Detox's political thread

BREAKING: Legislation in Wisconsin coming by Thursday. This is not just an internet rumor.

@alcoholic, 704, dorkel, I_am_intoxicated_

I am embarrassed for all of you. Why do you feel the need to constantly attack everybody who isnt a Trump supporter ? You have no threads where WE THE PEOPLE see the truth printed. Why not go away where no one will bother or attack you? Have all the fun you want.

we cant accept that you voted for rump after saying you would not.

we can not accept YOUR constant immature backhanded insults and "alternate reality" behavior that you all put on display every day.

Midnight1 was right all along.

BREAKING: no Legislation in Wisconsin is going to overturn the valid election results .

This is not just an internet rumor.

Awesome, thought provoking comeback Kelly. Just copy and paste like your leaders. You are pathetic. 

You see Detox. I will deflect the attacks from landing towards you and bring them towards me. These clowns are like badly trained dogs. 

Bring it on LOSERS!

Precisely.  Well said!   

So here’s a theory about what’s behind the ongoing lockdown violations by the very people pushing lockdowns. It might explain why all of the officials who keep getting caught doing this seem to come from the same political slant.

The idea of “luxury beliefs”. The idea behind this theory is that as the differentiation between the working and upper-middle class blurs in terms of lifestyle and material status symbols, people will find other avenues of demarcation.

One of those avenues is to inflate extreme-niche issues to gigantic importance and/or to profess belief in absurdities while denigrating those who aren’t part of your in-group (and elevating oneself by implication). 

For those who are trying to come up in life, operating in a rational manner is probably very important. But what better way to show that you are of a superior class than to not have to worry about whether or not your professed beliefs make any sense...and you get to shit on everyone else in the process! Win/win. So, what does this have to do with COVID and lockdowns? To relate to the luxury beliefs theory, the point is that it is inherently desirable to do things which those below you in status may not do. And so Gavin Newsom and London Breed dine at the French Laundry. Bill DeBlasio (not his real name, BTW) dances in Time’s Square on NYE after telling everyone else to stay home, etc.  The point is not the thing itself (dining, travel, etc), the point is that THEY get to do things which lower status individuals can not. 

The desire to be part of an aristocracy runs deep, and it runs deepest in those who speak most loudly about the poor, paying your fair share, etc. COVID is a golden opportunity for this class to claim extra powers in the name of benevolence.

But we’re already seeing, again and again, that the justifications for the power grab are OBVIOUSLY not believed by the people preaching them, or they wouldn’t be out there eating foie grad. It only starts to make sense when you see that the POINT is to create special privileges for their class which those of lower status do not share. As the lines have blurred towards the upper/middle end (someone worth $10 mil drives the same Mercedes as someone worth $200k), perhaps it’s natural for that energy to run towards pulling up the ladder on the lower end, and make what was once ordinary into the exclusive domain of the powerful and connected.

If you are reading this, you are already someone whose material life is vastly better than the wealthiest Medieval king. But you don’t really feel or appreciate that on a day-to-day basis, because it is just your norm. Maybe having a few servants around you would help, but your average big city law partner can easily afford a maid. You don’t feel special enough yet. But what if you could make it so that trips to tropical islands and luxurious dinners were only allowed for those like you and your inner circle?What if you could be pampered at a salon when no one else could? Maybe now you’d feel special. Maybe now everyone would see your God-given superiority to the serfs. 

If this seems over the top, ask yourself why there is a class of people, composed almost entirely of government officials and those who rely on proximity to their power, who seem hell-bent on COVID world continuing even after vaccines are distributed. What the hell is in it for them? The new order fits nicely for those whose paychecks never stopped (and may have risen). For those who make proclamations shaming the rest of us with life and death warnings while living as if they were above this behind the scenes. 

These people are aristocrats. This is what they have always wanted. The good news is that aristocracy only exists in places where everyone else accepts that it’s the natural order.

Trump's GOP loyalists
prove the Republican Party
is now the anti-democracy party

NBC NEWS
The political divide in America has shifted. It is no longer liberal vs. conservative,
but instead Liberal vs. anti-democracy.

This pivot puts liberals and some traditional conservatives on the same side
 — and against the current Republican Party (aka, adolf trump regime).

If you’re a politician your job is assess the best political play. Is it in your political interests to always be seen wearing a mask? Is it in your best political interest to never wear a mask? 

It doesn’t matter what you actually believe. The only thing that matters is what will help you politically. 

This is why Democrats are handed masks by their aides backstage, take 10 steps and take the mask off for a press conference. 

They understand this game.

Too much of the time Trump says what he actually thinks. In politics, you should never say what you actually think, you should say what is in your best political interests. 

Establishment vs anti-establishment 

since rump  was elected by james comey , wikileaks , and all the racist rumplickers

this has sadly become the truth

"Internet rumor" today that says Biden will be officially certified tomorrow and confirmed the new President. 

Breaking! Dominion machines breaking down in GOP strongholds of Georgia! Does the 'cheating' Left ever get tired of deceit? We need the 82nd Airborne Division to jump in and take over the election in Georgia! Airborne!

Most Trump supporters would vote for Tulsi Gabbard 

Most Biden supporters would vote for Mitt Romney 

Establishment vs anti-establishment 

Amazing to me that people actually made a conscious decision to vote for a perv who took showers with his daughter while naked! 

Interesting rumour.

Because there is another rumour circulating that the adolf/fascism supporters on the right will tomorrow provide stunning new evidence that is so damning it will *PROVE* beyond all reasonable doubt that the votes were fixed specifically for Biden in only the swing states that adolf lost.....not any of the others..... *AND* that the real death count from covid-19 is actually fewer than 100

The historic Super Bowl of American politics begins tomorrow at 11 am central! What will Pence do?

If republicans really want to stop abortions they should pivot and start supporting abortion clinics in America’s inner cities  

Free abortions if you make under $75k per year 

Breaking! 4 adolf trump senior campaign officials are suspected of being part owners of the Dominion machines

@sundance

 Pence will announce the certification of Biden as President and go on vacation after the process. 

The historic Super Bowl of American politics which ended on Dec 15 has a final score: 

306 Biden team

232 adolf trump regime

well rump is alleged to have raped at least one woman and sexually assaulted dozens of others  and he is guilty of perving backstage of the miss teen america pageants , so i wouldnt put it past him that he would shower with ivanka . he has expressed as much on the howard stern show previously so its equally amazing to me as it is to  u  that anyone would vote for him but hell , over 74 million idiots did anyway

Omg get these smooth brain discussions out of this thread 

Biden is the next president. If you don’t think so you’re an idiot.
