Look, not everyone is perfectly R or perfectly D but I'd be willing to bet that most people would have a side that they'd prefer given a split.

So... anyways... let's just split. The dems can do their thing, and the repubs can do their thing. Our political system is a shit show and I'm just over it.

I know which side will thrive financially and socially regardless of where resources lie. It's just a cold hard fact. Deep in their hearts, everyone else knows too. Reality is a ruthless, heartless bitch. I will happily take the retards on the right with me, of which there are many, if it means I can be rid of the retards on the left. HAPPILY.

We are so far split that separating the country in two is not a bad idea. The Democrats clearly have a problem with this Constitution. Let them write a new one that serves their interests then.

I give it less than five years before they come crawling back.

Liberals would thrive financially and socially, right? Liberal side has majority of the scientists, professors, doctors, engineers, STEM people. Majority of corporations, including Tesla/Google/Microsoft/Apple/Facebook/SpaceX/IBM/Boeing/Lockheed/etc, would all follow them because they are nothing without the STEM people, who are the brains behind the operation. Liberals on average tend to also be more educated so I bet more universities/professors would follow towards the liberal side. Even organizations like NASA/NIH/etc would have no choice but to follow the scientists/doctors/etc

If liberals all pay thru the nose to squeeze into white, upscale neighborhoods as it is... theyre def not gonna want anything to do with living in a country where low income minorities make up an even higher population per square mile.

After all, who will protect them? All the police and gun toters will be on the right. Left Side America will become Liberia with white slaves.

If the country legit split, all the leftists who TALK a big diversity and tolerance game would be the first ones huddling up on the right side behind bubba and cletis for shelter. The right is less politically correct, but also less physically afraid. The left talks a big tolerance game to compensate for the fact that theyre actually terrified when they see jamaal walking down the street.

Elon is nothing without his teams of scientists and engineers. Sure he can get labor workers, but the brains behind that are the scientists and engineers. Do you have any idea how much they recruit established engineers and scientists? Especially in the early years of Tesla/SpaceX, Elon himself was involved in interviews. They badly needed the established scientists/engineers to form their foundation. They have that foundation, but cannot afford to lose them. There is a reason why they are headquartered in a heavily Liberal state (California). The heavy tech sector is located in liberal states like California, Washington, etc.

Also keep in mind that the a majority of his customers are liberals. Conservatives prefer the massive gas guzzling SUVs while liberals spend on the electric cars. They tend to be resistant to anything green for whatever reason. Elon has Tesla with electric cars, solarcity with solar panels (Tesla owns Solarcity now) and SpaceX for rockets (Conservatives more so than liberals use the argument "why are we spending money out there when we have problems down here?")

Yeah Elon is definitely known for how much he respects fossil fuels and the combustion engine :oldlol:


"Gas cars are so last-century! Passing fad. Like steam engines. They look cool in a museum."


"We're really playing a crazy game here with the atmosphere and the oceans," Musk said. "We're taking vast amounts of carbon from deep underground and putting this in the atmosphere — this is crazy. We should not do this. It's very dangerous."


"The bizarre thing is that obviously we're going to run out of oil in the long-term. There's only so much oil we can mine and burn," Musk said. "It's tautological. We must have a sustainable energy transport and infrastructure in the long term, so why run this crazy experiment where we take trillions of tons of carbon from underground and put it in the atmosphere and the oceans? This is an insane experiment. It's the dumbest experiment in human history."


“The fundamental issue with fossil fuels is that every use comes with a subsidy,” Musk said. “Every gasoline car on the road has a subsidy, and the right way to address that is with a carbon tax.”


“It is quite worrying, the future of the world,” he added. “We need to appeal to the people and educate them to sort of revolt against this and to fight the propaganda of the fossil fuel industry which is unrelenting and enormous.”


The fear, uncertainty & doubt propaganda campaign being pushed by those betting against Tesla has reached new heights. Tesla is affecting powerful vested interests. Big auto and oil companies aren’t known for their gentle behavior.


"It is not hard to imagine that many cities could become electric-only in the near future as they begin to witness the impact that ICE vehicles have on air quality"

Yeah Elon is definitely known for how much he respects fossil fuels and the combustion engine :oldlol:



His sentiments are all fair, I would imagine what Hawker means by “respect for it” is that... he uses it. Because if Musk didnt respect the value or efficacy of it currently, I cant imagine he would.

