The last two weeks worth of conventions have shown me how wrong I was. The crazy knee-bending of Biden to the shitheads to his left. The focusing on social science bullshit instead of American workers. All of it.
My view of Donald was mostly whatever just showed up on my random browsing. Mostly tweets that went viral. I thought he was an dick (to be fair - he sounds like a dick but what did Team America teach us about dicks?If you don't know read u/rabdargab response below), and he was a republican - so why would he be for workers?
I didn't even realize the full list of shit this man has gotten done. And the republican party? They are marching to his drum and his drum is bangin out progress. It's made it from a party of Haliburton and big business warmongers the last time i actually looked at them, to a party of workers and SMB who will strike when they need to - and mind their own business when they don't.
I didn't give this guy a chance after he got elected. I was wrong. But I'll damn sure be giving him 4 more years. I want to see a new American story on the air every night from now to the election. Let them try to fight those ads. Let them try to fight the real lives of real Americans that POTUS brought REAL CHANGE to.
So Morpheus, I think I'll see how deep the rabbit hole goes now. My info has obviously been bullshit up til now. Help a guy out here. What do I need to look at to catch up with what's really going on?
SPEZ: Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and breadth of material, spent most of my night reading through alot of it and will be doing so again tonight. Any dead tree recommendations for the bookshelf?
I watch all the conventions I can find (I can usually reliably find the RNC/DNC/Green/Libertarian and occassionally can find a few others) and I might be one of the like 4 people watching c-span during senate and house committee hearings. I like the protocol of things and watching the sausage get made. I've never been much of a rally person Dem or Repub - a little animated for me - but i'll give them a look.
I don’t watch the rallies much anymore, don’t have the time. The rallies in 2016 on the campaign trail were amazing- watch those. He talks about policy and ideology. I started watching them because I was pretty distressed that those were the candidates and I wanted to see what he was about and why on earth people were voting for him in the primary.
I was redpilled in the first one and I became a yuuuuuge Trump supporter. So glad the person I voted for In the primary didn’t win
