The Republican Party is a cluster of angry subgroups

[Kirkrapine]

The Republican Party is a cluster of angry subgroups -- general traditionalists, conservative intellectuals (they did exist, once), religious rightists, alt-right racists, Trumpian authoritarian nationalist-populist paleocons, economic (only) libertarians, bizcons who have no problem with crony capitalism, and neocon warhawks. Am I forgetting anybody?

Pretty much! Just a miserable group of people.

Otherwise known as a Trump rally.

Well, many of them are rich. Money can't buy happiness, but it can make your misery a lot more comfortable.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Are they out busting up DNC offices?

So, the rich are the Deplorables?

Pathetic fucking thread.

Pathetic fucking thread.

Well, you know, all those 'millions upon millions' of Neo-Nazis want Oblimo dead...

Well, you know, all those 'millions upon millions' of Neo-Nazis want Oblimo dead...

It's not just her they want dead.

Pathetic fucking thread.

Hmm...

Pretty much. They are hell bent on destroying all that exists with no clue as to what to replace it with.

Do you ever get the notion that they're in reality a bunch of young adults whose parents have kicked out of the house and shut off the gravy train who now want the government to take their parents place? An entire generation of "Gimme's."

What's your life expectancy, Ismale?

Some, perhaps; certainly the Koch brothers; most of the deplorables are poor, of course -- they voted for Trump because they believed he would do something about that. He hasn't yet. The old high-wage low-skill industrial jobs have not come back in significant numbers, and that's what they wanted more than anything else. Yet they still go to his rallies and cheer him. You'd think they'd learn.

You know, a non-douchebag would be able to make fun of me for what I actually said.

It's not just her they want dead.

If you'd read my smut, it'd be pretty clear I'm a guy.

Oh, shit, dude, my bad.
You got lady icons.
I'll try my best to remember that.

 

[SpeareChucker]

It's not just her they want dead.

And how many millions of them are there?

 

[SpeareChucker]

You know, a non-douchebag would be able to make fun of me for what I actually said.

That's the douche-nozzle calling the ...

You have a lady icon.

 

[CandiCame]

You have a lady icon.

I do not. That's James/Kojiro of Team Rocket/Rocketto Dan fame.

At least if a Democrat is angry, it is for a good reason such as blatant injustice towards marginalized groups of people or the rising wealth gap.

A Repug is angry just because he sees a negro behaving "uppity" and "out of place", a woman being promoted over him (entitlement despite mediocrity), two gay men holding hands, poor people receiving Medicaid, a scientist yapping about climate change, a squirrel crossing his yard, etc.

I say tomato, you say toMAHto...

At best, it looks transgender to me.

Oh, yes, I forgot to mention sexists and homophobes -- though that's probably implicit in "general traditionalists" and "religious rightists."

RWs are generally all for entitlements that benefit their kind of people, such as SS and Medicare and unemployment benefits -- they only get angry when they see tax dollars spent to help the Others.

So, only Republicans are eligible for "SS and Medicare and unemployment benefits?"

Is this nothing more than a "those people" argumentative fallacy?

James is a precious treasure who could probably kick your ass. He once kicked a fish so hard it turned into a dragon, and held back a different dragon with a frying pan.

I don't think you understand how transgender people work.

 

[SpeareChucker]

They all look like fems to me.



PS - Are you saying that only a guy could do that?
