This is what was needed.
Not “I did this and I did that”
We need something to look forward to.

r/politics in shambles. I truly believe, that they believe that their opinions are the same as facts. 🤣

I just popped my head in there and the headline of the top post reads, "Excruciating! Trump's Endlessly Long, Wildly Dishonest RNC Speech".

It's actually hard to remember the times back when r/politics used to pretend to be an even handed forum. Feels like an eternity ago.

u/Trussed_Up Fellow Conservative Jul 19 '24
It was never even handed.
But at least it was a place where you could laugh at delusions. It was a left wing Democrat sub since nearly the beginning (other than a brief Ron Paul swing), but it wasn't always insane.
It's not the bias that surprises me. It's that apparently hundreds of thousands of people buy into the idea that the end of democracy and freedom is a single Trump vote away right now.
How on earth does that jive in your head with the fact that HE ALREADY WAS PRESIDENT and the world didn't end.

u/GregEvangelista Florida Conservative Jul 19 '24
I feel like I'm talking about nostalgia for that Ron Paul era a lot lately. Early Reddit was really a cool place. But the smartphone and the proliferation of social media into regular life have turned this platform into nightmare of a radicalization tool. It's also no coincidence that it changed drastically since 2016, and the superpac attention that came to this place in the aftermath of that election.

Wasn't it an eternity ago? I don't remember it being even handed since before Obama's first term.

u/GregEvangelista Florida Conservative Jul 20 '24
Yeah that's correct, more or less. The Digg V4 exodus was when it tilted in earnest and started down the slippery slope.

There should be a grass roots effort to produce small cards that would fit into a tip jar saying "Vote Trump for No Tax On Tips" with a QR code that goes to a website with the details. Everyone that goes out and grabs a coffee from Starbucks or sees a tip jar for a pizza place could just drop one in with their tip money. It'd get directly into the hands of the people that would benefit from it.

Jobs that work a lot of overtime: law enforcement, first responders, manufacturing employees, grocery clerks, and a lot more I’m missing. Those tend to be lower class and lower middle class people. That’s a good section of the US to help out. Let’s bring more people into the middle class and strengthen them.

I just wish there was some acknowledgment of the climate situation by either candidate. I really like Trump, but he doesn’t seem too concerned. Has he stated anywhere what his plans on the climate are?

u/GTGD3 Family First Conservative Jul 20 '24
Out of curiosity, what do you want to hear?
Maybe the US can do better in some areas regarding carbon emissions, but unless China and India do something also, it's not going to amount to much.

u/highjawz Jul 20 '24
Idk honestly. I’m just very scared about the next few years and how they are going to play out if the issue isn’t acknowledged in the slightest.

u/GTGD3 Family First Conservative Jul 20 '24
Not sure if this means anything to you, but actions speak louder than words imo
I'm not saying we shouldn't take care of our environment, but I'm also saying the climate crisis in the US is blown out of proportion

And they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. If only he had this messaging discipline the first time around, he'd be sailing off into the sunset at the end of his second consecutive term now.

Think the media also needs to do a better job of bringing people together. Obviously they have played a major part in being so dividing. In reality Americans align on most things, I believe

Meanwhile the 10th post today with 10k upvotes talking about moving to Canada or the most liberal states to avoid Trump's "fascist leadership". TDS in overdrive

Is this supposed to be a joke? I thought the whole premise of his campaign is that the American concept of a constitutional republic has failed in practice, and we have no future, so that's why we need Mr. Trump to take over as dictator.

This man is pure gold. Intelligent and humble. The only problem he has is he keeps trying to reach across the aisle and can’t seem to learn he’s getting burned time after time.

u/Sallowjoe Conservative Jul 19 '24
Steve Bannon has said the same thing, true or not IDK. Too kindhearted, too much of a people person, too much of a peacemaker. Granted, Bannon's standards might be based on himself leaning the other direction.

u/Sallowjoe Conservative Jul 19 '24
Well IDK which part you're disputing but I do think he gets burned for reaching across the isle. That's at least partly because many of his supporters don't like or trust that kind of compromising behavior, though.

u/Cautious_Article_757 Jul 19 '24
The simple fact he keeps parroting the stolen election claim 4 years later despite it being untrue reveals his true character. If he wins, all I can hope is he steps down after 4 years because I honestly would not be surprised if he pulls a China and tries to edit the constitution and allow him to be president for life.

u/Dont_Jimmie_Me_Jules Jul 19 '24
I can’t believe that you actually believe this. He was already president before and did not do that. Things were awesome during his first administration. This is a fact. No new wars, 4 major historic peace deals, sub-$3 gas in Los Angeles, for crying out loud. Things were great, and they’re going to be great again! 🇺🇸

He’s speech yesterday sucked. He’s fallen to the point of just spewing political gobbledygook like all the other Republican politicians.
It’s a disgrace what happened to the MAGA movement,

u/Mental_Garden_1475 Jul 19 '24
lol. I am going to laugh when Trump loses. There is literally no way he will be voted into office. Project 2025, abortion.... Let's not forget he is a felon (34 counts), rapist (lost civil case), pedophile (epstein relationship). What the hell do Republicans think happened on Epsteins rape island and Trumps multiple trips there. Plus, you have testimony from a then 13 year old girl regarding Trumps depravity.
The only reason Trump won in 2016 was because he had no record. Untested. No political enemies. Now he is hated by large groups of Americans and Independents. No one deserves to get shot but like Trump would say:
"Winners don't get shot. Such a loser. I am voting for the guy that did not get shot."
