I doubt it. The highest percentage gays in the US is San Francisco, and that's 7%.

Oy Gay!

Yeah that's some fake statistics, they probably counted every person in the parade as gay. As far as legislation goes Israel is a very conservative country, with gay marriage still not being legal despite many Israeli activists fighting for these rights in other western countries when they don't even have them in their own.

And one more obligatory reading for @jazz_music:

Many more were worried about oil field jobs, where workers without high school diplomas can earn six figures.

“Husbands, sons, brothers — they go and work in Midland-Odessa,” Barrera said. “There’s not a lot of other lucrative jobs.”

The benefits of the oil fields trickle down. New trucks fill the parking lot of the Walmart in Rio Grande City, the Starr County seat. New houses dot ranchland there and in Zapata County.

Democrats in south Texas had consolidated power over the years by remaining moderate, but lost support recently as the national party shifted left.

Mayra Flores, 33, a medical worker and mother of four in McAllen, left the Democratic Party a decade ago. She said she opposes abortion, supports law enforcement and believes in legal immigration — the way she moved from Mexico to Texas with her parents when she was 6.

Aron Peña III, a Hidalgo County GOP official, said he reached voters through gun groups, Boy and Girl Scout parents and Bible studies — the kinds of community organizing strategies he learned when he was a Democrat working for the Obama campaign in 2008.

Young Republican clubs have grown at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and South Texas College. Now Peña is trying to recruit more local GOP candidates to reduce the number of uncontested elections.

Locals drove another “Trump train” of 40 vehicles through McAllen on Wednesday night. Another parade is planned Saturday.

“We’ve only started,” Peña said. “We’ve never had this type of enthusiasm. I think this will only grow.”

We just escaped American fascist dictatorship by the skin of our teeth.

Four years and you still haven’t been able to explain what President Trump did that is characteristic of fascist. Oh sure you posted links to silly opinion pieces. But you still use the term without being able to explain yourself.

I will give you a start.

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy[3]

By definition, since President Trump peacefully and willingly gave up the presidential transfer of power, President Trump cannot be a fascist. He in fact did the exact opposite of what a fascist would do.

I can't help but look upon you as a troll, because I seriously do not believe what you say you can possibly believe. It would take an incredible amount of cognitive dissonance and I just don't believe anybody could have that level.

Oh he believes it. I blocked him while he wasn’t taking his meds a few years ago and he was polluting every thread with non sense. But he most certainly has a knack for ignoring fact at nearly unseen levels.

No, I doubt it. He never responds when people demonstrate his thinking is flawed. This is a hallmark of a troll. They only speak, they never listen.

If I'm trying to change minds, I expose my reasoning and invite them to challenge my thinking. If my thinking is incorrect, I'll accept it and take it in - and this has happened to me plenty. Somebody that already knows they are incorrect has no interest in being corrected.

forcible suppression of opposition

And where was Trump's forcible suppression of opposition? There was not even a hint of any suppression by Trump.

But the Biden-sponsoring techno-oligarchy is in an orgy of suppression of all voices that question their power or the lies we are told about the "virus".

jazz_music says

There is so much evidence of the slide to fascism

Trump left office when he "lost." He administered the best economy in 2 decades. His personality sucks. His policy was great for Americans. If that's fascism give me more.

I'll take a brash A-hole New Yorker over the guy we got now. Trump was a Democrat and I find it funny that Democrats don't know that fact. He took the path of least resistance against Hillary and "became" a Republican. You'll look back on this and regret your hatred for Trump.

Besides his personality, what did Trump do during his 4 years that was bad?

I'll start. His Covid response was god awful. He was heavy handed because little twerp Fauci and annoying voice Birx led him astray and likely intentionally. We should be open today and living normally, but he fed into people that want Americans dead from a mild virus and to help a senile old man win an election.

Trump’s personality doesn’t suck.

Maybe guys think that his reaction to lies, insults and bullshit should be polite, most people don’t.

The Wuhan response was good; stop people flying into the USA, and development of a vaccine in months rather than years.

jazz_music says

There is so much evidence of the slide to fascism that there’s a bunch of folks writing about it, both on the web and books too are being written on the subject.

Is that a sacrilege?

Watch a short video.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CktKPHNJUWE

I don’t have to chat.

So evidently personal attacks are allowed here?

Again all you do is link to nonsense.

I provided you a link to the definition of fascism. I explained exactly how President Trump fails to meet the elements of that definition. You continue to argue that he is a fascist without addressing how he meets the elements of being a facist. Then you complain when you are described as being what such actions make you.

You are welcome to explain how President Trump is a fascist. You can start with:

1.) What actions did President Trump take consistent with the exercise of dictatorial power?

2.) What specifically did President Trump do to force suppression of opposition ?

3.) What actions did President Trump take towards strong regimentation of society and of the economy?

