MAGA Fanboys: Trump's Calls to Protest Are A "Trap"
only registered users can see external links
Gee,I wonder why? Since I started wearing my hat way back when Trump came along,which is NOT red,none of my Trump hats are, I have only had 1 person come up and tell me I need to change hats, and my reply to him was, "naw,just need to change acquaintance's from 1's offended to some that aren't. He just smirked and we are still friends today. Even as a democrat he carrys concealed because he is disabled and supports gun rights.
And remember that Republicans in 15 states have been working to change laws on 'self defense' for drivers who get stuck in a group of 'emotional protesters'. Or do you get the dog whistle, that this is only intended to drive over BLM supporters?
Approving comments from 4 people is only a sign that Trumpism is not dead.
Everyone knows that. You're still a minority. Just a very loud minority.
And you're probably not living in the most liberal area of the US.
Why don't you get any negative comments on your camo MAGA hat?
Because most people don't like to get shot and killed. People like life.
Just wearing anything camo in a build area, is like wearing a sign 'I'm a gun nut!'.
With the number of gun deaths in your country, no one is stupid enough to confront you on your public exposure of your political ideas. You're just showing that your side is more violent, because lefties are not in the position to openly show their political ideas, unless they have a death wish. So in my opinion, what you're doing is gaslighting people who don't share your opinions, but are not allowed the freedom to express theirs, by your side. And you are proud of that gaslighting. You learned that from the proudest gaslighter in the world: Trump!
As for running over Blm'ers, I have no sympathy for a dumbass that blocks a interstate. And if rioters come towards me with bats and guns and I have no where to go but thru them to save myself, tough shit for them. I am not going to be Rodney Kinged by a bunch of crazy riotersWell I can't change what people interpret but the only reason I have a camo hat with the maga on it is because they don't seem to make a brown or grey or less "cocky rooster" color.
it is so brown and dark it is hardly noticable as camo really.

The gold lettering on mine has gotted faded.
North carolina finally has a antiriot law in place. any damage over 1500 dollars can be jail for 2 years. So if a person breaks a window or something minor,it is not the end o
I don't like protesters to block roads either, but I do think it shouldn't be more than a misdemeanor. It's still a peaceful protest. Didn't you support those truck-drivers in Canada blocking the roads for weeks on end? I didn't like their goals, mostly because they were nonsense, but I still supported their right to protest, also by blocking roads.
Would you have wanted them all arrested and jailed?
And the truckers were actually protesting a issue that prevented them from doing their jobs unless they submitted their bodies to a juice they didn't trust.A bit of difference in trying to solve a actual problem instead of taking to the streets for something miles away and not affect on yourself
"I have no sympathy for a dumbass that blocks a interstate"
We have protests blocking highways too. First it was the farmers.
When we went on our vacation last year, the trip took 2 hours longer, because they blocked many highways on the route. They did minor damage here and there and left a lot of hay bales everywhere that needed to be cleaned up. But I consider that peaceful protesting and their right. Later they blocked the distribution centers of supermarkets. That caused some food shortages shortly, but I think that's allowed too. The supermarkets are part of the reason for farmers making almost no money.
More recently, Extinction Rebellion blocked a highway several times. It's the exact highway I need to go to work. In my case that results in just another home working day, so I don't care, but I'm sure many people were affected. But that was even more peaceful protesting, than what the farmers did, because nothing got damaged or left behind needing cleaning. Still, the cops came and pulled them all from the roads and took them to the police stations. There is a clear difference with how protesters are treated, depending on political ideas.
When BLM started with their protests, it was completely peaceful. The only ones using violence at that time were the cops. I understand that it escalated later and I don't condone that. But you think their cause is less worthy then those truckers who didn't want to get a shot? I cannot find the words to express my disgust.
However, our farmers stopped blocking roads, because they were listened too. They got involved in negotiations. There is now a new political party, called BBB (Boer Burger Beweging = Farmer Civillian Movement), which won the provincial election in ALL 12 provinces. The expropriations are now for sure off the table.
I'm mostly OK with that, but I want good alternatives, and quick too.
At least the farmers had a reason to be angry. They were being sacrificed for decades of government mismanagement. This could have been prevented with smart regulation, but the stupid right-wingers deregulated and dropped milk and meat quotas and let the food corporations to exploiting the farmers. Then farmers had no choice but to massively increase production at the detriment of the environment. Now it is a crisis, and the courts forced our government to act.
The win of BBB just makes acting very difficult now. The best solution now, is pumping in billions of tax-payer money to help farmers produce more environmentally friendly. In any case, our farmers are listened to. They already were, but now they are dominating the politics.
Were those truckers listened to? Yes, the vaccine mandate was dropped.
A million Americans and 51,800 Canadians died from Covid though.
But scared people like you keep blocking the best prevention. The stupid fear propaganda that you have been infected with, will cause more death and destruction, the next time vaccinations are necessary to protect the public from a deadly pandemic. And you will of course not learn from any of the stupid fear predictions not becoming reality.
And now the real question; was the BLM movement listened to? Are the cops now killing less unarmed black people? Are cops who kill without clear justification treated like suspects and independently investigated?
I support the BLM protests to go on, until their needs are addressed.
And I support Extinction Rebellion to keep protesting, until our government stops procrastinating and starts doing what is needed for the energy transition.
And if blocking highways will help, than I support the right to do it.
Extinction rebellion? is that not the fools that glued themselves to a tanker full of vegetable oil a few weeks ago?

