Hardkill

I see....

So, then how will collecting this kind of data be beneficial or helpful for anybody?

Okay, but how do these polls convince enough people to pass these policies?

Very heartbreaking....

You must be out of the loop. Trump would still lose the presidential election according to most polls. His rallies keep getting smaller and smaller. CPAC straws polls keep getting significantly smaller and smaller. Trump is getting to be a tiring shit show. Ron DeSantis has certainly possible quite a serious threat for the country. However, I don't think that he has ever had that broad once in a generation legendary appeal like Ronald Reagan or Obama in 2008 had.

Well, then like we're saying, if he comes back and makes a lot of trouble on Twitter again, then he'll be asking for a ban and perhaps even more legal trouble. Also, I am not sure if his return to twitter would help him with campaigning for another presidential run. I think Trump has really lost so much steam from the voters because of both how increasingly tired many of his current and former supporters have gotten with him. Also, he very likely will still never get back on the other big-tech platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or make any more posts on Google. Plus, his Truth Social platform has been failing hard.

But twitter is not a public square. If nothing about this problem gets done then all of these social media platforms will have so much blood on their hands and there will be a day of reckoning.

I thought that he was definitely a libertarian. He has never liked any social spending programs that come from the government and has always spoke about how there is "too much government regulation" and that the government really needs to get out of the way as much as possible. That's why I thought he moved out of California to Texas.

Of course it's not illegal to be MAGA just like it's not illegal to join a hate-group (unless I am wrong about that). I also don't believe that most of them are overt racists or rioters. However, I think that most MAGA and conservatives are covert with their racism, violence, hatred, racism, sexism, homophobia, hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty. Like you said, about 50% of Americans are stuck in the right-wing echo chambers and are getting increasingly desperate and shameless with their tactics because of how scared they over how much more socially liberal this country has gotten, their anger over not being able to repeal Obama's additional government programs that have been made permanent and irreversible, and their paranoia of socialism/communism.

There are only a very few right-wing talking points that exist these days just like there are very few moderate republicans that exist today. Almost all of the reasonable right-wingers like John McCain, Collins, and Romney are gone. I am actually getting worried about that even Romney and Collins have been constantly pressured by the GOP to shift more and more to the right like the rest of party, if not one day get replaced by other MAGA freaks one of these days. Until the Conservatives and Republicans move much more back to the center their devilish rhetoric will continue to become a profound liability to the entire fabric of our society.

Well, I don't think it would hurt anyone Twitter if they banned all right-wingers from their platforms. The right wingers must be stopped at all costs.

He may have not be a revolutionist in the traditional sense but look at how much he and the 89th Congress back then got done. It was on the level of FDR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Society https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/89th_United_States_Congress

So, then how explain how and why the civil rights movements succeed with ending Jim Crow laws in the US and why the massive amounts of new beneficial social programs got passed during Lyndon B. Johnson's era?

I see your point. I get that all of the marketing for picking up women comes off as misogynistic, but I now feel bad for Owen after all of the hard work he did for all of his media content.

Bonnes nouvelles! French President Macron just won re-election in France, which of course is great for the country because he was able stave off a looming take over of the country from the French right wing authoritarianism. He also became the first French president in 20 years to ever win re-election. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/04/24/world/french-election-runoff-results

Yeah, he seemed cooler with his older style. Well, if not a revolution then why aren’t people desperate enough to make fundamental change like what the Square Deal, New Freedom, New Deal, Fair Deal, or Great Society programs did instead of just resenting the corruption of politicians?

He’s a genuine hero, but I think that it is time for him to surrender for the greater good of his country before it becomes a never ending war of attrition.

Okay, so then why do most people in 1st world countries complain about politicians not doing enough for them instead of joining a real revolution to upend the entire government and the entire political system?

He physically looks like he’s getting crazier every year. Though I do wish we had some kind of revolution. I’d like to think that most people these days want it to given how sick and tired most people in 1st world countries are getting sick and tired of status quo of government and politics overall.

Please tell me that you’re joking.

This worried me at first, but I really don’t think that he would dare to really make this into a very unmoderated platform because of how much of a legal liability that will become, especially after what happens with the January 6th capitol riot incident. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBeEjohoLiU&t=332s Also, it looks like Trump doesn’t even want to return to twitter anymore.

It was getting dangerously close at first. As a matter of fact, a lot of Macron supporters are not seeing this as a victory to celebrate because of how much closer Le Pen got this time compared to her previous attempts. Do you think that there will be a day when all of these right-wing echo-chambers will no longer be able to brainwash the great majority of people in all of the 1st world countries just like how religion has for over several decades continually declined in its power to indoctrinate toxic archaic religious ideologies in most 1st world individuals in the world?

In a lot ways that’s true. However, like you also said before the mainstream media greatly contributed to the fall of Trump because they did their due diligence of showing the whole country the profound level of devilry that Trump and all of his supporters did.

Ah, I see. So, they don’t have that much control over politicians because there are too many corporate donors and lobbyists that each of your typical politicians are funded by and each of these megadonors and megalobbyists don’t have the exact same agendas, goals, and desires as each other. Instead, a lot of times each of them actually try to outcompete or counter each other’s proposals for that same politician. Actually, now that this is making more sense to me, there have been some wealthy donors like Bezos, Buffett, and Soros who have clearly announced their support for higher corporate taxes. Even the American oligarch, Bloomberg, who undoubtedly has been one of the largest corporate donors for many big name politicians in the country, thought that the Trump tax cuts was a terrible mistake for the country and has urged Washington to raise the corporate taxes and taxes for the wealth back to what they were before. Also, come to think of it, regarding social policies that are neither economic or business related, probably most corporate lobbyist have either: a) never really cared about them as long as they don’t interfere with their economic or business agenda or b) perhaps genuinely support some amount of liberal policies, but with some kind of “corporate compromise.” But during both the Clinton and Obama eras, the Democrats had pushed for and successfully some significant tax increases on corporations and rich. That’s why we had a balanced budget in the 90s and Obamacare had the individual mandate tax. Also, Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, even Manchin, and almost every other Democrat in Congress have been earnestly constantly trying as hard as they can to increase the taxes on the rich and corporations to some significant degree.
