I do want conservatives on here

I've seen Calla actually admit some things are bad. He still shows up to defend the shit show sometimes though.

Calla is probably making pizza for the family. (y)
I wish. Probably gonna take a month off after this job concludes to travel to my son’s events and perfect the art of at home pizza making. Super excited to start the experimentation.
 
Nope, but I know it was a critical issue in deciding at least 1 POTUS election, because one candidate couldn't renounce even a ridiculous position like that.
It was court mandated during Trump’s 1st term.

I think 2 surgeries happened.
 
I posted a couple of months ago that once Trump took office and started running things again that many of our Trumper posters would quickly vanish. And while there are still some hanging around, I suspect that after another month or two of this entirely expected and predicted shitshow (by Trump critics) nearly all of them will be gone for a good while.
You simply don’t understand that we don’t have any desire to spend productive time in an echo chamber where 90% of all the comments are nothing more than you guys circle jerking each other with slight modifications of saying the same thing and somehow garnering self validation from that. Yep, trumps comments on the crash are bad. Acknowledging that seemingly would end any further participation I might have right?
 
I can think of a few “conservatives:”
  • Cford
  • Lawtig
  • Chileg
  • Krafty
I know there are more.

They just aren’t Trumplicans.
If by conservative you mean less liberal democrats then say the board’s chief snowflake then you would be right.

I always post more during campaigns and less during times like these where the next election or midterm is far off.

It’s funny. On this board, if the Republican loses, the sentiment here is “ha, all the Pubs ran away once they got beat! Bye bye trolls!”

But this new mentality is a new one lol. Trump kicks their ass again, conservatives like me laugh for a while and then generally move on with life and turn our attention to sports or other hobbies, and the narrative is “ha! The conservatives aren’t here because they can’t defend this shit!” Lol.
 
OP is a fool for seriously wanting conservatives on this board lol. They’re not interested in having a discussion. They just want to call you a snowflake or condescendingly remind you how much they don’t actually care about politics, even though they post in here regularly. Just look at the pathetic circle jerk exchange above this lol. They aren’t serious people.

Lol. What would you call it when the majority of comments are just repeats of some version of “Trump is evil, trump is the worst, trump is despicable, trump is ……..”. Not exactly riveting dialogue. So, 10 days in, has trump done a single positive thing that you approve of?

Yeah, ain’t no damn body with a lick of sense buying that bullshit that those dudes “ don’t care” lololol. They’re here every day like the rest of us. Nothing wrong with that- this shit is fun. I love it. I want more people posting here more often- all ideological bents welcome. But, yeah, go on and get on outta here with this “we’re too busy doing other things to post here even though one of us spammed another thread just this evening with Transgender Derangement Syndrome and the other one of us is busy trying to find a synonym for the word snowflake before we wear out those particular keys on the keyboard.”

Hard to debate when most of the comments are geared to how bad trump is vs actually talking about policy. I can’t do it from an iPad but someone should start a thread topic on “Good Moves By Trump”. Would highlight who the “serious” and objective posters are vs those that have terminal TDS. If you can’t identify a single positive action then you are just a board simp.

Won’t presume to speak for the others but I identify these days as a conservative (adjective) liberal (noun). I’d consider myself to maintain the classical bonafides of “government as small as possible to still be effective; strongest military in the world projecting strength and deterrence; preservation of individual freedom and liberties above all else; low taxes, broadening the tax base, and enforcing the tax code as written; harsh punishment of violent crime; right to own guns but also common sense gun safety laws and regulations; every able-bodied soul should work to earn a living and safety net programs are supposed to be temporary helping hands up, not permanent handouts; strong, secure borders while having a system of legal immigration that is efficient and humane; pro-democratic allies and anti-axis of evil (Russia, Iran, North Korea).” Those are my core classically conservative ideological principles.

