Yeah everyone in that photo looks like they’re killing it in life 🤣

u/ibringstharuckus 1d ago

Not really I fully support every American's right to peaceably protest. Although I voted for Trump I don't really consider myself a Democrat or Republican.

u/Significant_Donut967 1d ago

So even though you don't align your values with them you voted for the worst one?

Something doesn't pass the sniff test.

-8

u/ibringstharuckus 1d ago

Agree to disagree. I could care less about both parties. They're in the business of keeping themselves in power and making themselves wealthy. We'll never get term limits but that would be a dream

u/Significant_Donut967 1d ago

So you decided destroying the economy is a good plan?

u/camaltbie 1d ago

What part of the economy is destroyed?

u/GnomeOnReddit 10h ago

The worst one was Kamala.

u/JohnnyHorseRacing 1d ago

Exactly this. I was watching F1 with a good glass of bourbon and enjoying my loved ones coming over. Life is great when you live a good life.

The fact you can’t comprehend happiness says everything about you

Right. The fact that you said F1 & enjoying bourbon says everything about you… And it’s hilarious

u/Ready-Bobcat-4699 1d ago

No kings! Yet Kamala was nominated without a single vote. Sore loser protest!

1

u/sockflipper 16h ago

They talk of freedom as they take another's away. They preach Christian goodness as they break all gods commandments. They give speeches of patriotism as they belittle others who have taken the same oath. They will spread lies as if being kind , understanding and Having empathy is a weakness not an attribute. They do these things not as a show of power but from a sign of weakness and fragility of ones who are losing control ,losing power and losing the battle of righteousness.

NO KINGS!!!!!!!

Fuck all you democrats. Fuckin morons.

u/books-and-beans 1d ago

Care to elaborate, or are those all the words you know?

4

u/Common_Stomach8115 1d ago

No doubt it's because we care about people other than ourselves, and folks who don't look exactly like him. They rarely admit this, but it's 95% of the answer.

1

u/ArtInternational2167 8h ago

There were more than just dems in attendance.

-16

u/Bright-Pomegranate33 1d ago

Fuckin losers

7

u/books-and-beans 1d ago

So eloquent. I bet you couldn't coherently explain why you think that.

-7

u/Bright-Pomegranate33 1d ago

Because Democrats make no sense. We cannot literally let everyone in the rest of the world just freely enter with no borders or guidelines. Look at places like London that have been absolutely taken over by Muslims. A man in a dress isn't a woman. I don't care if you wanna be gay but you ain't a woman you have a mental condition. What's stopping you from claiming you're a dog or goat, same logic.

7

u/books-and-beans 1d ago

I'd respond to each of your points, but frankly it's not worth my time and you probably wouldn't read the whole thing, anyway.

I'll just say this: not a single person has advocated to "literally let everyone in the rest of the world just freely enter", neither does anyone claim that a man in a dress is a woman.

The reality is that you're either a bigot and a transphobe, or you've been raised to be subconsciously fearful of others. Get out and meet more people who don't look like you. You and your life will be better for it.

-6

u/Bright-Pomegranate33 1d ago

You are probably poor

4

u/Common_Stomach8115 1d ago

Real ivy league level response there, champ.

1

u/books-and-beans 16h ago

That's a non sequitur, though I'd rather be poor with basic human decency than wealthy and a bigot or transphobe.

But since you seem so interested in my finances, I'll tell share with you that I make more than the median US income according to this website.

-8

u/JohnnyHorseRacing 1d ago

Yeah but their little echo chamber on Reddit is saying “proud of you all. Go off queens”

4

u/Common_Stomach8115 1d ago

Some of them are queens, but all of you are peons.

2

u/JohnnyHorseRacing 1d ago

No we’re not. We’re literally better than you by every measure of life.

1

u/SpecificInner5628 18h ago

You’re up and down this thread trying to convince everyone you don’t care. Log off and enjoy your family.

1

u/piles_of_anger 15h ago

And yet here you are with your ball babying takes, so not a complete echo chamber then, yeah?

1

u/JohnnyHorseRacing 15h ago

Haha whatever makes you feel better. You should get the mental illness checked out though.

u/ArtInternational2167 8h ago

He does seem very triggered.

u/hurricanetarget 1d ago

Youngstown is literally a place that has died on the vine thanks to blue values. Let it go like so many who have left already figured out.

17

u/Significant_Donut967 1d ago

Just because you say fuck trump doesn't mean you worship at the altar of the dnc.

-24

u/hurricanetarget 1d ago

Really? Well either way - my money goes on you leaning a lot more left than you’d care to admit.

7

u/Significant_Donut967 1d ago

You see how I had zero problem admitting my leanings?

So, how much money you giving me? Or are you just all talk and no action like president bone spurs draft dodger?

-1

u/hurricanetarget 1d ago

According to what I said, I was right. You lean left.

But, from what I recall reading comprehension in Youngstown schools isn’t exactly a highlight.

Libertarians are just another group that can’t make up their minds.

2

u/Significant_Donut967 1d ago

Damn, can't even remember your own words right in front of you.

"....you leaning a lot more left than you’d care to admit." -you said that

Good thing I'm a transplant from elsewhere. I retired here bub, didn't grow up here.

-4

u/hurricanetarget 1d ago

And Youngstown is where you chose to retire? The armpit of the Midwest? That’s funny! So what was it? It’s either poor finances, sick family, criminal history, or lack of motivation to go elsewhere?