one blocked road is not going to affect access to hospitals that much.
We have 308 hospitals and 11 of them are specialized in acute care.
Besides that, we have trauma-helicopters too.
And pouring tomato soup over themselves like blood.
They try whatever gets them views in the media.
It's not their actions that result in anything,
it's reminding people about the issue.
What is really foolish is not recognizing the problems.
Or recognizing the problems, but not solving any of them.
First time parts of paragraphs just disappeared. That is why it is broken up and not the way i tryed to type it
Well Perhaps when someone you love needs to go to the er,and the roads are blocked, it might make a bit of sense to you why it is a problem.

Most of the time, you can cut a link shorter and still have it working.
Look for a question mark and cut everything after it.

by progressive media, while they also put down Democrats, I think you will like this video:

"
even if Trump is indicted, convicting him or sending him to prison would be “challenging”, since the case against him “hinges on an untested and therefore risky legal theory involving a complex interplay of laws, all amounting to a low-level felony”. Such a conviction could result in a maximum prison sentence of four years."
A blind man could see that the entire purpose of this endevor is election interference.
If anyone with the resources could take the time to find out, it is all probably backed by George Soros.
If this does not turn out in a conviction, your system of law is dead.
But of course you project what Republicans did onto Democrats.
Funny, how you all keep thinking George Soros is behind everything.
He's poor compared to your average billionaire. He only has $ 6,7 billion.
Since when did our country get so low we give Creedance to people that have done nothing but fuck in front of a Kodak over a man that has brought jobs and revitalization to buildings and golf courses all over the world for decades that is trying to bring his talents to the Presidency?
He disgraced himself by fucking pornstars and models, while his wife was pregnant. But that's not the issue here. It's not even lying about it. Wasn't Bill Clinton impeached over lying about extramarital sex?
Still no reason for the law getting involved. Trump is in trouble with the law over it, because he used campaign money for hush money. That's against the law, adultery and lying about it isn't. If the law cannot prove it, Trump should go free for that discretion. If they can, he should be punished harder than Michael Cohen, who only executed what Trump asked of him. That's still not years in jail though.
They shouldn't just trust the word of a pornstar. This requires real evidence.
They had enough evidence to jail Michael Cohen....

