Millions of American whites prefer a dictatorship

The Roman Historian Sallust once said "Few men desire liberty; most men wish only for a just master"

I remember posting that quote on Facebook once probably about 12 years ago. An older guy I worked with at the time chimed in that he was one of the few and how important liberty was to him.

Few years later he was spewing Trump bullshit.

It's to be expected for Christians (et al); a vast majority have been taught at a young age that the perfect society is one where a benevolent god makes all the decisions and you just shut up and do as you're told. It was never The People's Republic of Heaven; it's the Kingdom of Heaven.
- It was never The People’s Republic of Heaven; it’s the Kingdom of Heaven.
  a people's republic might be worse (ex: prc), make it a republic of heaven

America was founded as a dictatorship of Whiteness, but when Obama got elected they realized their power was under threat and became fascists.

I grow strong with each triggered conservative that downvotes this comment. Also, dope username
I will add that I don’t think that was a conscious reaction. We’ve decades of data showing that “overt” racism has been consistently declining, while “covert” racism has taken its place. That’s why you don’t see people saying “Obama was a bad president because he was black,” but they’ll complain about a tan suit.

Rather than exist in a society where members of all ethnic groups have an opportunity for success, millions of American whites would approve of a dictatorship.

Ten million would restore Donald Trump to the presidency by force.

Recent polls show that Biden and Trump are tied in the presidential race even though Trump said he would suspend parts of the Constitution and construct an all-powerful executive branch with him as the head.

Ain't it funny, those obsessed with freedom are willing to let someone control them if it means they "win"
- Later, once the tyranny starts to affect them: "Why did the liberals do this to me?"
That's not what polls are showing.

That's because they all think they are the special individual that will be given special treatment and that all the bad things will happen to groups they don't like.

Because they are stupid.

That's why we got the famous direct quote: "He's not hurting the right ones".

I'm sorry but can't we just put them in trains, and send them to their allocated "work camp "so they can see what it's like?
Not even for ever, just for a month or 2
- I wish I could downvote this level of trolling twice. Oh, wait, I can.
- The people who express this belief, but hey if you assume I'm talking about wite people the problem seems to be in your head.
  That's not where my mind went, my mind went to the equivalent of starving for 2 days people who don't think food should be a basic commodity.

Trump used that exact phrase. The dude can’t fix a toilet, let alone the US economy.
- He's so full of shit, he's never even used a toilet.
- I wasn't paying close attention (because of utter revulsion), but I hear leftist podcasts talking about how the economy was in good shape pre-pan. For context, they talk about ways the orange asshole will leverage dem policies to smear Biden. I assume this is correct because I hear it as a talking point from multiple different podcasts. Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong on this.

What the actual fuck is the article even?

It actually refers to “the white controlled media”

Get this stupid opinion/ racist shit out of here and make a community that aligns with your agenda

I think I agree with their central point, but the writing is terrible. Legitimately reads like the author forgot to take their ADHD medication before writing it.
- Now taking bets: ESL or AI?
So that fact offends you to acknowledge? Or are you actually claiming that it isn't a fact even though it is?
- The wording implies that the heads of big media groups being white has (significant) impact on "the media [...] choosing ratings over democracy".
  Corporations choosing profits above moral considerations is a significant component of capitalism. If a CEO chooses moral over profits they're a terrible CEO and will be replaced immediately.
  So the author is taking a core component of capitalism (choosing profits over morals) and claims that it only exists because of the colour of skin of people in higher-up positions.
  That's racist.
  They take something negative (choosing profits) and blame it on people with a certain attribute (white skin), while that attribute has nothing to do with the negative.
Seriously, I had to scroll down this far to find this? Their evidence is that millions of people support Trump, and Trump wants to be a dictator, ergo millions of people want a dictatorship. Sorry, not people: "whites".
So first, fuck Donald Trump. But while he's certainly said some wild shit, and I do believe that in his heart he would love to be a dictator, I'm pretty sure he's never said anything out loud like "I want to be a dictator". I'm sure a certain number of his fans would be happy to have him as Dear Leader, but most of them want him as President. And, just as many while people voted against Trump as for him, and a significant percentage of the country can't stand the fucker.
Meanwhile, Trump has been growing more popular with non-whites.
This article reads like a hit piece on "white people" by a 14-year-old.

Millions of Americans are stupid and don’t know how to use their brain. These are the same idiots who drive around town in a truck flailing a trump flag. These are the same morons that drive a Tesla because they think Elon is awesome.

Ya I don’t listen to those people.

Empty barrels make the most noise

Those millions of Americans have terrible opinions.

The USA votes it's president in with the Electoral College. Every poll talking about "voters ... tie ... blah ....blah ...blah" doesn't mean shit, cause the voters don't get to pick the president. Their representatives do. And guess what, their representatives don't have to represent them. They can vote however they want. They can even get elected and then switch parties to the bad guys team. Also, fuck the GOP.

Fun fact: As of 2023, the 2004 general election between Bush and Kerry is the only Presidential election since 1988 where Republicans have won the popular vote.
Yay for American democracy.
In 200 odd years there's been something like 1 case of a faithless elector. For all intents and purposes it's a filtered general vote. The electors just carry out their district/state's will.
- That's not the issue so much as the "rounding" in the way electoral college votes are distributed. Plus states that do "winner take all". It has the effect of skewing the results away from being proportional to the popular vote.
- That would be true if electoral votes were proportional to states' populations. As it is now, your vote counts (I think) six times more if you live in Wyoming vs if you live in California.

Millions of Americans don't understand the difference between a computer virus and a biological virus. Dumb people want dumb things.

They also think that if you eat fat it, without any transformation whatsoever, gets deposited in your body as the same fat
And they think fiber actually scrapes their blood vessels
People are just so dumb

Millions of Americans apparently have the collective IQ of grey paint.

Is grey smarter than fuschia?

But point it out and they'll never stop whining about it.

"Rage, rage against the dying of your privilege"

They would practice not voting then

Ah yes, judging by your username you sound like a reasonable, well adjusted person, not a lunatic at all.
- It was a poorly written trash article. Feel bad.
