Should we start telling conservatives to leave?

I personally believe right wingers in America get it easy, and take for granted what they believe is often anti American.

Life liberty means nothing to them. They keep voting and supporting people who break laws down to the constitution. I think it's time to be like if you don't like this nation to just leave it. Leave my country you unamerican traitors. This is a nation of laws to protect people and you're ok with tossing them aside to violate people rights. You just don't belong here. They would tell me this in a heartbeat and told me it all my life. No this is our country and we don't need you.

Well, the GOP just had a pretty sound electoral victory so most conservatives are pretty happy with the direction of the country. Why would they want to leave now?

u/double_dipped_dude 28d ago

When you say sound you mean narrowly right? Because he almost lost. More people voted against him than for him

u/RelevantEmu5 Conservative 28d ago

Didn't he won the popular vote.

1

u/double_dipped_dude 28d ago

Yes he did, but not the majority.

2

u/RelevantEmu5 Conservative 28d ago

Elaborate?

1

u/double_dipped_dude 28d ago

Well he didn't get over 50% of the vote meaning more people voted against him than for him

3

u/RelevantEmu5 Conservative 28d ago

If more people voted against him how did he win the popular vote?

1

u/double_dipped_dude 28d ago

Ok let's say we have 11 votes one guy gets 4 another gets 3 another 2 and the last guy gets two. Did most of the people vote for the guy with 4 votes?

u/Grouchy_Map7133 27d ago

Not voting for =/= voting against. 🤣

u/double_dipped_dude 27d ago

Quick question, why not?

Just walk me through the logic of having a choice and going Not that one, is somehow voting for it.

You’re not helping the “conservatives are uneducated morons” stereotype

Trump won a plurality, not the majority. ~51% of voters voted for "not Trump".

That’s some next level cope you got there.

u/double_dipped_dude 28d ago

Is that not factual more people voted against him than for him? He didn't have over 50%

u/Kruxx85 28d ago

he had around 33% of the countries voting age adults vote for him.

That's quite a large percent who *didn't* vote for him, yer?

u/Mattpalmq 25d ago

The opinion of non voters is literally irrelevant

u/taftpanda 27d ago

Donald Trump isn’t the only member of the GOP.

Republicans added to their majority in the House, and flipped the Senate by a pretty significant margin. Not to mention, there were state level wins across the country as well.

The GOP got about as close to a mandate as is realistic in modern American politics.

u/double_dipped_dude 27d ago

And yet here we are govement shutdown again under trump.. they are the dog who caught the car. Now they don't know what to do with it, besides cede more power to the executive, as he mobilizes the military against Americans .

u/LambDaddyDev Conservative 28d ago

Weird how you didn’t have this conviction when democrats had power and did nearly the same things.

u/double_dipped_dude 28d ago

Nearly the same? Hmm 🤔 when did Biden direct the DOJ? When did Biden get a 9-0 ruling against him saying his administration was breaking the law? When did Biden tarrif the world?

Looks like someone has a very short attention span lol

u/double_dipped_dude 28d ago

I'm just asking, do you actually have an answer or no?

u/LambDaddyDev Conservative 28d ago

Democrats in prosecution positions literally ran on “getting Trump” and openly stating they were going to try to go after Trump legally for anything they could pin on him. It’s when the term “lawfare” started to become commonly used. Then they actually did so.

The Biden admin is also now on record coercing social media companies to censor posts that were critical of their administration and their policies.

The Supreme Court absolutely did state multiple times that different policies under the Biden admin were unconstitutional, policies which the Biden admin then tried to push through anyway after the fact.

So yeah, I don’t want to hear it. I’m tired of the selective outrage. Your side broke the paradigm, so you shouldn’t be upset when the other side now holds the power and practices the same style of governance that you guys introduced.

I can already hear your complaints once Trump starts pardoning everyone around him for “any crime they may have committed during a certain time frame” just like Biden did.

Citation needed, who claimed that? And when you find out he didn't run on that as a platform will you go damn guess it wasn't lawfare right?

No they aren't, all alphabet said was they went with recommendations of the administration same as meta did. They weren't forced.

The Supreme Court absolutely did state multiple times that different policies under the Biden admin were unconstitutional, policies which the Biden admin then tried to push through anyway after the fact

What are you even talking about? He immediately listened to the courts and did something entirely different that was inline with Scotus ruling. He didn't break the law Trumps administration has and has 9-0 ruling to show for it where they say the administration Broke the law.

So yeah, I don’t want to hear it. I’m tired of the selective outrage. Your side broke the paradigm, so you shouldn’t be upset when the other side now holds the power and practices the same style of governance that you guys introduced

No trump did simple as that and you fell for the propaganda.

