      They’re not trying to kill children, they want workers, it’s about keeping people preoccupied with social issues like that so they ignore the wealth hoarding and corruption going on

        It’s literally just about getting votes by dividing the population so that they can stay in power.

        Nothing else actually matters to them as a group.

        It’s all about winning the popularity contest, and if you can’t win because you’re actually popular and people like you, the next best thing is to win by making people hate your opponent.

          It’s all of these really, killing minorities, preventing people from aborting their future workers, dividing people on social issues so they can’t come together to fix the system, and doing all that while creating a voterbase that blindly supports them. Dems are pretty similar. They just piggyback off of what the right is doing and say “we won’t do that!!” While still quietly letting most of it happen because they’re also in it to hoard wealth and power.

        They’re not not trying to kill children. Which is pretty close to trying to kill children. Not exactly the same. But close enough.

          I think that’s the emphasis you were going for

            Yeah, that’s where it would go. Thank you.

            I didn’t have emphasis in mind. I was just trying to make it so the two words were distinct from each other.
