Actually much (if not MOST) of the violence in the mostly peaceful BLM protests was instigated by the same people that attacked our Capitol to overturn the election. It is the MAGA insurrectionists flying Trump flags in both cases.

Lauren Boebart won her re-election. That tells you everything you need to know about the 'red wave'.
 
No, that was not what you said.
It's ok you don't recognize the sarcasm. The idea that libs should forgive cons history of racism, when cons do not renounce and keep practicing those horrible tendencies, is absurd. But go on..
I stated that the race hustlers would take advantage of Libs trying to expiate the sins of their ancestors,
Hold on, no that is NOT what you argued, lets review:
. Of course, this is a forlorn hope, since the race hustlers (liberals) allow for no expiation (atonement) of past sins, since everything is racist.
You were not arguing libs need to make reparations for their sins, you argued libs do not accept the atonement of cons. This is the absurdity, cons have not made reparations, they have fought to keep voting suppression in place just as they have fought to keep Confederate generals statues in place. That is NOT atoning for past sins.

and you said that made sense.
Yes, sarcasm, since you argued libs need to atone for some imagined sins of past liberals....IN THE South!
The only way that makes sense to anyone is if you take the POV of a race hustler; that it's to his profit to keep racial divisiveness going no matter what.
Yeah, I see that all the time, liberals wanting MORE racial division. We are known for causing strife by setting up barriers for employment, wealth gains, voting rights.....against minorities.
But by that criteria White Nationalists are not wrong for what they do, because it's to their benefit.
Again, you come up with the weirdest arguments, here you are trying to claim racists don't work towards racist ends, keeping minorities away from the levers of power, politically or economically. It is so strange....but then you just did try to argue liberals need to atone for past sins in race relations.

Your posts keep getting weirder and weirder as you lose more argument.
 
It's all the fault of the dems. Do you guys ever stop with the bullshit?

To be fair, when Trump won in 2016 some Democrats were bitter about the voters who believed the polls and stayed home. And they blamed the pollsters, which is not much different to blaming the media.
 
Lauren Boebart won her re-election. That tells you everything you need to know about the 'red wave'.

Yeah it does.

In 2020, Boebert won CO-03 with a 5.9% margin
In 2022, she won the redistricted CO-03 with no margin.

But wait, it's a new district. To assess whether she did well or not, we need to use the redistricted Trump vote. Trump got 52.7% vs Biden's 44.7% in the places which make up the new CO-03. That's a margin of 8.0%

Boebert is 8% less popular than Trump in her district. That's all you need to know.
 


Actually much (if not MOST) of the violence in the mostly peaceful BLM protests was instigated by the same people that attacked our Capitol
That's nonsense. There were few instances of that. However, there are also tons of incidents of leftists faking hate crimes. Meh. There is no way "most" of the 2020 Leftist riots were white supremacists. Not possible.
 
Henceforth, the Red Ripple.


Emily Letella:
"What all this I hear about Pink Nipples? There's nothing WRONG with pink nipples, why my own nipples are pink and lots of people have nipples that color!
I don't understand why the news med..... WHAT? WHAT IS IT?"

Chevy Chase:
"Miss Letella, it's pink RIPPLE, the news media is calling last night's elections a pink RIPPLE, not nipple."
"Ohhhhhh! That's totally different! NEVER MIND!"

I saw an amazing montage on Chris Hayes' show last night. The red wave expectations came about because of everyone echoing it on right leaning media. Over and over. It was very funny.
 
It's ok you don't recognize the sarcasm. The idea that libs should forgive cons history of racism, when cons do not renounce and keep practicing those horrible tendencies, is absurd. But go on..
Except what the race hustlers propose is the shaming of people for their color, not for their political positions. That's what the whole trope of "white privilege" is about. On some level, Mad Libs like to think they've bought absolution for their ancestor's sins by backing insane policies like cashless bail. But the race hustlers know that their money stems from white guilt, so they'll never grant absolution, even to whites who have not been guilty of those "horrible tendencies."
Hold on, no that is NOT what you argued, lets review:

You were not arguing libs need to make reparations for their sins, you argued libs do not accept the atonement of cons. This is the absurdity, cons have not made reparations, they have fought to keep voting suppression in place just as they have fought to keep Confederate generals statues in place. That is NOT atoning for past sins.
No, you completely misread, which you might have noticed if you'd troubled to reprint my actual words. I said "race hustlers," who obviously do not represent all Libs, do not accept the atonment of other Libs who bow down and try to apologize for past sins. How do you even manage to type when you read so badly?
Yes, sarcasm, since you argued libs need to atone for some imagined sins of past liberals....IN THE South!
Did not mention the South at all, though evidently you want to bring it up because you think it strengthens your untenable position.
Yeah, I see that all the time, liberals wanting MORE racial division. We are known for causing strife by setting up barriers for employment, wealth gains, voting rights.....against minorities.

