Hound is a complete crap4brains. I don't think that the majority of Americans are with him, or agree with his views. I don't think he understands Americans very well. He understands what sets off MAGAmericans.
His argument amounts to More Americans voted for Trump because they were tired of being called racists. So yeah, if we ignore all the obvious racism on the right, it should just go away by itself, or something. Meanwhile, he has no problem calling DEI racist.

How do you argue against this level of dumb? If this is what passes for considered thought in Hound's mind, he's only good for targeted mocking. "Crap4brains" is being generous.

Allow me to begin with this. The expressions on the faces of the protesters clearly indicate their enjoyment in holding up the signs depicting Trump, Musk, and Vance as Nazis. It's understandable that participating in a march and displaying these signs can be cathartic, providing a release for the stress of losing an election. However, one must wonder if they consider how unappealing this may appear to the voters they need in the upcoming elections.

These protests appear to resemble a group therapy session for far-left cult members more than anything else! When independents and moderate Democrats observe progressives displaying signs like the one in this post, most tend to disengage from the sheer absurdity on display. They dismiss the messages of the progressive movement because individuals like myself recognize that such images resemble a group therapy session. None of us are interested in understanding the reasons behind the need for therapy among those who hold these signs.

The actions being taken by progressives at protests across the country are likely to impact the 2026 election, and it may not bode well for the Democratic Party. Progressives are a detrimental force within the Democratic Party.

So, HoH, you deny that Elon is a big supporter of right-wing causes in the world? Or you just deny the role of hyperbole in political discourse? Your tender feelings about how accurately rapacious billionaires and their lackeys are depicted are touching.

I once believed you were intelligent, but now I see that you are a progressive who is too afraid to acknowledge it!

Here are the facts. Musk was a Democrat only a few months back, but he has since shifted to the Republican side, citing that progressive ideology has veered so far left that it now resembles religious cult ideology.

If you were able to step back from your progressive views, you might acknowledge that Trump has a former Democrat leading the Department of Health and Human Services, along with Tulsi Gabbard likely becoming our next president, overseeing national intelligence. However, your lack of understanding is obscuring your judgment, as you seem unable or unwilling to confront the facts.

The reality is that Democrats are defecting and discovering a place within the Republican Party, rather than the reverse. Can you acknowledge that some Democrats are departing from the party and it's because of progressive ideology?

My question is, if we aim to win elections, shouldn't we focus on increasing voter turnout? Why would independents or Republicans consider joining the party if doing so implies that they must accept the notion that Republicans are essentially Nazis? It's absurd!

Nope. He changed years ago, in part because he couldn’t accept the gender decision of his own child, and in part because he couldn’t deal with mask mandates without throwing a tantrum.

Only a short while ago, the people who are now telling America to endure ‘pain’ and watch their retirement portfolios drop by 20% and to suck it up and pay 25% for everything so that a tax cut for wealthy folks can be financed by a conman, were the same fragile and selfish people who flipped out over ‘mask mandates’ during COVID, and under a different Trump Administration.

This former Democrat is departing from the party, and while she doesn't identify as a Republican, she has certainly experienced a realization about the foolishness of the progressives within the Democratic party.

The youth vote is slipping away from us. We are gradually diminishing our support among the black and Hispanic voters. What will it take for the Democratic Party to recognize that the progressive movement is detrimental to its core?

This recent video from a progressive rally illustrates a small instance of how progressives are driving the youth of America toward the Republican side.

The testimony this young woman shares is devastating for the future of the Democrat party!

Perhaps her absence has now been filled a few times over.
