Yeah they're here too. I think there's a huge overlap in the demographics of reddit, this site, and really the entire Internet - white American dudes over ~35 . I've learned a lot about these people this demographic during my time on the web (mainly from places like reddit)

This seems nuts. Is this not an insane opinion? You want entire dog breeds to go extinct? What are your thoughts on that one governor lady? lol

Yeah, grifter maybe isn't the best word to use. I just meant in the sense that libertarians seem to support policies that help themselves, even/especially if it's at the expense of others.

That's really good you were able to see the policies Rand supported were even worse

I would phrase it another way, people that don't vote against Trump simply don't care as much about their fellow Muslim-, Mexican-, and gay-American citizens (and noncitizens, etc.) compared to other issues

I said it in 2016 and it's still true today. It's the US though; that's literally always been true. It's honestly time the rest of us realized it and accepted reality

Sounds about white. Jk, kinda

I was pretty far left by the end of high school. I only just missed voting for Obama and was all about that change! That was when I learned about things like our high income inequality, low social mobility, and rampant corporate profits

On a related note, I was super caught off guard by all the "libertarians" that hopped on that grifter, Ron Paul's, train. Man what a time. So many heated discussions. Good times

Did you support Paul(s)? Any regerts?

And this is why I punch myself in the balls! I'm some kind of a stable genius myself

Have you tried not being insufferable? I highly recommend working on your ability to communicate with others so people don't think you're just trying to be a (usually fake) know-it-all that doesn't actually know anything but really just wants attention

lol. That's an overly-generous way to look at it.

If only those were the only ways he forced everyone in his family to agree to support his personal preferences

For the lessons you're maybe thinking of, I'd give credit to my mom. She wouldn't let us have things like chef boyardee (had to look up the spelling. lol) because she'd say it wasn't as real but then would instead make legit pasta with store-bought ingredients. Whereas my dad would just prefer Burger King instead of McDonald's for some reason. Dude just hated things that were popular and happened to be right a couple of times. Bonus points if kids really wanted something he didn't care for - then he happily rubbed our faces in how we were dumb for wanting what everyone else wanted.

All said, they were immigrants so advertising def had to hit different for them

I wish I had your self-confidence! It would maybe help me get laid 😵

My parents never took me to these places, so I always felt like I missed out. Now they're all way too expensive to justify but it doesn't really feel like I missed out on much. McDonald's is the weirdest one. I used to think everyone hated it, until way later when I realized, nope. It was just my dad that hated it and made it so we couldn't have it. He wouldn't even drink Coke

TRAC has been praised by fellows at the anti-immigration think tank Center for Immigration Studies for the quality of the data it provides on immigration as well as the Federal Courts and federal law enforcement organizations.

Do you happen to have any other sources?

lol. It'd actually be kinda disrespectful if it wasn't clear you've never met a struggling American in your life

I mean, it was real for white people. It makes sense why they're the most pissed and confused lately

You're either lying or you're simply misimformed. You didn't mention staying late and doing extra work, which is what most people have meant when using that term to denigrate workers that do their job well but leave immediately after work is completed.

In this context your comment means the violent from protestors/revolutionaries has already happened. That's why everyone's confused and asking for clarification

You had me in the middle bit

Were you unaware of the state of Louisiana or something? Idk why anyone would find this hard to believe unless they're a little new to American politics

Sure but the house was clearly divided. That's data that conflicts with your main premise, no?
