Of course Dave chooses, possibly, the most nazi-looking rank (rank 9) for his account, despite being an admin and having the ability to set his rank to literally any other. What are the odds?
I'm a huge fan of Trump. And I have no qualms with Dave generally, but the Dave I know on this platform has used, let's say, questionable premises so far in the course of this politically heated forums thread.
Trump's foreign policy is miles better than his modern predecessors. But he's heavily influenced by those around him like Stephen Miller and Jared Kushner. They're holding him back, advocating for a more measured "practical" approach to guiding America's military actions on the world scene. Trump survived A SHOT TO THE HEAD. He bled for us. The troops are loyal to HIM. He should lead an American military force to Greenland. He should seize more than that. We should occupy Venezuela and Cuba and turn Trump from their de facto boss to their de jure president. The American Empire can begin NOW. He just has to select an heir, a proper heir. I WILL BE THE TRUE HEIR OF THE AMERICAN EMPIRE.
Oh I'm fine with going and invading Greenland. It should take us all of about 20 minutes to capture. We should grab Canada too on our way back.
Politics today are very polarized and there is no middle ground, it is the same anywhere - in US, EU, anywhere with democratic systems. It is sad really. If you asked me 10-15 years ago, I was closed to Republican policies than Democratic, especially on economy. Now everyone is on "your" or the "other" side. Nothing good comes of current state of things. People didn't care this much about politics, now friend circles get destroyed because people get too affected by politics.
Well I definitely agree on this... things are super polarized right now and it is sad. I wish everyone could find a way back to being able to have honest debates without destroying friendships. I don't know the answer for that.
1. You said it yourself: Trump is more popular than polls predict him to be - this is historical. Polls have never successfully captured his full level of support. This isn't the case with other Republicans, though; when Trump isn't on the ticket, polls tend to be more accurate.
2. Vance just isn't charismatic enough to unite Trump's base. He could and will try to, but it will fail, and he will face opposition within the party as well. I don't think there's a single person on the right capable of uniting the tent the way Trump did (well, I actually think there is one, but for the sake of this post, let's leave that for the end ). Even Trump himself doesn't do it anymore at the level he did before - partly because key players on the right know it's his last term and are fighting for a piece of the cake for themselves, and partly because his age and health issues are showing more and more. It's becoming undeniable, just like it became undeniable with Biden in the last year of his presidency.
3. The MAGA base is a very broad tent - but the key demographic Trump brought into mainstream politics is red-pilled men who adore strength and racism. Even though this is a small portion of his base, it's big enough to make a difference in general elections. Vance doesn't navigate this part of the coalition well. On one hand, his wife is of Indian ancestry and his children are mixed-race, and the racist part of the MAGA base dislikes that. On the other hand, he isn't even defending his wife, which comes off as weakness to that part of the base aswell. This guy said what the average red-pill guy thinks about Vance:
Yeah, the guy is a complete idiot, but he's saying what his followers think.
All that said, as you know, I'm a liberal myself, and I'd actually prefer Vance as the Republican nominee. I think he would lose to anyone in a general election, including (but not limited to) Newsom. I'd even go as far as to say he would lose to Kamala if she won the primaries in 2028.
As a side note, the only better-prepared candidate on the right - whose populism and messaging I actually find electorally dangerous - is Tucker Carlson. If he were the 2028 Republican nominee, I'd bet on him to win the general election. I don't think that he will candidate himself in 2028 though, and without him I believe as of right now that the right will lose both the Midterms this year and general in 2028.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Even though I don't agree, it really is fascinating to me trying to understand how the other side thinks.
Clearly your side thinks my side is a bunch of racists. I mean you straight up said that we're "red-pilled men who adore strength and racism." That's totally crazy to me. I really don't understand where the racist accusation comes from? (I'm resisting the urge to be offended here and think about things objectively)
The guy in that video... I have no idea who he is, but he definitely doesn't speak for me, or anybody I know. I literally don't know a single MAGA follower who thinks like that.
I think it's a caricature invented by the left to dehumanize us.
