Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

But from observing them closely as I would deer and working with them, there is little patriotic, special, talented or hardworking about them. They have the American flag in their front yard, but let the flag get dirty and torn by the weather, which is just one out of a thousand peeves I have with nominal Trumptards. On the other hand, Democrats come in a variety of interesting levels of talent, brains, and hard work. There is no uniformity at all with Democrats. I should be a Trumptard because I actually have all the characteristics the nominal Trumptards think, but don't, have. But I'm not because I could see what a huge phony businessman Trump is, while the nominal Trumptards can neither see nor understand Trump or themselves. Trumptards remind me of the Confederates, who claimed to be morally and mentally superior to abolitionists. The Confederates couldn't understand that the slaves were doing the work, creating the wealth, and the Confederates were actually lazy dummies with a mindlessly belligerent attitude which lost the Civil War. The Confederates understood as little about themselves and their serious faults as do Trumptards. The ignoble tradition continues.

SECOND They are the same as the Confederates.... SIGNY: Since you know even fewer Confederates than Trump voters - seeing as there are no living Confederates - I doubt you could make this comparison. SECOND: So, you find worthy Trumptards? My habit of checking the praiseworthiness of Trumptards started with a used computer owned by an engineer, deacon of the church, good neighbor, man of the community. I got curious and technical. I found "deleted" files of his tax cheating and his porn that he hadn't properly erased. I regret destroying those files and keeping quiet. That was not the last time I looked -- really looked -- at who Trumptards are. (I actually turned that same process on me to check whether I could believe it, because I couldn’t believe how rotten these people were behind the lovely facade. The PI found all my embarrassing episodes and explained how he did it. Ugh, but none of those were criminal or godawful stuff I found on Trumptards.)
Quote: Nowadays I don't have to dig deep and spend money for investigation, unless I want to jail a Trumptard employee who is stealing. All I have do is ask them about Trump's taxes or other Trump scandals or Trump’s stop the steal. The Trumptards excuse him and attack the MSM, which gives away the Trumptards' secret life: no better than he is.
Quote: I compared to Trumptards to Confederates for a reason: both know what they were doing was wrong. The Confederates willing went to war to keep their slaves, knowing what slavery was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Peculiar_Institution https://libgen.unblockit.ltd/search.php?req=Peculiar+Institution The Trumptards know what Trump is. They know he cheated, lied, and goofed off at important work. They do it themselves. They will vote for him again, given a chance in 2024.

Quote:Originally posted by 1KIKI: So, OBVIOUSLY - There's no common interest in defending the US borders against external threats? Let's get rid of the military then! - There's no need to maintain a common currency? Let's get rid of the Treasury then! - There's no need to facilitate interstate commerce? Or to regulate international trade? Strike Article I Section 8 Clause 3 from the Constitution, then! And so on. Come to think of it, if there are no common American interests, let's just get rid of the entire Constitution, and the federal government completely! Right? And now you've become a Texan GOPer! But, if you're NOT a Texan GOPer, let me re-pose the questions: What is in America's interests? What is in Americans' interests? Oh! yeah ... maybe you in your foreign land - wherever that may be - don't realize that the Civil War has been over for more than 155 years, and slavery has been over for more than 157 years. Slavery and the Civil War it sparked are both over and dead issues. No one is going to fight over slavery in the US again.

Quote:Tell me about the common interest that will reunite West Virginia and Virginia. Why do these two states not share a budget, laws, a two state wide government? Why doesn't rich Virginia at least give money to support poor West Virginia? Why don't they at least erase the border between them? Because a common interest doesn't exist.

Why doesn't rich Virginia at least give money to support poor West Virginia? Why don't they at least erase the border between them? Because a common interest doesn't exist. There's no reason for them to ever reunite. But there are BIG reasons for them to stay in the United States - like for example - Federal currency. Federal programs like highways. Federal military protection from foreign countries. Protection from neighboring states, like West Virginia being protected from Virginia. Not having to deal with the rest of the US as if each state was a foreign nation. And so on. So obviously there are common, shared reasons for states to stay in the United States. So I'll re-pose the questions again: What is in America's interests? What is in Americans' interests?
