Do any of you use the NextDoor app in your neighborhoods and towns? Our town rarely has political discussions in ours, but after a pro-impeachment rally on Tuesday night, people have really come out of the woodwork to show their true colors.
There's one guy who is just so outrageously pro Trump, and then I'm just completely unsurprised when he comments, TODAY, TWO HOURS AGO "Aaaaand he still won't be impeached. NO CRIME. Can't impeach a president because you lost an election."
Nevermind how utterly dim this is, how clueless does one have to be to not realized he was impeached LAST NIGHT by the House? It's absolutely comical to me the way these MAGA people think they're so right, and don't even have a grasp of simple and fundamental facts of impeachment procedure, or the space-time continuim that necessitates understanding past, present, and future tense.
- The guy's FB page is full of gun-nut, NRA, pro-Trump BS; there's even a confederate flag as one of his past profile pics. So glad this guy is not my neighbor.mg33
- can't really blame him knowing that the senate itself doesn't recognize the impeachment as legitimate eithermonospaced
- What if the GOP pull a fast one and find trump guilty. Maybe their plan all along was to replace him in the next electionGnash
- lol, it was all about Pence from the beginning! lolmonospaced
- Someone suggested he could be ousted and Romney runs. That could be an easy win for them - stopped the tyrant, candidate with health care, etc.formed
- just toss it out there is he impeached if pelosi doesnt do the paper work that leads to a trial?********

There is something wrong with the PBS live feed all the Dem candidates sound s l o w w w w . . . .

- Some serious infighting, but most of America is truly centrist right leaning.robotron3k
- They're right leaning if you ask them about left/right, but if you ask about government programs that give them free goodies they are way to the left.zarkonite
- No one votes for cutting programs they benefit from or for paying higher taxes. It's not a left/right break, it's "I personally benefit from" vs "I don't".zarkonite
- The Obama/Trump voters are a prime example of that kind of thinking.zarkonite
- If Bernie accounced AOC as his running mate, Trump could def be challenged, at least media and fringe-wise. It would be a MSM circus too!robotron3k
- That would be proper entertainment.zarkonite
- ANYONE who leans center right in economy is NOT getting a fucking free ANYTHING from the gov. It’s mostly poor conservatives who are the most socialist recipienmonospaced
- So no, zark. You’re wrong. They vote that way because the right has policies that are just despicable. It’s that simple.monospaced
- If you can name a policy that they benefit from please name it. I’ll wait.monospaced
- You know. The kind that the right would never benefit from. Please.monospaced
- Two days no response. Waiting.monospaced
- Well. What goodies???monospaced
- 5 days later. Still waiting.monospaced
- haha ok mono, you really care too much sometimes. I did mention people, there are lots of counties and even states that went for Obama then Trump.zarkonite
- There's no policy common ground between those two, so it's not about left or right but mostly about what can the candidate do for the voter regardless.zarkonite
- I think Trump made it clear he wanted to bring back manufacturing jobs, and that's how he got all those rustbelt votes which usually go to the Dems.zarkonite
- Now what I don't understand about what you said is that it sounds like you're saying everyone who votes republican does so because they are "despicable"? what!?zarkonite
- ^ That would be a pretty easy argument to make.formed
- Name a single thing. Please. It’s been 8 days and you haven’t backed up your nonsense claim. And yes I can show how republicans vote for despicable things.monospaced
- What exactly do liberals vote for that would give them anything free that they otherwise would not get?monospaced
- @robo Bernie couldn't announce her as his running mate unless she magically aged 5 years.garbage
- Thanks for once again illustrating that nobody has to take you seriously, as you don't even have a grade-school comprehension of how our government works.garbage
- Just to be clear, you made a flat out claim and when asked for a single example you can think of none. Right?monospaced
- @mono That's the robo way. Spew bullshit and then slink away whenever the adults point out how stupid he is. I think he's into mental self-harm.garbage
- Pointless bump for robo's feed and his absolute intellectual cowardice.garbage
- it was zarkonite, unless they're the same person ...monospaced
- What part of people voted for Obama and then Trump don't you understand?zarkonite
- oh, and "just to be clear" I answered your qestion bud.zarkonite
- Look at zark, answering "qestions" so clearly.garbage
- Is he asking a question or did he go off on a monologue about "policies" and tried to pretend like it was related to what I was saying?zarkonite
- here's ANOTHER answer: https://www.washingt…zarkonite
- if you ask a republican what he thinks about obamacare, the answer is OBAMA = BAD! - but if you describe what they get with it, then they all love it.zarkonite
- So, again, left/right philosophy doesn't matter it's all about what a politician promises to do that will impact you personally.zarkonite
- Did you not notice that michigan went for Trump? that means tons of union blue collar guys switched their votes from Ds. Why? because he said he was going tozarkonite
- bring back manufacturing jobs, MAGA, etc. and they bought it. They're just looking at how it will improve their day to day, not their philosophical bend.zarkonite
- you didn't answer shit, which means you don't want to, can't answer, or don't understand the questionmonospaced
- You wrote, " it's "I personally benefit from" vs "I don't"." And I asked you to name ONE thing people personally benefit from that is unique to the left.monospaced
- I didn't go off on policies, and everything I wrote was 100% related to what you wrote. I'm just looking for an example or two.monospaced
- YOU brought up "government programs that give them free goodies" and I asked you to clarify which programs and which goodies the left votes for. Still waiting.monospaced
- A blue collar manufacturing job in Michigan isn't a "free goodie from the government."monospaced
- You're making this about the left, and I don't know why, but I'm not aware of the left being given stuff for free and that's totally outside of what I'm saying.zarkonite
- and I disagree with your argument about jobs not being a free goodie from the government. When the government expands resources to help a sector orzarkonite
- inject money into the economy it is something you're getting for free. Those jobs had a cost, it's like saying that when all those cities begged Amazon to movezarkonite
- their HQ and gave them free taxes in exchange for jobs it wasn't a "goodie" the government was handing out with the intent to benefit people who aren't payingzarkonite
- for said goodie. Now what I am talking about is the decision process that leads people to vote one way or another. I maintain that it's incorrect to try tozarkonite
- predict people's votes by using a left/right axis because that frame of thinking gets overridden by what affects you every day. Keep in mind I'm responding tozarkonite
- the post which basically says the centre is dead, and I think not.zarkonite
- Everything a politician does is paid for by taxes, everyone pays taxes, if a particular group benefits from a government program then some portion of it is freezarkonite
- That's exactly how public healthcare works, I can't personally afford to go to the hospital but when we all pool out money together we ALL can go to th hospitalzarkonite
- Do you understand the argument? even a hard corer right winger will go hard to the left the second you try to take away a program he benefits from. This is truezarkonite
- of almost anyone. Like you said, the Rs are actually the ones getting most of the free shit and yet they claim to be on the right. Hence my statement,zarkonite
- "if you ask [americans] about government programs that give them free goodies they are way to the left" - everyone likes free stuff. Nothing controversial here.zarkonite
- you literally wrote "free goodies," so don't act like that isn't what we're talking about. It seems like yo'ure taking that back, though. Is that right?monospaced
- I ask because conservatives vote against free things and liberals seem to vote for things that benefit everyone, not just themselves.monospaced
- Regardless, it actually seems we see pretty much eye to eye on this. Cheers.monospaced
