No kid ever died trying to make a dangerous illegal border crossing without irresponsible parents or child traffickers putting the kid in that position.

My cartoons and memes are based on reality and facts and intended either for literate reality based folks or for you and others who might one day step out of your bubble.


The irony of this statement is lol.

If you truly believe that your memes are materially more reality based / honest, this might be a good moment to wake up and acknowledge how strong your bias really is. Subconscious bias will lead you to see your side as more honest and genuine, while the other side is seen as being stupid, fake, dishonest etc... it's not just a political thing. Perhaps you've read up on this psychology topic a bit as it pertains to human in-group / out-group favoritism, and how it leads to prejudice and racism? It usually starts by observing real, truthful facts which support your stance. Then, at some point you conclude that your group is just plain superior, and you kinda condemn the other group. After that point, objectivity is not realistic, but what's more sinister is that you may feel objective.

It's not totally your fault, as much of your bias is likely due to the bias in your information sources. But, being aware of info bias and not caring - that is your fault (not wanting to step our of your bubble).

I think I understand pretty well the Trump supporters.


I'm not so sure you do. I think this "trump is bad and so are his supporters" is a perspective sold by the left to try to make leftists "feel better" and "stay the course" while trying to shame the right. It's very effective.

Politically, it seems very convenient to say Trump supporters are just terrible people. It's certainly much better than admitting that most people support Trump because of policies and action, like they should. To admit that Trump wins on policy and action, and not on identity, despite all the things he says and does, and all the negative news, would be to admit that leftist policies and candidates really really suck a fat one right now. So, they instead just say "omg deplorables".

Most presidential elections in recent history result in a pretty close 50% voting dem, 50% rep - obviously due to policy since most elections have always been white male vs white male. But, with Trump, this long history of policy based voting was abandoned in favor of racism and hatred based voting? Cmon....wake up, you know that doesn't make sense. Clearly, some smaller fraction people vote based on identity, but this is nothing new. Both Obama & Trump definitely got some identity votes, and I think the left's platform is FAR more invested in identity politics.

btw - Characterizing a single Trump supporter, or even a small group of them, does not characterize the group.

And, you definitely pivoted away from the topic of memes. The message I got is "trump is bad, and his supporters are bad, so memes they post are bad, so my view of my memes is correct."

That cartoon above is incorrect.

What we actually do is 1. manage our investments 2. travel 3. enjoy the company of females 4. explore various beaches along the coast (not usually the gulf coast) 5.engage in boating, sailing, etc. 6. wonder how envious losers can go through life being so miserable.

I don't watch Fox news, why would I? I prefer to watch something more interesting or entertaining depending on my mood.

That's an understatement!
Kamala Harris as an example.

Don't forget, Russia hacked DNC emails because crowdstrike, an alphabet funded left-wing activist group said so. The FBI don't need to see no stinking servers, no way. Crowdstrike said so.

Oh boy. You can't not know that you are spreading lies.

Question: US is racist compare to what other countries? What countries are less racist than US? Japan, Mexico, Russia, China, Poland, Germany, South Africa?
Answer: US is among the least racist countries out there. Probably the least racist among those of geopolitical significance. By any objective measure it's also trending in the proper direction. It's been so good lately that agenda-oriented folks had to resort to fake crimes.

Patrick must've been scratching his head for years, how to combine freedom of speech with existence of propaganda trolls.
1712   Patrick   2019 Jul 23, 7:22am  

America is just about the least racist country in the world. Definitely near the top.

The most racist country? India.

1713   HeadSet   2019 Jul 23, 7:54am  

When you do not have an argument, claim racism. After all, even Nancy Pelosi does not like women of color.

Sorry Marcus your Race Card has been declined, do you have another valid form of argument?

Illiterate meme. Trump would never say, "our country has no spirt." or "we don't have a county anymore".

Ignorant? Uneducated? Or both?

What high crime or misdemeanor has Trump committed?

Not really expecting an answer.

Okay, I'll bite.

Where's the stunning evidence in the Mueller Report?

You know, the key uncovered facts that made Mueller recommend indictments against the President. That Ted Lieu and Madcow imagined the (unspecified, of course) Felonies they heard Mueller describe at the Hearing.

"Read the Mueller Report" has become the Dem's way of trying to distract from the fact that nothing actionable against Trump or his Family regarding Collusion (or any other crime) is in it.

Funny how Mueller's crew couldn't interview Mifsud but Horowitz and Durham already have. Meanwhile, the mad Bearded Hacker is in the hands of the Man who can make amends for his Predecessors' massive interference in our Elections by placing him in the custody of the Winner's Administration.

One gets the impression Mueller wasn't in charge of his own investigation, but handed it all over to the Solid Dem Attorney underlings and simply was the figurehead for the "Insurance Policy" that didn't pay out.

Even the lamestream media couldn't put lipstick on this pig of a Hearing. Too bad Ted Lieu, the Squad, Nadler, and others are still determined to push the Impeachment Mirage. Dems are very divided, both in tactics and goals.
1725   Tenpoundbass   2019 Jul 25, 5:37am  

Mueller's testimony was so damning yesterday, the Democrat Fuck Trump Presser afterwards, looked like 4 drunks that just found out they closed their favorite bar.
