I think Joe Rogan (News Radio) and Elon Musk (let this sink in) are very funny; moreoever, both have become extremely successful in life. Gavin McGinnes never struck me as funny, though. Amusingly, Jen Kirkman is a terrible comedian, and hasn't been very successful -- her net worth and achievements are embarassingly insignificant. If anyone's a failed artist, it's her, relatively speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 When I see a response rate to such a poll question, I think a lot of Republicans have forgotten what sort of Republican values comprised the platform of the party in the 1950s. Consider the platform Eisenhower ran upon, and see how "progressive" it was. For instance, Ike had seen how an integrated society could be better than a segregated society during his time in the Army. Was Ike a perfect person? No, and neither was post-war America. But Ike's platform and actions (such as the 1957 Civil Rights Act) showed that he knew that he could change and improve as a person and as a country. How about the 1956 Platform meme? It is a little simplified compared to the actual platform, but read it and see how lost the Republican party of today has become: Federal assistance to low-income communities Extension of Social Security Asylum for refugees Extending minimum wages Improving the unemployment system Protecting the right of workers to form unions and bargain collectively Equal pay for equal work regardless of sex In between then and now, the Moral Majority, the Family Values people like Ralph Reed, and other similar no-nothing religious nuts have insinuated themselves into the party, and evil men have preyed upon their ignorance by using dog-whistle Culture War issues to divide America. Let check with Charles Barkley on this question: Charles is completely right. The leaders of the national Republican Party are all about seizing and holding power by any means necessary. They are not interested in the ideas or the concepts that the Republican party was founded upon. Let's check in on 1956 and President Eisenhower again, who will condemn them utterly by saying, "...if a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power." Thus, the national leader rolled over for Trump, because he helped them to maintain political power despite being an obvious RINO, and obvious con man, and an obvious moron. And many state government politicians have followed his authoritarian / racist horse$hit lead, spouting nonsense about stolen elections, proposing unconstitutional laws, and so on. And in doing so, they are attracting additional squadrons of imbeciles to take part politics. Unfortunately, most of these folks are as ignorant of how government works or how to govern, and their ideas are simple and wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
