Absolutely! But I'd like to hear him move the goalposts through some kind of hypercyclic n-dimensional submanifold brane in order to justify his continued support.

seriously, it can only be he's getting off on "the right people" being punished.

he has 6 or 7 figures of medical debt from a motorcycle accident he had a year ago, works part time because he physically cant work fulltime yet, makes roughly half of what he should be paid per hour by some small business tyrants who said they cant afford to give him a raise and then go on 6 vacations a year, and lives at home with his parents, which is a good thing, honestly, because he helps take care of his dad who has a massive brain injury, but trump has in no way improved his life one iota. He is a giant gun guy who has a dumbass molon labe tattoo down his forearm and trump has done more to restrict gun rights 2 years than obama did in 8. he has no stocks, obviously, so it can only be racism, right?

I've made a couple people mad by predicting with 100% accuracy how much less their tax return was this year by taking how much more they got per paycheck after the tax cuts and multiplying by 26, then explaining that once again you just got an advance whereas the rich got dump trucks full of cash

I'll concur. I have threatened to kick his rear end and then throw him out of my house had he said another racial epithet in it. He dropped a casual n-bomb about how his new car speakers didnt have good bass and therefore wouldn't bump my "n-word music" when I took it to the store. I have no idea what was going through his mind that I'd have nothing to say about that poo poo. He lived with my wife and I for a bit and I got him a job a few years back working for my good friend who is black. I can only assume he thought I thought naked racism is acceptable now that trump is president?

Maybe try introducing him to Bernie? Bernie genuinely cares about average schmucks and I've seen him pull people away from Trump.

he's kind of invested in trumpism at this point, but I wouldn't say it is impossible. I had my wife send him a copy of "new jim crow" last night since he is adamant systemic racism doesn't exist. he doesn't know it is coming, but there was a note included that I would give him $100 if he read the book and could make a fact based arguement (idiot loves shapiro) that systemic racism still doesn't exist. If he can open his eyes to agree he was wrong about one thing, maybe it'll snowball into realizing he's been conned and I could maybe get him on to bernie. God knows he has more medical debt than he can pay for in his lifetime and a bunch of student debt from the couple of stabs he took at college. if he's gone full fash, I'll just exercise him from my life

Mainly that the same is happening to the Chinese economy. It’s a game of chicken except they get to risk other people instead of themselves so they’re more likely to just shrug and say yeah, just crash, I don’t wanna look weak.

Xi's a more savvy operator than Trump is but he's got a lot of pressure coming from a lot of quarters and doesn't need economic troubles.

i've always known that republicans were racist, but it wasn't until the 2012 election i realized just HOW racist they truly are. Rick Perry may seem like a joke nowadays, but during the primaries in 2011, the guy was a Republican god. He was governor of a red state whose economy was booming and supposed proof of Republican policies bringing forth prosperity, while also being very religious christian conservative. People who were disappointed with the field (especially with Romney) were ecstatic when Perry entered the race.

But all of the good will and star power he built up was completely obliterated when he said he he had no problem letting illegal immigrants go to public universities. The reaction from rightwing media and the base was quick and intense. His support absolutely cratered and he found himself at or near the bottom of the heap throughout the entire primary.


It was at that point that it really sinked in how vested in racial animus republicans truly were. Which is why i kind of feel like some of the mocking we do in threads like this is somewhat pointless. i mean, sure it's objectively hilarious to see republicans going bankrupt, losing their homes or dying. But all that seems to be besides the point. because the true destiny of republicans isn't so much to make their own lives better, but make their enemies lives worse. if they have to live on the streets eating from dumpsters, then so be it, as long as the muslins and blahs are right along side them
