    ROFL Owen is a thick-skulled fool. I am glad that Destiny owned this dude and called him out on his bullshit. I’ll have to watch the whole video.

      Black beard guy is a Kick streamer called Destiny who was banned from Twitch for asking redneck militias to mow down BLM protesters because he thought BLM was hurting Biden’s poll numbers.

      Blonde beard guy is Owen Shroyer who works for Alex Jones and went to prison for January 6th.

      Uncensored America is a litigation troll that gets student Republicans to invite them to hold a debate, and then announces they’re inviting PR disasters like these two so they can sue the university if they try to back out.

    This is pretty much it. They latch on to keyword definitions and don’t bother to educate themselves about the topics on discussion.

    “What cities are the most expensive to live in?” THE ONES THAT PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE IN, PAL, THAT’S HOW CAPITALISM WORKS

    All the republicans/conservatives have as arguments are empty one liners that project their fears and at the same time reveal who they really are.

          It’s a bit of a long story and probably would reveal a bit more than I’m comfortable with.

          TL;DL: I started to realize that the Christians I was hanging around didn’t actually care about the political issues they said they did.

          2016 was the first election where I didn’t vote Republican. 2018 was the first election I voted Democrat down the line. 2020 was the first election I donated, supported, and campaigned for a democratic candidate (Bernie).

    You assume that any GOP is going to see the whole clip.

    Remember Paul Ryan? He was pushing a video of him ‘destroying’ then President Obama.

    Ryan’s clip showed him asking Obama a question and Obama looking mildly perturbed.

    What the clip didn’t show was Obama answering every point.

    I love the democracy vs. republic talking point on the conservative side. It’s not new, I first encountered it in 2005.

    “We’re not a rectangle you idiot, We’re a square!!!” -every conservative dumbass

      I didn’t see it until later, but yeah, it’s been around for years. It crops up every now and then from right-wingers trying to test the waters for being overtly anti-democracy. What I found scary was how much more common it got, and at higher levels. I remember a fucking senator repeating that line.

      I also use the square vs. rectangle analogy. Granted, we’re not going to convince fascists acting in bad faith, but it plays to an audience.

    No one brought any point proving that the more expensive cities have greater economic output though.

    One guy says it then references Uganda.

    Everyone needs facts

    I want a list of the expensive cities and what they bring to the table economically per capita