Is there not one thought in your head saying; 'The Democrats didn't have this long of a list on Bush. Maybe where there is this much smoke, there might be some fire.'?
Or does your worshiping of that man make you that blind?
Still, I have no trust in Democrats actually holding Trump accountable.
So you might be right that this will eventually all turn out in nothing.
As for smoke,In theator and movies there are machines that make fake smoke. No fire needed.
The democrats actions are theatrics to me.
It's not smoke created by Democrats. The whole world could see Trump create
huge clouds of it, every single day, with his actions, in every Tweet
and every time he opened his mouth, live on stage.
Most of his crimes he has admitted to. Just playing recordings of what the man said himself is all the evidence a courtroom needs. However there is tons more of it.
My side doesn't just say Republicans are dumb without a reason. They are way too dumb to cover their tracks, when they do conspiracies. They never expected to fail and they fully expected to get away with it. It's time for some comeuppance.
What say ye to this? 1 MILLION dollars unaccounted for,could have very well been put away for personal gain at some point.
Nothing done or said much about it for a YEAR.Ok, so why not?
Oh, we are out to get TRUMP, not eat our own right now say the democrats.
If there is a real reason to investigate any liberal or progressive for campaign funding violations, I fully support getting to the bottom of it. When someone who I like and respect brakes the rules, I drop them like burning piece of coal and replace them with someone who represents my viewpoints AND respects the law.
However, to answer your whataboutism; Trump didn't just violate campaign funding laws in the case with Stormy Daniels. He has a record of 43 possible violations.
The FEC is just unable to do anything, because none of the agency’s three Republican commissioners have ever voted against Trump. They are protecting him, no matter what he does. They fully endorse his corruption.

