Short answer, without trying to use political adversaries to try and provoke an unfounded fear response, no they absolutely can’t. Their entire ideology is that government is out of control, it takes too much, spends too much, and doesn’t give enough. But then the first thing they do when they gain power is entrench government power, control, and overreach, while they simultaneously strip citizens of their rights, and means to acquire enough wealth to make significant changes and contributions from a financial perspective.
If you want the TLDR, conservatives hate our government, and by extension, our country. unless they, and only they can wield it’s power to the full extent, and gain all of its benefits, at the expense of people they disagree with, or view as ‘less’ than them. With they cannot do that, they will claim that the government takes too much, and has no accountability, and exceeds its means. When they are in control however, their only concern is that the ‘bad people’ are trying to constrain their power, and force accountability.
They exist because they create a political environment that’s dysfunctional, blame the other side for the dysfunction, then Everytime they gain power, they entrench bullshit that will further perpetuate political and societal dysfunction.

I love how the Deadpool movies are on Disney. They may as well move South Park there too

No, I want it voiced by a trained actor.
I thought Terrance Howard was great in the first iron man, I was really bummed to find out they dropped him, then I saw the second one and you know what? Don cheadle knocked it out of the park.
I thought the daily show would be shit without Craig Kilbourn, and then bam, we get Jon Stewart. Pure gold.
If we had just used AI to knock off the originals we never would have seen other actors shine in the role

- Comment on Outsourcer in Chief: Is Trump Trading Away America’s Tech Future? 2 weeks ago:
Yes. He’s basically selling us all out for whatever he can get. Don’t be surprised if they change mortgage rate policies and facilitate the transfer of mortgage debt to some shady foreign interests who then just up interest rates to the point where they can take the house out from under you.

I never actually criticized people for supporting trans rights. I just pointed out that the topic can be divisive in American culture, and that is someone wanted to sow division, an easy way to do it would be to talk too much about that one very narrow topic, when we should be focusing on broader cooperative efforts at the moment. It doesn’t mean trans people deserve any more or less than anyone else.

Because you were never in their secret little club. That’s what these idiots don’t understand. They think that because they have a few million dollars, or tens of millions and a business that they are ‘wealthy’ and therefore Republicans are one of them and vice versa.
If you don’t have at least 250 million, you are never going to be the intended beneficiary of Republican policy, and in fact, you will be harmed by their decisions. If you went to one of their little fund raisers and proudly announced that your business made ten million dollars last year, they’d fucking laugh at you, because you’re a joke to them. A donkey that thinks it’s a Thoroughbred

Everyone is a piece of shit in their own respect. It’s our jobs to find common ground in spite of that

When you define anything that involves trans people and something you don’t agree with as transphobic then you’re not going to be able to take three steps out of your door in the morning without encountering something transphobic.
Everyone deserves basic human rights and the dignity that comes with them. And someone can feel like they are whatever they think they are, absolutely fine. And others may fundamentally disagree with what you think, which is also completely fine.
The fact of the matter is that the majority of the people in the world, don’t give a shit what bathroom someone uses, or what an adult decides to believe or do with their own body. They never did. So by putting such focus on an issue that impacts hardly anyone directly, one which many people fundamentally disagree with, you’re just making more division.
everyone in the country had their civil rights suspended, so try and think a bit larger than just one microcosm.

I pointed out that constantly posting about ‘trans rights’ was just a way sow division with a topic that directly impacts a very small portion of the population, but gaslights a large portion of the remainder. Got banned.
- Comment on Why does it seem like everyone is so good looking and beautiful nowadays? 4 weeks ago:
It depends on where you are. I just drove thru a college campus the other day for the first time in years, and for it being one of the first really nice days, I have to say the student body was… Underwhelming
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 1 month ago:
My issue is typically also with Android Auto. The sound fidelity, especially low end, is much better with a good cable, and when the cable starts to go bad it will default to just Bluetooth for audio which is noticable

Yeah, people forget that there are entire generations of Americans whose only feasible retirement plans are suicide or homicide
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 1 month ago:
I’ve noticed that with the varying quality of USB cables, and them having broken/cracked wires over time, I usually get much faster charging when doing it wirelessly. If anything is way more consistent. With cords it’s a crap shot. Is this a fast charge cord? Was it cheaply made, is it deteriorating? I can use 4 different cords and get different results from each

Well I never voted for it to begin with, but honestly, even the people that were stupid enough to vote for him didn’t really know what the plan was because Trump never actually stated any specific policy goals. That should have been their first clue to not vote for him

I mean. he’s a non elected foreigner who’s overstayed his visa and has no security clearance, and he’s stealing access to the most sensitive systems our country has. It’s absolutely time to hunt. Anyone have links to screenshots showing the identities of Musks henchmen?
- Comment on Gemini wont talk about Bernie Sanders 3 months ago:
Yeah, I still struggle to see the appeal of Chatbot LLMs. So it’s like a search engine, but you can’t see it’s sources, and sometimes it ‘hallucinates’ and gives straight up incorrect information. My favorite was a few months ago I was searching Google for why my cat was chewing on plastic. Like halfway through the AI response at the top of the results it started going on a tangent about how your cat may be bored and enjoys to watch you shop, lol
So basically it makes it easier to get a quick result if you’re not able to quickly and correctly parse through Google results… But the answer you get may be anywhere from zero to a hundred percent correct. And you don’t really get double check the sources without further questioning the chat bot. Oh and LLM AI models have been shown to intentionally lie and mislead when confronted with inaccuracies they’ve given.

Welcome to reddit dawg. I had an account over 10 years old and another SFW account I was using that was about 5-6 years old. I was on my SFW browsing one day, tried to make a post, and saw that I was blocked, but there was no inbox message yet, so I went on my other account and saw that it had gotten a message about being banned for a comment made months ago, so I tried to appeal it, which was denied. Best I can tell they just banned all of my accounts once the first one got banned, even though I wasn’t even aware of the ban in the first place.
