Ugly guys make uglier “women.”
Definitely!!
😨😱😳🙀🙀🙀
Dumpster fire is an understatement.
9/11/2001 replays 24/7/365 if this reprobate becomes mayor.
I wish, but sadly it seems that the republicans are hell bent on taking their place.
Agree A +
“”And, I walk among Dim voters at church who are completely oblivious to what their party stands for. They still think their grandfather’s Democrat party is the same one that gave us JFK. As long as CBS, NBC, ABC still glorify Democrats and condemn those scandalous Repubs, they will think nothing has changed.””
Which brings to mind an interesting question. As a Christian, are we obligated to attempt to bring ‘light and truth’ to those that we see that are so blind, beguiled and misguided as to the true evil their political party represents and that their political choices result in? Or... are we just supposed to bite our tongues, keep silent, go our own way and pretend that those misguided “Christians” will be ok when Judgement Day comes. Hmmm....
Is that LEGAL? I think Mamdani (Is that Arabic for Idiotic Socialist?) is dangerous to America...
At least we know he can’t be POTUS...........He was born in Uganda...........
The party is full of people who support Hamas and the Iranian regime. You can’t do anything with people like that. The only thing you can do is defeat them big time.
Interesting topic for sure—probably deserves its own thread.
I debate with myself on this point very often. If I try to persuade other folks am I just on a big ego trip or am I making a sincere effort to make the world a better place.
Believe me I have tried. Do you realize how hard it is to convince them that everything they have ever learned and believed was wrong, but that you have the truth?
“”Believe me I have tried. Do you realize how hard it is to convince them that everything they have ever learned and believed was wrong, but that you have the truth?””
Yes, I know. The Bible says people will have “scales” over their eyes in the end times. I presume that is part of the reason ‘why’ the evil that appears obvious to us is not apparent to them. But the Bible does not say whether or not we Christians should attempt to remove those scales with the truth, or if it’s even possible. But I would think it’s a thing we should at least attempt to do. For their sake? I dunno.
It truly is like trying to reason with a brick wall. I’ve tried to reason with lefties re: political issues on the internet for decades, to pretty much no avail.

My philosophy has been... if your comments and truth is able to convince just one person ... one soul... to veer away from the path they were on, and instead take the narrow road and gate to salvation.... then every word, argument and frustrating, heated debate will have been worth it.
My life experience is that I have never successfully convinced anyone of anything with a heated debate—and btw I was a member of my high school and college debating team.
The best I have been able to do is use the Socratic method to help the person find internal contradictions in their views.

Here’s the thing. You have no way of knowing whether anything you said ended up convincing someone somewhere along the way or not. You may never know, until perhaps you die and all is revealed (like a successful convert).
It does seem hopeless though, moreso lately. But that just means that there are even more people in need of that truth bomb. Look around. The world is being dragged, literally, to hell and damnation by technology and by the ghouls that wield it. Don’t give up, IOW.

The purpose of a debate is not to convince your opponent that your views are correct — it is to convince the audience.
