Once upon a time we had the Row Boat Opening Day party at the Rainier Beach Yacht Club. A fat chick wanted to defile me. I said no. -

Different time. Different technology. Back then people were educated in the concept of a representative republic and didn't waste brain cells on the minutia of the day. As long that the 10 solids guaranteed by the Constitution were upheld, nobody felt the burn (SWIDT) to hold an opinion de jour or protest every fucking thing.YellowSnow said:
Only whacko lefties hated Reagan. He never dipped below 50% approval and left office at 73%. I get that it's a different country now, but Trump will never touch these numbers.RaceBannon said:So far Trump results are not bad
And that's what matters
Reagan was hated just as much but delivered as well
The outcomes under Trump haven't been horrible thus far- i.e., no bumbling into war and good economy (albeit juiced by $1 trillion stimulus). -
Once the whining, protest everything generation starts making money, their fake, spineless politics will disappear like a fart in the wind. Starving and fucking ugly fat girls who wear all black can only last so long.PurpleThrobber said:

Thanks Democrats, for all you do for America. Accidentally.
If they have made only one smart calculation it's that no Democratic candidate is going to pull from Trump's base. Their target is (or should be) the middle.
Whether anyone likes hearing it or not, Trump has engendered loyalty in his base that is difficult for any other current politician to match. There's not much he could do to alienate that group ... certainly not this shit show.
I used to believe the whole left-wing/overthrow the government/radical stuff was tinfoil. It is becoming more and more apparent there is a very large segment of the left who want nothing more than total upheaval of the system. Trump is simply the current useful idiot who is emboldening them to hasten that strategy.
Which is somewhat where we agree -Trump's "base" isn't going anywhere. Let's lock it in at 35 to 40%. That's a BIG number to put on the scoreboard at kickoff.
But again, that's why I don't think the *real* leftists want to win in 2020. Another four years of disunity and chaos and fuck all is just another 4 years of OK Boomers dying off and cancel culture indoctrination on the nation's campuses. -

The conservative populist (happy @YellowSnow ?) view of the world is that the establishment Republicans and the left want to keep things exactly as they are, which includes unfettered access to cheap labor vis a vis immigration, keep the administrative state/permanent political class entrenched in DC so that they can manipulate things as they wish, continue whoring out to Wall Street and managing the globe as the world's mall cop. It is they (conservative populism) that want to tear up the system with a blitzkrieg approach. Bannon often describes Trump as an incredibly imperfect instrument for this movement, but also as an "armor piercing shell".
Give him a listen. He's done some very good Frontline interviews and they're easily found on youtube. And of course any good review of how Breitbart came to be gives a good background on this.
I'd say, sure, there is an element of the far, far, far left (antifa left) who want to watch the world burn. But those guys are not too distinct from Bannon and the other architects of this movement. They mean to turn things up aggressively ... he's said more than once that his one regret was that he wasn't tougher during his 8 mos. in the WH and didn't fight harder against Jarded and Ivanka and the other "soft" people on the staff. The philosophical basis for this new populism is very aggressive, make no mistake about that.
I think they're right ... Pelosi and that crowd are more "keep things the way they are". And why not? They've benefited greatly from the current system.
Look, my loathing of Trump doesn't equate thinking we didn't need a course correction on the bipartisan, establishment consensus of the past 30 years on China, immigration and the nation building in shit hole countries. Rather that Trump wasn't the right guy for being the swamp drainer we need. He's far to clumsy and needs to read How To Win Frens and Influence People .
All this bitterness over one vote. -
As Ann Coulter likes to use in her many interviews --- he's no brain surgeon, and Lord yes, if we could build the perfect candidate we'd like to have somebody who can string two sentences together, but he's the only Republican who was "smart enough to pick up the $1,000 bill just lying there on the sidewalk."RaceBannon said:

He was the one that promised to act and has tried to do so. Chip Kelley was rude to boosters. They were glad when the nice Helfrich came in
I think that's pretty correct. I also think he's built for this movement, which requires to varying degrees a guy who will just say anything. When you have that guy, he's going to say shit that is over-the-top and occasionally stupid; but you still need him to say the other shit that a lot of people are afraid to say, so that's why you need him.

It is true that anyone who cares or pretends to care enough to protest hasn’t had any actual fun in their lives. It’s a waste of time and never accomplishes anything.PurpleThrobber said:

The hate was real.
Many, in my opinion, at this age are fucking stupid. I was in the many, and stayed in the "many" for a long tim after college. Takes a while for that shit to wear off. Sadly, my late 20 year old daughter has been dipped in this same stench and I know she won't see her way out of it for probably another 10-15 years.
I didn't listen to my profs at UW and voted for Bob Dole.
Which makes my heart hurt for today's youth and what they are missing out on while outraging and protesting.
There are retards on both sides. It’s not that hard to have common sense and be a generally good person. The religious whackos, the lib whackos, and the group think ruin the country. It doesn’t matter who is president, outrage culture is here to stay for awhile. Social media feeds it and gives these retards a place to band together.
