What a fascinating article. If they had any common sense, they’d ask themselves “hmmm, maybe white women don’t care about the things we tell them they have to, and maybe there’s a reason for that.”

This is my favorite part of the article. Notice the subtle "THEY have to align with US, not the other way around".

The article itself is basically "Women have rights now mainly thanks to black women so dem white bitches better shape up". I wish people hated journalists with the same passion sheboons hate white women.

Always assume this is the case. Governments love to seize land on behalf of their corporate "partners". They'll be passing brown envelopes back and forth like a small child at a diddy party.

I know this may sound cringe, but I heard something like this happened in Nevada through that Oki dude.

Ranchers were convinced to give up their land for some tortoise, only for some corporations to pay their way around it.

The modern Democrat party has the same problems as the Libertarian party.

Lolberts have a faction that is just, "let me have my guns and no taxes" and others that want that too but also want the age of consent to be abolished.

Democrats still have a large faction that wants continued or increased gubbament gibs and basic abortion legality...but they're having to fight against an ever-growing number of shitlibs that want full-blown communism and forced tranny surgeries on little boys because they played with mommy's lipstick one time.

Trump, I believe, grew up in Queens in a wealthy neighborhood, but his house sold for like $2.9 million in 2018 so it might be like $7 million now.

For all the shit Trump got about the “small loan of a million dollars” comment, it was 100% true. His dad was well off sure, and by all fair definitions rich, but they weren’t that rich.
Trump is, by almost any definition of the term, a self made man. Dude turned a decent sized real estate business from queens into a global real estate empire and an entire brand worth billions. That’s not something any kid born with a silver spoon can do, that requires actual business acumen, and exceptional skill and intelligence. Trump has his faults, but I’ve never gotten the “he didn’t build that” or “he’s just an idiot who inherited things from his father” criticisms.

I know it’s becoming cliche to say this, but stuff like this shows how leftism has become a religion. Tenants such as “thou shalt support abortion” are treated as divine revelation, immune to criticism, nuance, or modification. Empirical evidence that the principles of the leftism are unappealing or disliked are disregarded.

As a person of faith myself, it’s fascinating, because it’s similar to my approach to things like miracles. Except that I at least acknowledge, as many faithful do, that our faith is just that: faith, and it will at times conflict with what we normally understand about the world through rationalism and empiricism. Leftists don’t even have that going for them, they’re blind believers not even aware they’re believers.

People talk about the enthusiasm gap between Trump and all of his opponents, but I think people misunderstand the left has plenty of enthusiasm. They staunchly believe in the religion of progressivism and are every bit as motivated as Trump supporters. It just doesn't translate into support for political candidates that goes beyond holding their nose and voting for whoever can stop the Hitler of the week.

Get out there and VOOT for the fry cook if only because it will make one Patrick S. Tomlinson cope and seethe at nuclear levels. That should be incentive enough. Plus you'll get some fresh air while waiting in line.

I voted Orange Man after not voting in 2016 and 2024 specifically because I want to say I was a Trump voter to spite the people who claim it's like voting for Hitler or being a KKK member. I know it won't make a difference since I live in a red state and Republicans are heavily favored to win every election on my ballot. I just want to be able to proudly say I am one of the "bad guys" on the "wrong side of history."

Yeah, that's a cult you're describing. I know some might say religions are just cults that have become legitimate, but leftism is a cult, not a religion

Religions build and sustain civilization. Cults destroy themselves and their members. So yeah. Like you were saying, it's a cult.

"Self-made man" is a bit of a stretch to me considering his background but he definitely expanded and built onto what he was handed quite nicely. At the very least, his life certainly isn't a case of a trust fund baby who inherited everything and then burnt it all down by doing ridiculous things with the wealth he received.

Adding on to that, in terms of the image of him as a personality in the wider public conscious that was all him. That wasn't something that was made for Trump, he had to go out of his way to create it. He could've very easily lived a relatively obscure but rich life in silence if he wanted to but he chose to take his life in another direction entirely.