The floor is yours sir/ma’am/zir

That video is like some crazy anti Trump propaganda. Just some computerized voice telling us that Trump will replace Democracy with Fascism, no evidence, just statements. It's stupid.

Unfortunately Trump is more popular in Nigeria than in USA. Please see this: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-nigeria/scorned-by-trump-many-nigerians-love-him-all-the-same-idUSKBN27J0S2

“President Trump, may we shout for joy over your victory,” Rev. Daddy Hezekiah of the Living Christ Mission Inc., which organized the Oct. 25 rally, said in a video.

A Pew Research Center poll in January found that 58% of Nigerians had confidence in Trump, behind only Israel, the Philippines and Kenya. A 2020 Gallup poll showed 56% of Nigerians approved of U.S. leadership, versus 24% for Europeans.

In a posh Lagos eatery, a portrait of Trump in a gold-trimmed red agbada, a flowing robe worn by Yoruba men, hangs on the wall. The traditional clothing is a “mark of respect”, said artist Peter Udoakang.

The only logical explanation as to why Trump is less popular here is that Americans are RACIST! since black people in Africa love Trump...

Nigerians praying for Trump.

In a posh Lagos eatery, a portrait of Trump in a gold-trimmed red agbada, a flowing robe worn by Yoruba men, hangs on the wall. The traditional clothing is a “mark of respect”, said artist Peter Udoakang.

“I made this painting to bring him closer to us,” said the 23-year-old, adding that Trump’s “radical” approach to governing appealed to Nigerians, who are used to hustling in a tough economy to survive.

On a busy Lagos road, driver Michael Onyeonoro said if Nigeria found a similar leader, the U.S. visa troubles might not matter.

“If we have a person like Trump...Nigeria will be a better place to stay,” Onyeonoro said. “There will be no need of going outside the country.”

@ThatGuy I like the idea. People do need to think about what they want out of life now that big tech and government has proven itself irredeemably corrupt.

I like this guy's direct approach: https://theunwoke.com/

My own advice is to stop using the FAGAT companies entirely. Just stop. You can do it!

I agree with this.

I don't care about Trump's personality

He brought peace and prosperity.

I am reminded of some author or maybe poet (whose name is not coming to mind ) who referred to “the me in me.”

In other words, her true self.

Nobody here ever changed their mind because of a good argument.

Delusions much?

I just posted a thread here yesterday about five ways in which President Trump changed my mind, albeit with results rather than argument.

Meanwhile, you have still failed to explain how Trumps actions meet the multipronged definition of Fascism.

Can I assume you now acquiesce and admit that President Trump is not a fascist?

clambo says

It's not about politeness. He could have been more savvy and smarter with presentation. He's brash. He's from New York. I personally didn't mind it, but it's literally the biggest and really only beef the left had with him. His policies helped them. I love his tweets, but people are sensitive. He didn't play to the middle left crowd that just didn't like him and was the reason they didn't vote for him. My mom is one. I know many others. They didn't like him but enjoyed the 4 years he was in office financially and said they would have voted for him if he wasn't an ass. Don't shoot the messenger, but Trump simply didn't play to that crowd.

clambo says

The Wuhan response was good; stop people flying into the USA, and development of a vaccine in months rather than years.

It was waaaaaaay heavy handed. He should have fired Fauci once he flip flopped on masks. Travel should have never stopped from anywhere. There currently is not an actual vaccine, which is fine, we don't need one anyway as it won't be effective. Just take care of yourself and you won't have problems. That's literally the solution to the virus. Not masks or banning travel. Take care of your god damn body. That should be the biggest take away from this virus. If you're a fat fuck eating burgers all day everyday, smoking, etc. expect to die from one of the weakest corona virus' ever.

Ultimately it was up to the states anyway. What's the point of paying state level politicians and taxes? Let's just have the federal government run everything and cut out the middle man? Would save money. Trump sent a ship and Cuomo sent half dead people around other half dead people with a mild virus that could put them over the edge. So I don't blame Trump at all. He just allowed "experts" to guide the covid response in the absolute worse direction. Fauci should be hung in public for his actions. The left wanted dead people and Fauci made it happen.

I liked Trump. He wasn't perfect though. If he had changed just the 2 things above, he'd have gone down as the most popular POTUS in modern history and likely would have gotten 100M votes. I think history with time will regard him better than the current hysteria from the left and media, but just a few changes could have made a difference. My list on Biden negatives would take up 20 comments, so I think I'm being fair.

Changed title to "How Things Are" because that's the topic of the book.

So again literally not even one specific action.

What is your malfunction?

According to the author
“Fascism has not happened here so far.”

“you could call legitimately call Trumpism a fascist social and political movement” and that Trump is “using fascist political tactics,” but that Trump isn’t necessarily leading a fascist government.

