We've got at least 4 years of gross and angry posts from you and Marcos and Second and Nilbog here.
You certainly don't seem to know how to enjoy life.
Looks like you're projecting again.
What have you done today to earn your place in this crowded world? :)

Quote:6ix, have you not watched a movie about WWII? The bad guys get destroyed for our entertainment. Some of the highest quality movies show us that the bad guys (the Nazis) think they are, at least in their own minds, the good guys, which makes it even more entertaining to see them suffer and die. You probably cannot understand that Trump is the bad guy who thinks he is a good guy. But then again you heaped ridiculous amounts of praise on the movie Joker, which is about a bad guy who doesn't die for what evil he has done -- numerous murders -- his mother for one. As reminder, Trump is on a murder spree right now, killing prisoners. And he is pardoning murderers.

Quote:In the real world, not just the movies, the Germans believed they were the good guys in WWII almost to the end, when they lost. Also in the real world, the Confederates believed they were the good guys in the Civil War even past the end, when they lost. Recently, Trump vetoed the defense bill because "Mr Trump is objecting to provisions that remove Confederate leaders' names from military bases." Trump honors the traitors. The Trump voters I know in Texas don't think the Confederates were the bad guys. They say things like 'Trump and the Rebels are alright.' Trump voters are very confused about what is right and wrong, as were 74,216,747 Nazis who survived WWII.

Trump voters are also very confused about what is the right and wrong way to be financially successful in America, but that is another story, perhaps connected to their politics since it is the same brain making both financial and political choices. Why would their brain do one better than the other? Most likely the brain would be bad at both.

Quote:“If the coronavirus death rate in the United States were similar to that of Australia, it would have had 187,661 fewer COVID-19 deaths . . . and, compared with Canada, it would have had 117,622 fewer deaths.” And another hundred thousand US deaths have accumulated since October. So amplify those numbers accordingly, please, as this president’s personal death-toll on the nation.

Why? A religious historian explains why Trump wasn’t a trade-off for American evangelicals
Sean Illing - Help me understand why masculinity and nationalism are so foundational to the contemporary evangelical worldview.
Kristin Kobes Du Mez - What I look to as a historian is this critical period in the post-World War II era when these gender ideals fuse with anti-communist ideology and this overarching desire to defend Christian America. The idea that takes root during this period is that Christian masculinity, Christian men, are the only thing that can protect America from godless communism.
At the same time, you have the civil rights movement destabilizing white evangelicalism and conceptions of white masculinity. Then you have feminism destabilizing traditional masculinity. And all of this comes together for evangelicals, who see their place in the culture slipping away, and they see their political power starting to erode because of this cultural displacement. That’s the moment when you see Christian nationalism linking together with a very militant conception of Christian manhood, because it’s up to the Christian man to defend his family against all sorts of domestic dangers in the culture wars, and also to defend Christian America against communists and against military threats.
Sean - So the idea is that Christian masculinity is the only thing that can preserve traditional American culture, and that belief is what precipitates the turn toward a more muscular Christianity?
Kristin - That’s exactly right. So when you think of evangelicals, a lot of people think of the term “family values.” But I actually went back to the origins of family values evangelicalism and I was really surprised just how much it was placed in the context of foreign policy, how much it was in the service of defending the American nation. If you go back and listen to James Dobson of Focus on the Family and read the books that emerged during this period, this is all very clear.
Sean - The phrase “family values” is typically hurled at evangelicals in order to call out their hypocrisy, but I think your book makes pretty clear that they’re not hypocrites at all. They only appear hypocritical if you misunderstand what they actually value.
Kristin - Exactly. If you understand what family values evangelicalism has always entailed — and at the very heart of it is white patriarchy, and often a militant white patriarchy — then suddenly, all sorts of evangelical political positions and cultural positions fall into place.
So evangelicals are not acting against their deeply held values when they elect Trump; they’re affirming them. Their actual views on immigration policy, on torture, on gun control, on Black Lives Matter and police brutality — they all line up pretty closely with Trump’s. These are their values, and Trump represents them.
In the ’40s and ’50s, it’s all about anti-communism. But once the civil rights revolution takes hold, it becomes about defending the stability of the traditional social order against all the cultural revolutions of the ’60s. But the really interesting moment for me is in the early ’90s when the Cold War comes to an end. You would think there would be a kind of resetting after the great enemy had been vanquished, but that’s not what happened.
Instead, we get the modern culture wars over sex and gender identity and all the rest. And then 9/11 happens and Islam becomes the new major threat. So it’s always shifting.

Trump Caller Hilariously Falls Apart On Simplest Of Questions From James O'Brien. This caller told James O'Brien that the four Congresswomen who Donald Trump criticized are trying to create a socialist country. But his point fell apart when he couldn't name them or say what socialism actually is!