I live in Nevada which is basically a purple state, but I live in one of the reddest areas. I have a business here and I interact with our customers on almost a daily basis. I also travel to California frequently. So I see a lot of different people. The town I live in is mostly white and hispanic, with a few blacks, asians, and whatever else. You'll see people wearing Trump hats and cowboy hats. You'll see people openly carrying firearms (which is legal here). We also have a few lefties here... I'm sorry to say it but they are not hard to spot: the blue or purple hair, the girls with a bajilion piercings and nose rings, and so on. And yes we even have at least one trans person who is one of my customers. I don't know his/her/their name (we've never discussed preferred pronouns), but there is a guy who has the physique of a man, the deep voice of a man, but who wears women's dresses, makeup, and has long hair styled like a woman's, who comes in about once a week to buy stuff from me.
How do all these different people get along? They get along just fine. There is zero racial tension here as far as I've ever seen. Those on my side don't really think about it much. We're very much "live and let live" people. In the 3 years I've been in this place there have been exactly zero fights over race. If MAGA was as racist as you believe, wouldn't they be gunning down brown and black people every day? Especially in a place like where I live, where literally half the people carry guns every day?
The reality is, racism just isn't a thing here. In fact, quite a few (not all I'm sure, but a lot) of the hispanic people here love Trump. How is that possible if we're supposed to be racist?
I know there's probably nothing I can say here that would change your mind. I live in a different place and have very different experiences than you. I would just say this: if you want to find which side is really closer to the truth (yours or mine), spend some time with real life "MAGA" people and see for yourself. Don't listen to these fake psyop "MAGA" people on YouTube or social media. I mean go to any "red" town in the heartland of America and talk with real people.
I think you will find that MAGA people generally believe the following:
- We love our country and are not ashamed to say it.
- We "live and let live" -- you can be whoever you want to be as long as you're not telling me how to live my life.
- We cherish freedom of speech. We like open debate and asking questions and it's okay to disagree -- that's how we all learn from each other.
- We are self-sufficient. We want less taxes and less government intervention in our lives.
- We love our military and law enforcement even though we prefer not to have to use them, it makes us feel safe knowing they're there.
- We have no problem with people from anywhere in the world coming here to become Americans as long as they respect our laws and culture.
About 90% of the town I live in would say the same things.
Even redacted files that are getting released will likely cost him and Republicans in the next midterms (which already seem pretty likely) and the next presidential elections (if the trends of his administration continue as they are right now). My opinion on the matter isn't important since I'm not a US citizen or resident, and I don't plan to become one.
On a side note, much of MAGA was anti-war and anti-interventionist, and wanted out of the Middle East and the Ukraine conflict - one of Trump's promises. Instead of pulling out of these, he opened a new campaign in Venezuela, which is already splitting his base of support. That won't help his chances in the next midterms either.
As for my own opinon, which as I said I do not believe is important at all on the matter, I think the damage Trump did in relations with EU will be the reason of faster downfall of Western/European/American (whatever the name you prefer) style of life which we all like and prefer compared to the Chinese or Russian model.
Who do you think will be Trump's successor? I do not think JD Vance is electable.
I don't think of Venezuela as a "campaign" per se... we went in and grabbed Maduro, and that's the end of it. I don't expect anything further to happen there militarily. Trump will make threats but that's just for the purpose of negotiating some favorable oil deal.
Speaking as a MAGA guy myself I don't think the Venezuela thing goes against our anti-war/anti-interventionist policy. We were in and out in 1 day.... that's even less than when we grabbed Noriega from Panama in 1989. If it slows the flow of drugs into the U.S. it was worth it. And if it brings down the price of gas here, even better.
I love JD Vance. I believe he will be elected our next president.
I'm gonna make a prediction right now: the 2028 campaign will be Gavin Newsom vs. JD Vance. Newsom is a FUCKING RETARD. His only good quality is the smile and the slick haircut -- he looks good on TV. But he has absolutely run the State of California in to the ground as governor. You'd have to be learning-impaired to want to copy California's failed government to the rest of the country. But, since half the country IS learning-impaired -- I mean 74 million people voted for Kamala, for fucks sake -- Newsom is already guaranteed those votes.
However, I think JD Vance will win for 2 reasons:
1) Trump is still way more popular than the "mainstream" polls would have you believe. Most Americans actually support his policies. Vance will continue them.
