Oh, I agree. I think the amount of energy lost, when Trump dies, will be a huge blow to the MAGA movement. Will it be a coup de grace? I fucking hope so. However, if they get their project 2025 governmental structure into place, I think it will be hard to dethrone the GOP, even without Trump. I also believe that is the true hope behind that platform. They know their cult of personality is on a timer, so they are hoping to get things set-up, where they still have complete control, regardless of how motivated the cult is.

Why would they do that? They don't give a fuck about Jones, he has already been replaced.

I mean, at this point, it will just be a formality when it is made officially illegal.

Look up the 13th amendment, and why they had to write in an exclusionary clause to it because, even people from a time of chattel slavery practice, knew this was slavery too, and not indentured servitude, which stayed legal for decades afterwards! The factors making it slavery are quite eloquently explained, namely that indentured servitude was a contract the indentured servant had to agree to! Isn't that neat? It wasn't legally forced on them! Wanna know something else cool? The fact that it is a contractual agreement is STILL the definition!

That was only the end of it though. Through most of it, many aspects of the economy were better, for most people. He was just as complicit in why inflation, housing costs, etc. got so bad. However, do you think most people understand how the free money given, mostly under Biden, as a stimulus to the populace, had little effect on the inflation vs financial institutions drowning in oceans of free money, for 20 years? Do you think most people are even aware that was going on? Do you think most of them understand how private equity, and changes in its regulation, caused the housing cost crisis, and not supply being overwhelmed by the demand of immigrants?

I talked to someone I used to do underwriting, for things like mortgages, a few months back. He bought the immigrants buying up all the housing line. He just refused to believe private equity, something he definitely understands, is responsible, regardless of the fact that even those private equity institutions' data say they are at fault. It is much easier to say "housing unaffordable, close border" than to have to address the massive systemic changes that need to be made.

Hey, would you look at that, chattel slavery isn't the only type. That is amazing, no one could have guessed that until right now, after I looked it up. It is almost like it being called chattel slavery implies multiple forms of slavery. Wow, this is so new, and novel.

They disagree I should be allowed to live though

Then it just goes to someone as shitty, but likely much smarter

What about this statement means the people thinking this way aren't adult children? It seems you are just pointing out cognitively/emotionally immature ways of thinking here.

Literally every ad for the GOP was about how the democrats are going to destroy the country by allowing in foreigners, supporting the LGBTQ community, and supporting women's primary voting issues. Even when the ad was about a specific thing with none of that involved, at least one of those things would be mentioned.

If you think selling weapons is a maximalist policy, you are very naive.

Because they are adult children too
