    Being a republican means you never have to admit you’re wrong. You just live in a whole other universe where chemtrails turn the frogs gay, and Trump is an innocent, Christ-like patriot.

      What I never understood (not from America), is that one party claims to really care about freedom and less involved government.

      Whenever I hear that I think cool, so the freedom to have full autonomy over your body? Legal drugs, abortion, etc. Or the freedom to marry who you want, whatever gender. The freedom to legally end your own life, for example if you are terminally ill.

      But usually it’s just large companies shouldn’t pay tax and we want guns, but for everything else fuck freedom.

        No, you understand completely. The people voting for that party are just brainwashed morons and middle class dipshits with a few stocks who think they’ll become billionaires if only regulations were looser. You understand American politics better than like 80% of Americans.

        Also while they claim to oppose the government, somehow the military and police don’t count. Plus how most veterans vote for the party that routinely wants to reduce benefits for veterans.

        What gets me is the obvious con of it all. They preach anti establishment rhetoric… while being the establishment. They tell people not to trust the government… while in government… and expect people to trust them. And it works.

      Dude that’s a generalization and is just not true.

        While it is a generalization, it accurately covers the majority of Republicans who have been vocal online over the last few years.

          As far as I’m concerned each side has been just as annoying and incorrect as the other. Have you seen some of the stupid and objectively false things people say? It’s not just conservatives.

            One side wants to advance and protect human rights, and the other side wants to ensure some people never have those rights. While there are boneheads on both sides, the core arguments aren’t same-same-but-different. And there seem to be way more people on the far right who are coal and in greater numbers than there are radical leftists.

      And I don’t get why they hate the King so much either. The monarchy brings lots of tourism money into the country.

        USA is not the center of the world

        I’d love to see a full discussion from those who are downloading and uploading that comment, to try to understand the discrepancy between the people voting for and against the comment.

            I would think people are downvoting because it doesn’t make sense in context, like when was the OP claiming the US was the center of the world?

            Like many things about humans, I think it just comes down to perspectives moreso than truths.