Frankly I have no clue how he gets around, presumably he doesnt have an electric plane, or how he keeps his office buildings heated and cooled etc. But I think it’s a safe bet he hasnt achieved fossil fuel independence in his own life and career.

If he has, then by all means, have him send that tech my way. Ill be happy to go fully green as soon as it’s practical. But I have a feeling he’s not quite ready and able yet to supply either segment of this hypothetically divided America with enough energy to meet its demands.

It would actually be interesting to hear his thoughts on this particular topic, not that he actually would ever discuss it publicly.

Nanners
06-30-2020, 04:33 AM
TBH I wouldnt be surprised at all if Elon secretly had "respect" (whatever that means) for fossil fuels and the combustion engine... but if he does hold these views they are very much secret. I dont think the fact that he uses gas powered planes can be taken as evidence for his "respect" of fossil fuels... its not exactly like there are any currently any other options for quickly traveling over a long distance. I use comcast as an internet service provider because they are the only option available to me, that doesnt mean I "respect" them... comcast can go **** themselves imo.

Ultimately, Elon is a businessman who has a huge financial interest in disrupting the fossil fuel industry... its no surprise that his statements on the topic would reflect that.

I understand both sides , and I laugh at where we are.... I have seen far more presidents than any of you.
Trump had an agenda , and that was to not unit our country like Ronald Reagan , but to divide it.
Cvd19 helped , in ways he never imagined , but the MN death was cream on the cake for him. Remember he is backed by KKK and white supremacists.
I am going to rid all aliens from our country , so he purposely divides families that have crossed the border.
The failure was his wall is only a 1/3 of the actual border .... (don't you think people that have walked 1500 miles , could not walk around the wall)
He is the biggest shyster probably this country has ever seen.
I loved it when he was backed by his coal tycoons for the 2016 election , and there sitting in the front seats , when he declares loosing emissions will
occur , because we don't have global warming and pollution.

Yep Make America Great AGAIN:banghead:

Our country has broken laws , and our government is using it to their advantage.
People backing Trump think they are rebellion to our society , they are fueling the crap that Trump has created.
Opening the country for the economy has failed...
Here is my take , if Trump would of closed the borders of our country , for 3-5 months and states would closed their borders
we might of been way ahead of the CVD19 crap....
Instead we have the highest spike in the world as we speak....
The government is supposed to protect and guide the people of this country...
Right now it looks like a free for all wrestling match on WWE.. :facepalm

I have always wished a third party would be as strong as the Republicans and Democrats....
Republicans support the rich
Democrats supposedly support the middle and poor.

Fact is they only support them selves and their soft money.

The Democrats have for years relied on white urban liberals and urban minorities and completely overlooked rural America. Fact is there are a lot of rural folk who lean right simply because the right have been the only ones who pay any attention to them. Hillary wrote them off as stupid rednecks and look where that got her. Had she taken the time to listen to them and address their concerns she would have seen that a lot of these people are amenable to many democratic policies. There are a lot more minorities living in rural areas than ever before too. If Hillary had jus...no actually she still would've lost because she's a biitch, but Biden might make headway.

You know when I know the other person has lost an argument?

When other party lacks a counterargument and resorts to name-calling.

You are done. Return to the shadows and be gone.

Liberals would thrive financially and socially, right? Liberal side has majority of the scientists, professors, doctors, engineers, STEM people. Majority of corporations, including Tesla/Google/Microsoft/Apple/Facebook/SpaceX/IBM/Boeing/Lockheed/etc, would all follow them because they are nothing without the STEM people, who are the brains behind the operation. Liberals on average tend to also be more educated so I bet more universities/professors would follow towards the liberal side. Even organizations like NASA/NIH/etc would have no choice but to follow the scientists/doctors/etc

Thoughts?- Engineers lean conservative.

The politics of engineers (https://www.machinedesign.com/news/article/21819513/the-politics-of-engineers)
"Engineers say they are more likely to be Republican (42.1%) or Independent (33.7%) voters, as opposed to Democrats (14.5%)."



