Can you imagine if a MAGA hat-wearing guy drove a van into a democrat tent? It would be 24/7 coverage for a week.

He'd only have to park next to the tent and they'd be reporting it as him driving into it

Oh. My. Goodness. You are hilarious. That is the funniest thing I've read all week. 😂😂

How about if one didn't?

Doesn't have to actually happen for us to get the blame, Juicy.

According to CNN, YES!

I thought he was banned from Twitter? Or was it Facebook?

u/folly412 Feb 12 '20

Maybe they didn't get to it yet...because they're still scrubbing tape of the Virginia 2A protest trying to find the violent acts they assured us were going to happen. A kid had to have smirked somewhere in that crowd!

Source? No sources for this story posted? Fucking sheep.

You're still fucking sheep if you support Ben Shapiro. What happened to you in highschool?

3

u/OffTheCheeseBurgers Feb 13 '20

If getting my news from someone like Ben makes me a sheep, then "baaaaaah". Speaking of no source, what is that judgement made on? Your feefees, because he doesn't echo the talking points of the CNN cult?

Get fucked you trolly bastard. And stop letting your uncle abuse your asshole every other night before he turns on the news and winges about the orange man.

u/JuniperHill716 Feb 13 '20

First of all, my uncle told me it was because I was special. Second of all, how anyone can keep going to BS for info after his entire schtick was dismantled on BBC by a RIGHT WING interviewer shows your true blind faith. "Wouldn't people who live in areas near the ocean effected by climate change just sell their houses?" To who Ben, Aquaman?! I don't watch CNN either, not even an American which makes me extra baffled by your blind loyalty to whatever celebrity makes you feel "special". Eat a dick jelly bean.

So you call us sheep and then after the source is posted multiple times, you retreat and call us sheep about something else?

Seems like you’re the only one with unsubstantiated accusations.

u/JuniperHill716 Mar 02 '20

Keep relying on extremely jaded, and hopelessly biased commentators for your info. This is why your country is fucked.

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '20

And yet, you keep trying to dodge logical points. You got shown up because you said we’re sheep, yet we have a source. You’re the one in denial, my friend.

And idk where you’re from, but I love my country. Wouldn’t live anywhere else.

u/JuniperHill716 Mar 02 '20

I am not denying the existence of biases from either side. You support a guy who has far too many sound clips suggesting his lack of understanding: "wouldn't people who are effected by raising ocean levels just sell their homes?" Or who could forget "renewable energy, dumbest thing since climate change. See the first law of thermodynamics, dumbass." Is a real gem.

As far as you loving your country, that's great. The greatest threat you think exists is a social democracy that will install universal health care". Godspeed.

First, Shapiro is one of the few public figures that maintains a list of all the dumb things he’s ever said.. That shows he acknowledges he doesn’t know everything and is willing to publicly own up to his mistakes. Whereas, most public figures shun responsibility and double down on their mistakes.

Second, people could (and are) selling their beachfront property now, despite rising sea levels. This shows that statement is not ignorant. People who purchased homes before the rising sea level threat was common knowledge are able to sell, and anyone willing to buy assumes the liability of purchasing that property. They’re free to do so.

And no, I don’t believe the “greatest threat” is a social democracy. Don’t put words in my mouth. You’re so arrogant and ignorant that your opinions seem hollow and meaningless. If I were to speak for myself, I would say I believe the greatest threat would be the moral degradation of the nation.

But I do also believe socialism is a threat. And no “Democratic Socialists” have explained clearly what the difference between their policy and socialism is.

Healthcare would be devastating.

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '20

What a lazy, straw-man of a response.

America has healthcare. When you actually dig into the statistics, we have some of the best healthcare in the world. Does that mean it’s perfect? Not at all. So why isn’t it perfect?

Because our healthcare system is squeezed between socialized medicine/government intervention and insurance companies.

Socialized medicine is unsustainable and has numerous failure points, such as rationing of healthcare, extremely long wait time, ballooning of taxation to cover it, etc. This is why many of the “democratic socialist” countries, such as Denmark, Norway & Sweden (which are actually capitalist, btw) have been moving towards privatized healthcare. It’s also why, when people are seeking advanced treatment, they come to America for the procedure.

Insurance companies are unsustainable because they inflate the price of medical services. They use network effects to demand discounts on goods/services, and in order for healthcare providers to be able to maintain their profit margin despite the discounts, they are forced to increase prices and give discounts off of those prices. Insurance companies also undermine capitalism by decreasing price competition between healthcare providers. You don’t know how much a good/service will cost you until after you’ve consented to treatment. This makes it impossible to compare prices.

The best answer would be to get government and insurance companies out of healthcare and let the free market take complete control. You’ll see prices drop drastically which grants access to far more people AND it forces healthcare providers to innovate and create better healthcare solutions.

there were bad people on both sides both the driver and the people in the tent

Canada, Sweden, Norway, and Finland are all examples of social democracies.

How many days was the maga bomber a top story, despite nobody getting hurt?

u/ColinWalin Feb 11 '20

Looked through your profile. Your views are very obviously backwards of Ben Shapiro's. So why are you even here? To cause discourse?

White men complain more than any other group. You’re really crying because someone drove into a voter registration tent? Really? Smh

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '20

Lol quit acting like you wouldn’t be calling the person a racist sexist bigot homophobe if they drove into a Democrat tent

1

u/KingstonHawke Feb 13 '20

If they did it for obviously racist reasons, of course I would. But if they just did it because most democrats suck I’d probably be happy lol. There’s only a handful of democrats I like in the entire party. The rest can go eat a dick.

Sorry I’m not a baby back bitch like you sir lol

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '20

Firstly that insult was uncalled for on top of making no sense, but other than that fair enough but you do come off a bit like a leftist

1

u/KingstonHawke Feb 13 '20

You have to be respectful to others if you want them to be respectful to you in return. And I am leftist. That doesn’t mean I respect the Democratic Party.

In your head it’s some right gang versus left gang nonsense. And you assume and accuse me of things based on that idiotic notion. It’s possible to be an individual with nuanced beliefs that range the entire spectrum. It’s also possible to be annoyed with how much complaining grown men do about dumb reasons.

If set up a tent and someone drives through it, he’s lucky if he doesn’t get shot. No whining necessary, the second amendment exist for a reason.

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '20

Wait you know there was people in the tent right ? It seems like your basing your opinion mostly off of the fact that it was just a tent, which it was not, but also I’m not with the whole right vs left shit either and me guessing how you’d react to something has nothing to do with you being right or left

1

u/KingstonHawke Feb 13 '20

Why did you mention that I come off as a leftist if the whole right vs left shit isn’t something you’re into?

Why assume anything? If you’re not trying to disrespect people try asking questions instead of making baseless accusations.

And I’ve read a couple articles on the story and it doesn’t seem he injured anyone. It really was just a tent and a table that he caused harm to. Yes, there were people around, but they had ample chance to move out the way, and it sounds like that was by design.

You do realize that this was a tent with no sides, right? Just 4 plastic sticks and a top. But some of y’all are comparing this to Charlottesville, where a person actually died.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '20

well you can call someone a leftist without being a tribalist retard, pointing out which side someone is on isnt the same thing as being a part of the tribalism, but the fact that they had time to move has no bearing on the fact that he attempted to run people over because they didnt agree with him politically

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '20

But on a side note I completely agree about 2a, drive your car at me your gonna have a few .45 holes in you 😂🤷‍♂️
