Gen X college students were protesting for Palestine back in 2000 during the Second Intifada. They're now in their 40s-50s, and if they're still leftists then you can bet they're still screeching about solidarity.

The leftist revolutionary LARP has not changed in 25 years. You aren't seeing this generation's random odd flavor of the month; you're seeing a generational return to an old alliance that never got dismantled. It's just another prong in the many attacks radical leftists are accustomed to using against the (other side's) establishment. But they don't have perfect control over it, and it's a double-edged sword when their own side is in power.

The real October surprise happened last October. The left wasn't prepared for one of their weapons to activate and lash out at whoever is in power while they were in power themselves.

The problem with leftist revolutionary LARPers is that they are immediately destroyed by someone pointing out that they are in college. They don't have jobs, they don't have life experience, and they don't even interact with the general population.

Something I thought was interesting from the debate is when Walz was asked if Trump was correct in saying that he supports abortions after 9 months and Walz never denies it. Walz simply states that he supports whatever women want to do for 2 minutes, and in essence saying if a woman wanted to get a 9 month old aborted that he would support that. I don't know about anyone else but that sounds pretty radical to me

That on top of how awkward it was when Tim had to comment on his stolen valor and talking about yucking it up with school shooters, Tim Walz got fucking eviscerated.


You are such an unbearable faggot holy shit

All good, buddy.

While it is far from the biggest spender (the US Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Realtors, and Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America are consistently the top 3), AIPAC is definitely the most notorious. I've looked into AIPAC and, despite all the conspiracy theories, it is pretty open and transparent as far as lobbying groups go. Their biggest scandal was arguably David Steiner bragging on tape about all the influence he had, which was released by another Jew who thought Steiner was a fucking prick.

Frankly, any rational person should despise those other three you listed far more than the fucking Heeb lobby. And contrary to what dumb wignat untermensch like to say, it's actually those first two (CoC and NAR) plus the agricultural lobby that are primarily responsible for the influx of barbarian third worlders into the country rather than the AIPAC.

I try to make this case to some people, but I always get called a glowie, a kike, or some form of nigger. It is actually quite interesting how the biggest lobbying groups go completely ignored (they are mostly healthcare and big pharmaceutical lobbies) but the Internet obsesses over da j0000z.

That's why the low effort "support" mechanisms of the Information Age keep it going.

The 45 year old HR lady remembers screaming about genocide in the Student Union when she was young and feisty. So when she gets an excuse to relive her partying days, she puts a Palestinian flag in her Twitter bio, Paypals $50 to some refugee NGO, then sternly lectures her friend circle that she can't support candidates who bomb babies. Maybe she even joins a (much more orderly) protest downtown or passes out pamphlets on a sidewalk outside an anarchist bookstore. She gets the emotional high of fiGhTiNg tHe sYsTEm all over again, just like the college kids today are chasing.

College kids are dumb, but graduating and getting jobs doesn't always make them smarter. Or at least, it doesn't make them act smarter, and when it comes to emotional politics, it sometimes makes them even dumber.

Trump's been on the ballot three election cycles. More than any presidential candidate (any real ones. Not counting third party candidate) since maybe 1950s.

Candidates who ran for 3+ cycles and won at least one state in every attempt:
-Thomas Jefferson
-Andrew Jackson
-Henry Clay (the first of two to never be President in spite of 3 attempts)
-Grover Cleveland
-Theodore Roosevelt
-William J. Bryan (the second of two to never be President in spite of 3 attempts)
-FDR (only one to win more than 2 terms)
-Richard Nixon (He's the only one of these to be post-1950s)

Because as I said, wignats are, objectively speaking, untermensch. And are frankly deserving of precisely one of the two fates that the regime they insist dindu nuffin' had planned for untermensch - slavery, or extermination.

And I'm morally opposed to slavery.

I got into a discussion with someone about Trump and tariffs today and I need some economist spergs to play devil's advocate: what downsides are there to placing tariffs on imports?
