I believe the mods were attempting to stop PugJesus and I from engaging in a slap fight, but you see how well that worked out.

It guarantees some subsection of the dumbfucks in this country who otherwise would have stayed home will now vote as a virtue signal. That is all it takes to sway the election really.

You've managed to identify the highly effective, yet morally reprehensible strategy for military recruitment. Get young men when they are at peak testosterone, but have limited pre-frontal cortex development.

You're right, better to allow a violent oppressor to slowly eradicate your people than attempt to free or defend yourself by whatever means necessary....

There will be plenty of evidence on November 6th, but I'm sure you'll still be just as far in denial then as you are now.

Correct.

Modern problems aren’t solved with blood but with marketing.

Tell that to the Ukrainians and the Palestinians. I know you want this to be the case, but you couldn't be more wrong if you tried.

That's not how odds work. The fact there are only two outcomes does not mean the odds of each of those outcomes occurring is the same...

No, it's more like:

"I wasn't going to vote because I don't care about or follow politics. Now I see they are trying to kill this guy so I am going to vote for him because clearly the powers that be want him gone. So, he must be doing something to fight the system like JFK."

Nobody who was going to vote Dem is changing their vote. It's all the people who weren't going to vote that now will because they either think he is badass for surviving an assassination attempt, or because of the web of new conspiracy narratives that are sure to be born from this that further serve to frame Trump as the savior of the common man from the clutches of the evil deep state.

My bad, I do see that it is referenced further down. I didn't scroll that far initially. Deleted my initial comment.

My vote is irrelevant. I live in a deep blue stronghold. Nothing I can personally do is going to change what is coming, and the path that we are on. It is time to prepare for the worst.

The downvotes are a direct consequence of their fear and denial, which I absolutely understand. However, I feel it is my duty to speak the truth so that people can begin the process of accepting what is coming.

You said it better than I could have done myself. It is time to start preparing the resistance now. Civil disobedience is the only way forward.

Go look at the response to some of my other comments. My opinions and perspectives have been consistent throughout all of them, and yet you can see some of my comments have piles of upvotes and others are downvoted into oblivion.

The cognitive dissonance is so extreme that it is palpable and observable in real time. Across the board almost everyone has downplayed the threat posed by Donald Trump. Every single day things get worse, yet he is only ever stronger and more emboldened. People are simply not prepared for what is coming. But how can you blame them....

We shall see.

Look honestly at the historical context and externalities of the moment you are in, and tell me you think it is a coin toss.

Whatever you are implying you should just come out and say it. You think I'm a Russian troll? You think I'm astroturfing? Think whatever you want. I literally couldn't give a fuck less.

You linked to the 2016 election. Here are the adjusted values for 2024.

We shall see.
