The grifting continues....

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I just don't understand the alternate reality that republicans are living it. It's increasingly disconnected from our reality month by month.

Grift?

Whatever could you mean?

It's not a good grift unless you throw in some religious Wingnuttery.....oh, wait.

This may be the most effective deterrent yet.

If I was crossing the border and saw this shit I'd think twice about where I'm going.

Poorly educated dim-witted Whites cannot face their individual and collective failure, so they are vulnerable to anyone who puts forth an 'other' to blame. Wimps.

It's got to be more than education. I mean yeah, education plays its part... but it has got to be more.

Agreed. I also called them "dim-witted", cowardly, twice, and gullible.

Along with the factors already mentioned, I'd add loss of respect for the institution of government. When you start thinking that everybody is stupid, crooked, incompetent, and out to screw you, you lose the ability to distinguish between even broad good and evil. If you apply false equivalencies to everything, just quit thinking. Remember Reagan - "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help." It's a short distance from there to "government shut-down is good" or "let's tear it all down."

It's even worse:

I heard they were pretty upset when they got there and realized there wasn't an invasion. Made lots of money baptizing people though.

Couldn’t they have used the river? I heard that there’s one along the border.

I spent a summer on a dairy farm as a tween, and owned a milk-producing nanny goat as a young adult. Ftr, I've also engaged with Moonies a time or two, though I've never milked one. I prefer livestock overall :wave:

Can't get to it - razor wire trumps god. Opps :lol:

Not Moonies, or even Mooonies ;) , nor racist caravaners, but I stumbled on this, billy.pilgrim:
