The virus was and still is dangerous, but the vaccine made it more endemic and manageable (although there will always be variants). It was such a success, the people who fought it must now spend the rest of their lives trying to convince everyone else that they weren't played for fools by internet memes.2 points

How can you be so uncritical? It’s crystal clear that Fauci benefited from big pharma which has also worked hand in glove with governments to suppress legitimate criticism of vaccines and anti-covid measures. If you can’t see that basic reality and the critical importance of the questions raised about what the hell was happening throughout the pandemic, I don’t know how you can expect to be taken seriously. We saw the greatest suppression of our rights in our lifetimes and it lasted two and a half years, resulted in a form of martial law in Canada, and raised important questions about the transparency of our government and healthcare. Your dismissal of any thoughtful critique of what happened by reducing it to Chuds or other Trudeauesque rhetoric demonstrates why we have culture wars.2 points

Sadly, the ABIM today took medical licences away from these 2 frontline doctors who saved literally THOUSANDS of people before the jabs came out by using IVM, HCQ and other drugs. While bureaucrats who hadn't touched a patient in decades denied people antibiotics and even Tylenol. Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Paul Marik testified before the US Senate Subcommittee. Dr. Marik was having great success treating patients with high doses of IV vitamin C, as well, and then was forbidden to use it further. Vitamin C, people!!! These were the doctors in the trenches before the jabs came out, trying everything they could find to help people. But you dolts believed career bureaucrats who hadn't touched a patient in decades and who were getting huge kickbacks from Pfizer while denying the normal basic protocols for respiratory viruses, which KILLED THOUSANDS. Wake. The fuque. Up. You absolute bunch of m0r0ns.2 points

Well if you’re too stupid to understand things and need them spelled out for you here you go: The line that says “Vought continued, saying, “He’s been at our organization, he’s raised money for our organization, he’s blessed it. … He’s very supportive of what we do.” demonstrates that Trump’s been at their organization, he’s raised money for their organization, he’s blessed it. … He’s very supportive of what they do. The line where JD Vance promotes Project 2025 leader’s book demonstrates that he supports Project 2025 The line where 140 people involved with P2025 have close ties to Trump and served in his last administration demonstrates that Trump has close ties to P2025 The line that says Republicans call Trump’s move to distance himself from Project 2025 ‘preposterous’ demonstrates that Trump’s move to distance himself from Project 2025 is ‘preposterous’ And so on. It’s pretty self-explanatory But honestly if you’re that dumb and need that much explaining then my posts are only going to get longer My point has been explained quite clearly, unfortunately you often have trouble following the plot. So here it is spelled out for you Whether or not Trump officially and formally endorses P2025 or not, a Trump administration will end up enacting many P2025 policies. He clearly has endorsed the 140 people involved in it when they served in his last administration and will likely serve in his next one. The P2025 people are insisting publicly he’s on board and Trump’s disavowal of it has been vague, mild in its criticism, and self-contradictory. Sure he has. Look at his acrobatics on abortion. Since 2016 he’s claimed to be the staunchest anti-abortionist in the country. Then just recently he flip-flopped and said it should be up to individual states and Republicans running for election should stay silent on abortion if it’s going to cost them votes. He understands when ideas are unpopular it doesn’t mean you abandon them, you just don’t publicly endorse them and campaign on them. Trump doesn’t have to come out and publicly back P2025 or campaign on it in order for it to be implemented. He just has to sit back and let it happen once he appoints P2025 people to his cabinet and they start doing the things they’re currently promising to do What a bad analogy and faulty argument. A random assortment of people who happen to have similar private religious beliefs are not comparable to a specific group of Trump associates who have come together to publicly state that they expect to be appointed to the Trump administration and then publish a manifesto on how they will use those appointments to takeover the entire US government. And to state the Trump has privately supported them. BTW, Trump hasn’t disavowed the claim that he will appoint some or all of them to his government even now that their agenda is public. And if Trump hasn’t privately endorsed it like they claim why doesn’t he call them liars? He loves attacking people but he just can’t bring himself to criticize these people or even clarify if he will appoint any of them to his administration That’s a dead giveaway that he’s hiding something As I’ve said repeatedly now, Trump himself doesn’t necessarily have to believe in P2025, he only has to be willing to let the P2025 people carry out their agenda under his administration, at least as a compromise he’s willing to make to guarantee the support of certain conservative groups. Considering one of those agenda items is to completely purge the entire federal public service of independent and non-partisan professionals and replace them with diehard MAGA zealots and Trump loyalists whose pledge of loyalty is to Trump the man rather than the office of POTUS, it’s not likely that a known megalomaniac like Trump would be opposed. What’s bullshit? It’s a FACT that Trump has not called them liars, even though they claim he has privately endorsed them and he claims otherwise. It’s also a fact that Trump has not declared that he won’t appoint any of them to his next administration It’s also a fact that Trump had made contradictory claims, saying he hasn’t read it, but also saying that there are parts of it he likes and parts that he doesn’t like, which isn’t possible unless he’s read it Its also a fact that Trump lied and claimed not to know any of the P2025 people when in fact he knows nearly 150 of them Its also a fact that claiming not to know anything about it isn’t the same as criticizing it or denouncing it, which he hasn’t done Furthermore his claims to STILL not know anything about it even after all the P2025 furor is highly dubious. We know he’s by nature an intellectually incurious man but for him to claim he still hasn’t bothered to look in to something that’s become so controversial for his campaign is dubious He’s talking out of both sides of his mouth again, as he always does, so his followers can believe whatever version of reality suits them at the moment. Everyone who hasn’t drunk the MAGA kool-aid knows Trump’s a habitual liar whose words are absolutely worthless. So no, his vague and contradictory claims do not mean it’s end of story. LOL you just finished admitting that you didn’t know what my point was. Again, nobody is claiming Trump authored P2025 or that it’s his personal wish list. The point is that he clearly has had at least general awareness of it and at the very least is open to allowing it or elements of it to be implemented under his administration. Ample evidence of the above point has been provided. You simply suffer from severe confirmation bias where the only evidence you’ll accept is evidence that confirms your pre-existing beliefs. The only counter argument you’ve presented is citing the words of Trump, one of the most infamous political liars of all time Until Trump condemns P2025 and its authors in specific and unmistakable terms and vows to never rehire any of his 140 acolytes who are involved in it, he remains suspect.1 point

