Do you actually think anybody is going to read your bullshit dude. People tune out halfway through the second sentence.
You have no ability to influence people at all. Yet you wonder why nobody believes you successfully run a large business.

"Adam Smith" trying to convince Trumptards they aren't doing bad, but if they feel bad, it is Biden's fault, not their fault nor Trump's:

President Donald Trump freed former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich in February 2020 after he had served eight years of a 14-year sentence, including for trying to sell an appointment to Barack Obama’s old U.S. Senate seat for campaign cash. Leaders of both parties in Illinois sharply criticized Trump's commutation.
Speaking outside the courthouse in a gray suit that matched his hair, which went gray behind bars because inmates are prohibited from using hair dyes, Blagojevich also declared his loyalty to the former Republican president.
“I’m a Trumpocrat,” said the one-time contestant on Trump’s reality TV show, “Celebrity Apprentice.” Because Trump spared him from several more years at his Colorado federal prison, Blagojevich added: “I am grateful to him forever.”
The Illinois House in January 2009 voted 114-1 to impeach Blagojevich, and the state Senate voted unanimously to remove him, making him the first Illinois governor in history to be removed by lawmakers.
Monday's lawsuit argues the way legislators went about impeaching and ousting him was unconstitutional.

Republicans are increasingly ready for violence
A new nationwide public opinion survey shows just how deeply Republican voters now accept political violence as a legitimate option. Business Insider offers these details:
Less than a year after a pro-Trump mob stormed the US Capitol, nearly half of Republican voters (47%) say that "a time will come when patriotic Americans have to take the law into their own hands," per a new nationwide survey by George Washington University's School of Media and Public Affairs.
This is not a new finding. Previous public opinion polls and other research from PRRI, AEI and other organizations have come to similar conclusions.
These findings about Republicans and political violence are consistent with the warnings of many leading mental health experts, who have said since Donald Trump first emerged as a presidential candidate that he and his movement represent a dire threat to American democracy. This is true both because of Trump's repeated encouragement of violence and because of his proven ability to sway members of the public to share his worldview.
Dr. Justin Frank described Trump's unusual "ability to tap into people's fears and hatred," and suggesting that his followers "are actually scarier than he is":
Trump unites his supporters in a shared idea of opposition to some other groups or individuals they revile. It doesn't even matter whether they are Black or Muslim or immigrants or migrants from Latin and South America, or Democrats, for that matter.
Right-wing political violence and other antisocial and destructive behavior are gradually becoming normalized across American society. The events of Jan. 6 were a logical next step. As law enforcement and other terrorism experts have repeatedly warned, that was not the end of a wave of right-wing violence in America but just another stage in a centuries-long journey. The next step could well be a sustained right-wing insurgency against multiracial democracy.
Republicans generally oppose taking steps to address the global climate crisis, and in fact have consistently made the crisis worse. During Trump's presidency, Republicans engaged in acts of democide through their willfully incompetent response to the COVID-19 pandemic, choices that have now killed more than 600,000 people in the United States.
The Republican response to gun violence (including mass shootings), the health care crisis, education, wealth and income inequality, and social injustice more generally have caused the deaths of millions of Americans since the 1960s. It is no exaggeration to claim that today's Republican Party — and the larger "conservative" movement more generally — is sociopathic and dangerous.

Quote:Those are not 'bread and butter' issues to real Americans, but rather the red meat that Republican politicians are forever throwing out as bait for a certain kind of witless voters I know as stupid and crazy. The people who worry about losing their jobs to illegal immigrants are the kind of people who would inevitably vote for Trump, no matter what Trump actually accomplishes. For those dimwit worriers, Trump didn't do the one truly effective thing he could do to stop illegals, which was to arrest American citizens who hire illegal aliens, because that would have alienated wealthy people. If Biden did arrest Americans who hired illegal aliens, he would not win even one voter away from Trump, but he sure as hell would drive away Democrats from voting in 2022 and 2024.

Shut up, bitch.
Leftist BLM and Antifa thugs have been doing this across the country for over a year and you don't bat an eye.
The only time I get violent is when they force a vaccine on me. And that goes just as much for any Republican doing it as any Democrat.

Quote:(Just so you don't misunderstand, 1kiki, America is controlled by the top 1% richest Americans, unless Congress does something to thwart the 1%. The Republicans do NOT want the 1% placed under control and so long as there are 34 Republican Senators the 1% can't be controlled. As for Presidents, they can't stop the 1% from being the actual leaders of America, doing whatever pleases themselves, but Congress can stop the 1% by simply taxing them and giving the IRS sufficient money to enforce the tax laws. Congress can also stop the 1% by giving the Court System sufficient money so that cases involving the top 1% get decided within months rather than years or decades. Delays always work for the advantage of the wealthy. But as long as there are 34 Republican Senators, the IRS will not be collecting all the taxes the 1% richest owe and court cases involving the 1% will not be decided quickly. This is how the rich want America to run and this is how it continues to run.)

I have an article about Trumptards voting for Trump because they don't feel respected by the Libtards. The Trumptards and their Trumpy Senators will do everything in their power to attack the Libtards, but while they are on the many year long attack, very little else will get accomplished in Congress:
The creative class was supposed to foster progressive values and economic growth. Instead we got resentment, alienation, and endless political dysfunction.
How could people with high-end powerboats possibly think of themselves as the downtrodden? The truth is, they are not totally crazy. The class structure of Western society has gotten scrambled over the past few decades. It used to be straightforward: You had the rich, who joined country clubs and voted Republican; the working class, who toiled in the factories and voted Democratic; and, in between, the mass suburban middle class. We had a clear idea of what class conflict, when it came, would look like—members of the working classes would align with progressive intellectuals to take on the capitalist elite.
But somehow when the class conflict came, in 2015 and 2016, it didn’t look anything like that. Suddenly, conservative parties across the West—the former champions of the landed aristocracy—portrayed themselves as the warriors for the working class. And left-wing parties—once vehicles for proletarian revolt—were attacked as captives of the super-educated urban elite. These days, your education level and political values are as important in defining your class status as your income is. Because of this, the U.S. has polarized into two separate class hierarchies—one red and one blue. Classes struggle not only up and down, against the richer and poorer groups on their own ladder, but against their partisan opposite across the ideological divide.
As creative-class people enter left-leaning parties, working-class people tend to leave. Around 1990, nearly a third of Labour members of the British Parliament were from working-class backgrounds; from 2010 to 2015, the proportion wasn’t even one in 10. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won the 50 most-educated counties in America by an average of 26 points—while losing the 50 least-educated counties by an average of 31 points.
These partisan differences overlay economic differences. In 2020, Joe Biden won just 500 or so counties—but together they account for 71 percent of American economic activity, according to the Brookings Institution. Donald Trump won more than 2,500 counties that together generate only 29 percent of that activity. An analysis by Brookings and The Wall Street Journal found that just 13 years ago, Democratic and Republican areas were at near parity on prosperity and income measures. Now they are divergent and getting more so. If Republicans and Democrats talk as though they are living in different realities, it’s because they are.
In The Great Class Shift, Thibault Muzergues argues that the creative class has disrupted politics across the Western world. In na
