Trump Derangement Syndrome - Orange man bad. Read the OP! (ᴛʜɪs ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ ɪs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴋɪᴡɪ ғᴀʀᴍs ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡs ɴᴏᴡ) 🗿🗿🗿🗿

I just find it funny that Romney is going on about “decency” in Congress. There was never decency to begin with.

Exhibit A:

Pelosi tearing up Trump’s State of the Union speech

When it’s all said and done, Trump isn’t as vitriolic as Congress has historically been, and rightfully calling Pelosi “crazy” is nothing compared to actually beating people up or having a duel. Romney should stop lecturing about this mythical “decency” that Congress has supposedly had, because it was never there to begin with.
There is something to be said about the crazier shit happening during times of increased tension (i.e. shortly after the revolution, prelude to the Civil War, whatever bullshit is cooking at present) though.
 
I could post that meme again but I feel like it's been posted to death.

...ah, screw it, one more time:

In all seriousness, when one party holds your religious beliefs in utter disdain, and the other is currently led by a guy who's not actively trying to shut down your business and ruin your life because of what you choose to believe in...yeah, it's really not a hard choice. These assholes have never truly read the Bible, else they'd know that there's a recurring pattern throughout: God works through imperfect and unlikely people. In the instances where he chose the obvious good person (like Saul in the Old Testament, and even David after him), they usually ended up failing pretty hard. It's often the imperfect ones who end up doing the most good. Trump isn't perfect, but no Christian who's voting for him actually thinks he is. It's something lefties like this won't ever understand.

Good on _mrsbang there for calling this faggot with daddy issues out.
It just seems weird how the left just loves to be smug pricks condemning religion, then at the same time trying to weaponize religion. "I have nothing but contempt for your backward religious beliefs" then "WOW LOOKS AT THIS NON-BINARY PRO-LGBT PREACHER!". I'm a bit fuzzy on if they want it all gone (assuming all Christians will just disappear into thin air), or co-opted (assuming all Christians will become new woketerian converts).
Any case I'm sure it all stems from the post-Bush, Obama round 1 era where the CONSTANT shitting on Christianity was in vogue. I guess deep down they still fear the soccer mom saying Harry Potter is witchcraft and politicians screeching about how videogames are too violent (which is amusing because I remember the democrats being the ones at the forefront of that last one).

They fear objective moral values and duties returning to society, and they hate God. Because God is the ultimate Father, and Leftists have major daddy issues.

The answer is "Whichever works."

The mistake people make when looking at how collectivist systems have previously (and are currently) attempted to wipe out religion is that it's not some sort of grand intellectual movement of trying to move beyond silly superstition and into rationality. It is and always has been, 100%, about eliminating the competition. However, if you can subvert and control the religious institutions, they are no longer the competition. It's why the euphoric fedora atheists that normally see every religious person as a right winger and vice versa also piss themselves with joy every time some jackass black Democrat preacher reeees "God DAMN America!" Because they know that particular religious institution is no longer competition, but an ally in subverting the congregation to the state, so they don't have a problem with it.

It's also why I've repeatedly said the Religious Right was actually a left-wing movement, as are its shattered, scattered remnants that dream of a new Crusade and a theocratic rule where "Error has no rights." Because they want a massive, controlling government that has absolute last say on what freedoms people are allowed to have, and demand a collective identity, and the fact that it has a base in open religion instead of a more worldly old white man with a beard does not change what side of the political compass that comes from.

Like everything else in Liberal Land, religion's acceptability depends on how useful it is to them acquiring and holding onto power. If it stands in the way, they loathe it; if they can use it to swing votes or shame people, they support it, or at least pretend to kowtow to it.

Sometimes they'll do both in the same breath; ACB living with Charismatic Catholic lay ministers in college is oppressive and reactionary superstition, but Linda Sarsour and Muhammad abu-Nutsack may call for Sharia Law because it's their noble faith and culturally enriching.
 
Don't know why the canings stopped but the time is long overdue to bring them back. Love the guys laughing their asses off in the background.
The context is even spicier. Sumner had given an absolutely blistering speech on the Senate floor regarding violence and disorder in Kansas (look up 'Bleeding Kansas' if you're curious). Sumner... did not exactly moderate himself, and offered a grievous insult to Andrew Butler, an elderly South Carolina senator. Sumner's own words, regarding South Carolina, were that the state had sent to the Senate, "a Don Quixote who had chosen a mistress who, though polluted in the sight of the world, is chaste in his sight -- I mean the harlot, Slavery."

Needless to say, this didn't go over well, especially with the question of sexual interaction between white Southerners and slaves. And that's where Preston Brooks, Butler's nephew, comes in. He didn't bother to challenge Sumner to a duel; he just found Sumner alone in the Senate chamber and beat the shit out of him with his cane, nearly killing him.

Sumner probably needed a sound ass kicking, but it didn't exactly cover the South, or Brooks, in glory, all things considered.
 
Controversial Opinion: The Confederate States of America winning the Civil War would have been a good thing for the Native Americans. They would have been a useful tool for the Confederates to build up a buffer-state in Oklahoma as a bulwark against the North in the Midwest, and the Native Americans would have had a benefactor interested in propping them up.
You're probably not far off. But the knock-on effect of a non-unified and warring North American continent would probably end with those faggots from Europe regaining a foothold and subjugating both our nations and the natives all over again. :cryblood:
 
You're probably not far off. But the knock-on effect of a non-unified and warring North American continent would probably end with an energized American right-wing empire, incandescent with white hot rage over all of the SJW bullying, killing all of the leftists and moderates off and then going full Nazi on the rest of the hemisphere while Europe pisses itself.

FTFY
 
I wanted to share this video of trump.

Him being the bellhop for a day.

Regardless of who those guests voted for, how many of them do you think have TDS today? Sad all around that Trump for decades had people excited to meet him and even worshiped the ground he walked on only for those same admirers to turn-heel and screech he's a bigot.

Anyway:
