Even Pittsburgh is good

2018-01-24 02:56:46 UTC

yeah but I said they couldn't pull more than 75

2018-01-24 02:56:53 UTC

it's deep blue

2018-01-24 02:57:11 UTC

Is it a suburb of Harrisburg or Philladelphia?

2018-01-24 02:57:16 UTC

in contrast the Democrats got 16,170 (62.5%) in 2016 and the GOP got 9,702 (37.5%) in 2016

2018-01-24 02:57:36 UTC

much of that 9,702 comes from people wanting to vote for Trump and voting for the local GOP candidate as an afterthought

2018-01-24 02:57:54 UTC

this race is near Pittsburgh

2018-01-24 02:57:57 UTC

Allegheny County

2018-01-24 02:58:03 UTC

hey, we gotta get people out to the polls, that's it

2018-01-24 02:58:10 UTC

apparently blacks are a decently large amount of the population

2018-01-24 02:58:16 UTC

it's been Democrat for 50 years

2018-01-24 02:58:21 UTC

Well Pittsburgh is a city

2018-01-24 02:58:24 UTC

no reason to black pill over losing it

2018-01-24 02:58:25 UTC

Itโ€™s nice tho

2018-01-24 02:59:01 UTC

a GOP voter in that area would be thinking "why bother"

2018-01-24 02:59:04 UTC

2018-01-24 02:59:15 UTC

This is Pittsburgh.

2018-01-24 02:59:20 UTC

I say this a lot, but I think Trump can do something big Justice wise and pull things around

2018-01-24 02:59:40 UTC

I may just be trying to whitepill myself

2018-01-24 02:59:42 UTC

On a scale from 1-10 how much do you think the dems will be hurt by the Shutdown?

2018-01-24 02:59:55 UTC

at least a 7

2018-01-24 03:00:08 UTC

As in the scale or whether it's a good or bad thing for them?

2018-01-24 03:00:13 UTC

Trump pulled off The Great Victory in 2016

2018-01-24 03:00:21 UTC

1 is least, 10 is most

2018-01-24 03:00:23 UTC

I wouldn't be surprised if he can pull off something similar this year

2018-01-24 03:00:33 UTC

8

2018-01-24 03:00:44 UTC

I would say an 8, because they rather defend Illegals than US citizens

2018-01-24 03:00:52 UTC

Not just because of the shutdown itself, but because of what it'll lead to

2018-01-24 03:00:54 UTC

It definitely will hurt them

2018-01-24 03:01:22 UTC

Anyone here remember what happened in September when Pelosi/Schumer originally agreed to have a deal w/ Trump on DACA?

2018-01-24 03:01:31 UTC

Yeah

2018-01-24 03:01:33 UTC

I remember

2018-01-24 03:02:00 UTC

remember, they didn't even concede on anything, they basically had a meeting and shook his hand, that's all

2018-01-24 03:02:29 UTC

lol there were a bunch of dumbasses on /pol/ trying to black pill because of that

2018-01-24 03:02:36 UTC

I know

2018-01-24 03:02:39 UTC

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399676530394923010/405557987097444372/image.png

2018-01-24 03:02:45 UTC

We need justice for this girl

2018-01-24 03:02:56 UTC

This illegal mother fucker needs to be killed

2018-01-24 03:03:46 UTC

Itโ€™s funny how the dems are protesting against Schumer and Pelosi

2018-01-24 03:03:59 UTC

Now, this is what happens without concessions

2018-01-24 03:04:19 UTC

They have politically backed themselves into a corner w/ the shutdown

2018-01-24 03:04:32 UTC

They have no leg to stand on, nothing to force

2018-01-24 03:04:47 UTC

They now know that if they force a shutdown, it's on them

2018-01-24 03:05:01 UTC

So, now they're at Trump's mercy

2018-01-24 03:05:12 UTC

They're agreeing to the wall

2018-01-24 03:05:26 UTC

Not just that, they're agreeing to it as the base of the negotiations

2018-01-24 03:05:33 UTC

That's not coming off the table

2018-01-24 03:05:58 UTC

Imagine the fucking backlash that'll come from the open borders progressives because of that

2018-01-24 03:06:08 UTC

I ride a Van to School

2018-01-24 03:06:15 UTC

It will make this little Pelosi protest look like a joke

2018-01-24 03:06:24 UTC

My driver is a Conservative, and we listen to Rush when Iโ€™m going home

2018-01-24 03:06:42 UTC

you're in high school?

2018-01-24 03:06:53 UTC

I go to this Special School

2018-01-24 03:07:18 UTC

Itโ€™s because I have Aspergers Syndrome

2018-01-24 03:07:20 UTC

@FLanon diastrous margin

2018-01-24 03:07:28 UTC

+30 point swing for Democrats

2018-01-24 03:07:33 UTC

so?

2018-01-24 03:07:46 UTC

swing?

2018-01-24 03:07:51 UTC

shift

2018-01-24 03:07:56 UTC

as I said before, the GOP voters in this district probably figured it was hopeless because it's been D for half a century

2018-01-24 03:08:01 UTC

wasn't it 73% I heard

2018-01-24 03:08:21 UTC

2016 was an anomaly

2018-01-24 03:08:25 UTC

The Georgia election was different

2018-01-24 03:08:27 UTC

because so many of the GOP voters turned out for Turmp

2018-01-24 03:08:34 UTC

yet it was still not enough to swing it

2018-01-24 03:08:45 UTC

The Dems thought Ossoff could win a Area that was red for 30 years

2018-01-24 03:08:46 UTC

from 58/39 to 73/26

2018-01-24 03:08:48 UTC

YIKES

2018-01-24 03:08:51 UTC

Spent a mil on it

2018-01-24 03:08:55 UTC

And still lost

2018-01-24 03:09:08 UTC

as I said, there's an explanation for that

2018-01-24 03:09:17 UTC

when was the district 58/39

2018-01-24 03:09:22 UTC

voters don't turn out when they think it's hopeless

2018-01-24 03:09:22 UTC

2016

2018-01-24 03:09:24 UTC

2016

2018-01-24 03:09:26 UTC

because of Trump

2018-01-24 03:09:27 UTC

closest thing I see is 62/37

2018-01-24 03:09:43 UTC

as I said, they turned out to vote for TRUMP and simply voted for the other GOP candidates on their ballot as an afterthought

2018-01-24 03:09:59 UTC

this time around, Trump isn't on the ballot

2018-01-24 03:10:09 UTC

and the district has been Democrat since 1969 (almost 50 years)

2018-01-24 03:10:22 UTC

massively Democrat, I'll add

2018-01-24 03:10:25 UTC

it's not a swing race

2018-01-24 03:10:37 UTC

hmm...

2018-01-24 03:10:45 UTC

Considering the fact they lost $1,000,000,000 on The 2016 Presidental Election, $1,000,000 on the Georgia seat and also 4 other seats they lost, The money they spent on the governorships in Virginia and New Jersey that they won, and The Alabama election, where they spent 6 times as much in that along with calling Moore A pedo. The Dems are out of Cash.

2018-01-24 03:10:47 UTC

the only reason we cared about this is IF the GOP won today, it would mean something VERY GOOD for us

2018-01-24 03:10:51 UTC

The RNC should be pooling their cash for a massive attack in the general season

2018-01-24 03:10:53 UTC

but still,

2018-01-24 03:10:54 UTC

all that we learn from today that it's business as usual

2018-01-24 03:11:01 UTC

the data from beforehand predicted this outcome

2018-01-24 03:11:18 UTC

@Rhodesiaboo what state are you from

2018-01-24 03:11:21 UTC

the average swing from before was the swing we saw today

2018-01-24 03:11:28 UTC

I'm familiar with some schools that cater to those with Aspergers

2018-01-24 03:11:29 UTC

he's from Ohio right

2018-01-24 03:11:36 UTC
2018-01-24 03:11:37 UTC

I went to a boarding school in upstate NY

2018-01-24 03:11:39 UTC

ah

2018-01-24 03:12:05 UTC

how big is that school? I wonder how they can cram it full of people with aspergers and not just have you guys be in a regular school

2018-01-24 03:12:11 UTC

went to a public school growing up

2018-01-24 03:12:20 UTC

that shit redpills you better than anything else

2018-01-24 03:12:31 UTC

I went to a Public School for elementary and most of Middle school

2018-01-24 03:12:37 UTC

yeah, I went to public schools all my life too until the very end

2018-01-24 03:12:54 UTC

now there's the shitholes

2018-01-24 03:12:56 UTC

The school I go to is for kids with Autism or Special Needs

2018-01-24 03:13:05 UTC

I wasn't red pilled by going to them (even though some of them were mostly black)

