Topic: MAGA fags were so triggered they needed a Kid Rock halftime show.

This way they could be sheltered from the terrifying Latino performance sung in Mexican. Turning Point provided a safe space for terrified MAGA celebrants who didn’t have to witness a Puerto Rican foreigner despoil the stage with his jungle rhythms. Kid Rock also gave them another half hour to avoid talking to their families or, God forbid, read a book.

Kid Rock is such a big phoney. This "Mr. Rock" as it turns out, is really an overgrown trust fund theater kid named Rob Richie. His fuckin dad had a car dealership.

One of the biggest in Michigan.
He reminds me of this hobo hippie kid in high school. The bus pulls up to his house and it was a mansion. He wasn’t camping out back.

“He was raised in a 5,660-square-foot home in Romeo, Michigan, on a 6-acre estate featuring a horse stable and orchard. His early career was supported by family money.”

He barely won the popular vote and his approval rating has only gotten lower and lower since he took office because people think he’s doing a bad job of it.
> Donald Trump actually got less than 50% of the votes in 2024. He still won the popular vote, but the majority of Americans have never supported him.
He won the election due to people who thought a lifelong con man and seditionist, whose has excelled at entrepreneurial failure and defrauding investors, would magically become a restrained and astute statesman at 80.

I support democracy, and I’m not an expert on this, but the Ancient Greeks had some criticisms of democracy. For example, I think Aristotle took a more pessimistic view of it. Of course, these days you’re not supposed to question libertarian thinking.

Trump’s main support base really is uneducated white voters. Which is why they think college is indoctrination. It’s not that college makes people left wing or college is left wing propaganda, it’s more that the smarter somebody is the more likely it is they’ll realize how stupid Trump is.

Also if you look at the history of slavery and the civil rights movement, there is a valid argument to be made that a strong federal government guarantees freedom more effectively than giving individual states democratic sovereignty does. If it was up to white southern voters, slavery wouldn’t have ended.

The reason economics is called the dismal science is because it actually proved that slavery was a net negative for the economy. Which played out in the civil war, the north won because it was more developed and more industrious. People who try to white wash the civil war to pretend it wasn’t about slavery (the states that seceded wrote that it was because of slavery) will say it was over "states rights." There’s some truth in that, it was states rights to own slaves. That’s why they were called confederate, because they wanted a weak federal government. But the modern American state was the federation which was the original central government before the US split apart. Which is why republicans want to weaken the federal government despite controlling it.

People will say it’s authoritarian, but sometimes you actually really do need a strong central authority to kill people that don’t want to be a part of that union in order to protect the rights of individuals. Which maybe sounds twisted but that’s how it worked out in reality.

If the beloved Kamala Harris had won the election, incomes would soar and living costs would plummet. The hundred-million or more entrants would bless us with diversity and maximize the multiculturalism that makes us stronger than any other country on the planet.
I pointed out that a president respects citizens by doing what he campaigned to do.
If he stopped enforcing immigration laws like he said, then he'd be disrespecting the majority of voters. He had a mandate to deport illegal immigrants.

There’s no reason to throw a fit about the half time show other than racism. Puerto Ricans are American citizens and the United States didn’t have an official language until Donald Trump signed an executive order. But the reason why we didn’t have an official language is because not all American citizens speak English. 95% of people in Puerto Rico speak Spanish but it’s a part of the United States. It’s incredibly disrespectful to complain that American citizens aren’t American because he doesn’t approve of their culture, which is American.
> If they barely win, they still won. > > Respecting democracy means letting them carry out their democratic mandate. > > You can't just ignore the election results when they don't go your way.
They don’t have a mandate. An election win is not permission to grift, rule by royal decree, use federal police as a personal army, cause massive job losses and hurt American business and taxpayers.
Trump is a lifelong business failure who succeeds only in enriching himself.
It’s an administration of liars that denied Project 25 was their plan. Trump casually talks about seizing Greenland and sees fit to rupture alliances he never would have possessed the intelligence to create.
He is surrounded by a cadre of unqualified subordinates who have overseen health care cost increases and outbreaks of measles and tuberculosis.
He’s an autocrat whose only virtue is deeply underscoring that the rich and powerful have no accountability. The sheep obey laws while they abuse teenage girls on an island with impunity.

plus we get to look at a decent looking woman all the time instead another fat minichan bozo in the office. again.
I genuinely believe most male maga/far-right voters are secretly gay.
> They don’t have a mandate. An election win is not permission to grift, rule by royal decree, use federal police as a personal army, cause massive job losses and hurt American business and taxpayers.
He's using federal police to deport people, which is what he campaigned on.
And yes, it's not permanent. Every 4 years the people get to decide who the next President is.
America gets 4 years of ICE because America voted for 4 years of ICE.
The losers of the election don't get to invalidate that because they are upset. The very idea is undemocratic. Maybe the "democrats" should change their name since they don't respect elections.

