    I notice when you debate conservatives they generally bring up meaningless platitudes “Trump was chosen by God” or mostly unfounded conspiracy theories “Biden is owned by the Chinese”. When you debate liberals they generally attack YOU with personal insults, logical fallacies and misrepresent everything you have to say, in hopes they can gaslight you to death.

    Not a shock Trump was a lifelong democrat before running. When it comes to debate tactics a lot of the people ITT are more similar to Trump than any conservative I’ve ever met.

    Public opinion can be very volatile. You see it with other issues such as gun control: when a mass shooting happens, public support for gun control goes up; after a while it reverts back to the mean. You saw this with support of BLM over summer too, particularly among white people. Nonetheless, 30-40% of the African-American population who currently say they won’t get the vaccine is still smaller than the significant portion of evangelical white conservatives who refuse vaccinations because of religion/individual Liberty etc.

    Which brings up my next point: one of the main defenses anti-vaxxers/mask people use is individual liberty. Who preaches endlessly about individual liberties? Republicans. It’s literally the center stone of their ideology. This is undoubtedly a politically charged issue. Which politicians fight the hardest to preserve religious exemptions for vaccinations? Not Democrats lol.

    I’d say “individual liberties” as a platform is more a libertarianism thing. But there’s no denying a lot of Republicans claim they support “individual liberty”...until it’s an individual liberty they disagree with.

    No, but that’s moving the goal posts—being anti-mask doesn’t automatically make you right wing, but you said “not wearing a mask isn’t a political statement”—which it is, and is associated with trump/right wing politics.

    political statement =/= partisan

    Impeachment calls are heating up. Wonder if Pelosi has the balls... I actually think theres a chance he could be removed from office this time, depending on how the next week or so plays out.

    Why now? He's enjoyed 74 years of not being held accountable... there are several millions of people that were born with a defect that left them without the ability to have empathy that worship him for that fact.

    I never supported trump and I was rooting for Biden this election. Your girl Kamala with the VP! Congrats. It’s still a shame and childish how trump is acting. Literally threatened people over the phone for not coming up with over 12k votes. I think he’s scared as f--- of being indicted once he’s out. The Trump Enterprise in NYC is 20 billion in debt with shady business dealings according to the fbi. No way he just walks away from this.

    Do I really have to go back & point out your endless posts over the years saying how Biden had no chance of winning & that Trump was almost certain to win re-election? Not to mention you were one of the biggest Trump apologists on this forum.

    Please do. I just look at things from both parties views. Never did I say I wanted Trump to win this election lol Especially after him thinking nuking a hurricane would be a good idea. I’m no huge Biden fan by any means. But I have way more faith in him and Harris compared to Trump who abused the constitution. If you try and nit pick a former post of mine, I was probably just trying to carry on a argument from another point of view.

    Honestly I enjoyed watching Jalen Hurts play. I think the team seemed more fired up when he was qb. Everyone was wondering why the h--- Eagles drafted him, but they must not have full confidence in Wentz anymore. Wentz just doesn’t seem to fit their offense well. I could see him playing better on another team, or he’s a complete bust. Idk I think I’d take him over Rudolph in Pittsburgh though as the backup lol

    Trump giving Devin Nunes and Gym Jordan the Medal of Freedom would be like Bill Clinton giving Monica Lewinsky the Medal of Freedom.
