That second quote is almost self-aware, assuming phazon is a Dem partisan.

Leftism IS a religion. More specifically a cult. It slots into where people used to have the old religion. Original sin, activities for adherents to participate in to redeem themselves and become more than their humdrum life, 'saving' people', signaling of virtue, penance, cult of the oppressed, shunning, good vs evil you name it.

I sometimes think it's an evolution of Yankee Calvinism, when Frankfurt Schoolers showed up in Yankee institutions right when "Puritan" became a dirty word. So Total Depravity became systemic oppression, the Fall of Man the creation of the market economy, the Elect (and the constant salvation anxiety this concept produced) became those who keep up with the latest iteration of wokeness and continually strived to "be better". Hell, they even believe in minimalistic living now much like the old school Puritans. Their elevated standards of "consent" don't quite match the "no sex before marriage" idea of the Puritans, but that can be chalked up to it not being the 17th century anymore.

Romney will never live down that Trump got to be President. Romney will die alone, mostly unloved, and forgotten by history.

A fitting fate.

 

[The Last Stand]

Will we see a bunch of old people fighting each other in the Capitol as the Legislative branch succumbs to the same type of factionalism our Founding Fathers warned us about?

I'd pay money to see that. Technically, I am.

 

[Random Internet Person]

The fact that we're seeing Dems target sections that can only be fulfilled by majority vote is proof that they've only got one strategy left, which is to just ram through the entire fucking process and hope that everything yields.

That's just Democrats 101. Why do you think they've had Biden sign so many EOS?

Will we see Trump become the unwitting pioneer for a new age of political speedrunning as he continues to fall backwards into a series of what are now essentially state-sanctioned lolsuits?

So is our legal system about to become Yandere Simulator?

@NeilBreenLover69 Is having trouble understanding the results from today's trial. Can anyone explain to them what Trump being acquitted means?

Man I'm glad Romney didn't manage to win his election. What a spineless, useless blob of craven self serving shit he is.

This isn't the senate, tax evasion and business crimes are pretty cut and dry. Having someone pull out the "Guilty but shouldn't be punished" card at a judge won't fly.

You have literally no idea what you are talking about. The jury is not obligated in any court or in any land to give a good faith decision. Perverse decisions happen all the time and perverse acquittals are only appealable if there is a matter of law in doubt and then it only goes to a re-trial.

Libs don't know civics and libs don't know law either.

But here's the thing, that's actually true of all ideologies.
That's the real problem in modern society right now. We've replaced religion with a wide variety of "-isms" that will supposedly lead us to utopia, which they won't but how dare you argue otherwise. Yeah yeah, Marx and the French Revolution are to blame for all this mess, but that's no reason to keep perpetuating it for the sake of "well if we don't support x, y wins".
And no, this isn't advocating radical centrism. Note the -ism on the end of that. You much achieve ideological zen where you have purged all of the -isms from your system, or at least recognize them for what they are.

The only thing that actually should matter in politics or government is whether or not something works. Today.

Isn't that the point of that one South Park episode where Cartman gets frozen and gets unfrozen in the future. Where there's only atheism and they argue over some banal shit.

So you're literally banking on someone not wanting him to go to jail because they're in his little cult? Very GOP of you, "lol we know it's broken, we won't fix it".

Basically nothing trial produces nothing. They didn’t have 67 votes and COMPLETELY cucked out on witnesses when Cruz made it clear he’d force Pelosi to testify (no idea what, probably antifa) and turn the Trump circus into a free for all. So Trump was acquitted.

On to 14th Amendment, which was originally for Confederates, enslaved blacks, and Indians - but now it applies to abortion and drumpf I guess.

Thank you, this has been very helpful for me and my friend @NeilBreenLover69

Using the 14th Amendment route (and I hesitate to call it that since at this point you're not following any rule and are just throwing things at the wall) would basically be a soft coup where Congress folds the power of the judicial branch into itself. I'm almost curious for them to take the bluecheckmarks genius idea and try to run with it.

 

[HOMO FOR LIFE]

Does this mean Trump is president now?

It really sets the worst kind of precedent. It could be applied to Cruz, for example.

Unironic "the Dems played 4D Chess"-type cope has hit the towers.

Wish I could give this the lunacy rating it deserves.

Well this ended roughly the way that I thought that it would.

BLM isn't going to hang back. And when Biden doesn't actually DEFUND they will wind back up.

I keep tabs on groups like this in my area so I know where not to be when shit goes down. They've been ratcheting up lately and are sure to take is failed impeachment as a sign the system is "broke." Now that Trump is finally starting to leave these people's heads after five years of rent free (however slowly he does it) they're already infighting.
Current flashpoints are Biden's commitment to an economic war with the middle east (obviously, he's always been a hawk), the fact that despite all the hubbub about Biden being pro-illegals he's still deporting people and 'separating families' (in the same way Obama did, which only Trump was smeared with), the Teacher's Union rioting over the fact that he's reopening schools even though they thought he was "their guy" (obviously not, he can't be 'the duncecap president' with millions of miseducated kids, though frankly this whole thing should be an impetus to nix teachers and go to online schooling anyway), and the fact that he's sponsoring the new "domestic terrorist" bills that are in reality an axe hanging over fascist, far-left radicals' heads as much as it is for normal lolbergs and moderates.