But most experts did not even go that ...

jazz_music says

But most experts did not even go that far, and some expressed concern that describing Trump as a fascist undermines the term and leads to a misanalysis of our current political situation. “If Trump was a fascist and we were in a situation akin to Germany in 1932 or Italy in 1921, certain kinds of actions would be justified,” Sheri Berman, a professor of political science at Barnard College, says. “But we are not and they are not.”

Have any of our anti-trumpers here won any awards of this kind, where they shared stage with Ms Rosa Parks?

Trump was trying to pass 2nd stimulus few.weeks before election. That would have given him voting boost but it was blocked.

Now they are trying to get it approved.

KgK one says

Now they are trying to get it approved.

The 2nd stimulus is never coming! Haha. They already got their vote.

Any "stimulus" is just going to be a bunch of money handed over special interests and corporations.

The national debt, as of this moment is:

https://usdebtclock.org/

$27,915,700,000,000

Wait until this "stimulus", it will be about $30 trillion, OVERNIGHT.

Another depraved chauvinist monster snorting after available pussy with abysmal and crude enthusiasm. No wonder they are throwing him under the bus in the Kommie useful idiot clearance campaign.

Cuomo, time for a sex change to exonerate yourself. Anderson Cooper will hold your pud while they snip.

Time to read between the lines.

From reading her story, I get the idea that the lady is fairly attractive. Also that she was quickly promoted into high positions. Add to that the people who make those promotion choices are pigs who think that giving such favors to attractive women will increase the pig's romantic opportunities. The lady knew all this, and played the game to leapfrog over others, no doubt strategically smiling and lightly flirting the right people. Had someone who could not influence her advancement done any inappropriate touching or suggestive comments, you can bet immediate reporting and punitive action would be taken. However, men who can help her get promoted got a pass.

The idea that someone might think I held my high-ranking position because of the Governor’s “crush” on me was more demeaning than the kiss itself.

And that someone would be right. But now that Cuomo has fallen into disfavor, this lady will be rewarded for helping to take him down. She will be the "hero" and will be thus aided in her run for Borough President. The timing of this is no accident. This is all politics by a women who knows how to play the pig men to gain herself top favors and promotions.

Same ole same ole dumb stick manipulation by women for advantage, couched as victimization. Tried and true way to exploit men.

"I showed him my tits and flashed my beaver at him, and just don't know how he got so excited and presumptuous."

I still think it's because he said he was going to raise taxes even more on the rich.

That'll learn him, the press goes against him, then there's the nursing home investigation...now this...what'll it be tomorrow?

Trump handled it every day for years. I say Cuomo cracks within a month.

The intelligence agency black bag plan holds according to knee jerk. It always starts with the sex blackmail being released, then cascades until the target figure is disgraced, prosecuted, and jailed. They have to hang their useful idiots in public to keep the rest in line.

How Cuomo was a bad boy and displeased his masters is anybody's guess. Maybe the masters just drew straws about who to punish to keep terrorism alive in the rest.

'We Don't Like Cuomo Now,' Says Every Late-Night Host In Perfect Robotic Unison

U.S.—According to sources, dozens of people around the country sat down last night to hear late-night talk show hosts tell them what to think about everything. Several viewers noticed the hosts opened up their very hilarious monologues with the same strange lines.

With a far-off look and robotic delivery, they all said: "We don't like Cuomo anymore. He used to be good, but now he's bad. You used to like him, but now you don't. Ha. Ha. Ha."

The dozens of viewers all laughed, having been given the cue to laugh when the hosts said "Ha. Ha. Ha."

"Wow, Governor Cuomo is bad. We don't like him now!" all the viewers said in unison.

According to experts, Governor Cuomo has been officially deemed bad by all the experts, even though he was good just a few short weeks ago. Experts also agreed that you should agree with them or you're failing to trust the experts, which is bad.

All NPCs lol

Leftist warlock burning! Trial by inane slogans, accusations, and KommieKunt platitudes! Cuomo will be the sin eater for the programmed lies and evil of the Progressives! A tasty Stalinist purge after the successful campaign to steal the elections!

Come on man. So he's guilty of some felony, federal record violations. Do you really think he's gonna be charged?

Hitting on women isn't a jail term offense.

Cuomo routinely made his female staff lick the mustard off of hot dogs while he masturbated. The man is a monster.

Of course, if he hadn't displeased his Globalist masters, he could have raped twelve year olds in Times Square and it would have never seen the light of day.

Democrat standard operation, we don't like u. They pay women around the person to say he assaulted them. Coumo, trump, n Kavanagh.

A celebratory book Gov. Andrew Cuomo wrote about his own coronavirus response has had its promotion paused by the publisher due to the federal probe into the state’s handling of the coronavirus in nursing homes, a report said.

Crown Publishing Group additionally has no intention of reprinting or reissuing Cuomo’s tome “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the Covid-19 Pandemic,” which was released last October, the company’s publisher Gillian Blake told The New York Times in a statement.

I wonder who exactly among the billionaires that Cuomo pissed off enough to have them attack him like this, and the harassment stuff too.