Donald Trump's campaign raised more than $250 million after the November 2020 election as part of a purported effort to “Stop the Steal”. He didn't use any of that money to actually investigate any election fraud claims. He redirected that money to a 'Leadership PAC'. That's exactly the same as AOC's campaign did, or even worse, but with 250x more money.
that he only used to enrich himself?
Anyone here, who attended the January 6 United States Capitol attack?
Anyone here, who still things he told the truth about the election?
Because that's what I would call 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'.
Or is it 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' to call him a fascist?
Looking at the definition I found, you probably say 'yes' on the last question:
"Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) is a pejorative term, usually for criticism or negative reactions to former United States president Donald Trump that are perceived to be irrational, and presumed to have little regard towards Trump's actual policy positions, or actions undertaken by his administration."
I'm 100% sure that you perceive my criticism or negative reactions to former United States president Donald Trump to be irrational, and consider it to have little regard towards Trump's actual policy positions, or actions undertaken by his administration.
So I'm sure you think I have 'TDS'.
However, calling Trump a 'fascist' is fully appropriate towards his actual policy positions and actions undertaken by his administration. And the guy socializes with Neo-nazis.
We didn't get into any new wars, we could afford food and gas. And the unemployment rates were very low across the races.
So apparently you both agree. Meatball Ron, is also a fascist,
by the way. In some expects he might be even a worse one.
I can't remember Trump banning all books, until they are checked
for anything that doesn't comply with his propaganda.
It seems to be the modern Republican party; every next president
makes the previous monster look better.
DeSantis will probably enact the death penalty for women who had a miscarriage
and the next president, lizardman, will reinstate literal witch-burning.
Folks that use name calling usually can't come up with anything else.
As they bullied other kids in school with "You are ugly", they bully other adults by calling them names like nazi,facist.
Your side is calling all democrats communists or socialists. That is pure BS.
So Trump gets that excuse but Biden doesn't. Hypocrisy!
If Trump gets a pass for the economy dropping like a rock when Covid hit,
then why do you keep blaming Biden for the remaining issues?
The problems of high prices for food and gas were caused by the Covid pandemic.
Companies lots a lot of income and when the crisis was over, they went berserk on our asses to recover their lost profits. That was the start of inflation. The sanctions against Russia have increased energy and food prices. When ever Biden tried to alleviate the situation, Republicans vote against him, because they like your pain.
Your unemployment is better now then during the whole presidency of Trump, so even before 'china bestowed the virus onto the world'.
Biden is handling the deficit, that Trump created, by giving handouts to billionaires.
But it will take time to reduce the inflation, that Trump caused, by adding $7.8 trillion
to the debt. (I'm talking about the 50% that wasn't created by companies after the pandemic and the sanctions on Russia. And some of that spending was necessary,
but most of it was just another handout to the wealthy.)
Maybe you forgot, but Biden pulled you out of a war, Trump didn't.
That's 0 points for Trump, 1 point for Biden.
And Biden didn't get you into any new wars either. You're not at war, Ukraine is.
No Americans are dying in Ukraine. This war is a lot less expensive than your wars against terrorism, that Bush started. And the Ukraine war is actually damaging your biggest enemy. Russia will suffer from what they did for decades to come.
The war against Iraq and Afghanistan only managed to increase the influence of Muslim extremists/terrorists on the region. The costs of the 20-year war on terror:
$8 trillion and 900,000 deaths.
Sending some weapons to Ukraine and letting them do the fighting and dying,
is your most effective military spending against an enemy yet.
And now you have international support. That war Bush started in Iraq had no where near the support. Europe gave some consent and helped clean up the mess a bit,
but otherwise the US acted alone. In Ukraine, Europe is picking up a lot of the costs and Europe is spending money to arm itself with American made weapons again.
We all come running to daddy again and the US will benefit from it massively.
The US is declining, because of crony capitalism and extremism, and the only way
to keep afloat is with massive support from Europe, against China.
You are naive as hell if you think we are not war.
Troops are not there but all our weapons are. most countrys that are sending supplys are noticing their stockpiles are dwindling. Again,because people won't go back to work to make the stuff.
It's impossible to stop a virus, without harming the economy, especially when your dumb public doesn't accept vaccines. It's people like you who allowed those Covid variants to evolve. Every infection is a risk of a new variant and you did shit all to prevent that. And you blame Biden for your unwillingness to be responsible?
I'm fully or mostly immune now. My girlfriend had Covid two weeks ago and we are not wearing masks or keeping a distance. I relied on the vaccine and getting mild Covid once before. It didn't get it, unless a slight headache one evening was a symptom.
If you try to prevent the spread of a virus, the means of production will be affected.
If you just continue producing if nothing happened, people get sick and die, or their families get sick and die. And then they say 'fuck you' to their employers. I'm sure you want to force them to work, while you cry that Democrats were being authoritarians, but most people would rather burn their employers at the stake than die to protect their profits. And you are a cuck if you think otherwise.
What are you talking about that people will not go back to work?
There are and have been no Covid working restrictions for many months now.
The labor shortage is not related to Covid anymore. People just have found other jobs. If you fire people from their jobs, they are going to find something new. If they found something better, they are not coming back to an employer who fired them.
What your saying doesn't hold up to data. Unemployment is very low.
If an employer want to make 'stuff', they need to pay for it.
If that will make 'stuff' a bit more expensive, I'm OK with it.
You have problems with paying a bit more, because you are screwed by the same system who screwed them. Then stop supporting that system and start supporting a system that benefits all, including you.
We are not at war! Only Ukrainians are dying. Of course the cold war is fully alive again, but I grew up with the threat of being vaporized at a moments notice.
I'm used to it. Aren't you? In the US they showed those stupid 'duck and cover' propaganda films. They at least didn't show those in The Netherlands. We just had the hit from the band 'Doe Maar' with the song 'De bom'. The chorus is:
'Let it fall because, It will happen eventually, It doesn't matter if you run'
That really had an effect on me in my youth. It's actually a miracle that I was still motivated to work for my future. But I just thought; 'Fuck them, I'm going to live my life, assuming they are not that crazy.'. I will not let them control me with fear over something that is out of my hands. But, I'm damn-well going to use my vote and my voice to fight against the people who endangered my future. That does include people who keep worsening climate change. That does not include bowing down to horrible dictators, just because they have nukes. And if you do, you are a coward.
If you prefer to bow down in fear, that's on you.
Or do you just like bowing down to horrible dictators? You do like Trump!
I'm not asking one horrible dictator to save me from another.
Freedom is worth fighting and the risk of dying over, if it's actual freedom.
But, I'm talking to people who have no idea what freedom is.
It's not the right to carry guns or not being banned over the N-word.
It involves not needing a gun and not feeling an urge to say the N-word.