I’m not a Democrat. MAGA is an autocratic movement that hijacked the GOP. No one is invalidating an election. They’re questioning the abuses of power by a corrupt old man.
ICE agents killed two people who didn’t do anything. They’re also grabbing actual citizens and lawful residents. Oddly, Obama deported far more and he did so by having states empty their prisons of illegal criminals to send home.
Securing the border is a win. Of course, Trump had his allies subvert a good bipartisan bill that would have done the same under the last administration.
Trump promised affordability. Failed. Hailed a new age of manufacturing and failed with tariffs that helped eliminate 68,000 manufacturing jobs last year. He and his cronies are destroying alliances and export markets. Then they lie more and deflect.
> ICE agents killed two people who didn’t do anything.
Renee Good refused to get out her car when ordered to, and then accelerated when a federal agent was in front of her car.
You are lying about something with video evidence proving you wrong. Even if the video is too fast for you, you can go frame by frame and see the car accelerate forward before the ice agent moves. He later had internal bleeding.
You're fooling yourself if you think you're convincing anyone, the fact is he should have had more than internal bleeding because he murdered a mother. Almost causing a minor injury to a idiot that steps in front of a car, doesn't justify lethal force by that idiot or any other idiot for something that would have mounted to a minor car accident.

Wrong, you don't get a pass on attempted murder because you're a mother.
First because because your sex isn't a legal defense.
Second, because cheap tactics like "she was a mother" just encourage that demographic to be the front line since they have immunity. A lot like when leftists bring children to a protest.
The left hides behind women and children for a PR win when things go violent. The right makes men the front line so only the men are exposed to violence.
Can you read? Can you understand the difference between a car accident, fleeing the scene, resisting arrest.... And attempted murder? I don't think you can. Are all car accidents attempted murder? Am I murdering you right now?
Ah you can't understand the difference between fleeing the scene and attempted murder. You don't even understand the difference between car accidents and attempted murder.

Tbh I’ve talked to that guy before. He believes in eugenics and thinks humanoid robots will take over the world and he’s obsessed with American politics but he’s an EU citizen. I think he has some mental issue tbh.

Like idk, I’ve met right wing Americans IRL, even actual real life trump supporters usually aren’t nearly as radicalized as him. It’s like a pathological thing, he’ll never change his mind no matter what you say.
I think they should, if nothing else, call Trump a traitor. That way they don't have to change anything about what they believe and not have to do mental gymnastics all the time just to coherently believe what they do and be a trump supporter.

I’m still the same person as anonymous S, I just cleared my cookies. I think a lot of people in the world feel relatively powerless in their daily lives, so the whole white supremacist rhetoric that they were born special appeals to them, and then living vicariously through a rich pathological liar appeals to them. They feel power in lying because if they’re not beholden to the truth they feel like they can do whatever they want. It’s a really messed up way to live that won’t get them anywhere, but it is what it is.

There’s really no logic to the way that they think. For example, white supremacists want to live in completely white societies, and they feel like they’re superior because they’re white so that makes them feel special. But if everybody actually was white, being white couldn’t possibly make somebody special. But they don’t even think about simple things like that.
That's so sad because just being a human is already profoundly special, I suppose the world can take the wonder out of that anyways, I mean it definitely can.

Yeah, I mean, all of us are incredibly lucky in a lot of ways. I guess if we could be randomly born as any species in any time in any place, being humans in modern industrialized societies instead of hunter gatherers or insects or something is highly unlikely.
Yeah it's a very lucky thing, but so mysterious for me personally. Like what is the deal with us, we can come up with lots of answers for that vague question, then watch die hard or something.

People have different opinions on it, but there are so many stars in the universe, I wonder if we’re really the only civilization and if there are others if they could be more advanced than we are. What would it mean if a civilization was a billion years older than us?
I don't know what that means but I've wondered about how a intelligent life form would spread if there's truly no way for such abnormalities to travel great distances on cosmic scale.
I like to think it wouldn't be done in the name of expansion like a empire or something like that, but mere respect of life, they'd try to send these versatile microorganisms, put those on rocks, and just spread it around like turkey on Thanksgiving
