Is this the man the Left said is relevant?

This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue.

Agreed. Yet another sad sack of a boogeyman.
Bucko, our current PRESIDENT is a sad sack of a boogeyman. It don't seem to really stop them from making life massively worse for us.
Your side can blame itself for Trump.
No, we really can't. I didn't force ya'll at gunpoint to vote for him in the primaries, and then in the main election, and then use mind control devices to compel the GOP congress to fall in lock-step with the plans of a reality TV star.
Dude, why do you even bother? Slash lives in a fantasy world where his anger that people other than white guys are agitating for better treatment isn't HIS fault, but the fault of all those people who want to be treated equally. He's not going to debate in good faith, he's not interested in rational discussion, and you won't change his mind, so why even try?

Your side's cultural dominance, the shrinking of the Overton window and witch hunts did.

The keyboard warrior there is intentionally cast as a pathetic person who shouldn't be typing on the Internet. Don't be like him. Go out and join a get out to vote drive. Do what I did and sign up to vote by mail so you remember to do it. Whatever it takes.

Yes, it's pathetic, but it also speaks to an emotional reality.

I'm registered to vote and ready to vote.

@Slash Your side controls the government. If that upsets you, then go call your elected officials and ask them to get off their lazy butts and bring about that right-leaning change you seem to want so much.

Some of it can happen fast some of it will be slow. One man cannot really make that giant of a difference unless is in a position of power.

i started giving away money for movies in a more consistent way that does not reward left wing preaching. i will think about what else i can do.

The real power is in the control of the government, who controls and enforces the laws, and that's, again, your side.

The media decides how that is interpreted.

The media only shapes how people think. It's up to the people on whether or not to vote left or right.
