Random Politics Stuff Thread...

We have a bar/restaurant here in town that has publicly advertised that all TSA agents that work at the Lubbock airport will eat and drink at their establishment until the government figures out their shit. Pretty cool of them.

On Tucker though, I think we do have to share power with them. Not because it's a good thing or something anyone should ever want, but it's just the reality when they've become as powerful as they are (with plenty of help from our elites, sadly). Most of us grew up in the post-Cold War era where the US was the lone superpower in the world, and that's unfortunately not the case anymore.

Yes. It’s just fantasy to pretend otherwise.

The good news is that they are not as dogmatic as the Soviets. They are more gangster communists. Those types, the money usually gets them to come around.

I dont agree with everything Trump does either. He rarely agrees with anything he does, though. He seems to be more aligned with the dems than the constituents. Massie is pretty much the same thing for that matter.

Hard disagree. We don't have to do anything.

I don't know where China is power wise and even what we're talking by power. Economically? Militarily? Everything?

Personally I don't think they're as strong as they project.

But sharing implies a partnership, and fuck that. If they were a western style democracy that believed in freedom and human rights that would be fine.

But they're not.

So I'm not willing to share dick with them. I would oppose their influence every chance I got.

They are both fiscally conservative and anti-war. That's the only thing conservative about them. They both oppose Trump on pretty much everything. It's almost like they go out of their way to do so.

Bro, you know nobody hates the CCP more than I do. Of course they're as evil as it gets and I don't want a partnership with them. If it were up to me, we'd go back to the iron curtain days and not do business with them at all, just have two separate worlds.

I'm just saying too many elites have helped make them so powerful over the last three decades that we can't push them around like we can most countries of the world.

We should have finished them off after the USSR fell, after Tieneman Square, but the elites made a deal with them instead. I noticed Smitty said above that their rise to this point was inevitable, but it really wasn't if the right thing had been done back then. But it wasn't, and now they are where they are.

I agree that the elites have already given them concessions, which I strongly disagree with. So at this point I am in the better late than never camp. No more. They have nothing we can't produce ourselves. I want absolutely nothing to do with them.

They have literal concentration camps for Uighurs right now. Not fake AOC temporary detention center concentration camps, but real ones.

But people love their slave labor goods too much.
