Newton had massive social adjustment issues and deep religious convictions. I'm not so sure he would react well to the modern world.

Yep, that's a big part of it. Even the good things Democrats did like the ACA were also designed to funnel more wealth upwards.
The liberals stopped worrying about the little guy and soon after stopped even talking to the little guy. Then the little guy stopped voting for Democrats. Fascists however are always ready to fill that vacuum. They don't do shit for the little guy, but they do make him feel heard.
This isn't true. Colony collapse disorder has been a big problem for beekeepers.
Fucking a, you really don't get analogies. I'm explaining how two people (or groups) can contribute to the same predictable outcome in totally different ways.
Dude. They’re not even remotely the same. Just stop.
No kidding. I still haven't said they are.
So in your world, Democrats are victims,
No, in this case we are the victims. Let me set aside analogies since you can't seem to handle the fact that that they are never 100% applicable to every aspect of anything.
The Democratic consultants who lost to Trump in 2024 are the same consultants who lost to Trump in 2016. What organization rewards that level of failure with another shot? The party itself is almost entirely identical to the party of 2016 because the Democrats learned nothing. Kamala's campaign could have been swapped with Hilary's campaign and nobody would have noticed. Even now the Democrats are shaking up nothing. The postmortem they did of the Harris campaign excluded pretty much everything the campaign actually did. Democrats in general, voters included, want to get past Trump then go right back to being the loser party they have been for decades. It's pathological, and it's just going to bring us to Trump v2. (Being optimistic that we ever see a real election again.)
I'm really hoping that the Hispanics that went for Trump have seen enough to snap them out of it.
A man beats his wife on the regular. Cops get called, wife lies and defends husband, cops go away. Rinse and repeat until the wife is dead. They both contributed to that outcome. They both danced the dance at the cliff's edge until the inevitable happened. Am I saying they are both the same? Hell no. The guy is a monster. That doesn't mean the wife didn't contribute to that outcome.
Yeah, like the entirety of human history. However, the course was pretty clear and America was pretty committed to it - despite a whole lot of work done by a whole lot of people to change it. Hell, most of the country is still committed to it. All the Democrats who want to get past Trump so things can get back to "normal" haven't learned a damn thing.
Is the argument supposed to be that everyone else is also bad so it doesn't matter?
Is that the argument that I made? Fuck no. However, YOUR point was that America was somehow especially bad, and that's what I was refuting. Predictably, you have moved the goalposts to an entirely different field. Well, I'm not playing. That's as far as I got or will get. You confirm with every post that you ain't worth my time.
If you read my whole comment I've already answered that. Being part of the same dynamic doesn't mean you are doing the same thing. It's not that hard a concept to understand.
What's the point? You are not misinformed because you don't have access to the correct information, you are misinformed because you choose to be myopic because you think that makes you edgy or clever.
Yeah,the US nuked civilians. Name a large country that doesn't have mass civilian casualties in it's past. You'll have to explain to me how flattening a city with a nuke instead of a thousand conventional bombs is morally different. If you really want to put the US in a bad light you should mention that the US did a hell of a lot more damage to Japanese cities with conventional bombs than nukes. That doesn't work though, since pretty much every country has done something like that. You might also want to consider that the question of whether Japan actually had non-combatants is debatable. When the US took smaller Japanese islands, "civilians" fought to the last, committed suicide, or were killed by their parents if they were too young to fight.
Things look a lot different when you're not cherry picking history. The idea that no other country would have developed nukes if not for the US is entirely absurd.
I may let him.
