2024 US Presidential Election Thread

[GBO Possum]

The 2020 election was a scam.
I'm not trying to convince anyone. It's what I believe to be the truth. That's all

Which clearly demonstrates the danger of "beliefs". Beliefs require no evidence, just an absence of critical thinking skills.

It might be time to remember this---

 

[GranTurNismo]

My viewpoint may never be proven, but it's what I believe to be true.

That’s called a delusion.

 

[Famine]

I searched, but the evidence has been wiped from Google.

You... have to see how nuts this sounds, surely? "I can't find this, therefore Google wiped it" and not "I suck at searching" or "It literally never existed".

What evidence in any case? There's no shortage of the original whining available on Google.

I can do the smell test. I knew, at the time that it didn't seem right.

What didn't?

My heels are dug in, and it hasn't changed.
My viewpoint may never be proven, but it's what I believe to be true.

Why, and why? What is stopping you from changing your mind in the face of mountains of evidence apart from a sunk cost fallacy or the inability to process loss?

Okay, Tony Schwartz swung and missed there. Trump won in 2016.

Just remember, what you are seeing and what you are reading is not what's happening,

It's hilarious to see Trump cultists enacting their favorite book, 1984.

Okay, Tony Schwartz swung and missed there. Trump won in 2016.

And he connected for a home run as Trump lost in 2020 and still can't bring himself to admit it. If he still believes he won the election that would mean he is running for a 3rd term, which is against the constitution (which he definitely doesn't care about either).

If you think, for one second, that Google doesn't show you what they want you to see, rather than what you want to see, you're insane.

If Google is so "rigged", why not use another search engine? Or are you too lazy to do so and find it more convenient to blame Google as opposed to the result not existing?

Since you've already disclosed that you searched and the evidence has been deleted "from Google" and then you cannot provide any supportive comments, you kind of scored an own-goal here.

 

[Famine]

Sure, Google's results are curated (I write for a website; I know this), but you're going straight to "Google wiped all evidence" of something you can't find on Google. Despite there being loads of contemporary news on this topic from multiple sources (including Fox and OANN) available very easily on Google. But you can't find it so Google wiped it, even though I can find it?

There's hundreds of search engines available, not just Google. Try DuckDuckGo, they're privacy-oriented. Also try archive.org (although they're not-for-profit, so you might think they're part of the leftist cabal). However you'll probably run into the same issue that you're just not very good at leveraging search engines.

I said "I believe".
See the bible. You know, the best selling book of all time?
Faith is a belief in something for which we have no evidence.
I don't care who agrees, or doesn't.

We know the playbook now.
Savor the flavor, because you can bet your sweet ass it won't happen again.

 

[Famine]

I said "I believe". Faith is a belief in something for which we have no evidence.

Cool. I asked why, you gave something you thought was evidence, the evidence was easily disproven and you claimed nefarious influence in wiping the evidence that would prove it.

Clearly just faith wasn't enough for you and you wanted evidence, but now you're backtracking to faith because the evidence doesn't agree with you. We have indeed seen this playbook before.

See the bible. You know, the best selling book of all time?

Yep. You can even buy Trump-endorsed Bibles now, with all profits going to the billionaire who has hundred of millions in liquidity, honest.

Although I'm curious which translation of the translation of the selectively anthologised translations this version is, and which sect it appeals to.

For that matter I'm curious which sect Trump appeals to, because he's not exactly the embodiment of a Christian...

I don't care who agrees, or doesn't.

Your incessant posting on the subject suggests that you do.

Lol, the silliest goal post move of all time.

I can't find the evidence b/c Google wiped it. Actually, I can't find the evidence b/c like God, it's just what my faith leads me to.

Okay
I've overlooked it a couple of times, now, but your punctuation really needs work.
Get your ghostwriter to check these posts.

I don't think Trump appeals to any particular religious sects, but rather red-blooded Americans who are sick to their stomachs with the garbage spewed by the current administration's progressive agenda.

Which agenda are you pushing? Who's your thumb on the scale for?
Why would the site "Administrator" spurn those of a certain viewpoint? Has this become a partisan website?

It still says Merry Christmas here, in December, and not Happy Holidays. That's something that may get overlooked, but I appreciate, because of the traditional American values.

Try harder.

Alternatively, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" (John 8:7).

I don't think Trump appeals to any particular religious sects, but rather red-blooded Americans who are sick to their stomachs with the garbage spewed by the current administration's progressive agenda.

Yet he pretends to be Christian and clearly is not.

On the bright side, at least he ignores pretty much the whole thing* as opposed to regular Christians who just pick and choose the bits they want to ignore.

Which agenda are you pushing? Who's your thumb on the scale for?
Why would the site "Administrator" spurn those of a certain viewpoint? Has this become a partisan website?

