Hot, Bad & Unpopular Takes

If you supported Trump and now allegedly no longer do, you should be banned from this forum.

And if you're more paranoid than Richard Nixon, you should be banned from the internet.

I like Mitch McConnell Nancy Pelosi...

If you are protesting and you block roads, you deserve to get run over.

Whenever I see a bio like this my eyes roll into the back of my head:

[Lord Admirale]

We shouldn't outright ban "assault rifles"

[Lord Admirale]

James Comey is a scumbag opportunist and I'm disappointed in my party for suddenly worshiping him.

[Lord Admirale]

The world would be a better place if Germany/Central Powers won World War I.

[Lord Admirale]

Public executions for serious crimes (serial rape and/or molestation, mass murder, terrorism, etc.) would be a great idea.

The suburban Democratic trend is temporary. A more diverse U.S. will force the Republican Party to move back to the center socially, and along with that, the suburbs will shift Republican. Especially with the growth of democratic socialism within the Democratic Party.

America is suburbanizing in general though. Where would Democrats derive their electoral power? You'd have to be more specific. If Republicans controlled rural areas and suburbs in general, that wouldn't leave a whole lot else outside of urban cores.

Honestly I think the south will return to its Democratic roots, albeit very different than the solid south was half a century ago. Places like Georgia, Mississippi, are on their way to become majority black in the coming decades, while other southern states are quickly diversifying. Texas is turning purple and could be a huge source of power for the Dems in coming elections. I could see rural areas also shifting Democratic, depending on how well-received the Democrats are by rural and poor whites.

What I meant by "suburban" is affluent, middle-to-upper class places that became significantly more Democratic under Bill Clinton.

Not to mention that suburbs are becoming less white and the GOP has no interest in appealing to non-whites..

Southern Democratic machines eventually started aggressively courting Black voters after disenfranchising them was no longer an option, no?  My point is that the GOP might someday have no choice but to appeal to non-Whites.  They'll adapt or die.

My point was in response to Admiral President.

SOCK?

LOL, what?  You said the GOP has no interest in appealing to non-Whites, and I was trying to make the point that eventually they might just have to even if they don’t like it...?

But I wasn't... nevermind.

As far as the GOP appealing to minority voters, I'll believe it when I see it.  There is no law that says a party must do anything, and right now the GOP is heavily skewed toward white voters and not much else.  It will take at least a generation to erase the stains of Donald Trump.

Then I guess the GOP will lose every presidential election and eventually fade into obscurity

There are only two genders.

I consider that more of a fact than a "hot take."

Careful you're gonna cut someone with that edge!

Soldiers who are killed in foreign wars are only victims of imperialist desires.

World War II?

But muh imperialism

Alex Jones shouldn't have been banned from YouTube. He's too... entertaining. Somehow psychopath Logan Paul gets to stay, but Alex Jones (who can actually be funny with his craziness) somehow gets banned. Smh

For every 4 people who finds Alex Jones to be stupid in a funny way, there is 1 person who think he is actually saying real stuff and getting corrupted by it.

FTFY

Even ignoring the table:

Trump is to Reagan as Carter is to FDR.

Centrist GOP return, lesgo.

[Lord Admirale]

I don't give a damn about Colin Kaepernick. I don't give a damn about football in general. I really have no opinion on the Nike nontroversy.

I'll bet 5 dollars someone is gonna sh1t on me for being a MOdeRaTe hErO

[Lord Admirale]

There is a fundamental dignity in being proud of where you are from, and people who trash certain places as being "shltholes" or "trashy" or seem to take pleasure in pointing out that these places are less than ideal are engaging in some of the smallest, rudest behavior possible.  There is a charm in almost every type of hometown, and "different strokes for different folks" should guide a lot more people's comments about different states/cities/towns/regions/etc.

Amen to that brother. I love New Jersey.

The Krassenstein brothers are the best people on Twitter.

I have reasonable doubt they're real people.

Why?

Their lives revolve around replying to Trump's tweets, so either they're fake or they are both unhinged.

Control of the Senate will probably hinge on Mississippi this cycle. McDaniel is gaining on Hyde-Smith and could blow it like Roy Moore. Not to mention Espy managed to do pretty well with whites in his district (highest he got was 40% of white voters) and is more of a conservative Democrat.

If Alabama could vote blue, Mississippi could definitely do it.

Racism won't ever go away.

South Vietnam was the greater of 2 evils.

North Vietnam was the lesser of 2 evils.

I bet you would've gone to Hanoi to kiss Ho Chi Minh's ass while our heroes, like John McCain, were getting tortured by the communists at the Hanoi Hilton.

Warren Harding was the best Republican President of the 20th century.

Better than Eisenhower and TR even (neither of whom were saints)?  Why?

His foreign policy was way better. In fact he was probably the last President to make any meaningful effort toward demilitarization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Naval_Conference

He also wanted to end US interference in Latin America, something that both Eisenhower and Roosevelt were frankly atrocious on.

Sounds like a spineless president.

You sound like the guy that gets into fights at parties because you don’t realize that such is a show of weakness.

I've been in 7 fights in my life and all 7 were in self-defense. Good try, though. Responding to my criticism of a bad/non-interventionist foreign policy with a flawed personal attack is a classy move  

(Also, trying to start beef with me yet again is a show of weakness)
