I mean that is super honest, and clearly they care more about fairness and the constitution than winning. Very un swampy. Trump makes a great argument on why, if you care about getting rid of corruption and fairness, vote dem. When Trump was POTUS the first time we apparently had the singularly worst election security breach in known history. The elections were then completely safe & secure under Biden. Conclusion: Republicans can't keep us safe. On July 17 2026 13:25 lestye wrote: Do you guys have any trumpers in your life that actually cares about this stuff? I'd get it if this is something that riles and excites his base, but the trumpers I know are apathetic towards this blubbering. Is this rhetoric for him so he can play victim or does this make his base excited? My real life MAGA relatives are embarased by this shit. They're only in the game because they hate immigrants and DEI. The Epstein files are what finally made them waver, although they're still never going to switch to Democrats.

I’m just asking questions. I made this same joke months ago and some other TLnet moderator warned me for it lol | ||

He was launching into an explanation of how he, as a conservative white man, had nothing to fear from guns because America doesn’t have a guns problem, it has a blacks problem. He wasn’t able to reach his conclusion though because another conservative white man shot him in the neck before he could finish, ultimately resulting in his death from a suspected fentanyl overdose. The man had great comedic timing. https://fortune.com/2026/06/26/heat-death-europe-ac-american-gun-violence-climate-change-hot-summer/ Irrational fear and over reporting on gun death., wouldn't you say that proves his point? The black gun violence problem is statistically proven majority. | ||

And yes, Europe needs to get to work asap on taking the impact of climate change seriously and preventive measures for heat-related problems. But two wrongs don't make a right. | ||

Because if that election was tampered with, surely we need more "protections" to prevent that from happening again. And since any result that isn't Trump winning is proof of election fraud, we need to put system ins place to make sure that Trump wins. 250,000 foreigners registered to vote in 4 states? That's pretty bad. China getting 220 million US voter files? That's pretty bad. Pattern of intelligence community bureaucrats quashing information and investigations from Senate-confirmed appointees of the President? Yeah we're not doing that again. Amazingly states that are working together with the federal government got 400,000 dead people and 28,000 foreigners off their voter rolls. Meanwhile states that aren't interested in cooperating are busy spending all their money on drawings of high speed trains. | ||

We also have people wildly underestimating how deadly climate change-fueled heatwaves are. Apparently your take away from this is people shouldn't care about either of those things. | ||

Apparently your take away from this is people shouldn't care about either of those things. well you definitely got the wrong takeaway from my post then. Heat wave death toll in Europe has been on par/above US gun death multiple years since 2003. It didn't get underestimated, It's under reported, while gun death is overly reported. so yes, the point is part of the problem is reporting. If you want to address the issue, then why isn't there more focus on statistically proven majority that are causing gun violence? Surely you agree racism is an issue then, why is decades of black of anti-asian crime not well known and under reported? what's your take away here? | ||

I think until there is more conversations about these stats, we can start looking into the problem more fairly. The US knife homicide rate is higher than the UK, I would say it's a crime problem, the topic should have been on crime more than weapon of choices. | ||

You're really not going to give your hypothesis due to "there not being enough data"? | ||

That's really all there is to it. Republicans mislabel this "critical race theory" and deny it's factually true, but any rudimentary course on criminology at an accredited university will tell you as much. The white race superiority has put a disproportionately wealth against all other races, well maybe not Jewish. But black is rarely the only one that got oppressed. They have significantly higher gun homocide rate than native americans. And that's not counting all the other races that are not white/ | ||

In any case, still awaiting Etisme's response. Because if we can't get out of the basics, we can't move on to higher level stuff honestly. I didn't give you a left perspective, and you certainly didn't ask for a right one. | ||
