  Politics and Hope

  so there are a lot of atheists on here.

  my question: where does your hope come from?

  that the right people will be put in political positions and will eventually form a utopian society that will meet all needs and we will have equality for all?.

  Al Gore (and others probably) was predicting the climate changes that we see today unless we act...

  I think he predicted Miami would be under water some time ago - fish swimming in the streets and all. He had a considerable percent error....

  I do not trust the government to make the world a better place. Every occurrence of the world becoming better was in spite of government, not because of it.

  My hope is that in 2120 we will look back and shake our heads at 2020 and before for the same reason we shake our heads at 1920 and before.

  Yeah, but you have to be careful here. If, by 2120, the world has a socialist resurgence, it wouldn't be meaningful if all those socialists look back, shake their heads at 2020 in ignorance, as they progress through their short starvation-filled lives.

  Do people "have" hope? As if its not attached to anything? Don't people hope "for" things? So, do you mean to ask something like "What do atheists hope for?"

  or do you think the idea of a deep state is malarkey?

  The first time I heard “Trump agrees with Q”, I thought the news was accusing Trump of being in league with the omnipotent villain from Star Trek the Next Generation. I mean, given the news, it didn’t seem too strange they might be claiming something like that.

  I still don’t know much more about it..

  I am one of the more vocal Trump supporters on this site. But I have no idea what QAnon believes. They only enter my mind when someone on the left claims QAnon believes <insert some belief here>, which they then mock. Well, ok. Whatever.

  If Biden wins

  by mickbobcat in

  if biden wins i hope trump starts the trump news network and hires out from fox the good casters.

  the people who made fox what it is are starting to get sick of how its turning to the left or dark side.

  this would give trump a voice and keep alive real journalism.

  I would get behind an Owens ticket. That would be awesome.

  Lawsuits continue, but RealClearPolitics has 279 for the Biden campaign now - they attributed PA to Biden. I'm sure lawsuits will fly there.

  But assuming Trump eventually has to concede - he should (as Styx put it) "break all of their toys". Pardon Snowden. Pardon Assange. Pardon Flynn. Then release every little piece of information the state department has on any politician - no matter what party. Give all the info to Assange. Declassify ... expose. Break their toys.

  If Trump wins, by some lawsuit miracle - do the same thing. Break their toys.

  Am I going way out on a limb? Why the USA is doing poorly with COVID

  by frozen2018 in

  i saw this time article: https://time.com/2938158/youth-fail-to-qualify-military-service/.

  if 71% of youth are in that bad of shape, would it follow that the entire population is in bad physical shape to begin with?

  what happens if a virus such as covid-19 infects an unhealthy population?

  @frozen:

  Curious - if the US is “doing poorly”, what does “doing well” look like?

  Yeah. I don’t really go for “Trump will win because <insert some divine cause here>” shenanigans. If Trump wins it will be from presenting a case to SCOTUS that causes either a new vote for contested states, or push to the House.

  just going by the topic titles you've been using these last few weeks.. do you think you can survive a whole four years with someone that's not exactly your favorite candidate?.

  i know i'm in the minority from what i've been reading here, but i'm glad for the change!.

  well, we all can't be satisfied altogether can we?.

  @pale:

  You said you don't watch CNN. Ok, good. All good and fine. So if you are really serious, you would ask yourself this (edited to remove CNN):

  "Why the fuck do I think Trump never denied white supremacy? After all, I'm looking at YEARS AND YEARS of examples of him doing just that? I've operated under the impression for 4 years that he just doesn't want to deny white supremacy, yet it seems like he's been doing it all along. Where did that idea come from?"
