People finally realized the entrenched “democrats” aren’t good people. They are poloticians just like the Republicans. We need a new party.

When you are talking about a survey, the “how far” is specific to each person. So it is a bad question. But no matter how Donny interprets it, the answer to the “have they gone too far” tells you Donnys interpretation is too far for the majority.

I think you can’t call youself ICE, but you could make up your own name. Since they are holding people against thier will, and are not law enforcement, I don’t know of any laws you would be breaking.

So can we hire some bounty bounty hunters to hunt the bounty hunters and release the captives? Seems legit.

No kings was just one round. The ones before were smaller. It’s gaining momentum. But it usually requires a trigger event. And trump seems to love to provide them. It maybe a week, or a month away. But as long as they keep getting bigger, we are moving in the right direction.

I know you are a person who is trying to help others in a variety of ways. And I do applaud you for that. But ignoring the realities of others is the same that many are doing to you. Open your mind to those realities and you may be able to use that information to come up with better solutions instead of just saying other people need to magically change who they are.

There have been more and more protests, and the suze of the turn out grows each time. The nyc mayoral primary has also show a massive shift in voting priorities that has the potential to drastically shift politics in the country permanently. People are doing things, we just have to keep on doing them until something works. Dictators have ruled the majority of the populations of Earth for a very long time for a reason. They have the advantage.

They showed up in record numbers for the no kings protests. So what are you talking about sitting down?

Well ok. Since your last two comments were so devoid of detail that they could have been added to litterally any thread on reddit… I guess you aren’t interested in any ideas that don’t match your current opinion.

I understand. It is very difficult for the majority of people to understand how other peoples brains work when it is different than theirs. For example, people without mental disabilities usually don’t understand why people with them can’t just use willpower to overcome the disability.

I am going to go out on a limb and guess your sister is religous. If not, than she falls into the 10 to 15% who voted for him because they gain something. I had a contractor who turned out to be the same. All he cared about was voting for whoever was better for his wallet. Lower taxes mean more money for him. He even had a slip of paper in his pocket with the values of a stock market index before and after trump. He proudly claimed that is why he would vote for trump.

But my best friends brother in law is a vet, and he is very pro trump. He simply has been duped. He honestly believes that all the negative news about trump is fake news. That it is the establishment trying to smear trump while he fights for the little guy. He is not brilliant, but he is an adult, and he even served his country. But he fell victim to the lies and the propaganda.

For each one like my one time contractor, I know 4 more like my best friends brother in law.

But we aren’t talking about everyone. Trump got less than 50%, 10 to 15% voted for him because they were greedy, and he was good for them. 35 to 40% are just to gullible. It is them I find it hard to completely blame.

But should you really? Watch the john oliver bit about online gambling. You end up with one person against an army of experts trying to manipulate them into making a bad decision. When do we decide that it’s just not fair for a lot of people, and they really had no chance.

That’s a tough one. The drive to mate is very strong. It was critical to the sucsess of the species. Controlling thoughts in that direction is near impossible. So how do you balance that in environments where focus is important. I honestly don’t have any idea for that.

If you are only talking about controllin actions, then I am on board with you. Though men are taught to do that to some extent. They generally don’t just grab women by the hair and drag them to thier man cave to rape them. Well generally. It’s just they aren’t taught that the line should be way back around the point ofvnot expressing any of thier thoughts without consent. Which you correctly point out is tough when media constantly shows them that the agressive male gets laid.

Sadly if I don’t vote, my app doesn’t consider it read. So I upvote nearly everything.

The thing I disagree with is the choice part. You are basically saying that people who have been brainwashed should choose to get the help needed to undo the brainwashing that convinced them that only evil people could have been brainwashed and that they are the most virtuous and righteous people to have ever lived. That just doesn’t work, that is why interventions exist.

You need to try to talk to more of these people. There are some who deserve blame, but not nearly as many as you think. Being an adult doesn’t automatically make a person capable of good decisions.

Neither of those links have anything to do with people having a choice to be less gulible. They are just definitions of the words with examples of use. Gullibility is a personal trait, not a choice. You mention accessing proper mental healthcare… good luck in the US. Besides, these people are being fed the line that they aren’t the ones who need help. Not to mention being convinced that the mental health professionals are transition toddler between sexes (which of course they aren’t). So they avoid even seeking the care.

But look at the data. Forvthe most part it is the red states he is hurting the most. They litterally are the victums. Doesn’t stop me from hating them, but I know the blame doesn’t really belong on them. The people who deserve the blame just want us to blame them.

That’s not how gullible works. You don’t have a choice. Evidence doesn’t matter if you are convinced it is fake news. And yes, I have met people who really believed all of that was fake news.
