They've bought into the conspiracy theory that the Trump Nazis under Donald J. Hitler are planning to round them all up and place them in concentration camps where they'll be forcefully converted into Christian MAGA supporters. Man - it's so quiet that no one is around scream for that ☝️to be "Fact Checked." Unlike the Left, when most of us label something a "conspiracy theory" we are joking in a satirical manner. Like now. A real progressive would scream to have articles by the Babylon Bee "fact checked." These poor people can't grasp satire unfortunately. Breathe a sigh of relief progressives - DJT nor MAGA has no interest is "rounding you up and tossing you into concentration camps" simply for holding progressive views. See, that's the part of conservatism you completely misunderstand: We don't want to be in your business any more than we want you in our business. Live and let live.

Why Kamala Harris Lost: The Challenges of a Complex Campaign
connda replied to Social Media's topic in World News
The Democrat Party put a losing horse in the race and expected a win because they believed they controlled the management of the race-track. And it was a "Selection." No mandate to run by primary, no mandate to run by vote in an open convention. The Democrats are going to have to reexamine who they are. Want of "woman of color" in the White House? Had they backed Tulsi Gabbard they probably would be celebrating right now. Instead? Harris is having a Hillary Clinton November 2016 moment, and for all the same reasons, and Gabbard has bailed from the Democrat party and joined the Republican Party. My guess is that like myself, people like Jimmy Dore, and other Classic Liberals who in the past were left of center, her values now more align with Republican conservatism, and she still wants to be in politics and being an Independent is a dead-end. I don't have any political aspiration so I'll remain an independent. So what went wrong? Start with Jim Carville's 1992 quote during the Clinton campaign: "It's The Economy, Stupid," and work from there. It's also endless wars, corporate welfare while average Americans suffer, billions sent to countries overseas while American infrastructure and social safety nets collapse, health care costs through the roof, and the fact that most Gen-Zs will never own a home in this obscenely expensive housing market and even affording rent is becoming a burden for most. Something has got to give, and the present Administration's hyperbole about how wonderful the economy is just got a "Thumb's Down" by Democrat-leaning voters who know that it's all 'Bravo-Sierra." The Democrat party needs to divest itself of all the far-left progressive whiners and "haters of all thing conservative," move back toward the political center, and stop ignoring their base while lavishing billions on corporate stakeholders and foreign interests who pour hundreds of millions of that same money back into the pockets of politicians who no longer give a good God-da*m about their own base. Well - actions have consequences. Perhaps by 2028 the Democrat Party can re-invent itself as a true liberal party with true liberal values who actually work for the benefit of their base. In this picture..... ....they seriously need to move back to this: 👇 -
A Paedophile Was Living Nearby, So I Had To Warn Neighbours
connda replied to Social Media's topic in World News
A Paedophile Was Living Nearby, So I Had To Warn Neighbours That's a good way to get thrown into prison on Criminal Defamation charges here in Thailand. If someone is really a pedophile and you're got proof, work with the proper authorities. If you go off claiming someone is a pedophile in public here in Thailand, you may find yourself in prison instead of the other way around. -
You don't want anyone's used computer. There are many inexpensive new computers that can be bought either online or via a computer store in CM. You can go to one of the smaller computer shops, and buy the case, motherboard, processor, and memory that fits your requirements and have them assemble it. Try Computer Plaza or one of the other shops on the North end of the moat.