The bomb
Building a career (note 1)
Before the bomb falls
Working on my future
Before the bomb falls
I run through my agenda
Before the bomb falls
Safely in the health insurance fund
Before the bomb falls
And when the bomb falls
I lay in my tidy suit
Diploma's and my cheques in my pocket (note 2)
My insurance policy and my vocabulary
Under the apartment buildings of the city
Next to you
Let it fall because
It will happen eventually
It doesn't matter if you run
I've never known you
I want to know who you are
I want to know who you are
I'm assured of success, (note 3)
Against fire and for my life
I have everything but no time,
Not even for a little while
I have to think about my salary
And about my relationships
But I'd rather know who you are
Before it's too late
Because when the bomb falls
I lay in my tidy suit
Diploma's and my cheques in my pocket (note 2)
My insurance policy and my vocabulary
Under the apartment buildings of the city
Next to you

Let it fall because
It will happen eventually
It doesn't matter if you run
I've never known you
I want to know who you are
I want to know who you are
You still need to do homework (note 4)

Is that a strange concept to you?
Who I am has not got anything to do with who you are.
You are supposed to be concerned with YOURSELF first and then perhaps check on your nearest neighbor.
Those words are a mixed up riddle or something,makes no real sense.
You have said several times you are "Ok" with paying more taxes and paying more for stuff. Where the fuck do you get the money? Peoples wages have to go up to pay for the increased cost of items. My disability check does not go up,yet everything I buy has gone up. And people that think like you don't seem to see that as a problem.
The point is that the bomb could fall any moment, so he decides to get to know the one watching the video (because he's pointing at the one watching, but I think he means some girl), instead of putting all his time in building a career.
"You are supposed to be concerned with YOURSELF first"
Why? Who told you that? Is that your morality or Christian morality?
(Matthew 19:21 Jesus answered him, “If you wish to be perfect, go and sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.”)
Paying more in taxes and paying more for stuff is not the goal by itself.
Paying more in taxes would be the result I accept for reversing the privatization of important facilities and services representing a public necessity, like healthcare, power, tap-water and public transport. However, that results in paying way less at the point of use and actually saves money.
Paying more for stuff is the result I accept for increasing the minimum wage and the benefits of old and disabled people, less exploitation of poor countries and less pollution. Then more people can afford to buy food and stuff, even while the prices are a bit higher. If poor countries can develop themselves, then less people come looking for jobs in my overpopulated country. And less pollution is just necessary to save nature (and with it humanity) from collapse. The increase in consumption will strengthen the economy. That also increases tax income to invest in public necessities. Maybe I would pay a bit more for stuff, but I will be OK. The decrease in poverty will eventually benefit everyone, including me.
It will result in less crime, less drug addiction, less dependent people, less unhealthy people, less mental illness, less dumb people and more people who are able to maximize their potential. That doesn't only increase happiness and general well-being, it decreases costs to society too.

However, I would never claim that Biden doesn't lie.
He just lies a lot less, about less important subjects.
Mostly, the overall message that Biden is conveying is still true,
while the message Trump is conveying is more often a total lie.
But your right that it is not fair to disregard Covid or wars or other crisis,
that just happen in the world and the president did not cause.
But y'all are doing that all the time, when blaming Biden for inflation and Ukraine.
The fact however is that Trump's taxcuts didn't do shit for the economy.
Well before anyone heard about Covid, the US was on it's way to a recession.
Meanwhile, Biden is investing in infrastructure and green energy.
That does provide a boost to the economy and creates jobs.
However, there is a limit of creating jobs. At a certain point, everyone who can and wants to work is working. The reality now is that there's a labor shortage.
The only way to increase your economy now is raising the wages of those working people, so they can spend more, will pay more taxes, and will be less dependent on help from the government. That will lower the deficit, improve the debt-to GDP ratio and will lower inflation.
I don't apply reasoning to the side that just blindly believes everything
that their own side tells them, because that's not reasoning.
When the 'other side' is doing or saying something positive, I acknowledge that.
If you want to argue that Trump created jobs, then explain how.
Did his trade-war witch China cause those jobs? I saw it only creating mayhem.
Did his words against outsourcing create jobs? It just continued.
Did his tax-cuts create jobs? It created a huge deficit and stock buy-backs.
Did Trump canceling the TPP create jobs? What was better in the CPTPP?
Trump cut lots of regulation. What regulations were reducing job growth?
And when cutting regulations cause incidents like trains derailing and poisoning
of thousands of people, how much extra jobs would that be worth?
Investing in infrastructure and renewable energy creates lots of jobs.
But of course that's no good, because Biden did it.
Are you applying your reasoning to the other side?
