According to a poll conducted by two academic authors and published by The Washington Post, 52 percent of Republicans said they would back a postponement of the next election if Trump called for it.
If Trump and congressional Republicans proposed postponing the election to ensure only eligible citizens could vote, support from Republicans rises to 56 percent.
Pollsters found 47 percent of Republicans think Trump won the popular vote.

Your sig:
Republican: Someone who wants to prevent you from ever obtaining the things your parents had, including your job, a living wage, and health care.

Yeah he's a libertarian with reactionary politics. Someone, I forgot who, told me a libertarian is a Republican who likes weed and/or buttsex, which got a laugh if nothing else... I don't think his reactionary politics are even all that principled; they're a natural outgrowth of his all-encompassing "FYGM" attitude, with little or no deep thought put into them.

Yeah, you'll notice his outrage only really crops up when conservative types are being oppressed and he stays silent when any liberal type is oppressed. Disingenuous in the extreme, but at least his narcissism is currently pro-freedom.

It's supposed to be the other way around, amirite? It's normal human nature to identify with and care more about certain people than others. I certainly consider it overrated as a character flaw.

He is also ignorant.
Has he never seen or heard all the socialist songs and publications that praise the value of labor (work)? The idea that socialists are afraid of work shows a remarkable lack of awareness of political views. It's the Republicans who aspire to not work.
But then, it's so much easier to be an Internet blowhard if you really don't know what you are talking about, because then, facts don't get in the way of your arguments.

Working more difficult jobs, or even the same ones, and getting jack shit for it.
Khallow you're a moron. I know we tell you it pretty often, maybe one day it'll sink in and you'll take a long hard look at yourself.

We are trying to help, khallow. We know you do not respect anyone, this much is obviously not rebutted by your posts. But you are a moron. Ask for help. We are all here for you.

I don't buy that anyone believes that.
It is true that I don't respect several people here - you among them, but there's quite a few people I do respect. The people who put together SN and make it work every day earned my respect and my continued subscription. And there's a fair number of posters that I've come to respect because of their thoughtfulness, courtesy, or effort.

I've worked my whole life as a software developer. I have a better than decent living. As good or better than my parents. I have little to complain about personally. I have a lot of average or somewhat nice "Keeping Up with the Joneses" things. I have two older but good condition autos. A mostly paid for house. Etc. I have lots of credit cards. I use them regularly for everything. Have no credit card debt at all. (eg, we pay them off, but earn tons of rewards)
But I see many others who work their whole lives to struggle to get by with even the basics. Some have huge credit card debt. My perception is that Republican policies are constantly trying to attack these people and take away what little they have, or deny them from ever getting ahead. And it appears to be a consistent pattern, not an anomaly.

I see plenty of policies from all over that do that. Republicans aren't special. My view is that the problem will go away on its own in 30 or so years (once most of the developing world reaches developed world status) and there just isn't much productive to be done about it right now except adapt to the present and wait the time. Maybe develop policies that encourage local business creation.
