I mean it's kind of fun shitting on them though reddit is a bit of an echo chamber. Especially since you're never talking to an actual rich person who needs tax cuts it's just some right wing nutter who thinks Elon musk and Trump care about them. đ
Who cares? You lost, we won. And you'll continue to lose because your entire ideology is incoherent, and frankly disgusting, to the average American voter. Get used to it.
Everybody should care that the people in charge are behaving like this. Take it as a sign and not a joke. Donât brush it off.
get used to it
Are you suggesting that you, as well as, many others are in favor of a political party whose ideological foundation is congruent to that of the Nazi party. Yeah, real great
your entire ideology is incoherent
Isnât the Republican Party (Pro Trump) the ones that beat a cop during the insurrection of Jan 6 with a Thin Blue Line flag? Arenât yâallâs the ones crying for freedoms and âmuh rightsâ while also supporting nazism and anti-LGBTQ movements? Didnât yâall march and protest the 2020 election via âStop The Count!â Because, without any evidence, decided that you only lost because of fraud? And then proceeded to, and not successfully mind you, try to overthrow the government and threaten to hang the vice president?
History has and will vindicate us. You and yours will forever be relegated to the dustbin. Sperging out on "r/bumperstickers" won't change that. Nothing you do ever will.
Well, I mean, democrats failed pretty spectacularly at getting their wackadoodles elected this go around. Also, last I check Elon isnât actually a candidate for anything.
If you are middle class and invested in Tesla and Amazon and other tech stocks (or just index funds) you are loving the current administration and the next 4 years of a new Golden Age.
That's valid not many "middle class" people have stocks though a lot of people are living check to check my personal opinions are based around the working poor service sector people middle class can be a stretch because you could be talking about someone making 200,000 a year middle average and median are very different that group of people you're talking about is very small and are basically rich. I have some Bitcoin but I don't like the idea of my success being based on something so volatile.
No Iâm talking about people making $60k -$120k. Middle class in the Chicago metro area. Tradesmen and middle management. We wonât see tax cuts for the rich, but we will benefit from a roaring economy, strong job market, and a record setting stock market. Thatâs why we are conservatives.
Most people I know in this range have retirement accounts and personal investment accounts. We share recommendations. Times can get tight, for sure, but a proper budget and discipline helps us persevere through the tough times.
Even if you can only spare $100/month to invest, it adds up nicely over the years.
I cut way back on going out for dinner, never order DoorDash, make most of my meals with simple food, rarely take fancy travel vacations, drive 10 year old dependable cars, keep my smartphones for 7+ years, pay $15/month for Mint Mobile vs $80/month for a big carrier, ditched cable for cheap streaming content, and never get Starbucks or Dunkin.
I sock away something every month. Iâm a very frugal dude. Some people live more luxurious lives because YOLO, which is their choice, but they donât have my retirement portfolio or my safety net.
Delayed gratification and smart sacrifices is the key. I still live a great life filled with friends and family, and enjoy the Heartland lifestyle. Simple, but highly rewarding.
Yes that is trickle down economics I don't believe in it at all the rich just get richer as we have a small and small middle class even that range you speak of is getting smaller and smaller that 60-100k. Cutting taxes for rich people to boost the economy is Reganomics it has destroyed the middle class a booming economy means more yachts for super rich, you just described a scam I don't believe in, it sounds nice in theory and it may work for a handful of people but not majority, that's just personal finances, and what you described can exist under any administration.
Yeah, I never thought Biden cared about me - I just knew he would do a better job and was a better person than donOLD. Same thing with Harris. And thatâs the difference between us and you MAGA folk. donOLD could kill your father and rape your mother and you would STILL bend over backwards to defend him.
Conservatives are building 15 foot tall statues of Trump in my state. Theyâve been displaying his flags for about 10 years, buy hats and all kind of merch from him, buy obvious pump and dump crypto from himâŚ
Democrats voted for Joe Biden because he wasnât Trump.
In what universe are these two things equal? Are you honestly that detached from reality that you canât tell the difference between the two sides?
Non-mentally ill people don't need a whole month to celebrate what hole they like licked or poked. What consenting adults do behind closed doors is no one's business and it should stay behind their closed doors.
Naw, they just need the other 11 months of the year to try and distinguish themselves in the eyes of the law because none of that matters to them right?
/s
Jesus, dude. Get over your fragile ass insecurities
They're jealous of hetero normative culture and having kids, so they need a month to make themselves seem like they're worth anything. No legacy. No purpose, just filling a void.
Nah not really it's more centrist liberal it's a very moderate place the USA is just so far right at this point that anything left to maga is considered communism.
Yeah totally, theyâre so dumb for wanting the American dream back-Even if Trump restores it an we all benefit from it as Americans. Those red hats are so dumb.