What Americans Want and why Democrats Failed
connda replied to NickyLouie's topic in Political Soapbox
There are places where we don't agree, but you strike me as more of a classic liberal and intelligent. You see the problems too. I was a classic liberal and a Democrat in the past. And this meme I have posted before rings true. Demonizing average Democrats accomplishes nothing either. Far-left progressives? There's one of the problems. I agree with you. The Democrat Party apparatus needs to be dismantled and reassembled. It would be nice to see it go back to embracing true liberal values - anti-war, pro-peace, respect for human rights, pro-immigration (legally though the front door just like we do here in Thailand), pro-social-safety-nets, and and pro-checks-and-balances toward predatory capitalism. Personally I voted for Jill Stein and I didn't want to see Trump win, I wanted to see the Democrat machine lose. Big difference. Now it's time to rebuild. I hope the Democrat party can peal off the progressive anchors-weight and disruptive elements from the party and begin a move back toward the center and back toward respect for classical liberal values. -

What Americans Want and why Democrats Failed
connda replied to NickyLouie's topic in Political Soapbox
I honestly wonder when the hatred inside of you is going to eventually manifest in health problems. I find it sad that you suffer from a perspective where you only can see Fascists, and Hitlers, and garbage, and deplorables to the right of you. And yours is a perspective that is echoed on the anger-torn Left. I am sorry, but I just don't understand it. No - Trump isn't "Hitler," MAGA aren't "Fascists," and conservative Americans are neither "garbage" or "deplorable." To invoke a Buddhist metaphor, you chose over and over again to pick up the red-hot coal of irrational hatred toward anyone to the right of your own world-views with the intention of harming them with your word - yet - you really only harm yourself in the end. You should try letting that enmity go and attempt to garner acceptance. It's four years and then there will be another election (two years for Congress) - the US democracy-machine keeps idling along in the US come war or peace, through thick or thin. Then you can support a candidate of your choice and toss your vote into the ring and may the whomever collects either the most votes (Congress) or electoral votes (Presidency) wins. Otherwise in the next four years you'll just eat yourself from the inside out. I wish you the best.- 268 replies

GO TRUMP GO - Saving the World from the Woke

We have lived with this type of hateful rhetoric from the Left for almost a decade. Let's not stoop to that level. We do not need to throw around vindictive statements, such as claiming the Left's candidates are "cowardly." My guess is that she, like Hillary Clinton, really thought that she was going to win. And like Clinton, she is emotionally devastated. She was never someone who was qualified to be in a position of power. She has now lost - let her finish out her stint as a VP, not selected based on qualifications but by a DEI algorithm concocted by the Left, then take her place as a permanent guests on shows like The View where she can wail and moan for the next 4 years in relative political irrelevance.

Why Donald Trump Could be a Major Challenge for the British Government

Keir Starmer and his ilk are turning the UK into a totalitarian hell-hole. Want to see what the US would have become under the Democrats? Look at the UK - the state is used as a hammer against its own citizens. -
Where's Harris' Concession speech?: Honey, I have a headache....
connda replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in Political Soapbox
Personally I'm quite happy if she just dissolves back into political obscurity and takes the doddering dementia patient with her. We can leave the constant hate speech to the Left's main-stream media which spent 2016 to 2021, up until the present, spewing absolute vitriol at Trump and all American conservatives. And worse, the Democrats led that chorus of hateful rhetoric from within the political and bureaucratic systems as well. So much hate and divisiveness in these people. I expect better from the Republicans and their conservative base, including MAGA supporters. It's time to attempt to heal the divides of our nation, and that is not accomplished thought vindictive talk and action. If crimes were committed over the last 4 years - prosecute those who committed crimes and were protected by a politicized DOJ, but do so without spewing hatred at the other half of the country. The rot within the Washington swamp needs to be excised this time around by the Trump administration. We conservatives do not need to drop to the level of progressives and liberal Democrats. There is no need to bad mouth average, liberal Americans most of whom like us are good people. We need to pull America up by its boot-straps and make America a prosperous, affordable place to live once more. And America for Americans, as well as those who are issued the visa and documentation to legally enter the US to seek their dreams with the rest of Americans. As Grace Slick said on a morning when Jefferson Airplane took the stage at Woodstock in 1969: "It's a new dawn!" Yeah - it's is a new dawn. -

No - actually I was surprised they let her run. I thought they'd nominate Michelle Obama or Hillery Clinton at the Democrat convention. I didn't expect that.
