Thoughts on bump stocks?

2018-08-05 15:13:58 UTC  

You can ban them, but Trump doesn't have the authority to do so through executive means

2018-08-05 15:14:08 UTC  

Has to be done through Congress

2018-08-05 15:14:13 UTC  

Not through the DOJ

2018-08-05 15:15:09 UTC  

If midterms sway in the ***right*** direction, Trump can breeze through his campaign promises and get lots of things done

2018-08-05 15:17:01 UTC  

brb

2018-08-05 15:21:26 UTC  

hmm not sure because even this GOP congress has been deadlocked on his agenda

2018-08-05 15:23:44 UTC  

I wouldn't say a majority of his agenda but yeah definitely some

2018-08-05 15:24:06 UTC  

but still can get a lot more done with a rightwing majority congress than he can with the current congress

2018-08-05 15:24:57 UTC  

but it is a right wing congress

2018-08-05 15:25:25 UTC  

a MAGA congress just isn't gonna happen

2018-08-05 15:27:55 UTC  

The Senate is only rightwing by 10 seats, House though thats a different story.

2018-08-05 15:28:49 UTC  

@IИVДLID CЯΞДΓIФИ , are you right wing?

2018-08-05 15:29:43 UTC  

like a MAGA right winger?

2018-08-05 15:29:45 UTC  

no

2018-08-05 15:37:03 UTC  

Lol

2018-08-05 15:37:17 UTC  

Everyone is MAGA

2018-08-05 15:37:35 UTC  

That’s the beauty of populism, it’s whatever you want it to be

2018-08-05 15:37:58 UTC  

Conservatism > populism

2018-08-05 15:38:14 UTC  

Populism can be conservatism

2018-08-05 15:38:24 UTC  

Populism is more rooted in the left really

2018-08-05 15:38:40 UTC  

well at least originally

2018-08-05 15:38:41 UTC  

Populism is a state, not an ideology really

2018-08-05 15:39:44 UTC  

It’s a distrust of the status quo and the established classes

2018-08-05 15:40:19 UTC  

I know that

2018-08-05 15:40:28 UTC  

and that's been apart of the left's messaging for A LONG TIME

2018-08-05 15:41:18 UTC  

It’s part of anyone that’s not in the establishment lol

2018-08-05 15:41:25 UTC  

Trump just somehow managed to make it work for him

2018-08-05 15:45:15 UTC  

Where you want the change to go and where the establishment is decides if you’re right or left

2018-08-05 15:45:28 UTC  

Trump isn’t a phenomenon

2018-08-05 15:46:16 UTC  

Which is why I said it's been apart of the left's messaging for decades

2018-08-05 15:46:39 UTC  

No I’m saying trump as a right wing populist isn’t out of place

2018-08-05 15:46:39 UTC  

Trump only seized on it and perfected it to his advantage to win the rust belt states

2018-08-05 15:46:53 UTC  

I guess

2018-08-05 15:46:55 UTC  

It’s not a leftist thing

2018-08-05 15:47:47 UTC  

but stopping the Establishment and the top 1% of the ruling class has been with the left forever

2018-08-05 15:48:17 UTC  

sure populism can be right or left, but the fact remains it's originated from the left

2018-08-05 15:48:24 UTC  

The only argument you could make is that if is slightly more common on the left because the natural state of the status quo is centre right

2018-08-05 15:49:11 UTC  

Populism predates Marxism, capitalism, and certainly predates your definition of the establishment as the “1%”

2018-08-05 15:49:50 UTC  

I said establishment and 1%, didn't make them one and the same