What are you waffling on about now?

First Google wipes your evidence that you don't need because you have faith, now GTPlanet itself is against you somehow, because I asked you why you thought the 2020 election was a scam... Crackers.

*It's his favourite book, yet he can't quote a favourite part; he can certainly quote Mein Kampf though.

[Pupik]

If you think, for one second, that Google doesn't show you what they want you to see, rather than what you want to see, you're insane.

Look, I get you're trying hard to fly the R flag in here, and I appreciate the sentiment of discussion. But don't even try to pull that weak-sauce, valueless "...if you think that X, then you're Y..." which is the mark of a programmed tool. And not just any tool, no; you've been told that you're a very special, right-handed screwdriver made of the finest pot metal, that's far better than all the imaginary left-handed screwdrivers out there. We know how to read and understand that construct is solely designed to "shut down" discussion. (Google may help you understand some of those words, but hey, it's a free country; try Yandex if you prefer.)

I'm not going to waste any more time with those who can't get their own head out of the self-induced darkness. You can't even summon up an article so we can pick it apart or attempt to digest it, so don't bother in this thread anymore. Doesn't matter, it would just be propaganda. If you fell for all that crap 8 years ago and still haven't let the carnival barking stop resonating in your ears, have been oblivious to the obfuscating lies designed to cause chaos, and support the spread of ignorance by quashing opinion and information, then there's no saving you, kiddo.

You probably live in one of the nicest places on earth (it says "Northern California") and command a decent paycheck, but have been reprogrammed to believe that it's a terrible hellhole every time the ruling party finds itself in the unfortunate position of being out of favor and out of touch with reality, so they can advertise the wallet out of you, scare you with outliers, deprogram any empathy and attempts to stray from so-called thought leaders. Sorry there's other people who want to come into your country. Sorry that your unmentionables once got confused when looking at someone on the internet (or gasp, in person). Sorry that you have to pay for infrastructure. Sorry you have a clueless governor. Sorry you once had to wear a mask. Sorry you have to read this...but we all have problems and our scope of difficulties lead us to become the masters of all we survey in good time. But I bet your problems are so minuscule and your life so comparatively easy-going since you have time to complain on a video game forum.

It's twits like you that are still crapping themselves over "Killary" but ignore how Trump started a rabble and got even people more killed (and many more arrested) over absolute nonsense, but you're okay with that because he'll pardon them and everyone involved and make the past magically go away. But to you, that never happened and neither did January 6th, and he never told people beforehand there was going to be theft, and he's always told everyone the golden truth, except every "truth" is just an over-varnished statement instead of extolling any virtues of the words and ideals he's spouting. It's just another type of virtue signaling that we see right through, but you've been told that your virtues are the "real ones" because they stand for ambiguous values which cannot be defined; because any attempt at rational discussion somehow tramples on your freedoms, since it might cause some internal, personal, and natural dissonance.

Discussion with you is therefore hopeless, bye.

Fun fact: the "Clinton Body Count" conspiracy theory stands at 50 supposed victims. Trump's COVID "policies" (lol) and blocking of asbestos bans rack up that many excess deaths every three hours of his "Presidency".

One excess death every 3.6 minutes in the Trump White House - and the big numbers didn't even start coming until the final year of it. One every 76 seconds during the COVID "response", or the Clinton Body Count each and every hour for a year.

 

[Joey D]

Has this become a partisan website?

It's always amusing when someone comes into any threat in this forum section and claims this. If you spend any time at all in the Opinions forum, you know that there are some pretty stark differences between our opinions and beliefs, yet we manage to have legitimate discussions and nothing is ever censored or deleted. The only time people get ridiculed is when they engage their fingers before their brain and spout nonsense or refuse to have civilized discussions. You've been asked repeatedly to back up your claims and your nonsense has been met with actual sources. I know you can't use Google because... uh...reasons or whatever, but if you're going to make an outlandish claim, you need evidence to back that up. It's kind of the cornerstone of any kind of discussion.

But hey, Make GTPlanet Great Again or something. Pretty soon GTPAnon will take over and demand to see Kaz's laptop because of an underground cabal that's trafficking Nissan Skyline models.

 

[Danoff]

The information hole you're crawling into just keeps getting smaller doesn't it? What sources are you allowing yourself to trust? You shouldn't put your faith in google, or CNN, or Fox. But you can't ignore it either.

If your "faith" is in Trump's word, your faith is horribly misplaced.

You seem like a good acolyte. Willing to ignore evidence, taking things on faith, keeping your blinders on, proselytizing - all the things you project onto others.

Modern American conservatism is mental illness.

I don't expect one will want to use that.
