Still will never vote for a democrat, whole country can burn as far as I'm concerned until foreign influence is excised.

He’s out of office by ‘28 he doesn’t care at this point how bad his image gets with the Epstein stuff and everything you mentioned. Israel is first priority always democrats too. I know people don’t like Elon but we really do need an American party especially if an awakening is about to happen to keep America from being a controlled and occupied country


Israel is like priority number 800 in Trump’s priorities. What is a priority is the Abraham Accords. There is a lot the USA can gain with a regional peace agreement. Trump was hoping to prioritize more nations joining, but the genocide of the Druze and Israel intervention to stop it is hampering any international peace deals.


Dude what lol? I’m a Trump voter but you’ve been red pilled to the max

Ease up on the personal attacks man. If you got a thought on something then share it, but just saying “you are red pilled to the max” provides nothing of value to the discussion nor a counter point.

The conversation hasn't gone fully mainstream yet, and they're actively trying to create more antisemitism laws as we speak (ie anti free speech laws). The internet kind of ruined a lot of what they accomplished over the last 80 years, I'd say mid 2000's Iraq War and post 9/11 was the peak of their powers, but the next few years will be pivotal because the proliferation of AI and the clamping down of censorship could ruin the internet forever, and at that point you may never again see a real populist movement without some sort of major bloody revolution.

Trump is pushing for texas and other red states to redraw their congressional maps, to get more house republican seats and pave way for the house to certify a potential third term.

I dont like Newsom or the many dumb things that make California seem like theyre from a multiverse… but it is important that they do the same to counter that to save democracy. They alone can do enough to counter five states combined

North Carolina is a 50/50 state and yet because of their BS they were able to redraw the maps and their house reps are 75/25 rate

It would be nice but I'm not falling for that again, the "I can't be bought" schtick. Also not a fan of some of the stuff he was advocating for like the H1B visas. Its unfortunate but that's the conundrum with modern politics, to play the game you need money and influence, but to get money and influence you need to play the game. Trump was the closest thing to an outsider but at the end of the day he still has masters he answers to.

There is nothing he said here that is associated with the red pill. If you don't know what that actually is, you shouldn't be labelling people with it, certainly not as an invective.

While that is true, we also have rules for a reason. Lay off the personal attacks please, especially with the divisive subjects being discussed.

To me, anyone who takes things to extreme levels following one sides format have been red pilled. The Left and Right want people to be angry hating everything about the other side instead of looking at individual issues, they really just strengthened their fan base like creating good puppets. Sort of like a cult. I disagree with most of what both sides tell me to believe in. If we cannot have a 3rd party, we should be allowed to vote on most of the major individual bills or proposals instead of allowing one of the 3 branches to make those decisions for us.

If that happened, I bet Illegal Immigration would stay illegal and Abortion would be legal instead of letting these idiots make those decisions for us with a rabid minority of citizens fanbase egging them on helping them fight their battles for them.

I am not against immigration as long as people are vetted. Let them most all in with a path to citizenship like 3-5 year process as long as they have no criminal records or commit crimes during the process and can pass background checks against terrorism or extremism. But, walking across the border illegally make it harder to be accepted into the process like a 2 year ban on applying or something.

I just don't trust anyones opinion who basically repeats all of whatever one parties agenda's are with venom. It almost feels like they lost the ability to think for themselves because they cannot criticize their own party and only repeat whatever media tells them to get angry about.

I know this Yale lawyer who is so red pilled in his debates on policy that when I asked him what he disagrees with on his party that he couldn't come up with a single criticism. Even the most intelligent people get red pilled. Puppets.

...alright, that's two people now saying it's something else, so I'll google it real quick:

When the hell did the definition change?! That's not what it was even 5 years ago.

"The term "red pill" has since been adopted and interpreted in various ways within online communities and social discourse, often with controversial connotations.

Men's Rights Activism and the Manosphere:

In some men's rights and anti-feminist communities, being "red-pilled" signifies believing that societal structures and gender roles are rigged against men, often blaming feminism for what they perceive as male subjugation and disadvantage. These communities may advocate for traditional gender roles and promote views that are critical of or hostile towards women.

Political and Conspiratorial Thinking:

The "red pill" concept has been co-opted by some far-right and white supremacist groups to symbolize an awakening to supposed hidden truths about society, gender, race, and politics that they believe are based on lies. This interpretation often involves believing in conspiracy theories and may overlap with antisemitic and other extremist views.

General Awakening to Truth: More broadly, "taking the red pill" can refer to a personal awakening to a perceived truth or a rejection of commonly accepted narratives in various contexts."

My god...to think that phrase was coined with the (eventual) goal of teaching men to understand intersexual/intergender dynamics especially with women so they don't end up hating women for what they could never be to them (from their own delusions about women in the first place). What in the hell is all that other ****...

That was just a copy & paste from google. It's deep to me because I've coached men and led them to basically my last paragraph. No need for me to delve into that any further here. My apologies to you both for not being up-to-date with what it's been co-opted with now. What a shame :/