2018-01-24 03:13:10 UTC

It has 25 rooms, each with 6 kids

2018-01-24 03:13:14 UTC

I was still a leftist who excused their behavior

2018-01-24 03:13:23 UTC

Some more, some less

2018-01-24 03:13:34 UTC

what are the attitudes of the kids in your school towards politics

2018-01-24 03:13:46 UTC

i don't know, some people get that click at different times

2018-01-24 03:13:48 UTC

I wouldn't be surprised if many people are redpilled by going to schools that are mostly black

2018-01-24 03:13:54 UTC

or at least have a siginificant enough portion of them

2018-01-24 03:14:10 UTC

it's what I call the deep south effect

2018-01-24 03:14:23 UTC

@Red Storm (in NYC) Most kids are Neutral since they donโ€™t know much. My teachers are either Conservative, Liberal, or Donโ€™t care about politics

2018-01-24 03:14:30 UTC

the states with most of them have the most conservative whites

2018-01-24 03:14:55 UTC

in public school it is liberal x100

2018-01-24 03:15:06 UTC

pretty much

2018-01-24 03:15:15 UTC

And the school consists mostly of White Boys, though there are some Black Boys and a few girls

2018-01-24 03:15:17 UTC

American public schools are complete and utter dogshit

2018-01-24 03:15:27 UTC

you're better off spending those years in prison

2018-01-24 03:15:32 UTC

at least you'd be conditioned for the real world

2018-01-24 03:15:47 UTC

@Red Storm (in NYC) Of course. My brother tells me that his school is very liberal.

2018-01-24 03:15:47 UTC

it is a fucking prison

2018-01-24 03:15:49 UTC

public schools are incredibly inefficient (even counterproductive!) at doing academics right

2018-01-24 03:15:51 UTC

I'm worried we could see a backlash against Trump in Ohio,
I'm worried jobs are coming fast enough.
Especially to downtrodden cities like Canton, Toledo, Sandusky etc...

2018-01-24 03:15:58 UTC

it's worse than a prison

2018-01-24 03:16:16 UTC

at least prison is honest about what it does and it doesn't try to brainwash you

2018-01-24 03:16:17 UTC

at least if you're in prison, you're clear about the fact that it's a prison, and you're forced to adapt to a harsh environment

2018-01-24 03:16:19 UTC

and it's free

2018-01-24 03:16:26 UTC

(for you)

2018-01-24 03:16:29 UTC

public schools not only create a fake coddled environment, they still restrict your freedom

2018-01-24 03:16:46 UTC

@FLanon Plus The food you get at prison is probably better than at schools

2018-01-24 03:16:53 UTC

and they take an entire year to cover something that should be covered in a week

2018-01-24 03:17:12 UTC

@Rhodesiaboo I heard of some serial killer making a snarky comment about that

2018-01-24 03:17:16 UTC

Michelle Obama really fucked up School Lunches

2018-01-24 03:17:25 UTC

he used to work in a school or something and he said the food in prison was better

2018-01-24 03:17:32 UTC

it's day care and everyone's gotta suffer for it

2018-01-24 03:17:39 UTC

@Rhodesiaboo I wonder if Michelle Obama's lunches affected Gen Z's political outlook

2018-01-24 03:17:54 UTC

wouldn't be hard to imagine that

2018-01-24 03:17:57 UTC

I donโ€™t have a cafeteria at my school, rather we bring packed lunches

2018-01-24 03:18:07 UTC

Though we do go to the Supermarket to buy food

2018-01-24 03:18:17 UTC

Through the money our parents bring in

2018-01-24 03:19:03 UTC

when the kids come, either religious or homeschool for them

2018-01-24 03:19:19 UTC

I'm not sending them to that hellhole

2018-01-24 03:20:28 UTC

My classroom consists of A Jehovahโ€™s Witness who has the Craziest Family tree, A Black Kid who likes to draw, Another white kid who Usually is quiet, And an Atheist (not the fedora tipping kind) who goes here in the morning and goes to an academy at 9:30

2018-01-24 03:21:15 UTC

tbh I think we should have the federal department of education abolished and just let the states handle it

2018-01-24 03:21:18 UTC

what do you cover in class, generally?

2018-01-24 03:21:37 UTC

aspies tend to excel very well in academics....if they're the type to care

2018-01-24 03:22:43 UTC

My teacher is An Ex-hippie who is Vegetarian but she doesnโ€™t force it down our throats and is Politically Neutral. We are taught English, Biology, U.S History, Geometry, And Thatโ€™s it

2018-01-24 03:23:01 UTC

only one teacher?

