So now, I'll just roll my eyes at you again. But you just carry on calling us names, using tactics intended to humiliate, burning down buildings, screaming in the faces of people you don't even know, killing cops, and all of your other peaceful antics. We'll see you in November. It's not worth it, you can't have a conversation, they do not want it. The ones that do, get drown out. Just read, smile and scroll on. So maybe you can explain, seeing as you seem to understand - but it seems to have gotten lost in translation. What exactly ARE tactics intended to humiliate?

Actually MichyM, I responded to a Pro Trump thread after all these years because I wanted to, only to be called a POS and to be told that because I support the oil industry I couldn't possibly care about my fellow Americans. The thread didn't ask you to get involved...clearly you're not Pro Trump. The accusations thrown at me (and other Trump supporters) are vile and hateful and as ridiculous as my statement above about "you" "burning down buildings, screaming in the faces of people you don't even know, killing cops...". But y'all go on with badgering anyone who thinks differently than you. Maybe you do scream in the faces of people you don't even know because they won't throw up their hitler hand in solidarity with you... I mean we're pretty damn sure it's not republicans pulling that crap.And I and very many more are pretty damn sure it is.

[snip] 2. (And this is directed at Page One): DEMOCRATIC. Democratic Party. Democratic candidates. Vote Democratic. Not Democrat. Not Publican. Unless we’re now the “United States of” and our sitting president is “Donald Rump.” Off to search for more crunchy snacks. That jumped right out to me too. The language used in the OP was odd, like it was written by someone who isn’t a native English speaker. It’s more like what I’d expect from a bot. Well, thank Goddess somebody pulled me away from my popcorn. Tubs upon tubs. Nah, the OP used “Democrat” correctly. It was another post (Page 2; I was wrong) that slips in the ol’ slur. Refusing to say “Democratic” is a thing; has been for several years, e.g. Rush Limbaugh. Here’s the Wikipedia page “Democrat as an epithet” that describes the history, including President Trump bouncing around between several reasons why he refuses to say “Democratic,” including the one where he claims ”There’s no name ‘Democratic Party.’” Yep, that is the president this thread was created to defend. (Can the OP be a bot if she references being a Pea? Didn’t think so, but not my area of expertise. I’m better at nursing pet theories where language misuse is employed as identity deflection. Heh. And now I’m going to switch from popcorn to chicken soup. Probably won’t be the balm for the soul I need after reading this mess, but I’ll take any succor...)

This is the administration that trumpers want to keep—one that threatens democracy, real law & order, and the constitution.

Of course it's white supremacists. The mistake the left is making is assuming who these white supremacists are affiliated with. They are certainly not Trump supporters, because they hate them more than you do. If trump is not a white supremacist why does he surround himself with them? Top of the list Stephen Miller. Why does he call them fine people?

I'm supporting Trump and can't even imagine aligning myself with the democrat party. I'm also not interested in debates as we all know, at least on this board, who we're voting for. There are so many reasons I'll be casting my republican vote, but one is that we are in the oil business and this industry doesn't need a government that intends to shut it down. Enough said. And I'm not a white supremacist, or a racist, or a vile human being. I'm a hard-working wife, mother, and grandmother...probably like a lot of you...who just happens to think differently than you do. I do feel that, as often as you are rolling your eyes at us, we're rolling ours at you too. Just a difference in opinion. You showed how much you wanted a discussion when you used trump’s favorite epithet: “Democrat” Party instead of “Democratic.” Just wanted to go on record in stating that I’ve never broken the law in my life, even though I am a liberal and will vote Democratic.

To follow your reasoning, my family has a significant amount of savings and retirement invested in the stock market. The stock market is actually doing well, so I should vote for Trump to protect my family’s financial future? No way. Not in a million years. Because I am capable of putting aside my financial interests and voting for the most capable person to lead our country right now. Our country is at a breaking point. 4 years of Trump has only further divided our country. California and Oregon are on fire, almost 200,000 dead from covid, thousands of Americans unemployed, food and housing insecure and racial injustice. We can’t survive another 4 years of him. It’s more than a difference of opinion. It’s the inability of many Trump supporters to look at science, facts and reality.

Renewable biofuels can easily, and affordably replace petroleum. Even with greenhouse gasses and energy used (created when growing sustainable means for biofuels), it is still a better outcome in regards to improving climate change and reducing CO2 emissions. Etc etc...

