The walls are closing in on Trump, again, for the twelfth time since he won his third term. It's over for Trump and he'll be thrown out of office next week with Kamalah taking her rightful place as president.

You joke, but as it stands, the republicans chances of a bad midterm defeat have risen because the Trump is too retarded to focus on the US economy. The only person who can stop Trump, is Trump. I would like to be proven wrong, but Im seeing worrying trends that show no signs of slowing.

Tbf, the RINO southern states that keep giving Dems a free blue seat with their redistricting because they like playing golf with that Dem on the weekends isn't helping matters.

Not a knower of Catholic Church history I see. Guess you didn't take AP Euro since at least then you'd have read about the slaughters Catholics did to Protestants.

You have to reassess your media diet since you are getting driven insane by random talking points.

In regard to the Iraq War, it would have been much shorter and less costly

Yeah the war would have been easy if the enemy just lay down and gave up. That is a deep deep cope. I'll give you a break so you can change Copium tanks

What is an evangelical?
Click to expand...
Evangelicals grow out of Low Church Anglicanism and ultimately the puritans. Key distinctives from the rest of Protestantism include the penal substitutionary theory of atonement and the need to be born again usually a rejection of Baptismal regeneration. Less emphasis if not total disregard is put on Sacraments, ritual or Church structures. See also Baptist and Methodists.

I really just can't be bothered to give a fuck about any poll. I've never seen a single one that had republicans ahead on basically anything unless it was at a time nobody cared about said thing. I don't think the people who release those even conduct them i think they just make shit up.

I also think a lot of their theorizing is continuing the 10 year problem of the establishment left being out of touch and seeing everything through their boomer lenses. They probably do studies (that they don't publish) then misinterpret the results.

For example I think when they see a figure like "25% Gen-Z really cares about social issues!" oldfags think "oh so we do more civil rights era nonsense!" when in reality what those particular zoomers want is tons of free shit for oppressed groups, trannies to have their own mansions, and for ceos to be killed in minecraft.

Another example: Oldfag Dems see figures that zoomers are concerned about the economy, so they try to get job figures up by 2%... in truth what said zoomers want is free shit or at the minimum a 10 hour work week. I think zoomies are starting to realize that no party is ever going to offer them that so at this point most zoomers don't even care about the term "economy", they just see it as capitalism which is heckin bad.

I firmly believe that gas prices are a boomer exclusive problem and certainly not something gen z gives the slightest fuck about. Gen-Z doesn't drive anywhere, most don't have jobs and the ones that do work likely work from home. It's boomers who are driving to work, restaurants and dance classes every day and florida once a month. Obviously gas prices have ripple effects into products but that takes longer to hit, youngfags don't shid and fard at the gas pump the way oldfags do because they probably don't even know what a reasonable gas price is.

I do not think anybody under 40 has this worry about our democracy going away or "kings" taking over. I think most zoomers question if our democracy ever existed. Most zoomers are pragmatic thinkers to a fault with no core values, if you could convince them throwing away our democracy would give them more coom, doordashed mcdonalds, vape juice and netbux i bet most of them would take that deal in a heartbeat.

I don't think anybody under the age of 40 gives a fuck about the ballroom. I don't give a fuck about the ballroom.

The only thing zoomers align with the establishment left on is hating israel, but the left doesn't really even hate israel they're just anti iran war so it's a wet fart.

All conjecture on my part but food for thought.

This is really reductive. Gen-Z aren't just doing Fortnite dances all day with their head completely empty, they would really like stuff like cars and stable jobs but aren't getting access to any of that. One demographic swallowed all the gratuitous success they inherited from their parents and subsequent generations have been left with less and less. You're seeing Gen-Z throw in the towel because they see how miserable of a future Gen-X and Millennials got thanks to boomers.

in the real world the prognostications are the senate has gone from toss up to lean republican

and the house from lean democrat to toss up, thanks to the total redistricting victory the republicans have won. plus, the democratic party is disliked MORE than the republican party in polls (both are in abysmal territory but democratic party is slightly MORE abysmal), and democratic misgovernance of big cities and cali/minnesota has been a nagging national PR problem for the party. this is why trump is acting like he doesn't have to care about domestic politics re: iran

If you just try to think about it, can you imagine any of the young people you know genuinely actually worrying about the kind of things the news is obsessing over?

Of course everyone is going to say they're oh so concerned about deportations and the state of our democracy but people say shit all the time. The iraq war was already extremely unpopular by the 2004 election for the same reasons: Gas, economic fallout, innocent deaths, tec. Bush still won. Trump had already been deemed worse than hitler in both 2016 and 2024, nobody was allowed to say they were going to vote for him but they did.

The fact that they've thrown in the towel is kind of my point. All of these things about how trump is going to make your vote and your 401k worthless don't matter to people who feel like they don't have one and definitely don't have the other.

If Gen-Z tells me they are obsessing over something in the news I believe them because they live on social media and not in the real world. Again this is something the boomers robbed them off by packing it up and selling it to immigrants.

No I hate the evil America has done I also hate Evangelicals and their heresies with a passion. Look at yourselves "justify your hate through religion" you sound like a reddit mod. Really read what you just wrote back and be ashamed.

I'm not the one trying to justify bombing elementary schools here or Trumps latest narcissism or the fact that living in America fucking sucks. I'm sure bombing one more country for Israel will get the third Temple built I'm sure of it. Because killing people is what their Christianity is about it's not about the poor the widow and orphan that's for libards

embarrassing lack of their but unlike my opponents I'm willing to admit the L and be felted.

LOL, those "heresies" came about because the church you're representing was far more concerned with the City of Man than the City of God, and got called out for it. What's more, you hilariously peacock about imposing "Catholic guilt" on sinners, when it's God who calls sinners to account and the Holy Spirit that convicts the world of sin. The words of man are little more than a sounding gong in that respect. You pray constantly for blessings from dead people, which is necromancy. Even today, your Popes worship at the feet of the whore of Babylon.

That moral high ground you're trying to pomp from isn't even reaching the elevation of an anthill. Hilarious.
