I am a college student and I have 7 liberal roomates. They are for the most part pretty civil but they do tend to just call out subjects and start grilling me on why I think things.
I have never really been one for discussing politics. I like capitalism, I know that government slows things down when it starts to try and control the economy (e.g. every true socialist countries history of economic blunders) but over the last 5 years of highschool and community college I have been forced to decide and start taking a stance. But I’m finding that I don’t know a lot about specifics or have a ton of sources to defend myself with.
Specifically with: immigration (why not give them amnesty and then just tax them?)
Why not tax the rich? (Minimum wage is a scam and we can’t live off of it- so tax the rich to help us through social programs)
And Trump rigged his trial (It was super shady and he is trying to hide that he pushed Ukraine to investigate Biden)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This sub has been awesome to read.
Voted Trump 2016 because I don’t belive in not voting
Voting 2020 because these people scare me and Trump is standing up to them. They are bullies and he’s trying to take them on.
MAGA!!!!!!!
Seconded. A quick test is to ask them, "If I proved to you that President Trump is best for this country, would you accept it and vote for him this fall?" 95% of the time they will indicate "no". Odds are, you have more useful and productive things to do with your time.
Interesting, and so simple.
