Name one thing you agree with the opposing side on.

[TTQ64]

States' rights. I think like 90% of stuff should be handled at the state level.

If you knew the racist origin of states rights would you still be for it?

[PostmodernProphet]

By "open borders" do you mean they want immigration?

no.....

[Aimée]

Here is how I would deal with illegal immigration if nobody wants to build a wall

1) Enforce current immigration law
2) Prevent anyone not born here from receiving ANY welfare benefits at all.
3) Prevent anyone not born here from entering the public school system
4) Any business found to hire illegal aliens will be fined $10,000 per day per illegal and whistleblowers will get 10% finders fee

Do these four things and you won't need a wall because you remove the magnet that draws illegals here.

Absent that, a 25 foot wall, with 15 foot moorings barbed wire trenches on each side. Towers every 200 yards manned 24/7 with trained ex military snipers with orders to shoot anyone who attempts to climb said wall

Yeah, great you claim to not support sanctuary cities but the party you vote for does that makes you complicit

Those four points that you stated, I actually agree with. Those are excellent ideas.

Oh, I see. Us Mainers have an independent streak, meaning that I don't march in lockstep with any party. I am not a big one for groupthink.

I am also not a proponent for acting like a horse's ass just because someone doesn't agree with me. If you are willing to be nice and learn from each other, great. I don't cotton to keyboard warrior edge lords.

Hello Adolf_Twitler,



It would be a GIANT mistake to assume that Republican posters at JPP are representative of Republicans everywhere. This place is where people who can put up with trash-mouths ostensibly come to talk about politics, but in many cases all they come here for is to vent their frustration with the other side which they don't understand and refuse to try.

Granted, but if these forum Trump Peddlers are voters and not just Russian Bots, they are the ones that are egging on their leaders just like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and the idiots on Fox News who keep threatening Congressional leaders they won't vote for them in upcoming elections.

So it's like a disease in pandemic mode! It's easy to compare Republicans to the zombies you see in the movies and TV shows- because their ill intent spreads much like that!

So racism is now defined as the founding fathers not wanting an overly abusive federal government?

[Aimée]

NOTHING... BUT multiple ‘ people here often wish violence and death to others... it's a JPP "tradition"....they do because they can...just scroll on by...

Ah. Okay, thank you. I have to stop letting my curiosity override anything else. I am so curious about others' thought processes around things like this.

[USFREEDOM911]

Since this thread was about "Name one thing you agree with the opposing side on.", I agree with the JPP liberals who think Desh is a total nut bag.

I know about segregation and the origin of states' rights. It doesn't mean states rights isn't a good thing.

[StoneByStone]

Yes, it is all leftists and yes ALL democrats are leftists.

You can make this easy for me. List five things the democrat party has done to keep illegal immigrants out of this country. List five

Democrats are Centrists. Virtually all Democrats are Capitalist. That is starting to change now, but Leftists are still a small minority in the DNC.

They've deported large numbers of illegals, they've build physical barriers in certain areas that were having lots of illegals pour in, they argued against amnesty, offered Trump money for increased security, and had cameras put up along the border.

I know about segregation and the origin of states' rights. It doesn't mean states rights isn't a good thing.

Then you don't really know the origin.

[evince]

I doubt it.

And of course you have set an impossible condition for relinquishing your hatred. Suggests a fear to move away from it, a weakness. As if it is a security blanket. A fear of arguing on the basis of merit alone.

And that is so ridiculous.

You have a good grasp of the issues, an ability to make excellent powerful points.

Why not let them stand on their own power?

because the enemy we fight is misinformation and the people who spread it for power


they must be vanquished

I hate lies and the lying liars who lie


lies destroy everything good


the fight for truth must be won

[Legion]

Leftists are still a small minority in the DNC.

Just so you know .... In the charity world it's a well known fact that conservatives give more to
to charities than liberals do .
