One parting shot: “If Bernie had won “ won exactly what, the throne? Like magic Bernie could get congress and scotus to do all this wonderful socialistic litany of things you covet?

The racists, bigots, and violent people would mostly be hiding still but Donald gave them permission to act out their hate when he was elected. It's very sad.

So Darin, what part of LENT do you not get? From: Darin Steffl Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2023 12:02 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] It has begun Evan and others, You guys really are delusional if you don't see what the Republicans are doing to strip away rights. At least call them out if you're going to vote their way. Everything I shared were statements of fact easily verified with a Google search with reputable sources. It's sad that I can share facts and then some want to shut down the conversation. Is that because you don't want to be wrong or don't think you're associated with people who hold more extreme views than you? I'm asking you not to be complicit in the hate that's in the republican party. Speak out and tell your representatives to stop attacking people. Be kind and empathetic. Evan, why are you worried about me for calling out hateful people? I'm worried for you if you think that's wrong for me to do. You should be against all the attacks on human rights too. I believe you and your wife, Sandra, to be good people. But there are some on the right who would tell your wife to go back to her country because they're xenophobic and racist. Wouldn't that bother you if someone said that to your wife? Call out the bad that any party partakes in. During the Floyd riots, I didn't agree with any violence or destruction of property and I'm in full support of people being arrested who committed crimes. Same with the people on January 6. But why does the right think January 6 was a peaceful tour and no one should be arrested? It's hypocritical. Same with law enforcement. We shouldn't support any profession unconditionally. That's dangerous. I support good cops but think we should hold bad ones accountable. This is all common sense stuff but the right thinks all cops are good which is false. There's bad people in every profession so let's weed them out. I have some sick friends and family that think the murder of George Floyd was justified, even after watching the full video of him being suffocated!! Sick people with sick minds. The rest of the world watches our country with disgust that half the people hate themselves and their country so much that they continue to vote republican. The new republican party is far more different and extreme than the old one, which was somewhat reasonable and bipartisan. There is no question that democrats are better for all people in terms of human rights, equality, and protections against employers and corporations. They pass more bills to protect people, the environment, and the world than the right. That does NOT mean the party is perfect and that there aren't shady politicians on both sides. It all comes back to calling out the bad things either party tries to do so we end up in the middle. Being in the middle, centrist, should not be an extreme view. The facts and opinions I shared are centrist views so if you think I'm crazy or you're offended, it's likely that your views are more extreme than you think. I could list more than enough Democrat ideas I don't agree with and just as many fiscal republican ideas I do agree with.

Like far right pastors and supporters who call for violence and murder of gay people, people of color, and liberals. I can find thousands of posts and video from Republicans calling for sick things but very few liberals saying the same things. I don't see far left people calling for violence and murder of people they disagree with. So while there are two sides, one side is better than the other, as in less violent and extreme. I'd take free college for all, free Healthcare, and more from the extreme left over the extreme right who wants to ban books, kill people they disagree with, try to overturn elections, cheat, lie, steal, etc. Again, the left is the better choice when it comes to empathy and taking care of people. While an average republican might not agree with the far right, their silence is the same as being complicit in their sick beliefs. At least an average Democrat calls out the far left people like I do. I don't agree in wiping out all student loans, for example. And I've contacted democrats I've voted for to voice my opinions.

Re: [AFMUG] It has begun
What we have here is a failure to communicate. I may sound like a c theorist but what we have is two oligarchical factions that are fighting for control of an electoral mass of minds and using all the propaganda tools to manage that. The Monster money from both "factions" (because they aren't really one side so much or the other) is just used to manage the political resources. It's all about maintaining their wealth. Evidence of this is overwhelming when you look at the tax votes. The dems made noise about the reduction in wealth taxes but didn't _actually_ do anything about it. And Bidens announcements about tax the rich are posturing, not a snowballs chance in hell of going anywhere.. Right side is about keeping the worker bees slaving away with promises of easier ways to wealth and fear mongering, Left is about keeping the worker bees hoping for better care and fear mongering...

I don't agree with either sides' extremes but if I had to pick one side, everyone being taken care of, like socialism, I'd pick that over the extreme right who wants to murder anyone different than them. Like far right pastors and supporters who call for violence and murder of gay people, people of color, and liberals. I can find thousands of posts and video from Republicans calling for sick things but very few liberals saying the same things. I don't see far left people calling for violence and murder of people they disagree with. So while there are two sides, one side is better than the other, as in less violent and extreme. I'd take free college for all, free Healthcare, and more from the extreme left over the extreme right who wants to ban books, kill people they disagree with, try to overturn elections, cheat, lie, steal, etc. Again, the left is the better choice when it comes to empathy and taking care of people. While an average republican might not agree with the far right, their silence is the same as being complicit in their sick beliefs. At least an average Democrat calls out the far left people like I do. I don't agree in wiping out all student loans, for example. And I've contacted democrats I've voted for to voice my opinions. I don't see Republicans calling out far right politicians who are spewing hate everyday. I wish they would but since they aren't, I assume they agree with the hate speech and calls for violence. The right is far sicker than the left in every regard. Donald being elected over Hillary will go down in history as one of the worst political events in our country. We would be a much nicer and stable country if Hillary won. The racists, bigots, and violent people would mostly be hiding still but Donald gave them permission to act out their hate when he was elected. It's very sad.

Re: [AFMUG] It has begun
I wouldn't put Putin on the left. Having said that, it's my opinion that the far left and far right converge, no meaningful difference as far as their damage potential to humanity. I agree with Steve that actual centrists are what is needed, and along with it some compromise between parties.

Re: [AFMUG] It has begun
I loved what the Gov of Utah told a bunch of school kids yesterday. “Republicans are wrong about Democrats and Democrats are wrong about Republicans. Why? Here’s why — because, what we’re doing now is we’re only listening to the most extreme voices in those parties. So Republicans are only listening to the craziest Democrats and assuming that all Democrats are like that. Democrats are only listening to the craziest Republicans and assuming all Republicans are like that. When the difference between the average Democrat and the average Republican, really isn’t that big.” From: Mike Hammett Sent: Friday, March 24, 2023 12:37 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] It has begun There's no meaningful difference between authoritarian left and authoritarian right, which are what catch the most attention. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP From: "Darin Steffl" To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2023 9:40:58 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] It has begun To be fair, anything left leaning is better for humanity.

Re: [AFMUG] It has begun
Does string theory govern the physical laws of matter? Does the multiverse exist? Does the higgs boson create gravity? Is the universe local? Are phonons real? Is matter superposition real? Do vacuum fluctuations exist and if so what realm originates them? Do pilot waves explain away the double slit effect? Lots of people believe in things that others say do not exist...