- STEM workers lean conservative

Political Identification of STEM Workers in the US (https://scholarworks.unr.edu/handle/11714/2246)
"STEM workers are, indeed, more conservative than others—a pattern that may be rooted in the structure of their work."



- Doctors are split alongside their medical specialty.

On top of that, the right dominates in construction, agriculture, military and law enforcement. Shelter, food and security.. the basis of survival.

As for the corporations, they might virtue signal to the left but if they have to pick a side, they'll pick the one that will protect their money.

Every fukking 4 years the losing side starts bitching and whining about stupidly splitting the country into left/right political views sides...the OP is a known Trump supporter, really telling he's whining so early about splitting the country...he could clearly see Trump's defeat this far off and you can't blame him, Trump has proven to be an incompetant jackass.

To think that despite all the shit I talk about Trump, I considered voting for him based on the fact he is anti-abortion and he hasn't gotten us into another stupid war but holy shit, his managing (or lack of) the pandemic and his lack of leadership and refusal to at least pretend to try to unite the country these last few weeks have made me (and millions more) actively oppose his re-election.

Biden sucks but Trump is worse...way worse.

This is exactly where I'm at. It was a great night when Trump one (due to the alternative) and I was willing to give him a chance but even in 2015 I told my family that a Trump administration would scar this country psychologically with more hate and division but I had no idea how much worse it would be than I imagined.

It sucks beacuse this time, the alternative is some liver-spotted geriatric who doesn't know what day it is. All the money in this country - the resources, the education, the available platforms to be heard... and this is the best we got. I never even considered one day moving out of America but it has crossed my mind in the past month.

Trump is a disaster and although I recognize some of the good things his administration has gotten done, the net result is pretty awful considering the damage it has imposed on the general public, either intended or a result of the dumbass media.

I will say I do not want another 4 years of Trump. This whole year has shown me that the Trumps administration has been a big factor in setting us back. Whether a political tactic or just being a pure dumbass, the tweets, exaggerations, and tone deaf statements have me ready to boot this loudmouth out of office.

Trump nor Biden will be getting my presidential vote. What a farce. Americans are dumb and fall for the red-blue gang shit like a bunch of ignoramuses. Hook, Line and Sinker

Heres the thing.

Are “tweets and demeanor” the only thing most people really understand?

Yes.

So, will that influence their perceptions and proclivities far more than concrete policy ideas and philosophy, particularly complicated policy concepts where theres no clear cut right or wrong, good or bad?

Absolutely.

People know which words are okay for mr president to use and which words are bad words that teacher told us not to say. People dont know whether the federal reserve chairman nominated by the President has a compatible philosophy for current market conditions. They dont know if an executive order is balanced appropriately with the 10th amendment. How many amendments can the typical person name? Two?

If you have no context for judging a president on important things, of course it comes down to “I dont like the tone of voice he used when he said that speech.” Thats the level the masses are on and theyve always been on.

If you can speak in detail about the policy reasons you believe someone is a bad fit for president, and why someone else would be preferable.. thats fine.

If youre resorting to “Hes a meanie and I dont like his words, his twitterings arent presidential, hes too divisive!!!!”

It probably just means you dont understand any of the more important stuff.

And the fact that millions of people are in the same boat, is a far bigger problem to the country than any one man in the White House could present.


But thats the dirty little secret nobody wants to admit.

Rolled back heaps of regulations. Assigned great judges.

And just in general doesn't fold like the standard milquetoast republican.

Would have never got a tax cut with Jeb Bush or John Kasich. Would have never gotten Gorsuch or Kavanaugh in with those guys. They would've folded. And that's what the democrats in the end want. A republican that folds. A republican that doesn't fold, as you can tell in this thread, causes "division" and "hate" and "tears this country apart." :sleeping

Well, that statement is less an indictment of me and what I said than it is the general public.

What I was saying is that although Trump gives enough bait to the obsessive "haters" where I can say believe the guy is a shit stain on the country but that is also compounded with the constant, incessant half-truths and strategic brainwashing ala MSNBC, CNN, progressive Twitter etc etc the list goes on and on.

My point was that even if I have support Trump on some issues and he may get a lot of nonsense hurled his direction, right or wrong if he ends up being taken out of office, whether it be for reasons of his own undoing or lies, mistruths and a funded witch hunt, it will be worth it just so we can try to turn a new page as a nation.
