Republican vs Democrat

After 5 years of daily back and forth

[DwightShrute]

I am glad both of you agree with me on everything I said. Finally.

Str, I admire the effort you make to be less controversial or appear independent. Just keep in mind it needs to be authentic.

Americans save over 4 billion dollars a year when gas drops 3 cents at the pump. That's a lot of french fries and chicken McNuggets.

The America public has been sold out by the Washington swamp for a long time now. They have made a fortune for themselves and their friends off the backs of middle class. Its turned into a scam which has attracted the biggest dirtbags in America. They opt out of the healthcare plan they designed for the rest of you while telling you how great it is. They give themselves raises all the time. They get paid even while they shut down the government. They have security and get thousands for they home security. They have convinced Americans that losing is ok and incompetence should be rewarded. The republicans are far from perfect, but the democrats are the enemy. They have nothing but hate, lies and race baiting in their arsenal. Their favorable rating is something like 18% which is amazing that its that high.

So you would rather pay more for gas?

You can spin shit all ya want but Trump has taken the bull by the horns and is working his ass off for the country. He's hired great people to his cabinet.

Obama divided the country like no other president, he smoked Newports, told everyone there's no magic wand, passed a disastrous healthcare plan, spied on the Trump campaign, and lied to the public saying Trump colluded with Russia after his own FBI said told him he never did. You didn't build that! LOL.

Biden was a complete embarrassment. He did nothing except sleep, wondered off constantly, fell down and up, shook hands with people who weren't there, and weaponized the justice system against Trump. Banana republic shit from the worst president and administration in US history.

https://x.com/i/status/1997173853403910558

Trump has stopped illegal immigration, he's getting rid of people who are in the country illegally, trillions in new investments to the US, no tax on tips, no tax on OT. Wages are increasing. Streets are safer, criminals are being rounded up, millions of illegals self-deported. There are too many to list but he's done more in the first 10 months than Obama and Biden could do in 100 presidencies. Its simply amazing. America is respected again.

Don't forget that the dems couldn't even stand and applaud for kid with brain cancer during the SOTU. Remember the moron with the cane? The dem party are infested with the dumbest people in Washington. They call their own ICE agents 'gestapos'. Sanctuary cities? How could that be a thing even? AOC, Crocket, Omar, Talib, Lieu, Schumer and the guy who asked a US General if Guam could sink if too many military personnel landed. Oh and that moron who actually flew to El Salvador to try a bring back to the US a known gang member and human traficker. LOL. They allowed men into the women's sports, bathrooms and walking around with their cokks hanging out in women's locker rooms. They even have a mentally ill dude in congress right now, who dresses up as a woman and pretends he is a woman.

The dems have no plan except lie about Trump and use the race card at every turn. That's it. They shut down the government because the wanted hundreds of billions for healthcare for illegal aliens. They will even convince some people to still vote for them. Any don't forget, the dems all voted against tax cuts.

With the 2025 extension, the average household saves ~$2,900 annually. Suddenly paying less taxes is a bad thing just as paying a less for gas it apparently.

No, both parties are not the same. You could make that argument in years past and I would agree with you, but not anymore. Not under Trump. He continues to show how incompetent politicians are and how corrupt the MSM are. Its no secret why they hate him and lie about him so much.

Time to wake up and admit the swamp is real. You don't sit back and watch tens of thousands of factories close, send billions to other countries for stupid shit, start endless wars and get 38 trillion in debt if you were competent.

You : Str, I admire the effort you make to be less controversial or appear independent. Just keep in mind it needs to be authentic.


Me: Oh Dwight, it is very authentic. I have run my own business (2 of them), since I was 21 years old. The last thing I would ever do is listen to someone who is paid to say what they say and that payoff drives their opinion. I left my first business at age 46 when rampant cheating and illegal maneuvers became accepted behavior. I don't steal, cheat or lie. That makes life perfect for me.

What I think needs to happen for something to be authentic is that we don't build up someone by saying that others were this or that. I have always felt each persons track record reflects who that person is. The things someone does, says who that person is or who you are. The way someone thinks does as well.

What I see you wrote, tells me there must not be a whole lot of good to say about someone when his best accolades are what someone else did or did not do.

You: Americans save over 4 billion dollars a year when gas drops 3 cents at the pump. That's a lot of french fries and chicken McNuggets.

Me: Indeed it is. Like I said, 5 bucks gets them a 20 piece and a fry once a YEAR. That feeds roughly 2 of the people in the family. Hope the rest are OK. No drink though, let's not go crazy .


