Unless I'm missing something, there's no historical precedent for a 3rd party working.

If Teddy Roosevelt couldn't get the bull moose party to take off, then I don't know why we think it would be a good idea to start the "patriot party". It would honestly be easier to overtake the Republican party that way we're not fighting 2 enemies at once.

I'm imagining it's similar to when my brother's dog chews up the couch cushion.

BAD MITCH! YOU'VE BEEN A VERY BAD SENATE MINORITY LEADER! BAD BAD TURTLE!

And then nothing changes...

If they would try it all at once, that would actually be better than slowly eroding the 2nd like they have been since 1934. Trying to take away all guns all at once would be more likely to trigger a reaction then all the in between steps like banning/taxing/serializing ammo, banning private sales, requiring licenses for types of firearms etc.

In theory-yes.

In reality- how do you separate black people from the hate-filled, resentful, victimhood culture they're steeped in?

The true character of a person comes out when they're surrounded by people who are part of their group and they feel safe. For some people, their true character is pretty ugly and no one is allowed to criticize it lest they be called a racist.

Not a conservative, just a feminist who's trying to move women from the very bottom of the victimhood totem pole and put them above the trans people.

She's trying to modify the agreement feminist have with the other intersectional victimhood groups. Right now people only pretend to care about women if it doesn't mean upsetting minority, LGBT, or Muslim communities. She doesn't realize that feminists are just a tool used by Satan to undermine western civilization and the greatest country on earth.

I think the "truth is in the middle" can apply to cases where there was a tit-for-tat escalation that ended in shared responsibility

But most of the time I think the "truth is in the middle" reasoning ends up leading people to taking nonsensical or contradictory views. People need to be willing to wrestle with ideas until they can say something is true. Often times people try to take a middle of the road position because a) they don't understand what they're talking about or b) nuance views so much that it just becomes ambiguous.

You're bread is safe (for now).

AFAIK, wheat has been one of the grains nobody has been able to successfully screw with. All the cereal grain varieties are the result of breeding, not DNA splicing.

Corn and Soybeans on the other hand...

Regardless, the seed/chemical (herbicide/insecticide/fungicide) companies are 2 sides of the same coin and they have the State Universities and other agricultural influencers in their back pocket. Combine that with the unique ways the government divvies out subsidies/welfare to farmers and you get a tangled mess of incentives, payouts, and management decisions that are a far cry from anything the invisible hand of the free market would decide.

I think this has a lot to do with it.

White people are told that getting along with everyone means they should being nice and accommodating.

All other people are told that getting along means white people being nice and accommodating.

And if you suggest otherwise, you're victim blaming.

Well if you would stop jumping around and singing The Camptown Ladies instead of laying track you wouldn't have that problem.

Biden is so bad, everyone would hate him if the media and big tech wasn't running interference for him 24/7.

Trump is so good, most people like him despite the media and big tech running lies and hit pieces on him 24/7.

If TIME magazine didn't have their "person of the year" issue, I don't think people would know it exists.

I feel like if the US annexed Canada about half of Canada would be super pissed and the other half would be fine if that's what it takes to get rid of Castro Trudeau.

First of all, sorry that sucks.

Secondly, you need to readjust your expectations. It sounds like you're following rules for a game nobody is playing.

we both still want to be friends

Do you really? I don't think so. You don't want to be "friends" you want to be "boy/girl friends" and saying that you want to be "friends" is dishonest, both with yourself and her.

Unfriend her, block her number, find a new friend group if you have to, you need to make a clean break because there's no being "just friends" between men and women, especially after a relationship.

We both really, really like each other

You're projecting your feelings onto her. If she really, really liked you, she wouldn't have broken up with you.

but she's still very busy with school and feels guilty for not being able to devote the time that she feels I deserve.

Once again, if she really liked you, she would make time for you. Be thankful she didn't drag you along longer than she did.

Before I met her through my church's fellowship group.

Expand your horizons, you'll never find a more entitled group of woman anyplace other than the church. They've become accustomed to all the privileges of traditional conservatism and feminism (of course they will strongly object to the feminist label because they're "against abortion").

I had been single for 12 years -- it was just one rejection after another. I'm at a point in my life where all of my friends are either engaged or married with children, and I have nobody.

There's nothing that says that just because you get a wife, you'll be happy. The most miserable people I've met have been married and don't think that just because you're Catholic or Christian, that is any kind of buffer against getting a bad wife.

My greatest wish in this life is to be a father and a husband

This is a huge problem. Your greatest wish in life needs to be completely independent of your marital or paternal status. Having a wife and children is a good desire but it needs to complement who you are as a man and what you are doing.

but I feel like my window of opportunity has closed. All of the Catholic women my age seem to be already married, are pursuing religious vocations, or are too devoted to their careers to have room in their lives for a man.

Unless you're 50, your window of opportunity hasn't closed.

House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the LORD. (Proverbs 19:14)

People will read this and think all I need to do is pray- which is presumptuous. You need to pray and lift heavy weights.

You know, all I expect from NPR is classical music during the day, and weird music at night and they can't even do that.

The left's reaction to Trump's allegations of voter fraud is very damning.

They can't object to it because that would bring attention to what happened.

They can't bring attention to what happened because it would show that cheated.

So they're forced to oppose and ignore allegations at the same time.

He's a solid dude that's for sure.

I hope he learns the ways of MAGA since he's been so close to Trump for so long.

We should go straight up the middle

  • ND
  • SD
  • NE
  • KS
  • OK
  • TX

I'd be OK with Wyoming joining in, but if other states like MN, MT, or ID want to join, they need to kick out the liberal Cali refugees.
