Most people believe in God, so you're arguing most people are being swindled, implying they are not intelligent enough to come to their own conclusions on the existence of a higher power. That is a very pessimistic view of reality I think, especially when people such as Galileo, Darwin, and Newton were very religious themselves.

I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish by using such a wide brush to paint such an inaccurate, broad picture. This really isn't much better than saying "democrats are communists".

Yes. Politically militant people are becoming more common. This time last month people seemed to have been much more agreeable even if they didn't agree with you.

You can't regulate automation to stop it. You need to learn to adapt just like everyone else who has been automated out of a job.

Where did I say religion works for everyone? I gave it as one example of something that worked for me and clearly works for billions of others.

I've had awful experiences with the mental health system, but I think getting triggered by someone saying therapy worked for them makes sense. Sorry to hear you suffered.

My grievances? I do not have any, I voted Joe Biden in 2020. I'm simply telling you how people you clearly don't understand see this situation.

The fact Trump was willing to do that is proof to many of his supporters that he "has their back".

Why only sexual abuse? This is a problem for survivors of child abuse in general. By the time we realize we have legal recourse it's usually too late. You get like 2-5 years after the incident depending on your state.

My abusers will never face justice simply because I was too young and poor to file charges. I would like to see these extensions given to all child abuse victims, not just sexual.

Good. I'm a conservative Wisconsinite myself, but the state senate acts like they're royalty, continually ignoring they will of the people and saying that's what we actually want.

See: Marijuana reform. We have millions, possibly billions in taxes going to other states and state republicans claim the people aren't ready for it, even though something like 70%+ of the states population is in favor of legalization.

Meanwhile we have almost all of the top 50 counties in the US for alcoholism. But ignore that, weed crime is the real issue apparently.

We need the state congress to accurately represent the people, not this corrupt bs we have now.

Yes. Many religious people including myself feel happy. That's one method.

Others find a purpose in their life to drive toward or dedicate themselves to. Be it art, friends, family, work, learning etc.

I would suggest looking at what you want from life, and asking yourself what the first step is to achieving that. I find that I'm at my happiest when I'm keeping on track with my goals.

My state stupreme court (Wisconsin)ruled that the covid voting measures taken during the 2020 election were illegal. That isn't a conspiracy theory, it's just fact.

Ignoring people's grievances with the process being illegally changed and acting as if it's just a conspiracy theory is just going to drive many to vote forfor Trump.

Are people really surprised by this? Trump was indicted for January 6th just before an election year. I don't condone violence, but it is prone to happen a lot between now and November 2024. Depending on the outcome, there'll probably be a lot of violence immediately after November 2024 as well...

Goodness help us.

Talking about bringing manufacturing jobs back to the Midwest is a very big one here. Whether or not it actually makes economic sense to do so doesn't matter, the fact is he's saying it. People want to hear that.