You: The America public has been sold out by the Washington swamp for a long time now. They have made a fortune for themselves and their friends off the backs of middle class. Its turned into a scam which has attracted the biggest dirtbags in America.


Me: Absolutely ! I've lived in Wash. DC my entire life. I know exactly what the swamp is and most importantly, WHO is in it.


You: The republicans are far from perfect, but the democrats are the enemy.

Me: Disagree. There are plenty of extremely decent people on both sides. They aren't THE enemy. They are your enemy or a anyone's who choose to be told what and how to think, and perceive, of what is there for all to judge.

There is a house member who I grew up with. He is a little older than me. Lived a block away. He was always a great guy IMO. Don't agree with everything he says but who does right? The last thing I would call him is an enemy.



Your next two paragraphs are simply a rant , brought to you by, the Republican party. Other than responding with " Naw Ahh " I have no intertest in that stuff. It might give you or someone else the thought that I am therefore, a Democrat. I am not !
That's a game I never play.



You: With the 2025 extension, the average household saves ~$2,900 annually. Suddenly paying less taxes is a bad thing just as paying a less for gas it apparently.

Me: The average household doesn't SAVE money because prices did not go higher. They just were not forced to spend more. Like I said, at Mickey D's they got some nuggs and a fry. No drink but hey, shut up and eat.


You: No, both parties are not the same. You could make that argument in years past and I would agree with you, but not anymore. Not under Trump. He continues to show how incompetent politicians are and how corrupt the MSM are. Its no secret why they hate him and lie about him so much.

Me: I meant the same level of BS. Maybe file it under, "there is more than one way to skin a cat." And their level of hate is no greater than the level of hate that the R's have towards the other party. You know that man. It's the continual smoke and mirror game that has been played for centuries.


You: Time to wake up and admit the swamp is real. You don't sit back and watch tens of thousands of factories close, send billions to other countries for stupid shit, start endless wars and get 38 trillion in debt if you were competent.


Me: Because this discussion/ political argument has gone back and forth with no end in sight, I suggest you argue with AI about this.

Here is AI's response.

Partisan Contributions
While both parties share responsibility, each often emphasizes the other's role:

• Republicans often point to increased government spending by Democrats. However, Republican-backed tax cuts, such as the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, have also significantly contributed to the debt by reducing federal revenue.
• Democrats frequently criticize Republican tax cuts and defense spending. They argue that while spending increases contribute to debt, tax cuts are a major driver of the increasing debt-to-GDP ratio.

Ultimately, the national debt is the result of accumulated decisions made by many different administrations and Congresses over time, reflecting a broad societal demand for both lower taxes and substantial government benefits and services.





Lastly, and on a much more interesting subject IMO, the Dolphins have had a tough year but for me, I do think their head coach is a lot better than the bashing he has taken by the media. I like him, a lot. He is smart and although there were rumors he lost the clubhouse for a while, he has it back, if indeed he ever lost it, and has had it back for several weeks. I feel sometimes people show their best attributes when they are down, not on top of the world. I think he is a helluva good coach. I hope the Dolphins keep him. But if not, someone else will and I expect he will shine bright in do time.

I experienced something like that in a much smaller scale when I was in the world of sports and am much more proud of things I did when it was bad as compared to when it was great. The song New Kid In Town by the Eagles came out in 1976, the same year I started my first company. I WAS that new kid in town, just like I was the guy towards the end of the song when the next new kid in town arrived.

Never really knew what it all meant until my song was over. Bob Dylan called it maybe the greatest song ever written. I would agree.


I'm going to hop off the political thread again for a while. A little goes a long way with me.

GL Dwight. Go Fins ! Go Mike McDaniel !

P.S. Anyone that has not seen that movie, American President, if they have two hours , should try and watch it. It says a lot more about Washington DC, Capitol Hill, and the White House than it seems, if you just take it in at face value, not with a predetermined opinion.

[Optional]

dude, you must be joking?

Opti, you are blaming the wrong guy.

I'm blaming the govt and system and media and however we needed up with the people so divided.

You're the one trying to blame a guy... whilst excusing the guy on the other side of that same coin as some 4d chess playing king of the people.

The swamp is just as deep and smelly as it always has been. You too can see it if you look critically.

[DwightShrute]

Yay, Dwight finally seeing what is going on!

Congrats on pulling your head out of the sand and getting some woke Dwight

dude, you must be joking?

Opti, you are blaming the wrong guy. That is how indoctrination works. The woke knows it. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

How many times have I posted this 2017 video? A dozen? This is only a small clip.