Where I lean more liberal than many conservatives is in my belief that we should do more to expand social safety nets much further than we currently do. I’m especially talking education, healthcare, child care, and maternal care, and not just for the poor and destitute but also for the middle class family working hard but struggling to make ends meet.

You and I would probably agree philosophically and ideologically on many things and reasonably disagree on others or on how to best accomplish our ideological objectives.

Can’t think of a more appropriate term for someone who uses the ignore feature. The ultimate close your eyes, hold your breath, and cover your ears move.

On that we agree. I could never bring myself to ignore anyone on a message board, just on principle.
 
Working = gerrymandering

When it should mean having policies that people actually support. Well other than we will do away with taxes.
No. The Persistence and others are doing a great job registering new Republican voters in Penn and NJ. Cali may get red pilled.
 
Trump kicks their ass again
This is your second post about Trump kicking ass. I am not sure if this is a sarcastic trolling thing, or if you really think his victory falls into the "kick ass" category. But on the off chance you don't realize how close the election was as a historical matter, I present you two columns below. First column are the elections that were bigger kick asses than 2024 and the second column are the ones that were closer than 2024 (starting in 1900)

More Kick Ass
1900 Teddy R
1904 Teddy R
1908 Taft
1912 Wilson
1920 Harding
1924 Coolidge
1928 Hoover
1932 FDR
1936 FDR
1940 FDR
1944 FDR
1948 Truman
1952 Ike
1956 Ike
1964 LBJ
1968 Nixon
1972 Nixon
1980 Reagan
1984 Reagan
1988 GHW Bush
1992 Clinton
1996 Clinton
2008 Obama
2012 Obama
2020 Biden (This one is close, as Trump got slightly more electoral votes, but Biden got way more popular votes)

Less Kick Ass
1916 Wilson
1960 JFK
1976 Carter
2000 GW Bush
2004 GW Bush
2016 Trump

In other words, this was the seventh closest election out of the past 32 elections. It was a historically close election. A 1.5% delta in the popular vote almost never happens. If you want to see some ass kicking, go look at Nixon or Reagan or FDR.

It's laughable to me to think that anyone can find "policy" in a Trump administration. What, pray tell, are the policy moves that you've seen? I see a lot of histrionics and tweet storms but I don't see much in the way of policy.
 
Still here. Just not as much to talk about now that the election is over. Have always said that win or lose, politics doesn’t dictate my daily mood much and it shouldn’t yours either.

I have been intentional about not gloating too much about the ass kicking Trump laid on Harris because I know I am in a big minority here as a Trump voter.

I remain hopeful that the result of the election will lead to some careful introspection from Democrats about why they lost every single swing state and lost ground with every single demographic. But do I think most on this board are willing to have that conversation? No. I think most of you just want to bitch about Trump every day for 4 more years.
Not as much to talk about?

Your godking has totally botched a number of things in his first couple weeks. We’re staring down the barrel of trade wars and potentially military wars with out allies (which, I might add, were not part of his platform, so you’ve got nothing to gloat about, since you didn’t see this coming).

And he’s shown himself, as usual, to be an

You’ve got the entire federal workforce as well as every government contractor in edge,

you do realize that HY2012 is impervious to facts, right?

There’s more to it than margin of victory. Trump won the popular vote narrowly but who really cares about the popular vote other than liberals who try to bemoan our electoral college. He won every single state that was up for grabs heading into the election and made gains in quite literally almost every single demographic. And he won the election in the face of tons of unique factors - everything from having the DOJ weaponized against him to having the Dems pull an undemocratic bait & switch halfway through the campaign when Biden’s dementia was exposed.

If you want to say it is wasn’t a blowout by margin of victory that’s fine. But Trump still kicked Harris’ ass. As an analogy, NC state hasn’t blown UNC football out by huge margins many times lately (they did once), but I would still say we’ve been getting our ass kicked by them because they’ve consistently beat us in a high stakes game that we all hate losing so much.
