  • Jesus christ, you fell for the GOP talking points!

    The bank bailout was by Paulson under Bush, it was literally just blank checks with 0 strings attached.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Economic_Stabilization_Act_of_2008

    The bill was proposed by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, passed by the 110th United States Congress, and was signed into law by President George W. Bush.

    Obama altered the deal, he made it so onerous the banks begged to pay back the money early just to get him off their backs.

    This is the problem, children who didn't live it hear second hand from their parents or other idiots, then believe complete bullshit.

    He did, however, bail out the auto industry.

  • The analogy is apt, we are the guy with a job walking by in a suit, they are coming down from meth, desperate for their next fix, and they're pulling out their knife.

    Last time they went on a redneck rampage we lost 600k good Americans.

  • I agree.

    But that's vastly better.

    The deep, DEEP seated racial hatred of the south is a terrifying thing and is something that has lasted literal centuries, they switched parties over that.

    The Midwest at least has some hope.

  • It would look more or less like what the Republicans have been doing, relentlessly pushing to the right because the left is fractured and can be counted on to never unite.

    The evangelicals hate Liberals so much they decided Trump is the ultimate Christian.

    That is unstoppable political power, and it doesn't exist on the left.

  • You're asking us to nourish monsters who have only ever shown brutal violent hate.

    Go find a wild tiger and try to win them over with kindness and nurturing, see how well that works.

    I'm sure a lot of people thought they could win the nazis over with kindness. Sure a lot of slaves hoped letting the rapes happen would somehow make them stop.

    Some people just have darkness in their hearts, and society must be protected from them for everyone's sake.

  • I'm not white.

    They tried to kill me a few times, I know how evil and violent they are.

    Oh god yes, my current country is amazing, it's basically like the Midwest but better, because these are the people who populated the Midwest. They saved thousands of jews during the holocaust, they're famous for it, and still humble.

    I believe the golden rule needs to be reinterpreted as 'do unto others as they do unto you'. And by those rules the south deserve repayment for all their horrific crimes.

  • BTW... The fact that you make it clear you don't want to be caught up in this makes one thing ckear:

    You know they are evil and violent, and you are terrified to face them because of this.

    This is what neutral Germans must have felt as they watched jews get rounded up in camps.

    You don't understand that dealing with the monsters yourself is actually the better choice for everyone.

  • I'm sure there were a lot of poor Germans who didn't deserve what they got.

    But it doesn't matter, that's how it goes, if you can't stop your neighbors from doing evil you suffer for that evil.

    A table with 4 people where one is a nazi is a table with 4 nazis.

    Your people are still trying to hurt everyone, and you're not stopping them.

    I fully expect to put a lot of effort to hurt your people in the near future in self-defense, because their history of monstrous evil and cruelty speaks for itself.

    I'm no longer there because I had to escape the south, and I thank God every day that I could.

    Then the filth chased me to the coasts and I had to escape to Europe.

    I can't escape earth. This far, no farther.
