Republicans should've had a better plan for economic & easing inflation.

They don't because short of re-denomination of the currency (read: political suicide), I'm not sure there's a cure for the current shitshow.

Yup, know how that feels. It's insane how much people care about being on the right side of the "new thing". It was also amazing and terrifying how quickly free speech turned into a "rightwing fascist talking point" With actual leftist free speech award winners from the 60s and 70s (you know, the ones that fought to get soviet and communist propaganda into universities) now claiming openly and proudly (what many suspected and contended all along) that they never believed in free speech, only their speech, the "correct" speech from the beginning. And much like "race blindness" and so many other issues where the left flips their supposed core beliefs as soon as it becomes useful, nobody ever truly attempts to call them on it and the few that do get shutdown and laughed at.

Here's a hint, stock up on ammo and firearm parts. You'll be needing it soon. We seem to be stuck in the shitty prologue sequel to Sulla's civil war, time will tell who will march on Rome.

It's the same people that will gladly turn you in to the government before they themselves are arrested. When all of it is over, they will claim to still be victims of the very oppression they caused. A great example was the Cultural Revolution in China. Le based Ronny Regan is also one of these shitbags when he testified to HUAC.

Gen-Z is so fucked as someone lumped in with them. There's a really, really clear split between the conservative (I hate that word) and the progressives. very few "moderates" right now.

So what? They win, you loose. Unless you're willing to go full 1776 and flip the whole chessboard there's no other remedy as shown by 2020's "No standing before voting" and "Moot post election" from the courts.

Will be blocked by the court so still be a 2024 issue.

The simple truth is I feel this election has cemented the cold civil war theory.

We've been in one at least since Trump got elected. I really hope we don't go Yugoslavia tier ethnic cleansing because that's what usually happens when there's no outright ethnic majority, and as a minority I'll be fucked regardless who I stand with.

I have one question for you farmers who are nominally Christian. The fuck is it with the whole "Jesus wouldn't want us to commit hate against our enemies?" It's like the "loosing with grace" bullshit the GOP says quite often.
Thankfully, I hold no such inhibitions because my grandparents didn't fucking shoot their wait out of tyranny only for me to end up in another authoritarian state.

1920s Spain is a far more relevant historical comparison to our current political climate.

The cure is pretty simple: stop printing money.

According to economists, Biden is at least party to blame for the recession for this very reason.

Anyways, maybe libertarians in Georgia will grow a conscience this time and think "maybe we really do want liberty after all".

Not quite, the GOP hasn't been able to reverse the majority of shit pushed by the Dems yet (Gay Marriage, new gun "control", transgender funding, etc). Both parties utterlack true "vision" and are just taking their predecessor's ideas to the logical conclusion.

They won't, the US would then collapse from interest payments, or the massive austerity cut/tax increase needed to levy that.

Also, Warnock's lead is narrowing. This is gonna go to runoff and walker is probably going to win.

Doesn't matter. Mr. TV doctor lost so even if Walker takes Georgia that is only a 50/50 (the two independents are Democrats) with Kamala casting the tie breaking vote.

P.S. Time to go to bed, frens. The results of the 2022 midterms will still be opaque tomorrow morning, no need to lose sleep and wake up grouchy like Keffals.
 
I hate women so much bros.

Lmfaoing at the cope going on here. The dems ran on a platform of fucking you into 3rd world poverty, catsrating your children, and sparking nuclear armageddon. And they lost fuck all on that platform, the people want that. The people want to rape children and die in nuclear hellfire. There is no political solution, things only going to get way fucking worse from here.

Modern Christian heresy, largely propagated by the Majesterial Protestant denominations like the Episcopal and Lutheran Churches that teach obedience to the State as the divine virtue. Non majesterial protestants like to think they are not tainted by their icky brethren, cuz they are just so reformed and shit, but even they have happily gotten sucked into the whole hippy Jesus, respect the civil authority vibe.

To be fair, the Catholics are not much better since the whole counter reformation was also about getting people to stop murdering each other over politics and back to obeying the actual ruling government. The pope. Not those icky German Princes and Northern European kings.

You need to keep in mind just how large a shadow the 30 years war casts over Christianity and western civilization in general. It not only broke the Christian church, it also quite literally defined what a "Sovreign State" actually meant.

It just required God knows how many people to die horribly.

4 centuries later and Western Christianity is still very uncomfortable with the idea of resorting to violence in defense of the faith. The trauma is literally that long lasting. It's also not really in keeping with traditional Christian philosophy on the use of violence to defend the faith.

This is why the Orthodox Church tends to get a reputation for being "based". They never really got involved in the 30 years war. But they have spent centuries fighting infidel Muslims. So they still hold the traditional augustinian concept of just war and the use of physical violence to combat Satan and his earthly agents.

It's worth noting that it's absolutely silly to assume that Rs vote in lockstep like Ds usually do.