@Zeitgeist a good analogy is 9/11.. a topic which formed my opinions on the public sphere to a large degree. Again, the criticisms were largely tied to nefarious motives rather than a failure of vision prior to the event and tactical errors on the day of.

The food basket is real. No one can tell you that your food basket isn't the most important thing you own. Regardless of anything else, if your food basket is full, your government is doing one of the 3 main things right. Fairy tale politics is what you're trying to divert this to. You're trying to pretend that this election is about stopping Trump from becoming emperor lol. Myata: "Ignore the fact that Biden instigated a war in Ukraine, and that the ME is spiralling out of control, interest rates are sky high, the cost of food is making it hard for people to survive, that the border is wide open. the only thing you should care about right now is MY assertion that Trump is trying to end democracy." Does the FBI target Trump's opponents? Do they hatch fake kidnapping plots and then solve them as an October surprise, only to be busted for entrapment? Do they lie about things to protect Trump from the truth, right before an election? Has a shadow gov't been standing behind Trump, moving his lips, or is that Biden, and the de facto president: Mr. Teleprompter?" Does Trump use the IRS to target his political opponents? Does the TSA rummage through the underwear of Trump's political opponents at the airport? Does social media ban people for telling the truth, and call the truth "Russian disinformation"? Did Trump ever create any kind of gesundheitspass to discriminate against the unvaxed? Did Trump ever declare martial law to to stop BLM riots, which caused were incomparably violent and destructive compared to the Bouncy Castle Protests? Did Trump resort to calling all of the BLM protesters and rioters "racists and misogynists"? Shove your fairy tale politics, dummy. You don't have the first clue what you're talking about.1 point

Sure. And it's falling back to some old favorites for the dems. "EVERYONE WILL OWN A HOME" very popular with the voters - but it lead to the great recession in 2009. This is a scaled back version but its the same thing and it will absolutely impact home prices. It can't work other than very briefly up front - the market adjusts to it and prices go up "I"LL MAKE RICH CORPORATIONS PAY AND STOP MISTREATING YOU". they're not, she can't, but it plays well. "I'LL FIGHT INFLATION"! not by giving people money to buy homes you won't. That'll drive it up.1 point

Prices were up because of COVID, goofus. The disruption to production and supply chains (some of which still persists), the relief money chasing fewer goods, the extreme shock to the oil industry as people stopped driving (and subsequent price spike as people resumed driving), it all goes back to the pandemic. How do you still but understand basic market forces?1 point

You're right. But that's also a pretty good illustration of why the Supreme Court and the presidency matter. Even people who have the misfortune of living in Louisiana or Arkansas deserve to have their basic rights secured against an overreaching state or a tyrannical majority.1 point

