    Hey, they also have the guy whose brain was partly eaten by a worm. The worm must have found his brain fresh enough.

        People like my dad who understand that Trump tried to thwart democracy and will not stand for that but also will never vote blue no matter what.

            Not OP but my parents are the same way. It’s because Bilary (as they love to call them) is evil/corrupt/etc

            Not sure why Republican corruption never matters. If I could figure that out I might be able to convince them to vote not-Republican.

              If they see Billary as corrupt, but not trump, then they’re fully indoctrinated with political propaganda. At that point you probably can’t reach them, because they’re no longer basing their decisions from reality. Additionally, I don’t see how two politicians who are largely irrelevant today being corrupt would stop them from voting from other candidates. It’s just an excuse that was given to them by their cult leaders.

                I feel you. My hope is slowly fading…I miss my family and I am not looking forward to this election. I’m scared it will be my final straw and I won’t see them again. :(

              Baptist

              Does helping the poor not align well enough with his Christian values? That’s what I don’t understand about these people, man. They make their religion this huge part of their identity, and then they vote polar opposite. I know a bunch of people like this from my hometown, and it just baffles me. It’s part of the reason why I was eager to move away. Ask your pops how the actions of the Republican party align with Matthew 22:37-40. He can’t explain away that one. It’s literally the entire foundation for Christianity.

                I don’t disagree at all, but the southern Baptist convention has their own version of it they have created that caters to networking business owners who are willing to direct deposit their tithes. These people hate taxes and abortion and have melded the left wing to fit everything they hate in their minds.

                I live in one of the poorest, most violent, most racially segregated major cities in the country. My church was extremely homophobic and covert racist. The churches in my city are still mostly racially segregated. All missions went outside of the city/country because they blamed the poor people in our city for being poor and weren’t worth helping.

                Shit sucked and I just tried to enjoy the free sweet tea and fried okra until I turned 18 and never went back.

                  It will never cease to amaze me how many repuglicans will happily give ~10% of their income to some random church while ranting endlessly about taxes!

      “hahaha guy had a medical condition hahaha what a loser”. You do realize that it’s a possibility from having a tapeworm? And that it doesn’t really pose any complications and saying “it ateba part of their brain” is basically lying?

        There was a void in his brain scans. The worm literally ate a chunk of his brain, this is known fact now.

          You understand that’s offensive correct? I imagine you get why but as an example.

          Would you rather a hair lip leader or a leader without a hair lip, aiming all other things are equal.

          Aside an aside if all other things were equal then cognitive function would be as well. That form of cist displaces grey matter, it doesn’t eat it and the brain fog is a result of inter cranial pressure increasing because of the reduced space. Once the cist is gone the pressure reduces the fog fades, you’re buying into medical bigotry and pretending it’s fine.

          That says something about you not him though I don’t particularly like the guy either way but it’s certainly not because of a medical issue you wouldn’t even know about if it weren’t for him disclosing it.

      That’s not even what happened, you sound bigoted and ignorant. Dislike him because he’s problematic for many personal and political issues that have nothing to do with a misunderstanding of a medical issue.

      “Brain worms” dont eat brain, read a book.
