CuddleCryptid posted:Charge the Center for security imo That's what Minneapolis did. AEG, which runs Target Center tried to bill the campaign for it. The campaign said there was nothing in the contract that let them do that and AEG backed down. AEG won't just pay the city for it because they claim that'd be an in-kind campaign contribution.

Shaming people, women especially, for spending their own money on their appearance as long as it's not a dril candles situation is so dumb. Cutting hair is a skill and some people like complex hairdos or have more than a buzz cut going on. Plus for many haircuts are a form of socializing and self care. Shame on you for feeling good about your appearance and enjoying yourself. that experience isn't allowed if you spend more than 20 bucks.

I go to a Turkish barber round the corner from my work because I get a good haircut and hot shave for £20. By hot shave I mean he trims my beard then shapes it with a straight razor. Was super unnerving the first time. Also trimminf the hair around my ear with a flaming stick was cool

Cutting hair is a skill and some people like complex hairdos or have more than a buzz cut going on. Its kind of extra stupid in this case because of course someone who's job involves a lot of public appearances is going to dish out extra on hair cuts. And of course, the presumption here is that being a socialist means that you're taking some sort of poverty vow until every persons' needs are met and if you don't you're a hypocrite. Thats a fundamentally stupid take on socialism, because its not about ones' personal earnings and more about how control of business is structured. It seeks to elevate all people, except for billionaires because gently caress 'em.

Yeah a bunch of twitchy gun nuts who've already said they think we're in a civil war, providing security for a maniac who's currently being attacked from all sides in what I imagine is a fairly hostile district. I can definitely see a protester, or even someone they just suspect to be a protester getting lit up

People who are like that as fully functioning adults usually already have something wrong with their brain that results in reduced cognitive function and neuroplasticity, so when the dementia sets in it's absolutely devastating. Schizophrenics that get dementia usually decline super rapidly. That's how you get someone like Trump. Something was already wrong with him and the dementia amplifies it 100-fold. He may not be mentally capable of running in 2020 so we may end up with a Weekend at Donnie's: White House edition wherein Mitch McConnell has to figuratively (and maybe literally) stick his arm up Trump's rear end to puppet him around.

Mahoning posted:A woman whose salary is $174k! It cannot be said enough that conservatives believe that anyone who advocates for anything approaching socialist policy is actually advocating for everyone to be poverty stricken all the time. It's not just a cynical messaging strategy (although it is that too), it's something so core to their beliefs that it just comes out all over the place. They think that by pointing out that someone like AOC spends money sometimes they're owning all those radical leftists. They think this in part because they don't even fully understand the conversation that they're involved in.

It's not just a cynical messaging strategy (although it is that too), it's something so core to their beliefs that it just comes out all over the place. I think you are giving them too much credit. The Republican party understands full well what socialism is. Their supporters don't. The thing is, their supporters, at this point, don't even understand what conservatism is. The support base has been sold on ideas like "Brown people bad!" and "Jesus wants you to vote for Republicans!". But what it really boils down it for the Republicans at the top, isn't race, or religion, or creed. It's all about the rich getting richer, regardless of race or belief, and everyone else becoming the slave class. Except for idiots like Steve King (who rapidly get shanked) the Republicans measure human worth by how much money they have. Just look at Betsy Devos. She tries to sell private education on a religious basis, but what it really boils down to is privatizing education and redirecting all that sweet, sweet government money to the rich. Privatize profit and socialize risk on the backs of everyone else. If America was majority Muslim she would be pushing privatized Sharia and Qu'Ran based education.

If you don't realize the enemy you are fighting, you can't beat them. The Republican party is far more evil than you think. You think you are ascribing some sort of belief system or twisted set of ethics to them. That indicates that discourse and change is possible. The people at the top of the Republican party have no system of ethics or morality that you can change. It's all about money, who has it, and who doesn't. Socialism terrifies Republicans not because they don't understand it, but because it is the antithesis of their world. It is an existential threat to them.
