professional education, free transportation, free... everything for everybody, yayy!!!

And people are so effing selfish that they are totally uninterested in the true cost of all this, they just want their free stuff they don't have to work for, the consequences and everybody else be damned.

A lot of contradictory goals and methods. But, the progressives are short-term people. They want immediate gratification. Conservatives are long-game, delayed gratification.

 

You're starting to catch on. You got a ways to go yet. You mean well, so my book recommendation for you is "Loserthink". Thank me later.

 

The use of "tests for cognition" has an ugly history as a means of suppressing the black vote. A scoundrel like the current President, who cares more about suppressing the vote than the virus, would have an easy time designing a test that minorities couldn't pass and then figuring out a way to exempt himself and his MAGA goons (exemptions for this, that or the other thing). That's the way it was done in the pre-1965 South. African-Americans were routinely given more rigorous tests. In Georgia, African-American college grads routinely flunked the test, e.g., for not not knowing who the current Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture was , while white folks who hadn't finished grade school passed. And yes, it was racist. Remember: It's not so much the test but how it's scored (and who scores it) that counts. Here's one from the State of Louisiana. Can you pass it?



Of course, you could challenge the fairness of the test--in court--after lengthy litigation!

Dumb idea. Should that disqualify you from voting?

 

(post 208) I suppose you really believe all that. Credit where credit is due-----you have hit most of the republican-right wing scare tactics. Thanks for the reminder.

 

No surprise, man. That's why you have white guilt and mistakenly think that being a "progressive" and handing out free stuff, lowering standards, and all will offset that. I don't have to worry about that because I never think of race or somesuch possibility of me being racist, I just deal with people as people and don't factor any of that in. Try it; I expect you'll find it freeing, and the people you deal with will sense the respect (once you get used to it - old habits die hard).

 

That's stupid.

 

I'm sorry. Perhaps hope is gone. I mean like, wow.

 

That's history. Let's keep it that way!

 

beyond impeachment, there isn't much we can do about the current leadership. With a Republican senate, and without a major malfeasance, I don't see it happening.

 

I'm sorry. Who is it who's doing that again?
