I had a woman say these things to me in this order the other night at work--mind you, this is a woman who has been in and out of the hospital a number of times, and has medicare as her primary insurance at the age of 55:
1. I believe in socialized medicine.
2. I'm a republican.
3. We need to get rid of Obamacare because everyone having insurance makes it not competitive and too expensive.
And then my brain exploded.
Gee look at this insightful discussion of whether or not the horseshoe theory is credible.
Anyway, of course it fucking isn't. If you have even the most basic knowledge of communism or fascism, they obviously advance entirely different forms of government and economic relations. They're only "the same thing" if your criterion is "produced some memorable propaganda in the 1930s".
My point was never to discuss the merit of the horseshoe, just the bizarre convergence of the two extremes in the US today.
Good. No trannys in military. Cause they were such a distraction and burden on our troops.
Now our troops can go back to fucking with prisoners of war and torture.
Yet some on the left would still argue Clinton would have been worse
I don't even know that the horseshoe theory is the main takeaway from the conversation BVS speaks of. I'm more frustrated by the idea that it was yet another example of how people on both the left and the right are still determined to take shots at Hillary.
Bottom line, whether one believes in the horseshoe theory or not, it still sounds like a pretty weird conversation.
*Opens mouth. Closes it. Opens it again. Closes it*
...what?
Seriously, how in the world does this line of thinking make any sort of sense to people? I truly don't understand.
If you're going to cite high medical costs as a reason to keep anyone out of the military, might as well shut the whole thing down what with the VA's stellar reputation for providing medical care for disabled vets and all.
Just curious if it was gay people being re-banned from the military if you would have said faggots. Something tells me you probably wouldn't.

I just hate this whole thing. I saw on FB Samantha Bee re-posted a clip of the DNC where one of the correspondents went around asking about Clinton or Trump, and they all said Trump would be the lesser of two evils.
What a joke.
I have no idea, but in order to get through the rest of this administration I'd really appreciate if they shared the delusion pills with me.
Anyone who still honest to God believes Hillary would've been worse than Trump at this point needs a SERIOUS reality check. Those who actually believe that are just further proving that they didn't vote for Trump because of any actual policy decisions or anything of that sort. It was all pure sexist BS.

I can't decide who I hate more... The trump supporters or trump himself! Everytime I try to talk to a trump supporter it is like talking to a wall and their reasoning makes my blood boil. Then there is trump himself who also makes my blood boil. I hate the fact that he gets away with anything and his supporters defend him to the death and throw the usual but but Clinton, or its fake news or its Obama's fault etc etc. This is why I had to cut a couple of friends (high school friends of many many years) I just couldn't handle their stupidity and their conspiracy theories anymore. And I have a family friend on fb that out of respect for my parents I haven't cut them off. And this family friend keeps sending emails to both my parents and I about how amazing trump is. The latest email was about the "fake" global warming! My parents and them were friends for 50+ years but they are getting sick of this too. They were extreamely close friends but despite the many times my Parents have requested not to talk politics or bring up trump they still do. They are willing to kill a 50 year friendship over trump. TRUMP. This is why I think I hate trump supporters more.Anyone who still honest to God believes Hillary would've been worse than Trump at this point needs a SERIOUS reality check.

I was in a political discussion on another board where somebody was justifying voting for Trump because while they acknowledged he was a misogynistic narcissist and a liar, in their words, he's a "see-through liar". As opposed to Hillary who, according to them, knew how to use her words to lie, because of her skills as a lawyer and politician. They also said they'd been completely undecided up until voting day.
I didn't want to get in a huge argument, 'cause while that discussion was happening in a one-off thread for random chat there, that's not what the main focus of the forum is. But holy shit, did I find myself biting my tongue so fucking hard. The choice last year really shouldn't have been any sort of contest. It's ludicrous that anyone honestly thinks it was. And now we're all paying the price for people's short-sighted thought process.
Somebody else in that discussion also asked me after I'd said how I didn't understand people voting for Trump, if I actually tried to engage with any Trump supporters. I didn't go into all the specific details of our conversations and whatnot, but I did make brief mention of some of the types of Trump supporters we encountered here.
Sounds like a good idea to me.
I would have said faggots yes, as I was being sarcastic. I should have put /sarcasm at the end to not offend
This is a stupid fucking distraction again. This plays to his base and nothing more. And who announces policy changes over Twitter.
I don't get what these costs are that Trump talks about? Mental? Or is he throwing out the myth that transgender people only serve in the Military to pay for procedures???

This.we all realize that this transgender military thing is a move to make the christofascists happy before he fires Sessions and recess-appoints an AG who will then fire Mueller, right?
friends in the military all received an email today essentially telling them to disregard the president's tweets.
I heard Bill Clinton killed Zoe Barnes.the last time i was in /r/the_donald a few weeks ago they had somehow "connected" over 185 "suspicious deaths" to the clintons. basically anyone who has ever been in the presence of one of the clintons and died for whatever reason was murdered by evil bitch hillary and unstoppable mass-rapist bill. somehow these two are the most evil hyper-villainous monsters that have ever existed in politics, cold-bloodedly murdering every single person who ever so much as looked at one of them funny while simultaneously running an international ring of child-rape dungeons all around the world for all their pedo buddies (ie any leftist with money), collecting bribes and payoffs from every corrupt person and government on earth, bringing in millions of illegals from mexico in total secrecy and fooling every election official in the country into accepting their votes to rig the election in her favour, all the while managing to not ONCE be investigated by any law enforcement agency anywhere for any of these heinous crimes (that are then somehow easily uncovered by amateur unwashed neckbeards reading a few blog posts)...but yet despite obviously being the most ruthless machiavellian of all time with unlimited global resources she somehow couldn't drum up just a few thousand more votes in wisconsin or michigan.
reality isn't a thing for these people, and yes they genuinely believe all of this to be 100% true and obvious and that it's only a matter of time before the clintons are revealed to be the most evil monsters ever to walk the earth and that donald trump is the literal savior of america. this is literally a 21st century version of jonestown. praise kek.

We've all collectively (except those believing in TrumpWorld) been sucked through one of the most surreal "fun house" mirrors ever!
