But most Russian citizens are approving his invasion only because they are afraid of defying him or disapproving him.

That’s a good question. Why was that?

Building a Great Wall along the border won’t work because immigrants can easily dig underneath and can fly over or climb over. Plus, it’s way too expensive. Besides, Trump was only able to get about 2% of the “wall” done during his time as president. So, I don’t see how building this wall would work in reality. Also, I think that having a wall there would discourage immigrants with work visas from coming into the country. That’s in and of itself would exacerbate the labor shortage problem we’ve been having since Trump became president, thereby jeopardizing our economy.

What exactly is the political stance of a healthy conservative individual? Is it someone whose political views are that of a moderate conservative?

Bush 2 and McConnell no because of how far to the right they got or because of their war crimes? You know Reagan ironically passed a few relatively liberal laws such as some kind of gun control bill, immigration reform, and raised the taxes on the rich for COLA. He also didn't want to largely repeal laws that the New Deal Democrats passed during the FDR era and mid 1900s. Eisenhower in the 50s, Gerald Ford, and the Rockefeller Republican would actually definitely be considered as examples of healthy conservatives in US history.

Right, I understand what you're saying. Would you say that Reagan or Bush 1 and 2 were also healthy conservatives despite never having been moderate Republicans? Or did they represent more of the extreme and toxic kind of conservatism? What about Mitch McConnell or Kevin McCarthy? lol

Is what Leo said about having enough wealth and education in order to become stage Green inconsistent with what he's also said about how rich and successful people including those are highly educated as being stuck in stage Orange?

That is why more and more top universities and colleges have been dropping the requirements for SATs or ACTs. but why do a lot of gifted children generally score high on the SATs?

I think that most economists including those who are centrists and liberals have been skeptical about UBI being a good idea.

Well, you know how Republicans and conservatives talk about how we need to cut down on all entitlement programs because we don’t want people to have an entitlement mentality. Plus, they keep bringing up how the Dems’ reckless federal spending has cause too many Americans to not look for job and just stay home. Joe Manchin even said that parents who get child tax credits use it to buy recreational drugs. Also, don’t forget the racist dog whistle Reagan used to win over the angry white men, “She has 80 names, 30 addresses, 12 Social Security cards and is collecting veterans' benefits on four non-existing deceased husbands. And she's collecting Social Security on her cards. She's got Medicaid, getting food stamps, and she is collecting welfare under each of her names. Her tax-free cash income alone is over $150,000.”

Even though most young voters are liberal and therefore most of them vote for Democrats, people generally tend to become more conservative than the other way around as they grow older. So, does that mean that most young liberals in the US will become conservative and therefore end up voting for Republicans by the time they around 45 years or older?

Okay, so it’s not like young liberals as a collective aren’t going to really support policies or positions that are very conservative and reactionary such as tax cuts, deregulation, cutting down on government spending, denying the existence of climate change, not believing in the need for us to transition to renewable energy, limiting immigration, etc.

Over past several years, a sizable amount of Americans have become more and more angry about not being paid as much as they deserve and not being able to afford good housing, good education, and access to healthcare and necessary prescription drugs for themselves and their families. Yet, most Americans have not been seriously demanded the government to demand for more government policies that would greatly reduce the unjust economic inequality in our country. Here's a good article why most Americans haven't been angry enough to in this country even though: https://inequality.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/Pathways_Presidential_Anger.pdf Is there any hope that one day the liberals and progressives will ever be able to reverse all of this economic inequality in our country in any of our lifetimes?

Not the Hodgetwins!!!!

So, does that mean that you will probably vote more for politicians who have conservative idealogy and policies?

A lot of what you guys say are true, but then why did a lot black people, brown people, working class, and poor people say that felt let down by Obama not having fulfilled as many of the grand promises he made on dramatically changing their lives for the better? In fact, why do many people in America say they have gotten sick and tired of all politicians always letting them down?

But aren't most Americans suffering from this crisis of economic inequality? Also, if normies don't care about changing the system then why did Obama successfully sell people on the idea that he would bring major hope and change for everyone in America by dramatically changing the entire system for the betterment of all Americans? Or have the solid majority of Americans actually been okay with the status quo of our society?

But how do we know for sure that Putin wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine anyways even if NATO didn’t continue to expand eastward? Also, Putin’s statement about Ukraine needing to be “de-Nazified” was just a pretext for invading Ukraine. So, how do we know that Putin hasn’t been using the notion of Ukraine joining NATO as just another pretext for invading Ukraine? Hitler used the notion of the blaming the Jews, non-white people, Communism/Socialism, and every other developed country in the world for all of Germany’s problems as pretexts for world domination.

James Carville said “Putin is dead wrong about NATO expanding eastward. In truth, the newest NATO members expanded west … out of their own free will. The West has a pull: that pull is about freedom. That pull is about liberty. That pull is about respect for the individual.”

Wisconsin is supposed to be a purple state but The GOP has basically subverted the will of the majority of Wisconsinites by their gerrymandering. The governor is a Democrat and the only main reason why the state legislature have been controlled by Republicans is because of the gerrymandering they did back in 2010 which has given them such a major unfair advantage in winning state legislatures and national level congressional elections.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/wisconsin-supreme-court-election-liberals-win-majority-rcna77190 This is great news for the people of Wisconsin Democrats and liberals who now will more than likely be able to bring back abortion rights in Wisconsin and overturning the disgusting gerrymandering that the Republicans have gotten away with for over 12 years.

I am sure that would make a lot kids and teachers feel very nervous about that. But you know that conservatives say shit like how faculty members and school administrators should take responsibility for school safety by learning how to use a gun and bringing them to school to protect themselves and the students from potential school shooters.

Maybe AI could one help reduce a lot of these horrific mass shootings in the US.

The DNC did not rig primaries in 2016 or 2020. The notion that the DNC did so is a conspiracy theory.
