I got a bad feeling Biden might win. This race could very well go either way. And we know if Biden wins, our Civil Rights will never be the same nor will our 1st Amendment Rights.

Biden doesn't have what it takes to stand up against extremists - he will likely crumble to the mobs radical demands. He's been silent this entire time. Has done nothing, or offered what solutions he would propose if he was president.



Man, I have a bad feeling Biden might win, too. It would set the communist revolution back by at least 4 years during his right wing liberal bullshit administration. That's so depressing to me and other communists. We need Trump in office to make sure the revolution kicks off in full swing and our Antifa supersoldiers can burn down and rape our way through your pathetic suburbs.

In all other cases we are choosing between two competent people, but with different ideological views.

In this case we're choosing between somebody competent, and somebody fundamentally incompetent and incapable of effective governance, who has spent 4 years causing issues with that incompetence. All ideology aside, Trump cannot fill the functions expected of the office.


A lot of people will still prefer the incompetent fool who wont get anything done over the person who they know would be efficient - efficient at implementing all the policies they hate. For example, nobody who can be taken serious doubted (in 2016) that Hillary would run a tight, well-oiled administration. They doubted her intentions, not her competence.

Generally speaking, I think that this is one of the biggest disconnects in American politics: liberals just cant wrap their head around the idea that many conservatives are perfectly fine with having a dysfunctional federal government.

"I don't understand" was the wrong phrasing. I understand that kind of position, I just think it's really stupid and is mostly held by stupid people.

We lose a lot of wealth and opportunity by not having a functional central government. It's easy for dumb people to not see that or ignore it.

To quote your own words from earlier today: "it's a spectrum". Of course it is bad for everyone to have a 0% functional federal government. But one which is operating at, say, 80% might be better from the point of view of a conservative than one at 100%. In particular if the state and local governments are fully functional. Subsidiarity is very desirable anyway.

So... Bernie strongmans Trump?



Yet another example of the pop right's inability to meme.
