Are you one of those bigoted, cop-loving, straight, while, male, Trump-supporting, nazis that I keep hearing about?

What would wxmen even imply? Considering Latinx is Gender-neutral latinos, would wxmen be Gender-neutral women? I mean it wouldn't shock me at this point. I'm sure we're one New York Times article away form Wxmen being pushed into use by degenerates on Twitter.

Fact check: Pants on fire!

While it is true that the individual in question was assigned male at birth, and has male chromosomes and male genitals, that does not mean that the person is male. As our science community has agreed, gender is a spectrum and people can identify as being another gender (or be gender non-binary) if they simply feel like they are such.

And while I intend this as a joke, do not forget that CNN's "individuals with a cervix" was entirely serious.

Considering the picture of the account is a K-Pop star, is this another weird TikTok initiative against Trump, to suppress the fact that Antifa's starting the fires?

A normal, healthy man in this situation would realize that he doesn't have a schedule in his pocket, pretend like he wasn't planning on pulling it out and just make the point he was gonna make anyway without it.

Not Biden though. It's telling. He can't describe his schedule without directly looking at it, he has no idea what's going on. His staff just tells him "we're going to Kenosha today, Joe", and hope he understands.

A bit like the term fake news, I love how this man can take their propaganda terms and turn them around. Disarm the commies, one by one.

It's a moot point as neither me nor my sister are Americans, but as I said, we have 15 parties* here. The vast majority of people with knowledge of American politics here consider your two party system to be, at best, baffling. I know she certainly spoke out against it. And considering the disgust she expressed at numerous prominent democrat politicians and their party line, and her belief that Biden is genuinely worse than Trump, I'd expect her to throw out some protest vote for the greens or libertarians, in the hopes of breaking or shaking the two party system up.

You're also doing exactly what I warned against and writing people off. Not everyone's a radical Twitter user or Redditor, most people are capable of reason. You just have to know how to appeal to them. To a person who despises Trump's character, you can't just shitpost your way into getting their support, so most of the top content on this site wouldn't do much to persuade them. But ultimately, lives are at risk due to the riots, and the economy's at risk due to shutdowns. If there's any time to reason with people and change their minds, it's now. Even if it's temporary and they jump on the socialism bandwagon in 2024, that's better than nothing.

*It's parties, as well as political coalitions which are smaller groups of people with smaller bars of entry. They'd never be able to attain majority as they generally have a handful of members but they can and have gotten seats, usually giving a well-known politician or activist some say in our equivalent of Congress.

Politics are so different here that saying "vote dem" is utterly meaningless. We have 15 parties, and out of the three major ones, the one's that supported by big cities and social media pundits is also more economically conservative (literally called the Conservative party here), despite being somewhat-more socially progressive. (I do mean somewhat, it's all lip service). The rural-supported party that tries to appeal to older people also has imposed several restrictions on alcohol and done other several questionable things like that.

I suspect that in America, my sister would be a Jimmy Dore-esque case and vote third party. She seemed on board with some of the economic policies like medicare for all and education for all, and she doesn't agree with the social issues and pandering that the democrats do.

Every. Single. Dem.

It's an easy attitude to take, but a harmful one. The moment you view all democrats like that, you have written off the potential to reason and convince them of their party's lunacy. Most Twitter-obsessed people are a lost cause, but many people just don't know better. Unlike you or I, most people don't live in the news cycle, they hear a few things from coworkers or on TV, take it as truth and don't bother beyond that. You can reason with people like that, and you should be doing that every day.

It's not just limited to democrats, either. Jimmy Dore rightfully pointed out once that over a hundred million people in America just don't vote. These are people you can talk to as well. They don't think things can change, or don't care. Prove them wrong. Show them that things have changed for the better under Trump, and point out how bad things will get under Biden.

I have many conversations about politics with both Americans and non-Americans (I'm not American myself), and most people are not as radical as what you come across. Many are either reasonable people, or just uninformed. My sister, an anti-Brexit, anti-Trump, Sanders supporter and all around leftie in most counts, recently said to me that Biden was creepy because of the kid-sniffing stuff (keep memeing that, it's working), that defunding police is crazy and that the BLM rioters who keep defending criminals are doing far more damage to their own cause than good. I had completely written my sister off, but clearly she's much more reasonable than I'd expected. We had a genuinely nice chat, with me explaining some of Trump's achievements and the importance of things like the Second Amendment, and she was very agreeable.

tl;dr Most people are not as rabid as you think, try not to discount them if you can and instead try to persuade them via genuine conversations. Not everyone is a Twitter user, and it won't hurt to try.

How much do you wanna bet that when time comes, Joe will get confused and vote for Jo Jorgensen instead? They're both Jo's.

Certain browsers, like Opera, have built-in ad blockers on mobile. Opera's not great, it's bankrolled by China but if they can make it work, I'm sure others can too.

I got suspended for saying that one of the best reasons to vote for Trump is to see Maddow cry again. It's "inciting hatred against a race, gender or religion". I didn't think Rachel Maddow was any of those things but what do I know? I appealed it and have been waiting for a week. They've conveniently given me the option to just delete it myself, but I'm sure that Twitter is a reasonable organization and will take a look at the tweet in question soon.

Any day now.

Any day.

Well I'm not self-censoring, I said nothing wrong, fuck these people and fuck Rachel Maddow.

It was a symbol they "appropriated". The parentheses are echoes, based on a joke that when someone pushes progressive, subversive and anti-white agendas they, by pure coincidence, were a jew fairly often. There was a Youtube show that would say Jewish names with an echo effect, which I think is where it originated from.

There was a Chrome plugin that's still around that adds parentheses to thousands of Jewish names and organizations in any internet page you load, that got a lot of media attention. Many Jews started adopting it out of some weird sense of "solidarity". It's kinda like how gays try to "take back" the term "queer" or whatever, but it's a bit ironic considering the echoes were meant to be a modern day Yellow Patch, and they essentially branded themselves with it, quite literally giving the originators of this what they want.

Knowing nothing of what a "Swing state" is, and learning what the Electoral College is on November 8th of 2016, I always had a gut feeling that he would win. I don't think I'm smart but I apparently knew something that the media pundits didn't (or chose to lie about, either way).

That's the moment that got me into American politics. I didn't even know who Donald Trump or Rosie O'Donnell were, but the concept of a guy running for president saying something like that was too amusing.

Since the middle east doesn't matter anymore, that means we can pull our troops from there now, right? I mean, they did say "we have limited resources to fix our problems". Glad we're all on the same page here.

I'd suggest he threaten to deputize all citizens in riot-filled cities if they don't stop the riots in 72 hours, and then I'd probably let him give me some life advice for the remaining time, he certainly has it figured out better than I do.

I do love how that's their reason. It's not that Bernie's policies would cripple the fucking country, nah, the democrats couldn't give any less of a shit about that. But he poses the slightest threat to their party's status quo and they can't have that.

These people, and their republican counterparts, are genuinely wicked.

When the Soviets genocided 5 million Ukranians in Holodomor and 2 million in the Kazakh famine, that was okay because they were also "communists". Not willing communists as their countries were occupied by the soviets but who's counting? The millions of people in other occupied states that were deported to Syberia and other camps simply because they were literate/educated and therefore a threat to the Soviet regime, they were communists too? Mate, they were deported to deadly conditions solely because they were a threat to communism.

By that logic, killing Americans isn't hateful because America's being occupied and subverted by communists right now. Fuck off. The atrocities of communism are the most disgusting and blatant blind spot in American education.
