  1.  @milfordcivic6755  Exactly. I grew up poor in a red state but was smart enough to realize that Republicans wanted to take everything away that would help me escape poverty. The dumb ones never come to this realization and don't change their minds.

  2. It's their favorite book that they never read. Eventually reading the Bible cover to cover is what made me an atheist. Reading the Bible for yourself is the first step to losing your faith in the Bible.

  3. Most Trump supporters are made up of old people and the uneducated. 😂

  4. At least it wasn't oil money from the drill baby drill party. The oil industry is so lame and ridiculous!

  5. Why is the United States the only developed nation with religious extremists in it? Food for thought.

  6.  @carycunningham9510  Not sure. Maybe some hackers can hack the police departments webpage or something. Or an angry mob can start attacking cops.

  7. The right's fear of socialism is both stupid and pathetic. As well as misplaced.

  8. Probably for much the same reason talk radio is dominated by conservatives and The Thom Hartmann Program can't be heard locally in most cities and towns. The elite pay for propaganda and not the voice of reason. Thank you Thom for being the voice of reason.

  9.  @dermotmcglinchey282  They're actually not. The most vile people alive today are probably people we've never even heard of. Putin and Trump are merely the most vile people with money and power.

  10. Not true.

  11. We've learned that they'll off themselves if we tell them vaccines are scary and masks are for sissies. I think biowarfare against conservatives is in order.

  12. That's irrelevant. Besides, the person living under a bridge needs to move out of the expensive big city and move to a small town where things are affordable.

  13. You should look at the political beliefs of flat earthers because over 90 percent of flat earthers are conservative Christians. Most flat earthers polled consider themselves very religious and conservative leaning. Do if you're a conservative, Flat Earthers are your own! Stop mocking your own people! Own them! They're yours. 😂

  14. Libertarianism is naive. If it was ever implemented we'd be living in a world that was a combination of Blade Runner and Mad Max. Complete anarchy. Complete rule by powerful corrupt institutions and corporations with their own agendas.

  15. Hmmm.... Maybe American conservative Christians are the problem considering how pro-Putin they are.

  16. They've shown that people in red states tend to die at younger ages. Texas wants to become Mexico economically. They just don't realize it.

  17. Right wing terrorists outnumber left wing ones. The right wing has Timothy McVeigh, Jared Lee Loughner, the delusional PizzaGate shooter, the January 6th Capitol Rioters, pretty much every synagogue and mosque shooter, etc, etc, etc. Endless people who you can list by name. How many left wing terrorists can you list by name, I wonder? Whose list would come out longer? I realize this argument doesn't change minds but it's food for thought. Political beliefs are like religious beliefs. Only a small percentage of people change their political beliefs.

  18. Republicans are fearful and yet most get offended when I use this emoji. 😨😨😨 Same dumb scared look the Nazis have in Wolfenstein 3D. Haha!

  19. ​ @adlucem9845 98% of scientists support the Democratic party and the less educated don't. I'll let you figure out why that might be. Maybe ignorance is bliss???

  20. ​ @davidabrinton Speaking of ignorance, I wonder if conservatives are the same types who burned down the Library of Alexandria on purpose. We know they like to ban books. Same animal, different century?

  21. The only way to really defeat the Republican party is to flood swing states and red states with Democrat voters and turn red districts purple making gerrymandering nearly impossible to the point where gerrymandering politicians start pulling their hair out.

  22. Atheists should start a war with right wing Christians. A war with guns and bombs and everything. They're gonna start a war with us anyway eventually, so we atheists may as well do a preemptive strike against them.

  23. Agree. This is the one time I condone xenophobia and telling people to buy property in their country and get out of ours.

  24. I hate to say it but at this point it will take another world war to solve our corporate greed problem.

  25. You're talking about a political ideology that 1) was never progressive, and 2) hasn't existed within the Democratic party since the 1960s

  26. They didn't tell us this is school but one reason the New Deal was passed under FDR is because the wealthy businessesmen were genuinely frightened of a communist revolution. They're no longer frightened of that and that's why they screw over workers as much as possible now. Plus much of FDR's New Deal was gutted by both George W. Bush and Bush Senior when they were in office.

  27. If you're a conservative, you take the biblical literalists who say the Earth is only 6000 years old seriously. But climate change is ridiculous to them?

  28. Not only will I say it, I'll make it rhyme. F*ck Trump in the rump!

  29. Yup. Reverse Robin Hood and the Opposite of Jesus Christ's message. I must have missed the part of the Bible where Jesus praised the wealthy and demanded they be untaxed.

  30.  @Daniel_LLLLLL  Jesus would be fine with taking it since he once a told a wealthy man to give up all his wealth and follow him. Besides, the wealthy are guilty of rigging the system and the banks so Jesus would in his wrath want to punish them like he punished the money changers in the temple. He would want them to be taxed more as punishment for their ill gotten gains.

  31.  @Daniel_LLLLLL  And if you believe he's coming back he will punish them at his Second Coming. They will regret being born and pray for death when he's through with them.

  33. That's why we should deal with people who are willing to pay obscene rent prices. Send an angry mob to their doors to threaten them if they don't join the renters strikes. If they have a high paying job try to get them fired so they won't be able afford their rent anymore and will be forced to strike.

  34. I noticed that things changed for the better in Europe after the Black Death. So is something we can do. We can release a pandemic plague on the rich. Biological warfare.

  37. @Bill-g7d  It didn't. You had no argument.

  38. It isn't coming. Don't hold your breath. This country couldn't even give Trump jail time. Oligarchs like him are above the law apparently.

  39. The federal minimum wage will never be above $7.25 an hour. The Republicans won on minimum wage and will continue to keep it low. Even Biden has given up on raising it.

  40. The reason mental illness ison the rise is because housing costs too much.

  41. Shifting the tax burden away from the rich and onto you and me is the Republican way. Democrats need to shout that from the rooftops if they want more votes.

  42. I'm not a huge Biden fan but Trump's authoritarianism and the ignorance of his supporters terrifies me. I once heard someone say a Trump dictatorship would be the dumbest, most r*dneck hillbilly dictatorship in history. I'm not ready for that. Vote Biden!

  43. Rising inequality inevitably leads to fascism. Wealth redistribution to the poor and middle class is the only solution.

  44. The ignorant, close minded rural country bumpkins need their vote because the enlightened, open minded and often better educated city dwellers won't vote for them.

  45.  @nakedreef  I disagree. Psychologically torturing people by getting their moms mad at them can be funny. If Hitler's mom hadn't died she would have beat the shit out of her son for becoming a dictator.

  46. Takes one to support one? And they call liberals snowflakes. The irony.

  47. Most talk radio stations don't carry his show either. I wonder why. Radio is dominated by right wing corporate shills. It's really too bad.

  48. Somehow I don't really feel bad for a suicide cult that murdered liberals and Jews. Good riddance to brainwashed rubbish. If World War 2 taught us anything it's that gullibility is the most dangerous character flaw.

  49. Anybody who goes anywhere with AR15 is looking for trouble.

  50. I blame the victims who are decieved psychopaths. How dumb do you have to be to be tricked by Donald Trump? Anyone that gullible deserves to be conned.
