US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[AnotherPleb]

Still wayyy too early for any of this landslide talk, but if the numbers hold, especially if PA isn't even really needed, for another month then we'll see. The debate will probably make or break this still.

Why do you think Harris is so desperate to bail out of it?

Mid south in general it seems. Can't say much more to avoid powerleveling but it's weird.

Califaggots move to the South because it's safer and cheaper then try voting for the same shit that made their old hellhole dangerous and expensive. Fuck them. They made their hell and they need to fix it.

I do believe Alex Jones when he says Trump has 50% chance of surviving this election cycle. They were quick to memory hole the first attempt.

They weren't punished the first time so why not do it again?

He's a clown (complimentary,) who made a fool out of the people in power. The shift from "he won't win, we shouldn't take him seriously," to "HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER" when he won was absolutely fucking incredible.

Every so often I rewatch the Trump 2016 GAS GAS GAS vid and it's glorious.

Do you notice the stark difference between comparing the 2023 and 2004 videos and comparing both of those to the 1984 videos?

Autotune unironically killed popular music.

Prove me wrong.

It's hard to put him in a box, and I say this without a hint of irony, he's is possibly the best politician of the past 50 years

Why do you think Washington hates him? He's putting the standard of a politician actually doing shit for people and actively ruining their grift.

While the blatant social upheaval went away, the broader political zeitgeist of 'fuck the banks, fuck the government' has left a long lasting perception within the normal sphere.

And right after the bailouts of 2008 you had all the elites push racial division in the West on every fucking front.

 

[Maldavius Figtree]

I'm sure a huge chunk of this is you just not seeing just how extreme modern tv (especially streaming) has gotten and also me not really watching porn in years (not a fan)

Huh, I thought about it and have to admit you have a point there, I haven’t really consumed any mass media in quite some years.
I apologize for attacking you and lumping you in with the coomer defense brigade, you bring up some good points.

 

[Michael Wade]

Trump should try to get Zach Hadel to have him on his podcast and have Zach do his Trump impression the entire time. More realistically Shane Gillis could do the same thing.

Id pay money to see Trump interview Zach.

I don't think mister Ryan L. Nave will see this, but my response comes from the heart: Don't care. It's still retarded. Feeling you need to talk like a stupid cunt to communicate with black people is racist by your own standards. Talk normal. Honk honk!

Lol code switching. Wtf is this matrix terminology. That's hilarious

Mayorkas called this hit in, I'm sure of it now.

View attachment 6378985

Entirely possible. If I'm not mistaken he's the only one that has authority to fire the secret service chief too and he wasn't going to until she resigned.

There's a lot of people with money who theoretically have the ability to hire a hitman but the reality is you need to look at the pattern and identify who fits. Young impressionable kid, steals a scary gun, on FBIs radar but ignored, has Internet. Info on him becomes scarce after shooting... Where the hell have I heard that before?


At the very least the glowies did it or someone who knows a glowie did it. Victoria nuland is high on the fucking list because she was implying bad shit was going to happen in a previous video call. Does mayorkas have contracts in the media? CNN ready and setup for a live stream and they literally NEVER did that before hand at any other Trump rally in the past year at least.

This might sound silly, but how did you guys and girls learn about politics, and when did you become conservative?

Oh, thank God. Now I can finally have an opinion.

 

[mlanguishi]

He hired her, and stood by her. And she took the fall for him. In fact, I don't think he's been on that stand since.

As I saw someone say 'that guy has the same face as the people in the gulag saw before they were shot'. He just looks like a damn NKVD or Stasi killer.

 

[Jade Philosophies]

This might sound silly, but how did you guys and girls learn about politics, and when did you become conservative?

I guess I was born this way, lol! I mean I was born in the 70s and left school in the early 90s so I wasn't really raised with political correctness for a start. There was a little bit creeping in towards the end of my school life but not remotely anywhere near as bad as now. The worse thing was probably a new class (at the time) called PSE (personal social education) and I was plenty old enough to tell it was some politically correct propaganda and thought "Why the fuck does this class exist?" One lesson was quite memorable though, as they showed some people in a Middle Eastern country being beheaded. Well, that particular part was memorable, I can't remember anything else about the lesson. We didn't have ANY alphabet mafia shit at school at any age because luckily it was still illegal to teach any of that faggotry back then.

We were also far less infantilised back then especially in secondary school (12 - 16 plus optional 1 or 2 year 6th Form back then, now it's 11 - 18 and I don't know whether there's extra optional 1 or 2 year 6th Form on top of that or whether they just made both years of 6th Form mandatory) at which time all the decent people treated us as the young adults we were and most people had friends of all ages. (Although I was a bit of a loner, but I had a couple of friends.) Although I was a bit annoyed my parents wouldn't let me watch 18-rated films until I was about 14 or 15. Although I actually saw my first 18-rated film (not including things like old Hammer Horrors that used to be X rated when that rating was a thing) when I was at a girl's house-warming party when I was 11 or 12. The horror movie April Fool's Day. They let me watch 15-rated movies since I was 12 though and even before that if they thought it was suitable. For example I watched The Beastmaster when I was 10. (That's a 15 in the UK, not a PG like in the USA.)