2018-01-24 03:23:10 UTC

We also have 2 Aids

2018-01-24 03:23:32 UTC

Itโ€™s 1 teacher per classroom

2018-01-24 03:23:45 UTC

public school teaches you the most worthless bullshit ever

2018-01-24 03:23:49 UTC

And we stay in the classroom except for Stuff like Woodshop or shopping

2018-01-24 03:24:26 UTC

shopping?

2018-01-24 03:24:39 UTC

@FLanon so fucking true

2018-01-24 03:24:41 UTC

We go shopping on Every other Monday

2018-01-24 03:24:43 UTC

For food

2018-01-24 03:24:47 UTC

For our lunches

2018-01-24 03:24:52 UTC

Itโ€™s really helpful

2018-01-24 03:24:54 UTC

All the things I learned while going to public schools were learned because I took the initiative to learn them

2018-01-24 03:25:09 UTC

helpful in what sense? To learn about nutrition?

2018-01-24 03:25:12 UTC

Most useful things I learned I did independently researching them

2018-01-24 03:25:18 UTC

Nutrition and how to spend money

2018-01-24 03:25:27 UTC

See, that's something

2018-01-24 03:25:31 UTC

I can't think of one useful thing I learned from the public school system

2018-01-24 03:25:46 UTC

aside from the fact that I shouldn't trust the government and mainstream society

2018-01-24 03:25:58 UTC

(and that's something I indirectly learned, not something they tried to teach me)

2018-01-24 03:26:07 UTC

On Tuesdays and Thursdays We run a Breakfast Shop where we sell Bagels, Toast, Coffee, Breakfast Bars, Hot Chocolate, And Tea

2018-01-24 03:26:16 UTC

mmmm, tasty

2018-01-24 03:26:23 UTC

Most of the subjects are garbage

2018-01-24 03:26:28 UTC

any plans for college @Rhodesiaboo ?

2018-01-24 03:26:35 UTC

you don't need college in this day and age

2018-01-24 03:26:39 UTC

(not that you ever really needed it)

2018-01-24 03:26:55 UTC

@Red Storm (in NYC) Business seems interesting. If I do go to college Iโ€™ll go to Hillsdale

2018-01-24 03:27:00 UTC

but even moreso with all the new opportunities in 2018 , you don't need college

2018-01-24 03:27:16 UTC

I would steer clear of college if you don't need to

2018-01-24 03:27:35 UTC

Unless you're getting full ride, I wouldn't debt-slave myself

2018-01-24 03:27:37 UTC

hmm

2018-01-24 03:27:53 UTC

western heritage

2018-01-24 03:27:56 UTC

hmm

2018-01-24 03:28:01 UTC

the thing is

2018-01-24 03:28:02 UTC

It doesnโ€™t accept Federal Funding either

2018-01-24 03:28:07 UTC

I'd rather learn about that on my own

2018-01-24 03:28:25 UTC

@Rhodesiaboo if you want to go into business, you're better off starting a business ASAP

2018-01-24 03:28:42 UTC

I was raised In a conservative household with 2 Brothers.

2018-01-24 03:28:43 UTC

entreprenuership and business is something you're not going to need college for

2018-01-24 03:28:45 UTC

look up this guy named Alex Becker

2018-01-24 03:29:00 UTC

Both brothers are younger

2018-01-24 03:29:04 UTC

plenty of useful business stuff you can find online

2018-01-24 03:29:08 UTC

this guy will teach you how to make money in business

2018-01-24 03:29:12 UTC

Cool

2018-01-24 03:29:14 UTC

better than college will

2018-01-24 03:29:18 UTC

watch as many videos as you can

2018-01-24 03:29:23 UTC

start watching his stuff now, it's entertaining

2018-01-24 03:29:32 UTC

he's comedic (also a right winger)

2018-01-24 03:30:23 UTC

I can really only think of one thing I learned in public school that was actually useful to life

2018-01-24 03:30:35 UTC

by a teacher at least

2018-01-24 03:30:52 UTC

I had a history teacher back in 8th grade

2018-01-24 03:31:28 UTC

He decided to go off the course of teaching history for a bit and started going into economics, retirement, and saving money

2018-01-24 03:31:46 UTC

supply/demand, investments, all that stuff

2018-01-24 03:31:55 UTC

From Kindergarten To the middle of the Second grade I was at this Elementary school near me that was crap because the only guy who could help me was the Principal.

