    How about "I like Ike?"

    Regardless of if you'd heard them-- those were official slogans of those Republican campaigns. So, like I said, I guess liberals are just better at linguistic creativity, than conservatives. Do you want a link to the site I got them from, on political slogans?

    And also, of course, you realize that my question had been a multiple choice?

    That one sounds familiar. And re: linguistics, liberals are better at coming up with meaningless buzzwords and stupid mindless chants... that's about it.

    The point of a slogan, is to have it remembered. So, call it "buzzwords," if you want-- as if Republicans don't use those, all the time, themselves, usually to mischaracterized things (e.g., CRT)-- but if you remember the Dem slogans, and not the GOP ones, that means that the wording of the Dems was more effective, in achieving its goal. This is evidence of better communication skills; though I think you are selling Repubs short, because when they want to sell some unrealistically exaggerated narrative, about the Left, 'Pubs are quite good at pushing that propaganda.


    EDIT: "Stupid, mindless chants"-- LOL. You mean, like "LOCK HER UP!" or "Build the Wall," or "the Jews will not replace us?"

    WOW! Such an extreme collection of conspiracy theories! How do you get from reasonable alerts of resurgent COVID concerns to preachers and then to blaming BLM for something they never did? WOW! Did you miss anything?

    Right.

    Slogans are not buzzwords, but slogans CAN contain them.

    Republicans use them too, but not nearly as often.

    That's usually what liberals do.

    I don't remember any recent campaign slogan other than 'Make America Great Again'.

    Projection.

    Hillary has committed a plethora of crimes and SHOULD be locked up. It's a good chant.

    This nation has an illegal immigration problem, a child trafficking problem, and a fentanyl (drug) problem. There SHOULD be a wall built, and much of it DID get built during Trump's term, with absolutely no help from the Uniparty. Again, a good chant.

    I've never heard this one. Meh.


    You forgot about "drill baby drill", another good chant. Oil is needed in order to power an economy to its fullest potential. Wind and solar simply cannot put out enough power. The elites will continue using oil meanwhile the plebs will pay the price and suffer with a reduced standard of living, IF they even remain alive.

    This country has a poverty problem, a low wage problem, a race problem, a policing problem, a public education problem, a healthcare problem, a housing problem, and a failed "war on drugs" problem. Your problems aren't as important.
    How about a national ID that replaces SS cards, border passes, healthcare cards, etc? We can issue them for visas, too. The national ID would be issued to automatically to all citizens and permanent residents. It would access a database with fingerprints, iris scans, etc. We can use a cellphone to determine identity. No permission to work. no job. Why? Because we should clamp down on employers hiring anyone, even for day labor, who isn't legal. Egregious employer violations gets jail time.

    Now, how about those problems I mentioned?

    You're focused on relatively minor problems. How come?

    Caused by Democrats taxing the hell out of hard working people, firing people for not wearing a mask or getting a jab, etc. etc.

    Caused by lazy liberals who expect handouts and refuse to work to acquire skills that would make themselves more valuable to others.

    What "race" problem? Is the NASCAR schedule too short?

    Caused by Democrats defunding and demonizing the police.

    Caused by Democrats removing the presence of education from what were once schools.

    Caused by Democrats promoting and normalizing mental illness, firing healthcare workers who didn't wish to get a jab, and putting harmful ingredients in food and pushing harmful drugs as "treatment".

    Caused by Democrats increasing taxes, implementing price controls, and increasing the cost of everything through shitty economic/trade policies.

    Caused by Democrats refusing to secure our borders, tearing apart the family unit, and promoting degeneracy and drug use.

    All of these problems are important, and they are all being caused by Democrats.

    Big government types support any and all COVID related nonsense. They believe government needs more control.

    U.S. taxes are lower than in Canada, but the median wage in Canada actually passed the median wage in this country.
    Liberals now have higher median wages than conservatives. So, who's lazy?
    Are you an American? Who doesn't know the country has a racism problem?
    In part, but also made worse by the insane "war on drugs."
    Republicans have consistently starved schools in low-income communities for funds.
    It's caused by tens of millions of Americans with inadequate or nonexistent health insurance.

    upload_2023-8-10_22-0-27.jpeg

    Canadians live an average 3.8 years longer than Americans.
    Economic growth was about the same in Trump's first three years as it was in Obama's last three.

    I say this with sadness. I believe your words "mask nazi" originate from a generation that does not understand the cause and results of World War Two, the Holocaust and what the actual Hitler regime stood for.

    I argue by using that term your woirds trivialize the Holocaust, the soldiers who died in WW2, the innocent civilians who died in WW2. These very people died because they were given NO choice.

    You are. No one ever has forced you to wear a mask. So to use the term mask nazi is loathsome.

    No one but no one has placed you in the position soldiers or civilians or victims of the Holocaust were so please don't you put yourself in their category.

    In regards to the position I could respond and say idiots support any and all Covid conspiracy related nonsense but its not helpful.

    I respect people who feel it their right NOT to where the mask. I do not respect the use of the word Nazi to describe anyone asking us to consider wearing a mask and I challenge any comments where people accuse others of engaging in deliberate planned lies without proof and that applies to me.

    Ummm how does mask nazi diminish the Holocaust? Were masks a thing they forced or didn’t force? The term Nazi is used in many scenarios of cult like followings of a central authority. And yes people did force me to wear masks. In mostly liberal mask nazi cities businesses would kick you out for no mask. It was forced. Some people were even arrested for public religious gatherings. More than one person was arrested for not wearing a mask. I could care less if you don’t like the term. It fits liberal mask nazis very well.

    Comparing the wearing/mandating of masks to the policies of Nazi Germany goes beyond offensive. It denigrates those millions of people who suffered and died as the result of the Nazi regime. The term ‘mask Nazi’ trivializes the Holocaust. Being kicked out of a business for not wearing a mask is not comparable to being shoved into a cattle car and then gassed to death for being Jewish. You seem to value your ‘freedom’ over the rights of others to be safe and the go as far as to compare it to the Nazi regime that resulted in the deaths of millions of people. Grow up.

    Did I use the NAZI thing? That said, shame on us if we allow a repeat of the government abuse we experienced with the COVID restrictions and mandates.

    Liberal attempts to silence or shame free speech never surprises me anymore. Mask Nazi is fine to use and to those who claim to know history so well to try and be critical yet they sure don't even know recent history that people were forced to wear masks and arrested for not wearing them. All while allowing their political friendly people (BLM or and left wing protest) to go unchecked and allow them to roam around maskless. Didn’t the Nazis force people they didn’t like to wear something as well? I mean if you want to talk comparisons.

    The difference between mask mandates and the Nazi’s forcing Jewish people to wear a yellow star is that the American government did not single out a particular group of people and take away their jobs, their rights, their citizenship, their possessions, and their humanity. They simply requested that people wear a cover over their mouths to decrease the transmission of a virus. You just don’t get it.

    Did the American government take all the non-mask wearers into a ravine and shoot them? You just don’t get it.

    It is disgusting to compare a mask mandate to anything to do with Nazi Germany.

    So then if they weren’t attacking conservatives solely then why wasn’t a single leftist arrested or fined for violating mask mandates?
