What we progressives and humanists need to realize

[wallstreetguy]

It's hard for us to recognize this fact. Human always start from emotions and then, most often, rationalize those feelings into 'truth', that is in tune with reality.

The authoritarians and barbarians masquerading as conservatives recognize this. All of their campaigning has been to make sure their victims are consumed with emotion and never, ever get to thinking about what will happen to them under a government run by said authoritarians and barbarians.

Until we find some way of starting our policies from emotion we will continue to lose elections.

It is simple. We want law and order and not to mutilate kids.
Now, go study.

Lol, trump is the incarnation of lawlessness. His incoming AG is a literal pedophile. He himself is a rapist and felon. His self-admitted plan for day 1 is going to be chaos and fucking over the economy.

The dems are the law and order party. The repubs are the “fuck America” party.

Who did Pres Trump “rape?” A jury did not, let me repeat, DID NOT, find him guilty in any criminal case. Civil case you can say all day, but that bar is very low.

I don’t remember your pearl clutching over a certain Wilhelm Slick Willie Clinton’s MULTIPLE sexual assault allegations.
In fact the Clinton machine (and by default the “media”) bent over backwards to protect him.

It’d be one thing to acknowledge that women (and men) tend to throw themselves at people in positions of power. To call out your opponents “rapey” dalliance, while ignoring your own “rapey” candidates affairs shows your true intentions. This is why you sound like an idiot every time you post this slander.

He raped. Clinton sucks too. He’s not “my” candidate. Fuck you for supporting rapists.

Yes! Yes! Release your HATE!

That's an MSNBC fantasy you've accepted as truth.

It's not.

The dems are the law and order party. The repubs are the “fuck America” party.

Literally backwards.

Who's been showering everyone but Americans in taxpayer dollars we don't have?? DEMS.

That's also why Dems want to "progress" the USA into the exact opposite of everything it's ever been or stood for.

No, he didn't. Baseless accusations from triggered lunatics don't make anyone a rapist.

MSNBC/CNN/Salon are making you insane.

 

[Yarglenurp]

Yes! Yes! Release your HATE!

lol, you’re hilarious. Keeping pretending like you enjoy this, I’m sure it’s the only way you can cope with how much your kids hate you.

“…start from emotions and then … rationalize those feelings into 'truth', that is in tune with reality.”

Where I come from, this is called subjective idealism [i.e., solipsism]. It works a bit like Saint Anselm’s argument for the existence of God.

“…start from emotions and then … rationalize those feelings into 'truth', that is in tune with reality.”

This looks a bit too much like subjective idealism. Solipsistic thinkers may be able to derive a world from cognitive processes, but I never got the hang of that.

not to mutilate kids

You do understand, don't you, that no one is doing that?

 

[AceDesSpades]

Another fine example of, If I beat a point to death ignoring all else, I will get in the last word and I will win.

 

[JohnEngelman]

You need to realize that voters have spoken.

The voters have not spoken forever. Trump's tariffs will lead to worse inflation than we experienced under Biden.

 

[AceDesSpades]

Obviously, we should exploit the exploitation of people if it means the inconvenience of slightly higher prices.

Inflation? Inflation? Don't talk about inflation! Print more money! Tariffs!

Tariffs are just, you know, economically bad.

Cuts into missile production.

 

[AceDesSpades]

China is at war with us (not just economically) and the demand is, Don't fight back, that will be bad for you...

 

[JohnEngelman]

"Progressives and humanists need to realize" that human nature is not benign, that human potential is limited, and that there is occasionally wisdom in tradition.​

 

[AceDesSpades]

They believe they can abrogate...

I believe in miracles!
Where'd they go?
The fucking things?​
