Master Threads
Couple of things.

did I just understand what you typed correctly. You are in favor of the government controlling our lives? And you think general Sherman was heroic or even a good man

The Civil War was another war fought over greed and money. Brother versus brother. Horrible

My great grandfather fought for the state of Georgia in the Civil War after he resigned from West Point.
I also had relatives from the state of New York that fought for the union in the Civil War. Both sides agreed that what Sherman did was atrocious
everybody from Robert E Lee to Ulysses Grant Abraham Lincoln

General Sherman was a fvcking piece of shit

i’m assuming you are from the north if your ancestors supposedly marched with Sherman which actually meant burning raping and pillaging towns in the state of Georgia from Atlanta to savannah . Burning towns to the ground and leaving women and children starving
That bastard should have been hung.
His troops actually destroyed a town that my family was living in with only women and children in it. You say that name down here you’re probably going to get your ass kicked even today


Nothing heroic about what that bastard did



any thoughts on this @TheRealJohnCooper My fellow Georgian
It’s only a war crime if you lose the war. Plus if I’m not mistaken old honest Abe approved of Sherman’s plan. Sorry, my neoconfederate is showing again.
 
I have been trying to figure out just exactly how I feel about this shit going on. I go from somber to pissed to angry, and just start all over again. I am getting a bad feeling about where we are headed. I don’t want war but will stand up and fight if needed. I just don’t think we are going to be able to avoid it. I have no doubt which side will be victorious, but know one will win.

Honestly, I think more is going on than we know. There are a lot of things that don’t add up. Things seem fucky. Just hope our side is ultimately doing the fucking.
Still holding.

I hope you are right. I see him completely fucking this country in his first 72hrs and see everything I have worked for to provide a good life for my family just going down the drain. I’m a project superintendent and have 3 jobs going right now and none of them were bid with $5.00 diesel. On a light day, just one of my jobs burns 1,000 gals, that’s a $3,000 increase in cost every day. We are already talking about how many hands we are going to have to cut to compensate for a $15,000/wk cost increase and that’s just in fuel. Doesn’t include any other input costs which are also going to go up. I don’t think most of this country realizes how bad it’s fixing to get.

edit: that’s if fuel goes up that much. That’s what our suppliers are telling us what we could see in the next year.

I wish I could like this more than once.

I feel you. The die has been cast regardless. Whether it be Q, Trump, or We the People, there will be a fight. Good over evil. God always wins 😏
 
Anyone else here laughing at New Mexico?? They did it to themselves ... now live with it.
I don't believe they honestly voted blue. It was one of the states that was supposed to be in play.

Anyone who believes Trump had a shot in Cali can't believe that state went blue. The whole state lives off of fracking.
 
For those looking to convince their hard-headed friends and neighbors to come over to our side, here are some strategies I plan to employ:
  • Give the new administration the chance that the other side never gave Trump.
  • Highlight anything positive the new administration accomplishes or does, and if they don’t have positive accomplishments highlight their positive intentions.
  • Empathize with the motives and intentions of the other side while pointing out common ground in desired outcomes.
  • Stick as much as possible to provable facts, data, and outcomes in conversation, with plenty of common sense mixed in.
  • Look to highlight inconsistencies between beliefs, policies, and outcomes, but never in a way that puts the other person on the defensive.
  • Keep emotion out of the discussion except when using it logically to support an argument.
  • Acknowledge things I’ve been wrong about.
  • Call out Republican sins of the past.
  • Call out the sins of Trump.
  • Never, ever become what I don’t like about them.
Anyone else have any strategies? If so, please recommend.
This is a fools errand.
The left won’t care. They are irrational. You cannot “out nice” or explain something to them with civility. Have you not been paying attention.
bringing a pillow
To a knife fight got us all these rinos and the wool pulled over so many peoples eyes.
I wish we could be as you described but you’re only convincing yourself.

I'd say if you are going to try to reason with them it can't be more than one point.

They view a continued conversation on the topic as an attack on their person because of how our society coddles these days (especially the young).

I wouldn't completely give up on conversation but 'deep' conversation isn't the way these days unfortunately.
 
I guess the original 13615 post got zapped as I could see nothing wrong with the guy talking about the increased cost of diesel to the tune of $3,000/day for his projects.

I also learned a new word that I'll never use in a sentence.
Good. hopefully they don't post like that ITT again.

I welcome them to post again if they can keep it PG13 instead of X-rated.