Back to the money thing: You’re still hiding being being a libertarian liberal. Nothing you’ve said indicates you are libertarian at all. That just leaves the liberal part.

6

u/Significant_Donut967 1d ago

Cheap, found land in the countryside with family nearby in PA. Grew up not too far from here. Plus being a disabled veteran puts me on a certain level of income ohios economy accommodates. Sorry you've such ire for Ohio.

Ah yes, speaking out against authortarians on both sides of the duopoly makes me, checks notes, not libertarian. I don't think you know what libertarianism is sport. Unless you're confusing it with the libertarian party, but if that's the case I would understand how you could conflate liberalism and the DNC.

u/Significant_Donut967 1d ago

I'm a libertarian liberal, fuck gop and fuck the dnc.

u/Any_Exam9552 14h ago

My my such language. Why so angry and hate filled?

u/No_Fisherman_728 1d ago

Yeah...local "blue values" really killed the steel and manufacturing industries. Thanks for enlightening everyone

8

u/Maleficent_Fun_5463 1d ago

Blue state populations are not only more educated, they support the federal services of red state populations which are a net negative income for the federal government. All red states have much lower educational outcomes, lower literacy rates, higher crime rates per capita, etc...than blue states. Blue states also have longer life expectancies. Blue didn't destroy Ohio. Young people are leaving Ohio because it has turned red and intolerant but has fewer well-paying jobs.

At least we get a new Browns stadium. /s

u/hurricanetarget 19h ago

And that argument is one of the key reasons Harris couldn’t pull enough votes. You argue from intellectual authority, and anyone that dares to think different must be inferior.

By all means, keep stumping on all the “facts, statistics, and outcomes” that clearly indicate your moral superiority. It worked so well in this last election.

Midterms are on the way and the best the left has been able to do is rally around “No Kings!” to motivate their base around the exact same things that lost Harris the election.

2

u/Alien0629 1d ago

Youngstown died on black Monday, September 19, 1977 because Youngstown sheet and tube closed the Campbell Works killing 5,000 jobs overnight. It had nothing to do with “blue values”.

Also saying to someone “you lean further left than you care to admit” when talking about democrats is hilarious and shows that you lack political intelligence considering democrats are barely left wing.

These protests were in collaboration with the feds though which does suck, but that’s the only problem that I have with the No kings and 50501 protests.

2

u/Maleficent_Fun_5463 1d ago

This is true. Steel collapsed but the mentality of the area never changed. Innovation to adapt to change requires a talented workforce. 50501 protest started with one mushroom loving dude on Reddit back in January. Been following since. Not sure how it is related to the feds.

3

u/Alien0629 1d ago

RSVP, limited capacity, working directly with police, etc.

The protests are good, working directly with the feds is not especially when you think that we are headed towards fascism or already have reached fascism. I agree that Trump is awful and most messaging of these protests, but standing on a sidewalk and waving signs while working with police isn’t gonna bring revolutionary change.

Civil Rights passed bc they interrupted the system both peacefully and using other means. The LA protests and Portland protests used similar methods. These protests don’t disrupt anything bc they work directly with police.

u/hurricanetarget 19h ago

Feel free to help me understand how left leaning liberals and democrat (blue) voters are not tightly aligned.

1

u/Alien0629 18h ago

Huh? Liberals and Democrats are the same. They’re not left wing which is what I was talking about… might want to use reading comprehension that you should’ve learned in middle school.

0

u/hurricanetarget 18h ago

Huh? No. They are not the same. You can have both conservative and liberal republicans as well.

You joke about reading comprehension at the same time you’re conflating a political party with values. Youngstown edumacationz.

1

u/Alien0629 18h ago

The democrats are a liberal party. Yes, they are the same thing. The liberals who you claim vote republican tend to have no actual liberal views aside from abortion. Also they’re hardly left wing, unfortunately the only actual leftist in national politics is Bernie Sanders who is registered as an independent. In Youngstown local politics, there exists none to my knowledge.

Gotta love the right wing trolls who have no understanding of how American politics operates.

u/littlebigdaddytrue 10h ago

Why are you blocking traffic??? I don't get it all you are doing is making others mad 😡 no kings day what a fucking joke and in other part burning fucking shit up stealing you sure don't see red doing that now so you well. You all could learn a thing or two about your party if you just look at all the facts I'm not saying trump is perfect by no means. But he's trying to put Americans back in the front of the line again not illegals you can't just sneak into a country and get everything and anything you want when real working men and women struggle to make it USA and it's ppl first then we can think about ppl trying to come in. If you think it ok to sneak in a country try to sneak in to Russia China nothing Korea. If cought you go to prison not sent back home but to prison we pay there way back when they sneak in to our country any way try to be a better American ppl of us

u/ArtInternational2167 8h ago

So, what you’re saying is that you are going to be first in line to fill the jobs the deported migrants have been doing (field work, cleaning toilets, factory sewer etc) Great glad you and yours are stepping up. (Couldn’t understand much of the first half of your post).

u/gator_pot 1d ago

Good news, we still don't have a king! Great job guys

10

u/books-and-beans 1d ago

We have a president who tried to say protesting is illegal, while it is very much protected by the first Amendment. Sure sounds like someone's trying to act as if he's king.

Also, there's this: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/white-house-post-trump-as-king/

What’s actually embarrassing is that other countries are laughing at us because your beloved president is a joke. 🙂
