Yeah, there's quite a few contradictions. Like they're the ones encouraging everyone to start having kids. If people say they can't afford it, conservatives tell them they will find a way. So if they can't afford it and do, they're bad patents. If they can't afford it and don't, they're selfish.

Also we shouldn't spend other people's money on these people's kids for lunches. But we can spend even more of that money putting them on the system? Like it would be cheaper to just give them a breakfast and lunch at school. So even looking at it from a libertarian tax is theft standpoint, it's still spending money on the kids. But more.

I've seen a ton of republican voters say they're against it when ever the subject comes up. The argument being that if they can't afford kids, they shouldn't have had kids. And if they can't afford to feed them, it's better to have the kids taken away.

Because you can't pick all of them up quick enough due to the five second rule.

It's not self made if she worked her way up. First she had to get a job. Then she had to have someone see something in her to move her up. Then someone had to talk good about her to someone else. Then through the power of networking, she made it to where she is. A lot of success in the entertainment industry is either landing the role that will get you set for life(think Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter), or getting to know people who know people. And for a lot of people, that means other people are helping lift you up.

One of the best ways to come to the conclusion that you need to better yourself in some areas is to be open to the idea you might have a bias.

But acknowledging you might have a bias does not mean it's there and you're OK with it

And not liking someone who is part of a marginalized group does not always mean a bias either.

But we can focus on more than one problem. Like I'm a gay guy. Should I nor focus on the potential genocide me and my community will likely face if the Republicans can win?

I wouldnt say stand in for socialism unless they're talking about socilism. It sounds like they're talking about capitalism with social benefits.

Yeah, at this point I think that's the big thing I'm looking at. Getting rid of Trump. I know who ever is next will also still be the right wing authoritarian the party wants, but they won't have the cult following. They're not a religious leader. It's at least something.

But either way, as a gay man, me and my boyfriend are thinking we might get out if the Republicans do win. He's on his last semester of nursing school. I have an associates in accounting, which isn't much, but I can hopefully still have some leverage with it.

I think it's less that they're voting for Trump more, and just that they're voting for Biden less.