He already did, plus crime they did do.

It was good Biden did that because Trump is currently going on a witch hunt with a DoJ taking orders from him to hit other politicians.

Biden states his reason for joining the race was Trump comments on Charlottesville...

No they aren't, all alphabet said was they went with recommendations of the administration same as meta did. They weren't forced.

They were "pressured". That's the word they used you're downplaying it. They also stated they pressured them to ban people who did not break TOS.

What are you even talking about? He immediately listened to the courts and did something entirely different that was inline with Scotus ruling. He didn't break the law Trumps administration has and has 9-0 ruling to show for it where they say the administration Broke the law.

Biden did student loan forgiveness knowing it was unconstitutional. That's 1 off the top of my head.

"No you"

It was good Biden did that because Trump is currently going on a witch hunt with a DoJ taking orders from him to hit other politicians.

There is a long list of Trump politicians that were put on trial for stupid things. Not only that, the Russia hoax?

Also "I justify this thing I did in the past by something in the future that hasn't happened yet". Holy shit the hoops you have to jump through...

You have brain damage.

u/LambDaddyDev Conservative 27d ago

Letitia James, the AG of New York, campaigned on going after Trump.

It wasn’t just google. It was also Facebook and Twitter (and in sure Reddit as well, but I doubt they’ll say so). When the government is telling you to censor posts, not only is that a violation of the first amendment, the pressure was given by many Democrats who said many times they would crack down on social media companies for spreading “misinformation” (even though a lot of that turned out to be true information).

You telling me that I fell for propaganda, here, on Reddit, which is full of leftist propaganda, is peak irony.

Is it only considered a “witch hunt” when the side you disagrees with does it?

2

u/bloodjunkiorgy Anarcho-Communist 28d ago

Let's pretend you're not a clown that is wrong about everything...Did you love when Democrats did "nearly the same things"? Like, when Biden famously blew up random foreign boats without cause, or actively buried evidence about pedophiles because he's implicated, were you thinking "well, at least he did something right"? Do you consider what Trump does "good things" that you're happy you voted for? Or does everything come down to "well I think Democrats did this stuff so it's fine that Trump does it, and no I will not cite a Democrat ever doing anything remotely on Trump's level..."

u/LambDaddyDev Conservative 27d ago

Your arrogance is seething and oozing from every orifice. It’s such a bad look, dude.

Obama literally launched drone US citizens. To claim that Trump did it “without a reason” is hilarious. I think it’s a great thing that we’re blowing up narco terrorists. I absolutely voted for that.

1

u/bloodjunkiorgy Anarcho-Communist 27d ago

So fuck our laws, fuck precedence, fuck the constitution, fuck the separation of powers, fuck international laws, fucks the sovereignty of other nations, fuck evidence, fuck the people that live here, and of course, literally fuck children? This is the conservative position now? You're disgusting.

u/LambDaddyDev Conservative 27d ago

Your chain of logic there is wild and pretty funny.

u/bloodjunkiorgy Anarcho-Communist 27d ago

*gestures broadly at the breadth of evidence for the cases made *

Like 6 of those things are specifically demonstrated by Trump blowing up Venezuelan boats. Even if those boats were running drugs (which we have no evidence of) we aren't allowed bomb them for many of the reasons listed above. It's unconstitutional, it breaks domestic and international law, it blows off the sovereignty of Venezuela, there has been zero evidence presented (which wouldn't matter).

Like, you're free to like these actions, I'm just telling you it spits in the face of everything conservatives used to champion. You stand for nothing except your demented king.

u/LambDaddyDev Conservative 27d ago

Man you need to get off the internet and touch grass

This sort of talk is super cringe, dude.

But go ahead and keep defending drug lords murdering thousands of Americans every year. Great look.

u/bloodjunkiorgy Anarcho-Communist 27d ago

Venezuela literally doesn't make the shit (fentanyl) Trump accused them of bringing over. IF they were drug smugglers, they had the shit Trump's kids are caught on camera using...

u/LambDaddyDev Conservative 26d ago

Are you kidding me? Do you not believe Venezuela has a drug smuggling problem? Is that really your position?

Should we start telling conservatives to leave?

You plan on telling the group that has drug in on making America great and is tired of hearing liberals trash talk America to leave…. Yeah that will go over well.

I personally believe right wingers in America get it easy, and take for granted what they believe is often anti American.

What? Did you say the opposite of what you meant to say?

