The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXIX

JARblue · 01-07-2021, 12:47 PM

America is now the Land of Idiocy and the Home of Idiots.

From what I can tell, there's no reason to think positively anymore. All the attention is negative, so that's what people have to focus on if they want to accomplish anything.

I had to ask people to turn off the fuckin news yesterday. And they got mad at me for that

I subsequently called them The Problem and laughed while they got more angry

Idiocracy. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend that you do.

Exactly. And the people that I know personally who were supportive (not condemning of) this takeover of the capitol, violence included, are most assuredly not left leaning.

I want to stress heavily I'm not attacking a side here. We've touched on this stuff in discussions in the past and I know that most of us on this forum are strongly in agreement on any number of political points. Polarization is the enemy. If we can't have civil discourse, we've already become as lost as most of the country.

Antifa is basically Meg from Family Guy to the right. If it’s bad, Meg did it. Even if they thought it was good at first, as soon as the optics are bad, Meg did it.

If Antifa is "an idea" as Biden called them, then I wonder who's been burning down our cities, attacking the elderly and Trump supporters for the last four years. BLM?

I know how much some of this is probably geographic, but in my area, Megan and I both got stuck in the middle of a BLM/All Lives Matter protest (didn't know we were driving down a protest route). The ALM group were spitting on the BLM people, who had peacefully assembled, and had a permit. They were screaming profanity, calling them N*rs, and generally being as disrespectful as possible.

Stopping the violence were the police. So we had good police, bad ALM, good BLM people here. I recognize this is anecdotal evidence, I'm just relating my experience.

No doubt there are bad ALM and there are good (peaceful) ALM just like there are bad BLM and good BLM (peaceful). What I'm wondering is, what group has been burning down our cities and attacking citizens with red hats for the last four years. There has to be some organization behind it.

My town and my county is a red as they come and most my friends are Trumpers and good people. I don't have a problem with the right or the left and I chose to swing either way depending on the topic. There was a small BLM rally in our town as it is the county seat. There were all kinds of rumors of Antifa coming to town and folks being paid to come and protest...riot and cause unrest. Not a single arrest with those protesting but there were several arrest made to those in opposition of the march. Lots of folks carrying long guns and calling names.

We got to quit letting the fringe on either side move us from the ideals that we all believe in. Justice for all! All men/women are created equal and that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is for everyone.

Exactly. The fringe nut jobs yell the loudest, act the dumbest and get the media attention, which in turn just eggs them on to greater heights of stupidness.

Judge a person on their actions; most people just want to have a drama free life and live it to the best of their abilities.

My county was solid blue until 2016. It flipped red and stayed red. People are tired of the some old politics and want a change for the better. But neither side is offering anything that is better. Neither side wants to comprise. Pelosi would cut her nose off then work with Trump. Trump wouldn't talk to Pelosi. Had to go through 3rd party.
