The Political Thread 2021

'Cuz the core of Qanon belief is about believing that the world is controlled by Satan-worshiping pedophiles who control the Deep State and engage in child trafficking, and Donald Trump boldly entered politics as an outsider to stop them.

No, really.

I dont have a hard time believing that minorities, educated or not, are not going to vote for the Republican party in large numbers. Because there is more at play here, mainly perceived hostility toward minority groups.

Makes sense why my qanon believing cousin was a fan of wikileaks

Wow…Qanon reached you family?

Also, it’s a time honored propaganda tactic to claim that the people you are vilifying are harming children.

I actually support removing Trump and having a 40 year old Culkin directing his child self to the lobby is actually pretty funny meta humor.

My family’s a fucking cliche. Grandpa was in air force. Biological aunts,cousins except for my oldest, and uncles were all hardcore republicans until they became trumpers. They lap that q shit up. My youngest cousin is the most vocal in his support.
My grandmother was english born and married my grandfather while he was stationed there. She never became a proper u.s. citizen. Always renewed a green card. Also strict republican but she passed before trump was elected. Was also racist AF more than my grandpa.

You want to know great irony? She hadn’t renewed her green card for 3 years before she went. She literally died an illegal and undocumented immigrant. Care to guess most of my fam’s stance on illegal immigration?
But we’re white for the most part(lotta native american from grandpa ) but that doesn’t apply to us :roll_eyes:

Only ten voted to impeach. The rest being terrorist isn’t surprising, and why I’ve called them the U.S. Taliban in the last politics thread.

Perceived? People view it that way because it’s reality. It’s not a coincidence the whenever conservatives create a safe space it fills up with racist, anti-semetic, and generally demeaning comments about any group that isn’t a straight white male. I know you can’t see it because you’re the target demographic but you yourself are an example of why minorities won’t go republican. People where simply talking about educated people being liberal and you somehow made it about white people.

the problem with people especially trumpsters is that they think facebook and twitter arent entertainment apps. they consider them incorrectly as news sources. the difference between the nytimes and twitter, is that the nytimes has factcheckers on payrolls.
twitter/facebook does not.

This is a pretty solid take on why the GOP (as we know it) is dead.

“You can’t poop where we poop!” - Ivanka Trump, 2024 candidate for President of the United States

“Made it about white people”, I gave the example of white men to show that it’s much more complex. And you just said it yourself, minorities are not going to vote Republican in large numbers regardless of education level or income.

Also what target demographic? I can’t be classified as a straight white male because i’m mixed, i’ve already said that on this forum.
