[@packerpf]

It wasn't at all by popular demand it's a false narrative; these are not fucking conservatives..these are rich kids who have been indoctrinated by mommy and daddy..seriously if you want a real liberal vs conservative debate you can create one, not hard to filter out the rich folk who aren't really conservative simply greedy. Conservatives want to conserve the constitution and the values of the country; not simply just hold onto their money and be rich.

I don’t think most of the “liberals” they culled for this interview were really prepared to take part in the conversation, probably because the ones who are, were busy doing more important things and have better things to do than to waste their energy on these interviews… interviews that, while well meaning, ultimately evolve into sensationalism

[@HeyCutie90]

It’s a nice sentiment, but I prefer the party that doesn’t treat us like victims who need boots. We are all Americans born in one of the most privileged positions on Earth. Travel out of the US a bit, see what real oppression is like, ya’ll. Take responsibility for yourself. I was born into a poor single-parent household. We were homeless at times, we lived in apartments and trailers with no running water, and my mother did drugs. I had leukemia when I was a teen. Despite all that, I am more educated and make more money than my graphic designer husband who came from a middle class family in Mexico. No one wants to hear it’s a mindset because if you can’t blame other folks for your struggles then you have to face the fact that it really is up to you. That’s scary af if you’re weak, but it can also be empowering if you’re willing to work hard and never let yourself believe the system is against you. We’re Americans, the world is our oyster 🇺🇸🎉

Have you ever lied, lusted sexually at the opposite sex, disrespected parents, stolen, thought bad thoughts, hated someone, sinned sexually (fornication, Adultery …) etc All humans have sinned in thought, word or deed. Therefore, none of us are good and able to get into Heaven and will be justly judged and sent to eternity in Hell! But God out of His love sent his son Jesus (also God in Human flesh) to die on the cross for our sins and rise again from the dead (nobody can do that only God). Jesus said if you Repent of your sins and put your complete trust in Him for your salvation, you’ll have eternal life, given to you as a gift (this message is not to be ignored; seek God today). Your thoughts? John 14: 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Being black (and right leaning although I'm more a libertarian), the military (US Air Force) was the hands down GREATEST experience IN MY LIFE. I constantly try and get young men from my "hood" to just think about it. I don't push it, and I don't beat them over the head with it; I tell them, finish high school, and check a recruiter out, give it a shot maybe, it changed my life ten thousand times over, and if you're a young man and struggling, just walk down to a local recruiter. If you are rather intelligent, check out the Air Force. If you don't do well in tests or just feel like "yiu are smart enough" check out the army. Personally I will always say go Air Force, because unless you want to go to the desert, the AF will send you all over the world to amazing places, like German, Italy, and where I was for 5 years, Japan.

@Barry Peterson I'm glad to hear you are pro social safety net, but I don't know who what people you are referring to living on welfare because as far as I know you can't collect welfare forever.

When u go outside how many trump supporters to u see in ur neighborhood. Not that many and nobody cares about what's really going on. They only care about their feelings and what they hear from friends or social media. So that's the majority for you their. Ignorant anti trump supporters who judge based by false provado.

@@kcarter142 That makes no sense. Yes this video is about specifically black people talking to each other but no way in shape or form does this have anything to do with white people. Especially factoring that into listenining to both sides.

[@Mzee1084]

I listen to all sides, but I looked more into the evolution of the modern conservative movement cause I wanted to understand how their worldview developed as it seemed that so many times I got into political discussions with them they would reject science and what the evidence/data was showing. I find it to be based on a few things like needing to filter everything through their ideological lens of 'rugged individualism'; and lack of trust in government. The modern conservative movement focused a lot on dismantling trust in government so they can dismantle it so capitalists have more freedom to operate their businesses and not have to pay into a larger 'common good' through taxes. Now they don't even trust expertise in general unless it is filtered through the right wing ecosystem. That's what we saw with Covid and so much opposition to Dr. Fauchi. A healthy skepticism is fine, but the right wing ecosystem exploited it to make it go overboard, and then the base will only seem to listen to the right wing fake-experts. The right wing ecosystem also focused heavily on doubling down on divisions and making sure their base really, really hated their pollitical opposition so they wouldn't respect or trust them at all.

He was an asshole. Saying a college degree is worthless. Not everyone is gonna go into the military and it's stupid to think of that as a solution. None of the conservatives were ever thinking about other people. They think because their life is good, all other black peoples lives are good. The liberals were pointing out how marginalized communities are underrepresented and also under attack from not getting any support or new innovative ideas/systems to help get them out of the poverty cycle. The one guy with the glasses and nose ring was spitting facts.

[@solicitor7161]

@@pinkpugginz Never said it was worthless. He said it wasn't worth the amount of money that he put towards it. Also, by "thinking about other people" do you mean how most blacks want money that they haven't earned for FREE. I don't call it being worried. I'd call it being non-greedy. Also, the "Progressive Liberals" kinda hard to add new ideas to get out of the poverty cycle when your culture is based on being "oppressed" and being "attacked by bigots". I commend the conservative blacks for actually making something of themselves and becoming successful people. Capitalism doesn't care about your feelings. It cares about how much time and effort you are willing to give. We call it survival of the fittest. Last, I like how you said "facts" since half of his "facts" were subjective.(aka opinions)
