2020 US Election (Part Two)

[Sommerswerd]

'Catholic' is not synonymous with Trump voter. See: Joe Biden and decades of Democratic support from Catholics.

Papa Franco just endorsed same sex unions. Although he stopped short of using the word marriage and apparently still does not support allowing gay marriages in the church, its still progress.

Close enough for a stemmy. Yup. I'm not even Catholic you... fine person you.

There is no peace Sommer. They won't have it.

When you're being all riddle'y, interpretations aren't always going to match up. Speaking of which... what is a stemmy?

And for the record, the second the dems get in and the GOP stop being a force of great harm to this country, I'll be pushing the Dems leftwards and going against them.

The biggest, most important difference, is that with Biden in office and Democrats controlling the Senate, there are people who may actually listen sometimes, because they know they have to appease their constituencies... with Republicans in you just get ignored at best and abused (or killed) at worst.

What part of "I'm not Catholic and have never been Catholic" is confusing?

What part of "I've listened to your wretched experience around St. Louis and it does not resemble my stomping grounds," is confusing? I have groomsmen that live near where he lived. It. is. not. the. same. But he will not care. He knows better. "Sorry you didn't get an education" I believe was his response to a gripe about median incomes and class. No. These are assclowns. But at least they aren't president. There is definitely that.

@Farm Boy you talked about marrying a Catholic and converting before. I have no idea what other demographic could plausibly be accused of being child molesters by liberals. Say what you mean if you want to have a conversation.

It. is. not. the. same.

Yes it is.

 

[Farm Boy]

No. I have never talked about converting. They don't make you do that these days. But close enough for a stemmy!

 

[hobbsyoyo]

He knows better.

This is uncharitable, to say the least.

 

[Sommerswerd]

Now I'm intrigued because I didn't think of STEM at all when you said stemmy. What is the connection? Why is one place close enough to another for a stemmy? I don't get it

It's a polite way of implying I am autistic or on the spectrum or at least extremely out of touch with reality because I'm a book smart nerd.

I can not understand his community or religion because I am out of touch, in essence.

 

[Gorbles]

As far as I can understand it, he's saying that hobbs is wrong about hobbs' own life experience. The inference being, presumably, that people who have STEM degrees (or comparable education) just cannot come from the areas Farm Boy is talking about. It is, apparently, literally impossible.

EDIT

Ninja'd. I very well am likely to be wrong!

 

[Farm Boy]

"It's uncharitable to imply that I know better when I tell him about where he lives."

"I know better then he does about where he lives."

I mean, the implication is the kindest explanation at this point.

I mean, I have a damn education, I'm not Catholic, and he's telling me about myself and disagreeing. When I call him what he is, it gets moderated. So "stemmy" it is.

 

[Sommerswerd]

@Farm Boy you talked about marrying a Catholic and converting before.

I'm not Catholic, I was raised Jehovah's Witness, but I went to Catholic school as a child and my wife is Catholic, so I get it. When people ask about my family's religion I just say Catholic since its simpler/easier/requires no explanation. But I don't see why the Catholic thing matters much in this conversation anyway?

 

[Colon]

Yikes, the vote is happening tomorrow already. Missed that through all the news.

I have no idea what other potential demographic is plausibly called child molesters by liberals. That was the claim he made, I do not know what else he could have meant by it.

Edit: These posts are what I tried to unpack

We're all child molesters, remember?

No, they insinuate that people who match our demographics are child molesters, to our face.

 

[El_Machinae]

You mean into Hunter's deals? I mean go ahead, that will be a first though, getting a special counsel to look into the child's business dealings. Seems like a good precedent.

It's a great precedent.

Y'know, having executives that don't have wide financial entanglements complicating issues would be a good thing. One of the major problems with Trump is that, because he's a billionaire, it's easier for him to have multi-web corruption. The emoluments he's received would not have been available to someone less wealthy.

So we live in a world where it's easier to bribe a billionaire president. Or a president whose children have international webs of finance that they benefit from.

 

[thecrazyscot]

I am so thoroughly exhausted by all this. Despite how ugly things have already been, the next 48+ hours are going to be so much uglier.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

I can't wait for it to be over as well.

 

[Sommerswerd]

OK I've got it now. It essentially means that you're not really in any position to be able to understand why/how you're wrong so your wrongness is understandable, and you're content to be wrong, because again, you likely can't even perceive the flaws and nuances in the distinctions that can be drawn between the things you're mistaking/equivocating.

Its like when someone who's not black and hasn't studied African American history tells me that "MLK believed in content of character not color of skin"... my reaction is essentially... "No... that's not correct at all... but close enough... considering."

 

[Kyriakos]

If Trump loses, will he flee to Russia or Turkey?

I really doubt he only joked that he will leave the country if he loses to someone like Biden.

People might misinterpret your posts less if they were less vague and cryptic. I don't know how to digest the post where you said people call you/your demographic pedos.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

@Sommerswerd I don't really know but I will say that in your example I am not black but did study black history, just at a different school.

I am not a conservative, but I did live in a town full of them that has an awful lot in common with his town. A few towns, actually; living a lot of different places was a drawback/advantage of being an army brat. To come full circle, I didn't even move to the Illinois to go to college - I was a high school dropout and had nowhere else to go except move in with relatives!

Stemmy college came much later and was a different state/town.

 

[Drakle]

@Farm Boy Is always incoherent and then gets offended when anybody wrongly states his position.