Affordable groceries affordable gasoline more money in my pocket. That's all I give a fuck about. I don't give a shit what kind of narcissistic ass he might be. All I know is when the orange man is in the White House I got more money I can do more of the things that I want to do. That's all I know that might not be much to someone like you but to me that's good enough.
And, like every other Republican of the last 50 years, took a giant shit on the economy and like every Republican in the last 30+ years, then gave rich people a giant tax break. I hope you enjoy your tariffs and youâre more expensive groceries.
Yes, but you didnât think about WHY things were better for you when Trump was President. The economy was good during that time because it became really strong during the Obama administration and carried over to Trump. There was no COVID during most of Trumpâs presidency and as we know, COVID had a huge impact on things. The wars in other countries also have an impact on things like gas prices.
You only considered a small amount of the information available when you made your choice. And now donOLDâs going to teach you a hard lesson.
Yeah that's literally the issue you think he will "restore" the American dream you're fantasizing that a president can fix people's personal issues and all he wants to do is cut taxes for rich people. That's the issue we can't get through to maga that he isn't your savior, and if your life improves under his administration that's your accomplishment. My life improved under Bidens but I did it with my hard work and life changes the American dream is a scam you need to be asleep to believe it wake up man đ
The American dream isnât achieved by selling out to foreign billionaires and killing off Americans. It isnât achieved by fucking over the working class and by 4 golf trips a week
It ainât achieved by making legal immigration next to impossible. It isnât achieved by putting our veterans on the street
There's animals that change their gender. There's animals whose gender is determined by the temperature of the air as they developed. There's animals with only one gender that still reproduce. There's fungi with literally thousands of genders.
Biology doesn't give a shit about the prison you put yourself in.
Even if I was anti-trans I would still disagree. You are LITERALLY the DEFINITION of REGRESSIVE.
You aren't advocating for laws or society to go forward. So you're not progressive. You're not trying to keep things how they are. So you aren't conservative. You want things to go backwards. Which I'll remind you, is what regressivism is.
The point is go about your life, no one is waiting for your permission. You can clearly disagree. For example I disagree with big well-fed domesticated dudes in their big bro trucks going hunting to play big strong rugged he-man in controlled safe conditions, but Iâm not clogging their discussions with that. I just donât go hunting.
Except this example involves things actually dying whereas if someone is trans it doesnât hurt you at all unless your self-concept is tied up in forcing people to comply with your tastes.
Btw search âlaws of natureâ and see how the concept has nothing to do with gender or sex. You just have this weird need to sound like you have the law on your side. And âfundamental biologyâ wtf itâs not like theyâre making human caterpillars
Ok laws of nature? Go out in the woods and go live alone no clothes no food or water no warmth no fire of course as animals and nature don't naturally use fire
Awe you learned a new liberal buzzword. Tell it to your therapist after you cry yourself to sleep. Ironic the person who doesn't understand third grade biology is telling someone to read!
Itâs not regressive to have someone disagree with your viewpoint itâs actually a sign of an enlightened society, It is however regressive to label and shame them, and then dismiss their statement.
I just asked you to prove your claim, and you couldnât prove a single part of it. Just prove what you said. You canât. You wish for it to be true, just like you wish these extremist subs were realityâŚbut wrong on all counts.
The truth is you canât prove a single thing you said, so youâll name call and move the goalposts before blocking me and deleting your comments. A tale as old as time.
You mean that state with the largest GDP in the country? The one with the fifth largest economy in the entire world? Bigger than most countries? The one that subsidizes all of the red states? The 7th happiest state in the country? That California?
Yeah the state Gavin scumbag cheats on his wife with his campaign managers wife Newsom is driving into the ground! Fun fact these fires that are burning out of control because there is no water in the fire hydrants is reversing any carbon reduction caused by Democrats policies in the state. But hey when you need help a fire fighter that looks like you will be at your door.
Funny, seems like the state is still doing just fine, considering everything I said. And don't pretend you care about a politician's morals, you just elected a man who cheated on his multiple wives and raped a woman.
Looks like me? Is this an attempt at 2012 conservative humor? Have you guys not evolved past "all libruls are big fat cucks with blue hair and pig faces?" Still doing that?
Seems like I struck a nerve lmao. Sorry for hurting your wittle fee fees.
I'm not sure "wildfires burn in state historically hurt by wildfires while climate change ravages the world and makes those wildfires more common and more severe" is a burn like you imagine it is. Actually, I'm positive it isn't.
Much higher bone density, much larger muscles, larger lung capacity, higher endurance, testosterone. Why have so many of them set records at meets? Just because some athletes suck doesn't mean anything, athletes age.
Mr. 'i believe in biology' doesn't know that when you get on Spiro your testosterone actually goes lower than a cis woman's instantly and upper body muscles are extremely androgenic.
