I live in Nebraska and I feel the same way. I go out and vote in every election because that’s my civic duty, if the majority of people in your area with our same feeling actually went out and vote it is possible to become a swing state.
That being said my personal opinion is if you don’t vote you forfeit your right to complain about politics. You didn’t voice your opinion when it was important, so you shouldn’t voice it when it’s not.

Yea I’m not gunna lie that was a punch to the gut, fucking bull shit
LMFAO! I had a feeling he was conservative. It don’t know about a terrible shot, he got damn close but if his school had a shooting club he was probably still better than someone untrained but could still be bad enough not to make the team. Like when I got cut from golf, a no cut sport, half way through the first day
Valid, still prefer the guillotine
Your not wrong I’m just bringing my personal experience to the table. If you call yourself a Nazi or a Confederate ext. you really can’t call yourself an American in my opinion. Politics and the 24 hour news cycle has turned otherwise reasonable people into completely unhinged uninformed morons. Unfortunately those just across the aisle are to chicken shit to argue with the loudest 10%. To them it’s that or they loes which apparently more important than democracy. Honestly the more I type the more I agree with you
You opinions are yours, but I honestly don’t want anyone shot, or think they have to shoot someone. I just read too much, and think too much. Theories are theories and nothing more I nearly speaking in the sense of his point of view.
I truly believe that spending your life in solitary confinement with no access to anything but your thoughts would be FAR worse than putting them to death. Let them stew in what they have done for as long as possible. It cost less than execution thanks to the ridiculous appeal process afforded to death row inmates.
In an attempt to answer your questions: 1.a. see above 1.b. regardless of reason, assassination has generally turned out badly. I love the time travel joke about killing Hitler but a different guy does the same thing. 2. The one to be executed losses their right to appeal and prove their innocence, as we know there have been many people wrongfully executed. They murderer of said death row inmate just becomes one. Loes loes 3.a.currently the president can legally have his political rival assassinated, or so I’m told, and this is far too much power for anyone to weild. 3.b. I don’t really see the death penalty as just 4. Yes every case needs to be evaluated separately. Assassinating a brutal dictator to bring people democracy, probably could have been done without murder. A woman being assaulted who accidentally shoots and kills her attacker, totally justified, panic reaction, give them therapy. A psycho who totrues, kills and eats babies, death by 1000 cuts.
I hope this helps, I hope my answers are sufficient and understandable. I’m happy to clarify if needed
I’m not sure if you have to, but I know it is on the form. It’s just a convenient time to ask, like if you want to be an organ donor.
I generally try to give the benefit of the doubt, being in Nebraska I know quite a few true Republicans who regret voting for Trump the first time, voted for biden begrudgingly and can’t believe what’s happened to their party. Obviously they haven’t been paying attention for years and Trump and the MAGAts finally woke them up.
That being said I completely agree with your overall view of our current political catastrophe.
Oh no matter what side, if you’re shooting people you are bad people
I understand the want to paint things in black and white, especially in these kind of extreme circumstances. However, the “two party” system has an insane variety of greys. I’d love to be able to say “Republican = Bad” “Democrats = good” but that’s not how the world works. There are as many ‘good’ Republicans as ‘bad’ Democrats. You’re good if you work for the people your bad if you don’t. I generally disagree with blanket statements but everyones opion matters
I don’t care about the reason for this post. I just want to say, this is my personal favorite scene/s of ‘Malcom in the Middle’. Lois, the hard ass, no nonsenses, authoritarian mother in a moment of vulnerability and her 4 otherwise defiant sons band together to defend their mom by destroying the family reunion.
I wish I could be such a good son
Edit: my wife corrected my spelling, grammar, ect. I love her dearly (shhhh she’s reading over my shoulder)
Uppity Yuppities?
My personal opinion used to be “those who are beyond change, those who are so cruel, vindictive, undeniably atrocious, evil, maniacal ect. should be put to death, removed from the world they clearly shouldn’t be in”. After many long discussions with my closest friend I have come to believe that death is too light a punishment. Those who truly deserve the harshest judgment should live a long life, in complete isolation, devoid of all pleasure, entertainment, contact, ect. Take away all that humans crave besides basic human needs, let them truly suffer for their crimes.
Obviously, every individual instance of any crime should be dealt with by a fair and balanced jury, judge, defense, and prosecution, with as much fact and evidence as can be attained without prejudice or predetermined judgment based on personal biases.
I’m obviously long winded but am super happy with the engagement on my comment. I don’t like arguing but I love hearing others opinions! Thank you all!
My running theory is he is a moderate republican who, after January 6th, realized Trump is going to kill democracy. He donated shortly after, but with the recent uncertainty decided solve the problem with his own hands. Unfortunately, he made a rookie mistake and held his breath instead of breathing out before taking the shot, didn’t properly sight in his scope, and / or just choked.
I’m not in anyway supporting any form of violence let alone an assassination attempt on a former president. This is not the way to conduct democracy, there are much better ways to address the current issues. I am merely trying to point out why he was so close but still missed his target as if it were a paper target not a living being who, regardless of transgressions, doesn’t deserve to have their life taken from them.
Criticism is welcome and appreciated