Violated a court order, dress it up however you like he is not accused of violating any law against misgendering people. He was not accused of a hate crime. Its not an example of the things you say are happening. You're comparing transphobic people to slaves? That's fascinating. Lets see, both are about a powerless minority being mistreated by bigots. You're not on the side of this comparison that you think you are. Yes, I completely agree this is wrong if literally all they did is state that opinion. Slippery slope fallacy. You and others are choosing to elevate this fringe movement as the object of your constant political attacks. It will ultimately result in these gender identity concepts being more quickly normalized and accepted by society. Its not a cycle like that. As soon as conservatives normalize transgender dialogue, it will just be part of the culture. The cycle is that the same process keeps happening for hundreds of years for different ideas and groups seeking normalization and acceptance.1 point

It depends. If it's a result of a grown up responsible decision of the society, it could be the beginning point of a certain, much needed rethinking and renewal of democratic politics. And should, on the other hand, it choose to try the fairy tale option it should know and remember that it had the choice. So this conversation is important, not to the detriment of other important issues.1 point

I don't know your reality. Maybe you really won't be affected by the outcome of the presidential race, but you must realize that many people will be affected in profound and meaningful ways. The last time Trump was elected he nominated 3 Supreme Court justices hand picked by the Federalist Society to overturn Roe. Now half of the nation's reproductive rights are in jeopardy and in red states already lost. There are pregnant people suffering and dying because their doctors cannot intervene for fear of going to prison. His myriad abuses of power and outright criminality might not have affected you directly, but they certainly had a terribly corrosive effect on our government and society, undermining faith in the function of many important institutions and pushing social cohesion to the brink And while we used to take democracy for granted--the birthright of every American--it seems now that we need to recognize that it is fragile and just be protected. Trump tried to take that from all of us. There's a lot more on the line this election than marginal tax rates and foreign policy.1 point

Isn't it? Are you claiming that higher population growth rates don't cause inflation due to the housing shortage? Are you claiming that spending massive amounts of gov't money in the economy doesn't impact inflation? The banks and economists all say it's due to increasing population and gov't spending for the most part. The scotia noted in 2022 that a 3 percent decrease in spending would mean inflation could have been addressed without interest rate hikes. Are all the banks wrong too? THe world annks are saying due to the policies of Canada we will now underperform badly for FOURTY YEARS. Boy - imagine that mike. The banks, the economists, everyone in the whole world other than you and the self admitted alchoholic are wrong. Hmmmm.

What is truly ironic, is that you fail to comprehend that Milgram was influenced to conduct these experiments, in the wake of the Eichmann trails in Israel (1961), as it brought significant media attention to the role ordinary Germans played in the Holocaust. In case you were unaware, Germans were under leadership of the Nazis, a far right political party.1 point

You are a liar. Go to any medical professional (family Physician etc.) and they will refute your lame arguments. You have no idea what you are talking about. Nearly half of Canadians who died of COVID, never had a chance to be vaccinated, as they passed away in the first year of the pandemic (Spring 2021 or before). Vaccinations (especially people with more than one vaccination), reduced their chances of dying from COVID dramatically. Of course, any person who consults their family physician, medical professional, or simply calls health links could find that out today, rather than a delusional nutcase that gets all his answers from YouTube videos.1 point

This is a prime example of the mind of an extremist. Even though less than 10% of North Americans think like WCM, he identifies any opposing views as that of "Leftards" as there were no other option. Do you even read what you type? Most Canadians are in the middle of the political spectrum. That is typical of every Western society. The "left" that you speak of, is probably 5-10% of the population. To group everyone that opposes you as "the left" is intellectually lazy.1 point

Oh FFS the retreads are still at it. Here's what I will happily "admit' to. -I got 3 shots and never caught Covid. - No one I know who was vaxxed died from Covid or got sick from the vax - Everyone I know who was vaxxed and did get Covid barely got sick, it was like or less than a normal case of the flu - ALL the people who did die in this town were not or refused to get vaxxed _ the three people I know who "only" spent weeks in the ICU with tubes shoved down their throats remain as butt stubborn as you two and insist the vax didn't work anyway, the Doctors were all lying and they had something else more serious and remained off work for years because their Boss wouldn't let them back unvaxxed, not Trudeau. And all three are members of this stupid Evangelical Church that panders to SovCits, homophobes and bigots that hate Catholics and won't shop at the one grocery store as it's on the rez. The Mennonites in their 18th century clothes are more sane and open minded. -Canada with its high vaccination rate had 1/3 the deaths per capita as the USA which didn't.

Otherwise they would push us all around. F**k Trudeau for not sticking with the time tested "allow 1% of the current population- 400,000 to come in, and continue to prosper.