2018-01-24 03:32:30 UTC

I transferred to this other school from the other half of Second grade to Fifth Grade that suited my needs but it was kind of hard

2018-01-24 03:32:36 UTC

that was useful, and I enjoyed it

2018-01-24 03:32:46 UTC

@Rhodesiaboo you probably have a lot of potential, it's just that it's crushed by how shitty the public school system is

2018-01-24 03:32:57 UTC

From sixth to the middle of Seventh Grade I was at this retarded Middle School

2018-01-24 03:32:57 UTC

@FLanon that sounds pretty great

2018-01-24 03:33:07 UTC

did most of your class understand it

2018-01-24 03:33:10 UTC

Sixth Grade was fine, but Seventh was awful

2018-01-24 03:33:17 UTC

middle school in general is awful

2018-01-24 03:33:26 UTC

understood, maybe, cared, no.

2018-01-24 03:33:42 UTC

I was kept in the room I started out in, and got suspended a lot

2018-01-24 03:33:44 UTC

what part of Florida are you in again?

2018-01-24 03:33:53 UTC

Around Tampa Bay

2018-01-24 03:33:56 UTC

@Rhodesiaboo what got you suspended a lot?

2018-01-24 03:33:58 UTC

I once said I tried to kill myself, and had to see a therapist

2018-01-24 03:34:03 UTC

@FLanon did you hear about the serial killer?

2018-01-24 03:34:16 UTC

It was a couple weeks back, yeah

2018-01-24 03:34:17 UTC

@Rhodesiaboo sorry to hear that, I suffered through suicidal depression as a teen too

2018-01-24 03:34:22 UTC

@Red Storm (in NYC) I just didnโ€™t like the way they were teaching.

2018-01-24 03:34:25 UTC

that serial killer went to St. John's University

2018-01-24 03:34:33 UTC

which is a 40 minute walk away from my apartment

2018-01-24 03:34:37 UTC

it's a small world

2018-01-24 03:34:49 UTC

Eventually they showed me this private school for kids like me, and Iโ€™ve stayed there since

2018-01-24 03:34:56 UTC

Iโ€™m a lot calmer, and happier

2018-01-24 03:34:59 UTC

@Rhodesiaboo are you on meds?

2018-01-24 03:35:10 UTC

@Red Storm (in NYC) No, i was never on any meds

2018-01-24 03:35:12 UTC

btw, what made you depressed? Was it the environment of the school you were in?

2018-01-24 03:35:19 UTC

I wouldn't be surprised if it was

2018-01-24 03:35:36 UTC

that's why I think public schools are not only useless, they're harmful

2018-01-24 03:35:39 UTC

@Red Storm (in NYC) Yeah, it was very shitty. I was stuck with this kid who had big meltdowns because he couldnโ€™t speak.

2018-01-24 03:35:52 UTC

They really they should focus on stuff like teaching fiscal responsibility, entrepreneurship, values, and normal empirical stuff like mathematics.

2018-01-24 03:35:56 UTC

And I only left the room when lunch arrived

2018-01-24 03:36:12 UTC

btw life will get MUCH better once you're done with high school

2018-01-24 03:36:15 UTC

you're what...16?

2018-01-24 03:36:19 UTC

15

2018-01-24 03:36:33 UTC

Literacy is okay, but the way English classes have gone in the US is downhill.

2018-01-24 03:36:43 UTC

what is the attitude of your peers towards politics

2018-01-24 03:36:48 UTC

is the Gen Zyklon meme real

2018-01-24 03:37:02 UTC

They all are politically neutral

2018-01-24 03:37:05 UTC

From what I gather there seems to be a lot more division

2018-01-24 03:37:13 UTC

Most of them donโ€™t care about politics

2018-01-24 03:37:13 UTC

if not outright apathy

2018-01-24 03:37:14 UTC

@FLanon I honestly think all you need to do is teach a kid how to read, and let their natural curiosity make them great readers

2018-01-24 03:37:20 UTC

Exactly

2018-01-24 03:37:25 UTC

the thing is, the public school system conditions them to hate reading

2018-01-24 03:37:44 UTC

which leads to most of the population being uncultured retards

2018-01-24 03:38:02 UTC

We just need to teach them how to read, and that's it