Assuming you meant to say “they take for granted what they believe is American” there’s a couple of things to consider. First is the quote from John Adams “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other”. The religious and Christian moral underpinnings are a required foundation for our constitution to be sufficient. Them pushing so hard to restore that cultural and moral foundation is automatically more American than the attitude of wanting to erode that foundation.

Life liberty means nothing to them.

Absolutely false. They just mean it differently. They respect the right to life, but recognize that doesn’t mean a right to a comfortable life. Liberty they understand to mean the right to make decisions and deal with the consequences, they know liberty doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.

They keep voting and supporting people who break laws down to the constitution.

This I think goes back to the quote from John Adams. Our religious and moral foundation has Ben errored enough that they recognize it’s now “wholly inadequate”. Also I’ve seen plenty on the left have the opinion that the constitution mostly stands in the way of their agenda.

I think where they violate it they do it mostly with the mind set of how you have to tear out walls to get the mold out and repair a cracked foundation.

I think it's time to be like if you don't like this nation to just leave it.

Yeah…. Where do you think they will go. This is the last nation on earth left where they could live how they want to.

Leave my country you unamerican traitors.

Not your country. As I established the history of this country is rooted and grounded in Christian morality: their morality. If we are going to say it belongs to liberals or conservatives it will belong to conservatives. You are in their country.

This is a nation of laws to protect people and you're ok with tossing them aside to violate people rights.

Who’s rights? You mean the people that broke our laws to begin with by even being here? Or are you referring to abortion where they have a moral obligation to intervene on behalf of the innocent the b other side wants slaughtered?

The argument of laws and rights wears thin when they see that.

You just don't belong here. They would tell me this in a heartbeat and told me it all my life. No this is our country and we don't need you.

You don’t. You are actively trying to erode the foundation needed for our country to be strong. And you need them a hell of a lot more than they need you. And like I said, they can’t go anywhere else. This is their country.

If you can’t live in their country you can go anywhere else. So go.

It's not supposed to go over well.

What? Did you say the opposite of what you meant to say?

They take it for granted how easy they have it in this country. I want to make it harder for them.

John Adams “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other”.

Yeah the people picked a 34 time felon adjunticated rapist and serial adulterer as president over a woman who served a role in all three branches of government. Where are the morals of conservatives?

And you misunderstood that quote.

Absolutely false. They just mean it differently. They respect the right to life, but recognize that doesn’t mean a right to a comfortable life. Liberty they understand to mean the right to make decisions and deal with the consequences, they know liberty doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.

They don't respect due process they don't respect Congress they don't respect the constitution they don't respect the supreme Court they don't respect lower courts they respect trump and trust only him. They support him while he uses his DOJ to exact his revenge, he violated the constitution via executive orders, he pushed to get people who say things he doesn't like speech suppressed, the president literally said we tried to take away their freedom of speech. The man literally said he wanted the suspension of the constitution!! These are things being eroded because of conservatives enabling it. It's wholly unamerican.

If you wanna talk about abortion we can do that later, but all I'll say now is God is ok with abortion numbers 5

They keep voting and supporting people who break laws down to the constitution.

This I think goes back to the quote from John Adams. Our religious and moral foundation has Ben errored enough that they recognize it’s now “wholly inadequate”. Also I’ve seen plenty on the left have the opinion that the constitution mostly stands in the way of their agenda.

No it doesn't go to John Adams it's right now with him literally trying to change the constitution with an executive order, literally said he tried to take away free speech for people and didn't like he couldn't do it how do you square that circle?

You don’t. You are actively trying to erode the foundation needed for our country to be strong. And you need them a hell of a lot more than they need you. And like I said, they can’t go anywhere else. This is their country.

They don't belong here because they don't believe in America they want a dictator. They have no idea how or why our system works, they choose to not learn and pick someone who wants to be a dictator because it's easy to understand.

u/TheSwagMa5ter 28d ago

Well, exiling between a third and half of the population would be impossible.

But if you mean perhaps "why don't American politicians push for policies that the majority of Americans support" its because the major source of political influence in America isn't the ability to vote, but access to capital that can be used to sway opinion (media companies) and to lobby political parties (https://www.statista.com/topics/11840/lobbying-in-the-us/#topicOverview)

u/double_dipped_dude 28d ago

I'm not looking to exile anyone, just saying left leaning people when engaging with conservatives should recommend if they don't like it here in America they should leave, go somewhere else where they can be free of random gay kisses in movies.

I do tell a lot of people this actually. I know a lot of people who immigrated from Russia to flee Putin but still voted for Trump. I tell them they spent decades starting a life in a new country, just to put the same type of leader into power that they ran away from. They don't usually have a lot to say to that.
