well you'll get that seeing as the guy you voted for does not have majority support.

he didn't have it then, and he doesn't have it now.

you do understand that, right? the majority of this country did not what the clown you decided to vote for.

your representatives have control of every aspect of congress.

repeal and replace the ACA: dud
Tax plan: so far looks like a dud.

looks like your own representatives can't even serve you according to your own wishes. so what exactly are you celebrating?

you're like the morons who bought that Pontiac Aztek, then tried so hard to convince themselves it was a good car even though everybody and their mama is telling them what a piece of trash it is.

I am going to chalk that up to stupidity, and ignorance instead of your true feelings bro. As that has to be the dumbest thing you have ever said on these message boards.

I guess you never really understood the people who said I am going to stay here in fight with my family and friends instead of acting like a baby kitten then. You just run and look out for yourself

do people knowingly and willingly live in places that have a high risk of flooding?

yes.

do people knowingly and willingly live in places that are in tornado alley?

yes.

so what part of that is ignorance and non-factual?

To some degree I agree with you, but to some extent I disagree.

It's hard to stay and fight for your family when there are no jobs. I mean the people you vote for claim they will bring jobs. They tell you they will turn the economy around. But when you live in an area that newer, well paying jobs simply won't move to, how is staying in the best interest of your family?

I'll give you an example. My family, former generation, lived in the mountains of SE Kentucky. Coal mines and lumber were the only jobs in that area when my parents generation were growing up. And once the lumber was gone, so were those jobs.

My dad and much of my family joined the military. When leaving the military they came to Ohio. They knew industry wouldn't be locating to those mountains. They knew they could get good union jobs in Ohio and also knew that when leaving the military, they could easily get hired to those jobs.

As such, they all bought nice homes, new cars and lived a good life with a much better education for their children. They felt leaving was their best option to fight for their family and give their family a good life.

Some never did leave. As such, they continued to struggle and live in poverty. When all you've ever known is mountain life, it's hard to call it "running and looking out for yourself". You see, it takes courage to move to a place you've never been. To have to get a job doing something you've never done.

One can look at it as turning your back on family and friends. Others look at it as doing what you think is best for your family. For striking out and taking advantage of opportunities. In the case of my family, I'm glad my dad decided to leave the mountains and give his children a better life.

And let's be honest, if everyone looked at it the way you are in your post, the west would never have been settled and there would never have been any pioneers. People have struck out on their own searching for a better life since we have been a nation.

So your saying EVERYBODY who voted for him lives in tornado ally, or places that flood like crazy. Or that people who voted for him are not in their right minds. Lets call a spade a spade here. That's like me saying ALL BLACK people live in getto's and are to damn ignorant and stupid to move out.

Your post was 100 percent BS

I know they have few tornadoes in Pennsylvania and Michigan, not sure about Ohio.

hmmm, lets read this post again:



lets take a look at tornado alley:



hmm...that's interesting.

hey, which way did those states go in the generals?

https://www.270towin.com/maps/2016-actual-electoral-map

tornado alley...is that all of america? or a strip of the country?

so, does that also mean i didn't say "EVERYBODY", but made a (semi-serious)correlation between people who voted for trump and living in high risk zones for natural disasters?

just admit you're triggered.

Thats cool bro



I have to call BS buddy. I stayed here. Most people packed up and moved away years ago right after High School. I stayed and fought. I had only a High School Education and worked my ass off to end up making 140k per year in an area where the average income was 20,000 per year. I did not run away like so many kitty cats did in this area. I stayed and did my best to help those around me. I made my money locally and I spent it locally.



But it takes even more courage to stay and fight.



If you want to be honest if everybody had headed out west there would be no americans living in the mid west, and in the east today. Those who made this country great were the ones who stayed and fought.

so the slaves that your ancestors used to build this country didn't make it great?

Isn't that pretty much how we became a nation?

What is very funny is that not one entire state in encompassed in your map yet you lump it all in as ONE. Kinda like the KKK lumping all black folks in as BAD

just like in real life, it's based on majority.

in that pic, 4 red states are mostly in the zone.

a good 40% of texas is in it.

please, keep going. i'm having fun.

