God I hope not. But I can't know the future. It isn't like a third term hasn't been mentioned.

Well, and I can only speak for myself, a third Donald Trump term is literally the last thing I worry about with regard to the future of American politics.

President Vance, however . . .

Well there is certainly many more immediate concerns to be worried about.

Nope, never heard of project 2025. It’s just a wild coincidence that its objectives are being carried out systematically. 
 

Interesting site I found linked on Reddit https://www.project2025.observer

Yeah he was lying. I knew it and many others did. But when I talked about it I was fear mongering apparently.

And look it's all happening. Awesome.

They say it's happening. 

They're also losing in court.

Dismantling the federal bureaucracy is going to be much harder than they think. They can put up as many numbers as they want. That doesn't mean they are accurate or that they are achieving the goals they set for themselves. We won't know how much they actually shrink the government for quite some time.

If Kamala Harris was such a bad POTUS candidate then the Democrats wouldn't have nominated her as VP on the same ticket as an aging Joe Biden.  The risks were way above zero that she would have had to take over the Oval Office at some point.

And there it is - Kamala is inarguably more qualified to be president than Trump and Vance, but people like @Texasborn91 were never going to vote for a black woman for president. When they say "pick someone better" what they really mean is pick any white guy.

It’s not that even. When they say pick someone better they mean “not a democrat”

I’m more open to that. I know not everything is absolutes. But to let a pre pubescent child with clearly defined genitals take hormones bc they identify differently? I disagree with.

So don’t do it to your kids. Why do you want the government, that you hate and mistrust, to force us all to live to your belief system?

I don’t think that’s the issue. The issue is the parents should not allow their child to take gender hormones at an early age. When is too young? If you want to embark on that journey by all means have at it. why not wait til 18?

This is not fucking happening. You have heard it repeated so many times that you believe it must be true, otherwise many people would not be saying it.

Post some actual citations to your claims if you want to try to argue that your apparent single biggest issue is even a real problem.

I didn't ask you to get into a shit slinging match. I asked you, specifically, whether YOU carried the opinion during 2020-2024 that the inflation during covid was largely out of the president's control, or did you think Biden fucked up the economy. It's a very simple question you've now failed to answer 3 times.

The issue is you, or the government making choices that should be made by patients, their family, and their medical professionals based on their specific situation.

Because it's HIS belief system, regardless of whether it's consistent, logical, or even coherent. @Texasborn91 is an authoritarian, through and through. He wants power over the personal lives of people like Troph. It doesn't matter if she's a physical threat, but what does is that she's nonconforming and, therefore, a threat to his narrow worldview that's based on his limited knowledge (which he's already admitted) and his immature, self-centered, bigoted feelings.

Well because of puberty. But maybe they shouldn't. Fortunately very few of us will have to make a hard decision like that.

And that sounds like something for the parents and a medical professional to decide.

But I guess if we were to compromise I could see doing puberty blockers until 18 if that the parents and a medical professional decide is best for the child's health. Then the child can consent. 

But I don't have a trans kid so I don't know exactly how this works.

I can't get over the fact that Trump seems to be pulling this off given his obviously limited intellect, which is likely compromised further by age.  I guess I always thought dictators were evil geniuses, but in reality it seems far more important for them to be able to garner the blind support of a significant fraction of the people and weaponize their fears.  That doesn't take smarts per se, it takes audacity and "charisma" (for lack of a better word). 

Musk is no dummy, but is as much of an opportunist as he is a crafty thinker.  He seems to be Trump's Hermann Göring.  All dictators need a right hand man who will actually do the work.  Here we are.  

Trump’s a figurehead for a movement.  He’s just signing executive orders that others have authored and playing golf.

No, you said the PRICE OF EGGS was something the president had little control over. I'm asking if you believed the same, which you have STILL directly failed to answer, about the inflation from 2020-2024, or if you thought Biden caused it?

At some point close to the end of trumps term, if he doesn't die of natural causes, Thiel/Musk/Vance are going to take their shot to 25th amendment trump out of office.  They'll need to come up with some weird coalition to get 2/3rd of Congress to vote Vance in, but they'll find a way through intimidation and money whipping.

But probably he's going to die of mcdonalds before it comes to that so it'll be clean.

Look Hitler had some good ideas about using debt to rebuild Germany's industry post WW1.   But for the mass murder and wars, he might have been good for Germany.     <- This is how we read your post.  Sometimes it is important to look around you to see how the party and people who agree with you are also voting.   When you are aligned with anti-vax, anti-intellectuals, pro-nazis, that should give you pause.   And because our politics is a winner take all, then when you pull the lever for MAGA, you get the Nazis, because they are intertwined.   

And here is the thing, no one was saying you couldn't defend your home, family or property.   That is a bogeyman threat from the right-wingers.  I, along with other people on the left, have firearms, can use them, and hunt on occasion (though it is getting less frequent for me).   What people like me want, is the removal of accessibility for weapon systems that are designed for suppression or mass casualties.   I also want to stop the police from being a pseudo-unionized militia which has limited oversight.   That doesn't mean I want them to be killed or removed entirely.  But we should not look to the Catholic Church for inspiration on how to deal with bad actors within the organization.

Yet the guy you voted for made "Biden inflation" a cornerstone of his campaign.

You are an idiot.  A supreme idiot.  The idiot topper on the idiot cake, layered with shit icing.

Because of stuff that doesn't matter, or stuff the POTUS can't change....you voted "let's turn the country over to a dictator, ending the Republic."  Idiot is too nice a word for you.  Traitor.  That's the better word.

I think he did fine, not super in depth to it admittedly. Real estate was shit. Interest rates were shit. Inflation was high. Some inherited.

I mean that’s untrue, but that was a talking point. The reality is that people will vote what they feel is in their best interests. Will do the same shit in 4years. When Biden won last election Republicans bitched about everything. Human nature. The losing side doesn’t like to lose.

Much like your feelings toward Troph and her kind, I hold no personal animosity toward you, but you've shown your fascist stripes. And I have a personal code that fascism has no place in America and, therefore, your participation as a member of this board should be canceled in the same way that you voted (without remorse) to cancel Troph's right to fully participate in American society. If she's a second-class citizen of the US, then you're a second-rate Surly poster.

Just following your lead, and you said:

Everything about him should be disqualifying even if you agree with his agenda unless you are down with being Hungary at best and Russia at worst.  

Even if you find yourself agreeing with his agenda 100%, the result of that should be seriously questioning your belief structure. Not voting for and supporting evil that wants to dismantle America.