That doesn't clear up anything. It doesn't even SAY anything. Most democrats don't even like the green new deal in its current form. (Just one point of many in that article that are off) So yeah, no. Just another uninformed, opinion article. Perhaps it is why some people *think* they are voting for Trump, but I'm still left scratching my head

He can't even answer questions without a teleprompter telling him what to say.

When did the Spanish Flu happen again? I am asking because you know Trump said “The closest thing is in 1917, they say, the great pandemic. It certainly was a terrible thing where they lost anywhere from 50 to 100 million people,” Trump said. “Probably ended the second World War, all the soldiers were sick.” When were airplanes invented? I am asking because you know Trump said American forces “took over the airports” during the US War of Independence in the late 18th century. Yet you are worried about a man reading from a teleprompter? Got ya!

For decades I commuted to and from San Francisco where I worked. My commute involved going across the Golden Gate Bridge. Some days when the wind wasn’t blowing in from the ocean and there was no fog what you would see looking toward The City while crossing the bridge was a perfect whiskey colored ring around the bay. That whiskey colored ring was the emissions from the gasoline powered engines in cars. People breath that stuff. Normally the wind blows that crap inland. I think to the Yosemite Valley. But on days when there is no wind or fog to mask it you get to see what you’re breathing. And CA has pretty tough emissions standards for the cars and yet you see these whiskey colored rings when the wind isn’t blowing. Even if you don’t believe that the emissions from gasoline powered vehicles contribute to climate change, how can you say breathing that whiskey colored air is ok? Would you be ok if your grandchildren breathed that whiskey colored air on a daily basis? That whiskey color ring emissions is not unique to San Francisco. That whiskey colored air is wherever there are an abundance of cars in other large cities and just like the wind blows some from SF to The Yosemite Valley here, the wind is blowing emissions from those cities to other areas around those cities as well. Technology is giving us safer alternatives then gas powered engines. So why in heaven’s name wouldn’t we want to use them? I understand it must be unsettling to hear people blithely talking about eliminating jobs associated with oil as the world moves away from fossil fuels. And it is going to happen. It’s not a matter of “if” but “when”. So the question is what will happen to folks who lose their jobs during the transition. Hillary Clinton talked about this to coal miners. She said two things. 1. Coal mining jobs are going away and 2. When they do, she would work with the displaced workers to transition them into other jobs and better jobs. The coal miners only heard the first thing she said and not the second thing. So in their mind she was taking away their jobs period. Yesterday Joe Biden released his outline for fighting climate change. The last talking point was acknowledging that folks that work in the areas that will be impacted by this transition won’t be forgotten. Biden has a plan, the question is what’s trump’s plan to help displaced workers as the country and world moves away from fossil fuels? And it will happen because I think we have reached the point where the world no longer has a choice.

Trump just brokered his 2nd Middle Eastern peace deal...I'm watching them sign it now. I just wasn't sure if your news outlets had shared that with you.
This is a good thing, right?

Let’s see, high unemployment, a pandemic, and civil unrest. All happening in this country and under his watch. Maybe he should spend less time with these very minor agreements in the Middle East and more time working to clean up the messes he is partly responsible for. From what little I read, these agreements could potentially cause more problems in The Middle East then they solve. And ignoring what is happening here and blaming others as he has been doing doesn’t seem to be working. So to answer your question, no it’s not a good thing when you look at the big picture.

Renewable biofuels can easily, and affordably replace petroleum. Even with greenhouse gasses and energy used (created when growing sustainable means for biofuels), it is still a better outcome in regards to improving climate change and reducing CO2 emissions. Etc etc... I clearly mentioned that oil will stick around for jet fuel and plastics - at least longer than light-duty and medium-duty vehicles. But here's a view in the rear-view mirror. Again, enormous worldwide systems that are changing. Right now. And are NOT going back. Even if Trump does his damnedest. The world will not follow us into more expensive options. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports the share of U.S. total energy production from fossil fuels peaked in 1966 at 93%. Total fossil fuel production has continued to rise, but production has also risen for non-fossil fuel sources such as nuclear power and renewables. As a result, fossil fuels have accounted for about 80% of U.S. energy production in the past decade.
