Guns are part of our frontier culture, in red states it is literally a family tradition passed down from one to another. They are also seen as a safety against government tyranny protected by the Constitution. The idea that any tragedy could result in US banning weapons is ridiculous. Never going to happen.

A lot of it is rooted in a frontier culture that England and most of Europe didn’t really have. Also it’s not really the root of our violence. There are lots of countries with loose gun laws that don’t have our level of violence. It’s really about multiculturalism, lack of mental illness care, high stress capitalism…

It’s always a battle between freedom and security. I don’t think we should villainize people that want to indulge in their 2nd Amendment rights. It’s the radicals that refused any kind of compromise legislation on background checks, assault weapons and other such things that piss me off.

Yeah and that’s the truth. I am very much for an assault weapons ban but you can’t blame manufacturers for making and selling legal product. Talk to Congress.

I call myself a moderate Conservative but I haven’t voted for a Republican since 2000, and even that one was a mistake. I wish we had a reasonable Conservative option, but we do not. Hope it happens.

Yeah agreed. If I was on that tape you might hear me awkwardly half-laughing or saying “yeah” or something, but he’s obviously enthusiastic the more I listen to it, and there’s further evidence. It’s sad.

Just know he giggles gleefully when Trump talks of assaulting women and his “Donald has scored” comment is said very enthusiastically. He sounds genuine and excited by the discussion.

Yeah, at first I was thinking he was just going along with Trump’s horrible comments to be nice to a piece of shit he had to do television with. After listening to the video a few more times and reading this though... nope, he’s horrible.

My mother, a Trump supporter, told me the same thing that sign says basically. Told me men aren’t “real men” anymore and that’s why they’re upset about his words, which were “normal male behavior.” I was like thanks mom, for saying I am not a real man.

Writers are just too used to using robots as an easy message system for minorities and women in real life. It’s super lazy and doesn’t even make sense really, but they keep doing it.

A lot of modern Liberal ideas are rooted in globalism and destroying borders over time, so it’s no surprise they equivocate on illegal immigration. Also it’s an easy PR attack strategy. I am no Trump supporter but I do hate that liberals now-a-days associate being against illegal immigration with racism.

He definitely goes for an English fairytale aesthetic, which I imagine is what he is trying to say but is searching for the PC way to put it (and failing). I don’t think it’s wrong really, but you have to present it better, and we’re in extremely sensitive times.

I chuckle when commercials obviously have one person of each race like they’re checking boxes. Also Doctor Who had a way too high average of interracial couples for a while there, which felt like a hammer to the head. Those are the only times I’ve ever thought diversity was overdone.

Thats a very black and white view that presupposes your own perfection, if you ask me. I’m not trying to bash you, more just saying my point this whole thread is you have to be accepting of differing views in life and not assume the worst of half the population. I don’t like this Leftist McCarthyism thing we’ve got…

I’m saying my parents would never say they’re bigoted, they would say what you see as bigotry is not. Is is subjective to some degree, there are certainly things Gawker writers have insisted are racist that I totally disagree on (like that recent Disney costume).

Yeah I know of that insanity, my wife was raised Catholic. I don’t think it factors into the pro-life campaign though. A wasted ovulation isn’t cobsidered... you know what, this insane shit isn’t even worth it haha. I just couldn’t help correcting the analogy ‘cause I’m anal like that.

I mean, I’m pro-choice so not sure we need to argue, but I don’t think they believe life begins at ovulation either, and men are of course impacted by strict abortion laws. Still, I obviously know what you meant. :)

It is witty but doesn’t make much sense. Not even the craziest religious nut thinks life begins at ejaculation.

Witty sign but I don’t think anyone ever argued life begins at ejaculation.

Hes polling around 45%, Clinton barely higher. If he only gets 30% on election day feel free to say “I told you so” but he’ll get much more than that.
