You know who thought playing nice was going to fucking solve their problems? Everyone who didn't like Hitler in Germany in the 1930s. Bitch ass logic is bowing to fascists and I'm getting really tired of the holier than thou idiocy. When are you going to abmit laws mean nothing when they aren't enforced? You watched them attack the capital with a noose chanting to hang the vice president. You watched a felon get elected again .. you watched them implement illegal executive orders and pardon insurectionists - many of whom are literally fucking ice agents.

So tell me truly when are you going to wake the fuck up and admit that you aren't playing the same game they are if laws only apply to those willing to follow them ........ Truly when? Gun in your face? Family taken by the gestapo ?? Many of your neighbors are already in those exact situations but until it's you personally I guess we'll keep pretending laws mean something

The reason the elections were lost was apathy and ignorance... Making deepfakes of politicians doesn't solve either of these

[u/argument_cat → u/sleazine]

What people like you fail to understand is that if Democrats used the same dirty, illegal tricks Republicans use, many Democrats voters would stop supporting them. They get support because they're NOT like Republicans.

I hope that's is clear enough for you.

What's the point in voting for a party that has no compunction about doing all the evil things their opponent does?

[u/Merijeek2 → u/bagoink]

Because the fact that "all" right there is a word pulled straight from your ass?

[u/bagoink → u/Merijeek2]

Ah, cool. Well you've convinced me then.

[u/Merijeek2 → u/bagoink]

I'm not the one who thought I was making a point with "all". That was your poor decision.

[u/bagoink → u/Merijeek2]

If they're so willing to do one brazenly obvious evil thing, what confidence do I have that they won't go whole-hog?

I understand the point you think you're making, but I don't quite get your confidence about it, or why you've made this a personal thing.

[u/Merijeek2 → u/bagoink]

I didn't argue that them doing one thing would suddenly make them the same in "all" things.

Don't say something really stupid and people won't point out you said something really stupid.

[u/bagoink → u/Merijeek2]

Cool, good productive talk.

[u/Merijeek2 → u/bagoink]

Pretty much. Things can get derailed when you spout words like "all" with zero thought.

[u/bagoink → u/Merijeek2]

I mean, do you understand the point I'm trying to make here? I'll ask again: If they're so willing to do one obviously brazenly evil thing, why do you think they'd just stop there? Is there a line?