My views (and general tastes) have pretty much stayed the same my whole life, just adding to them with what I've been able to learn, especially since getting the internet just over 25 years ago. And maybe changed a couple of things slightly due to what I learned too, as I've never followed any political ideology, just used science, facts and logic to form my opinions on each issue indvidually and don't care whether the results of analyzing an issue are considered left or right wing, although no doubt I would be considered right-wing. I've never given a shit what anybody thought about me so I never fell into groupthink really (other than briefly at middle school I got into collecting football (soccer) stickers that you put in a magazine thing, but after a while I thought "What the hell am I doing? I'm not even into football." and just stopped), although again not having to deal with so much cultural marxist indoctrinating growing up no doubt helped. And not being an NPC of course.

Gamergate. No mainstream forum allowed talk of the collusion issues, not even fucking 4chan. So I was forced to go to 8chan and got redpilled there. I wasn't a democrat or a leftie before, but I kinda leaned more that way than right. I was kind of a libtard.

Also the Joe Rogan podcast. He would have some based guests sometimes. After I had already started taking the red pill, and my interest in learning more kept growing, I would go and research about those guests and listen/read more from them, outside of the podcast.

In only a few months I was already considering myself firmly on the right. Being called all sorts of racist and misogynist and nazi and shit helped a lot to expedite that process, especially when all I was trying to achieve was the bare minimum of ethics in gaming journalism. Also seeing them completely ignore #NotYourShield was fucked up and made me real mad. I remember a prominent girl from NYS who committed suicide. Sad shit. Even today some retards will talk shit about GG without mentioning NYS.

I miss GamerGate sings.

he's is possibly the best politician of the past 50 years

Probably because he's not really a politician. He's just a businessman, albeit a rich and famous one, who basically waltzed in off the street and said "I want to be President to Make America Great Again!" and genuinely meant it and actually won against all the odds despite everything that was done to stop him.

didn't realize that dressing like LMFAO was both a political and technological change.

Did many people dress like LMFAO in 2009? More than do now? If you look at just an average group of people in 2009 it would be hard to tell from an average group of people in 2024. The main difference would be that pretty much everyone would be holding smartphones in 2024 whereas only a few would be in 2009.

Autotune unironically killed popular music.

Prove me wrong.

Not totally wrong, but you could still have good music with autotuned singers, so it's not just that, most of the music is just terrible. I'm pretty sure all Perfume's songs are autotuned, some definitely are even if just for effect, yet they're generally great. Although a lot of that has to do with Yasutaka Nakata who is basically the 4th member as he's been writing & producing their music for about 20 years now.

 

[Star Spangled Bogger]

Did anyone post the Lex Friedman and Trump interview or do I get some clocks?

 

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

I haven’t really consumed any mass media in quite some years.

thanks i accept your apology, may i suggest you watch The Boys? Its supposedly the most watched tv show of all time, and you and any child can watch it as long as you have an amazon prime account. You can watch multiple different men get raped, as many veiny erect penises as your heart desires. a few scenes with extreme close ups of guys cocks, multiple scenes of gore, a couple nice blowjobs and two different incest scenes. I will warn you, multiple redditors have admitted to being traumatized from watching it, but surely if those coomers couldn't handle it i'm sure any child could, because they don't actually show the erection penetrating an asshole multiple times, which is really the only thing that separates this from all that icky porn that should be banned. Clearly this tv show, which is literally the most watched tv show of all time according to amazon, is a much better influence on a child's sexual upbringing than anything one might see in porn.

To further agree with you, back in the days when James Deen was raping every woman in porn, of fucking course you were right about banning it, even the credit card processors were willing to fuck the freedom of speech of porn sites and its a huge reason like a quarter of porn in the 2000s is almost completely gone from normal internet sites, even private trackers won't host it because of how spicy it was. Imagine how bad things have to be when both internet pirates and those finance jews are willing to compromise their freedom of speech beliefs to keep people from watching what you released. But, the rise of Onlyfans and amateur content in general in the last half decade really "sanitized" porn, you can't really do extreme anal orgies type scenes when its just a woman and her boyfriend in North Carolina making all their content, and if you look at any porn site and especially pornhub thats mostly what porn is now. majority amateur content shot on phones. This is a big reason why the boogieman of the "ultra orgy" is sort of silly to most coomers now, You're more likely to see those type of scenes on Shia Laboeuf films than the type of porn a kid might click on or find on a porn site.

