Oddbean new post about login | logout I don't admire Republicans, and pretending like i do because of one instance where I'm calling out some bs you're spewing is the real problem with this country. Truth is truth regardless of if you like the person or group or fact.
What bs am I spewing?
You're saying that both sides hate America. While I think Republican policies are dog shit, they don't hate america.
Okay if that’s true, then the left doesn’t hate America either. I’ve never seen any leftist hate america, they love america.
How when many on the left say this country was founded on racism and that it will never get past that(kendi) . They don't fly the flag, many outright say they hate America, they claim private property/gun rights should be abolished (considering these are enshrined in our founding documents, this is hatred of the Us).
I know a lot of leftists who fly the American flag. I know a lot of leftists who own guns. I know a lot of republicans who hate america. It seems you only hate one side, and anecdotally hate the other. It’s fun to see you just slowly come out as a republican the whole thread. Republicans would NEVER take away our rights, it’s just the dirty leftists. Right? Both want to take rights away. It’s just different rights.
You continue insinuating I'm a republican through this thread is getting you now where, especially when you ditch your previous talking points as soon as i brought up that I am married to a black woman. And funny enough, I also think gays should get married and drugs should be legal! Almost like in your eyes I couldn't be a republican WITHOUT the opposite being true. Again, you're just using anecdotes to back up your statements, not facts. You do know this is the show me state, right? The statistics are clear, democrats are anti-gun and against states rights, leftists are against private property and are themselves racist (go read kendi if you don't believe me). These are facts that can be looked up, not "I know a guy". I litterally know a native American who supports Trump but that doesn't mean shit about demographics
While anecdotes are subjective, it’s important to acknowledge historical context. The Democratic Party has a documented history of supporting slavery, and despite shifts over time, certain tactics seem consistent. Labeling others as racist while introducing divisive policies that subtly reintroduce segregation is a troubling pattern. This isn’t conjecture; it’s observable in modern policy decisions and rhetoric. https://image.nostr.build/140d718f8b029044c76f006ea494f2d3231d8fd9140283c7ceef5ea694845d8d.jpg
The parties switched, you learn that in elementary school.
The “parties switched” narrative is pure propaganda and has been debunked time and again. If you seriously believe what’s being taught in schools, it’s time to dig deeper. There was never a historical reversal. I could lay out every chronological and factual detail, but that would take more than an hour to break down. From day one, Democrats have been the party of big government and massive spending, while Republicans have always championed limited government and the core principles of the U.S. Constitution. The philosophical lines have never shifted—except in the minds of those pushing the Democratic agenda.