LMFAO God your reaching more than stretch armstrong bro. My ancesters were Indian, and German, with my German Ancesters coming over in the early 1900's and living up north. Not a single one of them ever owned a slave. Scale back the hatred bro.

what hatred? i asked a legit question. you claimed that those who stayed in fought made the country great.

well what about the people who were brought here against their will? see you still didn't answer the question.

Have all the fun you want. Your showing yourself to be hatefull, ignorant, and not very bright. All of which I believe you are NOT. I believe you to be Smart, loving, and thoughtful, as well as a great Husband, son, and father.

I'm confused. Are you saying that the KKK is right in calling some black people bad?

I think the best way forward politically is to show people a better option.

People who actively cheerlead Trump certainly deserve to be made fun of, sure. But they also deserve quality health care, competent relief operations when natural disasters strike, etc.

how, i'm giving actual breakdowns of my thought process. i think the same of you but right now you throwing insults isn't changing anything.

Every american deserves those things, so i agree.

but we can't get there if people continue voting for their own demise.

1st off I am calling all of the KKK bad,

2nd are some black people bad.... your damn right they are.
and are some white people bad... your damn right they are.

so did slaves not help to make this country great?

and your throwing insults is driving people away from the points you really want to get across to others. I am trying to help you get your point across in ways that others can understand bud.

Thank you for saying something that our president has yet to publicly acknowledge.

Your damn right they did,as did white folks, Mexicans, Asians, and others of every race, religion, and crede.

people can understand just fine.

people who choose to put their families in high risk zones can not claim they are capable of making sound decisions on a consistent basis.

I was stationed in Oklahoma when the Tornado hit Moore in 2013 or 14.

and you know what a lot of those people did? rebuild like it wasn't ever gonna happen again.

not smart.

I don't really think Trump has any point to drive across outside of "everybody pay attention to me". He's the most impressionable person ever, completely malleable.

If he was assured tomorrow that banning any and all guns or offering slave reparations would make him widely beloved, he would do it in a heartbeat.

Hey that SOB wants to cut my medicare and raise my taxes don't count me as a lover lol

gays didn't help make this country great?

Do you know how expensive it is to move? Or how hard it is to find a job in another part of the country?

Oh I disagree 1,000 percent bro. They stood there ground and said FU your not chasing us out of our home. GOD I respect those folks 10,000 percent.

Did you really lower yourself to that level? I am disapointed in you buddy

yes as i've moved multiple times.

are you saying these people never had the opportunity to move? and hell, you don't even have to move out of the state, but maybe it would be smart not to live in an area like Moore, which has been hit by a tornado 4 times in 16 years.

now, i'm not a scientist or a mathematician, but something tells me that the cost of constantly rebuilding and buying new things due to natural disasters is a lot more than, i dunno, maybe moving 20-30 miles down the road? maybe closer to the city?

oops, nevermind, scratch that:

thats a list of tornadoes that have struck the OKC area.....at least twice the SAME DAY.

so to answer your semi-loaded question, yes, i know how expensive it is to move, or to essentially start over.

but it beats being DEAD.

No, they made it fabulous.

too bad GM couldn't answer that way

40, this is what you call a swing vote in 2020! Got a feeling GM will join me in the Bernie Camp.

Dumbest thing hes ever said on here ... HOLY CRAP BATMAN .. i didn’t think anyone could clear that bar ... its flush up to the cieling ... if anyone could do it, its certainly him ...

Diam is that dude who will trash talk someone behind their back but when confronted directly, folds.

Engaging in preventative health care measures to avoid or catch serious illness beats not doing so, but, again, most people can't afford it.

Let's say Guy X is in the middle of Tornado Alley. He works at the Safeway deli, his mortgage is underwater, and he's still paying out of pocket to meet his deductible for his wife's medical treatment.

He can barely keep his chin above water as is. How is he going to move? And where?

Those aren't loaded questions. They're pertinent ones.