2) Vance is great on the debate stage. Newsom talks with a lot of big words trying to sound smart, but doesn't actually say anything meaningful. JD cuts right to the heart of the issues. He will annihilate Newsom at the debates, which will tip the independents towards him and win him the election.
I started the game "https://it.atwar-game.com/games/?link=3508581944" when the post "Merry Christmas! Santa is back, and so is our annual sale..." came out, but no one found Santa Claus. Is this a mistake or did I do something wrong?
What do you think about his handling and involvement in Epstein case?
I think President Trump is probably right when he characterizes the Epstein stuff as a distraction.
The Epstein files were under the control of Democrat administrations (Obama, Biden) for years, and they didn't release them either. As Trump has said, if there were anything in there that made him look bad, the Democrats would have leaked it by now. I'm sure that's true. The Democrats have been desperate to "get Trump" for years, there's no way they would pass up something like that.
That being said, I wish President Trump would just release everything, once and for all. No redactions, nothing held back. Just release it all so we can move on.
I don't think there's anything in there that would hurt Trump (again, if there was, it would have been leaked already), but probably a LOT of other people in the government / positions of power would be embarrassed. I say go for it, they deserve it. But maybe Trump is using it as a bargaining chip. Who knows.
This user had access to my account and I found Santa and he didn't so he donated all my protocoins to himself and lied xd
He doesn't anymore.........I wanted to use the protocoins you donated to me in the protocoin shop the Christmas penguin and other stuff you can put beside my name, but I guess I can't now
I'm sorry to hear that, but this is a good reminder why I tell people never share your accounts or passwords with anyone.
I had 300 protocoins donated by Dave and suddenly I have none.............How could this be possible after I checked everywhere and I definitely didn't donate them.
You transferred 310 ProtoCoins to this user: IslamiRaccoon

How is it going? Got what you thought you are voting for?
Yes, I am happy overall. President Trump is the best president of my lifetime (40 years) without a doubt.
Trump 2.0 is even better than Trump 1.0 because this time around he knows how the system works -- he knows how corrupt the deep state is, and how far they will go to undermine him. He seems to be "flooding the zone" with so many actions, his enemies don't quite know where to strike back. Even if only 10% of his executive orders "stick" (i.e. survive through the politicized courts), the country will still be so much better off than it was.
President Trump keeps the left distracted with fake controversies... things like adding his name to the Kennedy Center, constructing the new White House Ballroom, hanging the Biden Autopen portrait, etc etc. I don't think Trump is too personally invested in any of these things, he's more of a "let's try it and see what happens" kind of guy. He knows the left will have a meltdown over everything he does, and in fact I think that's half the reason he does it. The left genuinely cannot help themselves. While they're freaking out and melting down over these trivialities ("Trump's a dictator!!! No Kings!!!" ) they are distracted from the real work he's doing to save our country: closing the border, removing dangerous criminals, fixing our economy, and so much more.
Whoever was running things during the "Biden" administration (because we know damn well ol' Joe was NOT calling the shots) did so much damage to our country, it's going to take a LONG time to recover. We're just now starting to see some signs of recovery (for example GDP over 4% is great news!), but we've still got a long way to go. I'm not even sure Trump can fix it all during his term, but if anybody can, he's our best hope. He's been moving at lightning speed -- the man is relentless. He's a force of nature. If the obstructionist Democrats would get out of his way and actually work with him for the betterment of the country, we could achieve so much. But that's never going to happen so Trump is doing what must be done on his own, it will just take longer.
The only complaint I have is I'm really disappointed in Pam Bondi and Kash Patel. Why have there been no arrests?? The Biden & Obama people have a lot of crimes to answer for (rigging the 2020 election, the Russia Hoax, January 6th, the fake impeachments, illegal spying on American citizens, just to name a few!). President Trump is smart and he's standing by (for now) Bondi and Patel, so he must know things about them we don't. I have to trust him on that one, but it sure is frustrating. My half of the country were deeply wronged by Biden & Co. and there needs to be justice served if we're ever going to heal as a nation.
merry xmas. Also this is my second main is it possible that you could put the PC in my main main @WhatijStudios? Cz I use this to be able to use costum maps, as I have little pc in my main. With more pc I could avoid using alts.
ProtoCoins delivered to your main (I'm feeling nice today ), Merry Christmas!
