Here are the arguments or reasons that I will no longer accept from the right, because they fight for them or believe in them only when it’s the other side.
- For the children: They don’t care to do anything to lower the rate at which they are shot in school. They actively protect and cover up for child sexual predators. They don’t think kids have any right to expect to not starve in the richest country in the history of the world. I will no longer accept this as legitimate.
- The Constitution: Let’s see: selling pardons, accepting lavish gifts from foreign governments, end of due process, forcing religion into schools and government, and the list goes on and on. In fact, the only consistent Constitution argument is about the 2nd amendment, but I am fully confident that if the Maga president says “take the guns and go through due process later” and took the guns, MAGA would bend over and gladly take it. They’ve already shown they will sacrifice their kids (guns, Epstein) and grandparents (Covid), so I have no doubt they will sacrifice anything and everything. And that is why I will no longer accept “but the Constitution” as a valid argument.
- The deficit/debt: Not only have Republican presidents been responsible for the vast majority of the deficit debt, they’ve presided over practically all of the financial crashes that have occurred over the last 50 years. Yet when a Republican is in power, nary a word has been spoken about how much the deficit explodes when they are in power. Not to mention when they are in power the unemployment levels go up, the spending levels go up, and the GDP declines. The idea that they are better stewards of the economy is farcical on its face.