Again, you come up with the weirdest arguments, here you are trying to claim racists don't work towards racist ends, keeping minorities away from the levers of power, politically or economically. It is so strange....but then you just did try to argue liberals need to atone for past sins in race relations.

Your posts keep getting weirder and weirder as you lose more argument.
Since you couldn't be troubled to read my actual words in your desperation to unleash your rant, maybe this post will clarify that the sins of which I spoke are more theoretical than actual.
 
His arguments certainly do turn inward on themselves, consuming themselves....it is bizarre.
It's bizarre that you can construct a whole rant that has nothing to do with my post and then accuse me of involution.
 
Except what the race hustlers propose is the shaming of people for their color, not for their political positions. That's what the whole trope of "white privilege" is about.
WTF? Liberals, who are overwhelmingly white, are shaming cons.....for the color of their skin? Good grief, what an idiotic argument!
On some level, Mad Libs like to think they've bought absolution for their ancestor's sins by backing insane policies like cashless bail.
Again, what "sins" do you think past white liberals committed that you think they need to atone for? You keep going back to this absurdity without explaining.
But the race hustlers know that their money stems from white guilt, so they'll never grant absolution, even to whites who have not been guilty of those "horrible tendencies."
Gee, I'm white, I hang with blacks....I don't get grief. But go on...
No, you completely misread, which you might have noticed if you'd troubled to reprint my actual words.
I quoted you, you changed your argument from libs never letting cons atone....to....libs need to atone.....and you can't explain what we are supposed to atone for. You make less sense as you go on.
I said "race hustlers," who obviously do not represent all Libs,
Laugh, you still can't create a positive definition, you keep creating negative descriptions, saying who might not be included. You are terrible at this.
do not accept the atonment of other Libs who bow down and try to apologize for past sins. How do you even manage to type when you read so badly?
You still have not defined who or the "sins". You just keep spouting mindless drivel that has zero basis.
Did not mention the South at all, though evidently you want to bring it up because you think it strengthens your untenable position.
Well. the basis for anyone to atone for past racist sins....would be...wait for it.......Southern conservatives, who still have not given up the fights of their forbearers. The maga crowd is operating STILL on the early principles of WF Buckley, the suppression of minority votes to keep conservative whites in power.
Since you couldn't be troubled to read my actual words in your desperation to unleash your rant, maybe this post will clarify that the sins of which I spoke are more theoretical than actual.
No, again, you keep making claims about past sins of liberals.....and you can't directly name any.
 
They might try that charge, but given that the crime of Imaginary Pence had no precedent, it might be hard to make the case.
Uh, there have been and are currently many cons being charged with that exact crime during this same event, wtf are you talking about that there is no "precedent" for the obstruction of Congress. I can go to the past of others being charged with obstruction. Your arguments continue to make zero sense.
 
This coming from a poster who has a caveman name and makes caveman arguments.:LOL:

Read my sig. It's actually a boast: I am my own worst enemy.

Why you'd be proud of making circular arguments is still a mystery. Is it some epistemological shit?
 
MNG, I feel for you. My guess is the billionaires are cashing out with the US and probably are interested in investing in other parts of the world in the near term. It's probably time to let the US go to shit and rebuild it from scratch anyway. Too many race problems, too many political problems, too many economic problems, and to top it off the rest of the world is moving away from a US-centric paradigm. The upcoming war with Russia will be the end of the US. I suspect the US will eventually be balkanized into 10+ little countries to keep it from ever becoming too powerful again. My hats off to the dems, they "won" the battle, but will lose everything in the end game.
"Probably time to let the US go to shit"? Hmmm? There's that pesky lack of optimism thing again. Will you be moving elsewhere? Or settling into one of the little balkanized countries?

Extreme negative views of one's own country usually reflect a low ebb of self-worth.

And the answer is always "Canada". Not many Americans fancy learning a new language, and the UK has a bad reputation for an entrenched class system (though actually it has better social mobility than the modern US). You can't get out of the car in Australia without being bitten by something, so there aren't many other options.
