TribalWar Forums - [Mega] MAGA Super Trump Mega Thread

The GOP battled him early on. The president doesn't lead the house or the senate, nor is he a legislator. Everybody hated the dude, let's get real. Maybe you weren't paying attention to the GOP in 2015 and 2016.

The GOP battled him for the White House, but fell in line immediately after the election. They knew they needed Trump, his endorsements, and supporters to win their 2018 seats. Sycophants like Ted Cruz went from outraged about having his wife insulted by Trump to licking his boots in a matter of months because he needed him to back his 2018 campaign.

Didn't work out very well for them in the end. Hindsight and all that...

that may be where you are, in the U.S. teachers tend to be people that couldn't make it in their chose profession or thought they were entering a profession that gave them summers off

As far as tech goes... one of the defining traits of technology is that it's new. The people who do the best at that are the people who are most open to new things. That kinda rules out 'conservative' by definition.

I've met way more conservatives in tech than i have 'progressives'.

The right do not engage in progressive policies that improve the general wellbeing of the people as a whole.

That is why the far right represents a greater societal threat.

Then you obviously haven't been paying attention to what has been happening in this country for about 12 years

Relaxing restrictions on corporations is fiscal policy. You can disagree with it on economic terms, no big deal. Hardly a "far left" vs "far right" issue in the US. Corporations "preying on the public" is kind of a funny take on the subject. I could understand if conservatives were doing away with labour laws or something, but you're really reaching.

This is what the country is going to get more of moving forward. The question is where is the line for the 74 million who voted for Trump and feel like havax.

im not surprised at all that you think teachers are merely just failures, which is probably why you've never been taught. And it shows

i had about 3 that i actually felt taught me some valuable things, the rest were ****.

Those who can, do; those who can't, teach.

Could you actually address an argument sensibly as opposed to just saying "right good, left bad" with some examples of where the far right have done good for society?

Edit: amRam, just elaborate on this simple statement. "I believe the far right is better for society because..."

Thanks.

I've already stated that bad things happen on the fringes. NOWHERE did I even so much as suggest that the far right have done anything good for society.

Stop with the straw man bull****.

Expand this statement, why do you challenge it? What reasons do you have that makes you believe that the far right are not a bigger societal threat?

**** the partisan bull****, man. stop thinking your side is better, they're all ****. the politicians are all ****. none of them give a **** about you or your particular group identities. all of them want to take the people's powers away and give them to the government or the corporations, or both.
the sooner you can get that through your skulls, the better off we'll all be.