And beyond that is the disgusting world of 2d porn, which even states with laws requiring uploading licenses to view porn sites, don't require it for hentai. Which almost guarantees that hentai would be a child's first experience with porn or sex outside of mainstream entertainment. Which is another big reason i argue against these "anti-porn" advocates. Their solutions are hilariously out of date, and in a way more harmful, your average woman addicted to porn like that mass shooting tranny got their sexual experiences from fan fiction sites or deviant art. Which are also two big websites that are also exempt from those laws about porn sites. Anyone with any time reading about lolcows on this very website knows the crazy fetishes 2d and the written word allow some people to have.

If you look at just an average group of people in 2009 it would be hard to tell from an average group of people in 2024

literally just watch a 2009 and 2024 video on smosh or college humor and tell me those people are exactly alike.

Indeed. The Kiwi Court hereby legally recognizes you as a homosexual.

 

[Rykel22]

This might sound silly, but how did you guys and girls learn about politics, and when did you become conservative?

Hmm, that's a hard one to pin down. I think I always more conservative, coming from a modest family. Went to a catholic school mainly because it's where my father went over any real religious zeal(still went to church but really super into things), and was basically the poor kid(definitely had the smallest house and fewest toys of my peers), but never really resented them for it. Sometime around 2007-08(near the end of HS), my folks had Fox news on more often so the Anti-Obama stuff was more what I was exposed. But it was Trump and the run up to 2016 that really made me go from, 'eh vote R because family and it's kind of what I lean towards over the other guys' to 'vote Trump because the system needs a pruning'.

 

[nigel p poppycock]

This might sound silly, but how did you guys and girls learn about politics, and when did you become conservative?

@Egg McMuffin I posted this before but here's the short version: Grew up with a very political, conservative father--politics was discussed every day and twice on Sunday. I agreed with conservatism up until Bush's second term, then became disillusioned with Republicans and became a slightly right of center Independent. Thought Trump was a joke but could not in good conscience vote Democrat (for a variety of reasons). Came back in 2018 when Kavanaugh happened, voted Trump in 2020 and will again. I'm more politically active now that I'm older because I have the time and resources.

One thing I didn't mention before was Ferguson. That was a light bulb moment for me--Obama had the chance to cool tensions and diffuse that situation and instead he inflamed it. That's when I realized division was on the menu, and it has been ever since, although I now see it's not racial it's elites v. non-elites.

 

[Puff]

He was pressing hard on election shit and it was like bruh move on. No one cares.

Yeah the implication that people who would otherwise vote for him won't because he thinks the 2020 election was stolen is pants on head retarded, but that's Lex for you. Also the "congress should do shrooms" push is getting old from the psychonauts

 

[Jade Philosophies]

Yes, professional YouTubers 15 years later are the average person. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be comparing though? Their clothing?

 

[KoopsInk]

Fucking lol. Imagine her addressing a room full of Asians, or pajeets, and she tries to "relate" to them in such a way.

Trump pandering: "We love our asians, we have the best Asians"

Kamala pandering:"Hero everyone, I rike tofu"

The number 1 culprit of sexual assaults against children are other children. I believe this is happening because of smart phones and social media. Kids around 5-6 are getting exposed to hard-core pornography and are acting it out.

We didn't have that shit even nearly as accessible when I was a kid and the kids still did weird sexual shit with each other. We're talking when I was about 4-6 years old.

It's not even sexual at the time, it's just "haha let's put marbles up each other's ass!" Then someone figures out you can use fingers or a penis.

I think I was 11 before I saw my first pornographic material, and I was never sexually abused. Anecdotal of course, but zero correlation in my case. I would hazard a guess that kids just do that shit unprompted, and now people are paying more attention to the horror show that is the iPad generation, so they're drawing conclusions.

 

[Your Girlfriend's Dad]

This might sound silly, but how did you guys and girls learn about politics, and when did you become conservative?

I grew up liberal and switched when Trump ran. The actual moment I switched was at the polls voting between him and Hillary, believe it or not.

I wasn't a consumer of mainstream news media, but I watched in real time as Trump turned from a joke to a dictator in their eyes and all of it was so laughable. These people couldn't keep the record straight for a week at a time.

It wasn't until I saw Trump's first term and actually loved how he performed and how open he was with the public that I was locked in. Once that veneer broke, there was no going back. I learned about the left something I could not unlearn.

I wasn't a Republican, and I'm still not. My position is to maximize as many freedoms as is reasonable and to look to our founding documents without obfuscating their intent. The right gives me the closest approach to that currently.

This might sound silly, but how did you guys and girls learn about politics, and when did you become conservative?

Grew up in a right-leaning household with serious political mags and such around, so I was pretty well disabused of core liberal ideas, like "money is magic," "feelings determine reality," and "unintended consequences don't exist" by the time I was 18.

In my 20s, I realized women are not very much like men and learned about the heritability of intelligence and other psychological traits, so I became "far right."