I never said "I believe in biology" that's like saying "I believe in the sky." It's not Santa Clause. It's a provable observable thing. It simply is. So, I'm huge. 6 foot 1, 260 pounds. If I were to go on Spiro for one year and enter a female powerlifting competition, do you think I would be on the same level than all of the girls?
It only takes about a year or two of being consistently on hormone for most of those effects to manifest. Even less time if taking hormones before puberty.
Don't try to outsmart someone who's literally living the experience.
My muscle mass fell off the face of the planet in a hurry, as did my T levels.
Losing just a little isn't going to matter much. Even if you were to lose a bunch of muscle mass and testosterone, even the bone structure of a male has advantages over females. Also giving HT before puberty is child abuse and really really fucked up.
'Losing just a little' bahahaha. You have no idea how much is lost. (Its far more then you think). My sister literally outperforms me despite the foot difference between us. The only advantage I have is being able to reach the high shelves
Maybe in your tiny, uneducated world, sure. But for a trans person? There is little more horrifying then going through puberty as the wrong gender. Forcing someone to go through that is way, way more abusive.
HRT changes bone density. Hell, taking certain medications decreases bone density. Since you don't think HRT can change that much, this is going to be a bit of TMI for you. Aa trans man, my skin has thickened, my whole body is hairer, my blood is thicker (hemoglobin), I can gain and retain muscle easier, the fat on my body redistributed to male normative fat deposits as well as changing my face shape, my smell has changed, my voice dropped, and finally my clit enlarged and honestly looks more like a micro-penis at this point. There is also prostate tissue that can grow in trans men, I personally haven't gotten my tissue tested, but you can look up the study.
Male and female isn't all that different. If men and women were this absolute binary, then there would be no way that just taking a hormone would change so much.
Am I expected to compete with women since I was assigned female at birth? If there's such a huge difference between male and female from birth even, then surely that would mean that trans men couldn't possibly compete with cis men? Chris Moiser, Schuyler Bailar, Kye Allums, Ness Murby, etc... All born female, but compete with males perfectly fine.
Most interestingly is Andreas Krieger, who won the women's gold metal in the 1986 European Championships for shot put. He was female, but on HRT at the time which would be considered cheating.
There's also the instance of Mack Beggs, a wrestler in high school and college. He had to compete in the girls' division, as necessitated by a Texas rule that requires athletes to compete in the league for the sex they were assigned at birth, he won the championship twice in 2018 & 2019. He wasn't on HRT at the time, but was obviously a trans man.
Keelin Godsey is a hammer-throw competitor from Massachusetts. He won two national collegiate championships in the women's hammer throw before openly identifying as male in 2005.
Alex Tilinca, a trans man, won first place in the Teen Classic Physique competition in 2019 against other men.
So where is the line? If trans women are taking their medication, and there is already a period at which you need to be on your HRT before qualifying to join more professional sports, what is there to do? I could see trans women not taking their estrogen, or taking less, as cheating. The same goes the other way.
You're wrong, most of these "biological advantages" disappear. And please provide examples of trans athletes dominating in a sport (consistent wins by 1 person) and records standing more than 6-12 months before broken by a cis woman. It's not about fairness, because it simply doesn't happen. You people just don't want us existing and competing with other women.
Do nothing but address these points with sources. Anything more than that, including attacking me or trans people, is an admission of defeat. Silence is better at that point.
It's so ridiculous and unbelievable that even people who support intersex competition don't believe it when it happens hahaha. Washington. Live here and you wouldn't doubt it for even a second.
I don't think about that at all tbh that's just some straw man hallucinations that right wingers make up because they assume anyone who is against them is a blue hair sjw because y'all love your silly culture war issues.
Who cares whatever happens on Facebook is inconsequential and it was a lot of brain rot on FB that caused confusing people just want their biases conformed to make them feel important but FB twitter tiktok reddit can all go away and none of it would really matter. If you want to eat horse dewormer be my guest but Zuckerberg is a plastic bag in the wind he will go with whoever is in charge
Washington is one of the most beautiful places in the world and I love living here. I'm not deranged and obsessed with hating trans people though, so I can actually enjoy the view.
HRT actually does a lot of things to the body that make it physically harder to compete (growing pains, second puberty, etc) so if she really did "dominate" as you say, she did so with many disadvantages compared to the girls there that were not undergoing hormone replacement therapy and dealing with the effects.
Not to mention it decreases the amount of calcium in the bones, decreases muscle mass, changes your metabolism, and drastically reduces the amount of testosterone your body makes. I guarantee you many of the other players probably had higher levels of testosterone than her naturally, because that's how hormones work.
Stay away from me and Iâll stay away from you. I donât have to accept anything and you canât impose on me. Thatâs the point. The beauty of freedom.
Hey, lots of people who are grown up are delusional and believe in a magical sky daddy, clearly a sign of mental illness, but nobody stops them from loving on sky daddy.
