What do you think the amount of overlap is in the Venn diagram that contains Trump voters, a gun fetish, open carry , covid denial, election denial?

Has to be a really high percentage. Add in anti-vax as well.

[exitseven]

yes, throw in military service, property ownership, no criminal record and good credit rating and you really have a clear picture.

[msc545]

That is a very good response. I'm not sure it's entirely accurate but it seems to me thinking about it that it's more accurate than it isn't.

Thanks for the MHO

Just one circle.

I think Trump was a clown show. I also have a CCW and support open carry, so it is definitely not a complete overlap.

If by Covid denial you mean the vaccine, there are of course Bobby Kennedy, Jr. and a small but still sizable contingent of anti-vaccine liberals.

Election denial would be 99+% Trump voters.

Individuals that value certain things to include policies, political ideals and lifestyle will overlap with each other regardless of the side they are on politically. This is already creating a skew and comes across as political bait to stir shit up and sowing division rather than trying to be respectful despite disagreement.

I thought you said you'd stop with the political trolling. If people are going to talk politics on GAG, they should at least leave the actual *civilians and voters* out of it and just focus on the politicians. Besides vicious attacks like this, you never see Republicans sh*tting on Biden voters. The few there were.

[msc545]

This is not attack. This only attempts to relate the various things that conservatives espouse here and in other forums.

[MCheetah]

Fine. I'll go through each one, then.

Trump voters: There's always only two choices in US elections, and Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden were objectively worst candidates, even if Trump isn't a model president. Biden's been in office for two years and America has gone to hell in a handbasket, so there's that.

Election denial: Posting this for the 1,000th time on GAG: They literally admitted they rigged the election. time.com/5936036/secret-2020-election-campaign/
All the elites and billionaire Democrats. They openly stated this and were proud of what they did.

Gun carry "fetish"/Open carry: Since when does wanting to be in control of your own safety and not waiting an hour for the lazy uncaring police to show up result in a "fetish?" There's a lot more to gun ownership than people thinking they're just some rednecks in the woods looking for an excuse to kill another human life. I'm sick of that stereotype some people have, just because they're incapable of protecting their own lives and loved ones. Notice I said *some people* think that. Usually the ones who can't do anything to help or save anyone, like I said. Those are the anti-gun people, usually.

[MCheetah]

COVID denial/Anti-vaxxers: The governments of the world lied about COVID (not just China; all of them), then suppressed information and censored people on social media for in 2020. Then expected everyone to listen to them while they ran around with their heads in the sand. If anyone still trusted the government after that (Trump or Biden; doesn't matter), then they are goddamned f*cking idiots who deserve to be ignored. If they wanted trust in the American people, they shouldn't have said things like "masks are useless; save them only for the doctors" and "COVID did NOT come from a lab in Wuhan and wasn't gain-of-function research" or "COVID 100% came from bats and was 100% all-natural. Not man-made at all!" Or am I the only one who actually remembers what the mainstream media and social media was doing in 2020: F*cking up, left and right.

I'm sorry, but I reject the heavy implication that these are all just conservative/Republican/redneck beliefs. If someone out there doesn't at least have some level of skepticism in their leaders and authority figures after this, then I can't respect them as human beings, as they're nothing but willfully ignorant, head-in-the-sand sheep who question nothing and obey without pause.

[CloudMassacre]

I think that would look basically like a very slightly lumpy circle

[Anonymous]

I have a gun fetish.

I believe women should be able to shoot their rapist.

[Snakeyes7]

That's quite a work of modern art you got there.
