Obesity and type 2 diabetes are not pre-existing conditions. We just shame people for the wrong things.

Low taxes, gun rights, closed borders

All overwhelmingly popular everywhere, right wing populism regularly wins elections globally

Because of this simple fact. We like the smell of our own farts and don’t want to smell others farts.

Not because of popularity.

64% of Americans believe gun laws should be more strict.
64% of Americans believe immigration rates should be increased or kept the same
60% of Americans believe that border wall construction should not continue
48% of Americans believe the federal taxation rate is fine

Right wing "populism" does not win because of actual populism.

I agree that the term “populism” doesn’t reflect the historical definition, but I’d also ask you to dig deeper into those polls. People say a lot of things when a certain answer is expected socially, then you go to family dinner and they tell you the Chinese should be made into batteries like in the matrix for what they’re doing to the Uighurs (my father said this, I died laughing)

It doesn't sound to me that your father would respond to a pollster saying that immigration rates are just fine.

There is an attempt to reroute this country towards something, but its not exactly "communism" as envisioned by marx.

Its more or less corporo-communism, and policy is constantly being reorgranized to consolidate power into the hands of a few megacorps, that arent even financially competitive with small business.

[...]

I could go on and on and on about the verious practices and sourcing agreement expectations when doing business with a company, but long story: short; there's all sorts of fuckery going on behind the scenes to consolidate and invalidate any other path but "corporate employee" in the US right now.

you are describing the form of government karl marx and vladimir lenin warned your forefathers capitalism would necessarily develop into. the "barbarism" part of "socialism or barbarism."

Just add Kosher.

Look at this guy posting poll results like it’s 1983. Polls are trash. The West and it’s tenants have lifted the world population out of poverty. World hunger is essentially a solved issue. Go watch Fiddler on the Roof

The violation happened in 2013, when Harry Reid and the Democrats removed the filibuster and the 60 vote requirement for judicial appointments. Mitch told Harry if he did that there would be hell to pay, because Harry was breaking like 200 years of precedent and shit. I think he said "You’ll regret this, and you may regret this a lot sooner than you think." which is cool because he never swore but I would have definitely thrown a 'motherfucker' in there. So yeah, of course the Democrats caused this trouble, just like every fucking other thing I swear the incompetent evil shits.

I think it goes much deeper than that. Reid only did it because the Republicans laid siege to the Republic via filibuster and obstruction
