while I understand what you mean by “fascinating” I see it as infuriating and sad. It is crazy that it is that long ago but it’s long enough ago that you’d hope we’d have grown. But, unfortunately if you watch the whole video you’ll notice that it’s basically the same arguments that are made agains “woke” and “crt”. It’s amazing that these people were arguing against the existence of my mom and therefore me.
Yes, I only meant it was fascinating to hear the level of candor that we know went silent for so long and has resurfaced as "acceptable" conversation in the past 5 years in the MAGA world. It just sounded so cold blooded and matter of fact. Also this is only about 25 minutes from where I live. It is the picture of middle class in Long Island.

What Mark Robinson’s Run for Governor Tells Us About Today’s Republican Party by Peter Montgomery North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is a MAGA politician for the social media age. His rise and his recently launched campaign to become the state’s next governor tell us a lot — none of it good — about the state of the Republican Party in the age of Trump. Robinson became an overnight MAGA folk hero when his rant at a city council meeting against gun regulations went viral. He parlayed that fame into a political career, going from working in a furniture manufacturing plant to winning the nine-candidate 2020 GOP primary for lieutenant governor in a matter of months, and then winning the general election by about three percentage points. Robinson has spent a lot of his time in office traveling the state in partnership with Christian nationalist political operative David Lane and Right Wing Watch has worked diligently to expose the anti-LGBTQ bigotry, religious intolerance, and extreme Christian nationalism spouted by Robinson at those events. The U.S. is a Christian nation, Robinson has repeatedly insisted, telling those who disagree that they should go live in some other country. Spoiler After “perusing Right Wing Watch’s archive” on Robinson, Steve Benen at Maddow blog concluded, “By any fair measure, Robinson is among the most hateful radicals to seek statewide office in the United States in recent memory.” Similarly, when TPM looked at Robinson’s pre-election posts on Facebook, they found a cesspool of “extreme attacks on the LGBT community, immigrants, Jews, and Black people.” Robinson, who is Black, has gleefully demonized other Black people. In 2017, he wrote that he didn’t consider himself part of the African American community. “They asked me why and I said; ‘Why would I want to be part of a ‘community’ that devalues it’s fathers, overburdens it’s mothers, and murders its children by the millions? Why would I want to be part of a ‘community’ that sucks from the putrid tit of the government and then complains about getting sour milk?” In spite of the cruel and abusive nature of his attacks on LGBTQ people and other “enemies of freedom” — or even worse, because of it — Robinson’s popularity with the MAGA base and the cash that has brought him “put him squarely at the top of the GOP primary,” according to the Guardian. He’s been endorsed by Senate leader Phil Berger, state Rep. Neal Jackson, and other state Republican officials. Some political observers suggest that Robinson could end up being one more example of a candidate beloved by the party’s far-right base who loses a winnable general election because he turns off more moderate voters. He seems to be aware of that concern, saying in his response to the governor’s state of the state address in March that “we must drop our weapons of political war.” But no one who knows Robinson is likely to think that was anything more than unconvincing political posturing. His rally speeches are filled with violent rhetoric of war. At a rally in Raleigh last year, he told rallygoers they were like the patriots on Bunker Hill: “You are the living embodiment of those people. As you stand here today, stand with courage. Stand with conviction And tell our enemies on the other side of the aisle that would drag this nation down into a socialist hell hole that ‘You will only do it as you run past me laying on the ground choking on my own blood because I will not give up this nation to you.’ …The Christian patriots of this nation will own this nation and rule this nation and help freedom survive for future generations.” Robinson has portrayed AR-15s, the mass murderer’s weapon of choice, as a gift from God. And he has called the Biden administration “tyrannical,” saying it is “the type of government the Second Amendment was made for.” In many ways Robinson embodies the Trump-era GOP: ugly anti-LGBTQ bigotry, cultish opposition to any gun safety measures, aggressive Christian nationalism, a belief that the pursuit of social justice is “wicked,” and a determination to say and do anything to win.
Safe bet that people from that town did move to Florida. They were attracted for the same reasons...affordable housing.
I get it but you can't compare NYC suburbs to Florida. I would guess these people started moving down in the late 90's or so. I looked at houses in Florida and NY in the early 2000's and it is not even close how much house you could have gotten in Florida versus NY. 3500 sq ft mostly new construction with a pool in a gated community for $400K versus 2000 sq ft fixer upper for $700K, not to mention the property taxes and state income taxes.
oh ya, if we are talking 20 years ago then I get that but it's not like that anymore and again, you are just comparing flat values and not factoring in we have much lower wages here
I understand, but it still was not comparable and still isn't especially now when you don't need to live where you work.
President king fuckface describing the patriarchy and abuse of women in society. fortunately or unfortunately
My dad does business directly with him and his wife and he said they’re just as bad as they come across in the news
8 fraudulent electors in Georgia have been granted immunity. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...eorgia-trump-investigation-electors-immunity/
If this clip isn’t blasted during every CNN commercial break of his town hall the Dems are actively trying to lose the next election. This guy was indifferent about celebrities grabbing women to do as they wish.
OK, this sounds legitimately big. I don't think they would be granted immunity unless they had something very damning to tell and the fact that they extended that courtesy to so many feels like they are going for the jugular.
Im not in a cult. I give it a month before these people are saying this is Americas real currency and use it among themselves.