“Today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another – but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People. For too long, a small group in our nation’s Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost. Washington flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth. Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories closed. The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country. Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation’s Capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land. That all changes – starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you. It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America.”- President Trump aka the People’s President.

https://x.com/i/status/1820929626165662198

It was maybe the greatest inaugural speeches of all time. That is why the dems hate him and so many republicans as well. He exposes them all, regardless of party. Paul Ryan was a joke. Mitt Romney was a joke. Obama was a disaster and so lied to the people after his own FBI said there was nothing to the Russian collusion story. Crooked Hillary was gonna be more of the same, like Biden was. Just wasted years while the people lost.

The liberal media wanted Crooked to win because Trump was not afraid to call them out for what they are and that is bad for business.

The reason you and many others hate Trump is very simple. Trump sprays fire retardant all over the bullshit you continue to believe. lie after lie and hoax after hoax have been debunked over the years, and yet many of you still sit at the table asking for more. He uses harsh truths because that is the only way people will listen.

The swamp would rather keep enriching themselves and their buddies. A shit disturber, like Trump, is bad for their business. Hopefully Rubio and JD will continue Trump's reawakening and keep America on the right path in 2029.

Have to admit, the gas prices have dropped 3 cents in the last year as pointed out yesterday. A major accomplishment. People should be so excited.

If you get 20 gallons twice a month filling up, that’s 480 gallons of gas per year. So 3 cents times 480= 1,440. So… every year the consumer saves 14.40 which means they can go to MacDonalds and buy a 20 piece nuggets and a large fry and it only costs about 5 bucks.
I’ll assume they walk to wherever they are going because the new car prices with inflation and tariffs are out of the question for the majority of Americans.

And this is exactly why I spoke up yesterday about politics. People throw around total bullshit with gas prices, etc.

It’s a never ending argument with half truths , misleading statements and lies from both sides.

What a colossal waste of time this is.

Surging gas prices worsen affordability crisis for Americans

Record US LNG exports are colliding with a cold snap as rising energy costs create political problem for Trump.



US natural gas prices are soaring as the country ships record amounts of the fuel overseas, contributing to an affordability crisis that is causing political problems for Donald Trump. Wholesale prices have jumped more than 70 per cent in the past 12 months, with the US benchmark Henry Hub price settling at $5.29 on Friday, its highest level since December 21 2022 during the energy crisis sparked by Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The price surge is contributing to a deepening sense of runaway costs in the US, and flies in the face of Trump’s claims to have driven down energy prices during his first year back in office. It comes alongside frigid temperatures across the US, pushing up demand for power generation to heat homes and businesses.

Trump has prioritised boosting LNG exports overseas and gas production at home to fuel the AI boom, as part of a strategy to unleash “US energy dominance”. But he faces growing pushback from consumers and industry concerned that rising power prices are worsening a “cost of living crisis” and denting competitiveness.

“As North America exports more natural gas, it imports higher and more volatile gas prices as a result,” said Clark Williams-Derry, analyst at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, a think-tank backed by environmental foundations. “This is great news for the gas industry, which has seen a bump in revenues.
But it’s not so great if you’re a US consumer who relies on gas for heating or power,” he said.

Analysts say it may also reflect a structural shift in gas pricing, as an increasing share of production is diverted to booming LNG exports and an anticipated rise in demand from energy-hungry artificial intelligence data centres. “During the coldest days of winter, LNG exports and local consumers are competing for the same supply molecules. In extreme weather scenarios, there may not be enough gas supply to satisfy both,” said Eric McGuire, analyst at Wood Mackenzie, an energy consultancy.

Industrial Energy Consumers of America, a group representing large energy-consuming manufacturers, said US policymakers should prioritise domestic customers over LNG exports. “As export volumes grow, price and reliability risks increase for US consumers and directly impact manufacturing competitiveness,” said Paul Cicio, chief executive of the Industrial Energy Consumers of America. “We do not have an alternative. We are stuck at the end of a pipeline.”

Now back to reality in December 2025 .

U.S. National Average Gas Price Falls Below $3/gal, Lowest Level Since 2021

November 28, 2025 Average U.S. gas prices now stand at lowest level in over 1,660 days

DALLAS, TX, November 28, 2025 — Gas Buddy , North America’s trusted source for fuel savings for more than 25 years, today reports that the national average price of gasoline has fallen below $3 per gallon for the first time since May 2021—marking a significant milestone for motorists as the country heads deeper into the winter driving season. According to GasBuddy data, average prices have fallen in all 50 states over the last seven days, an exceptionally rare and broad-based retreat.

It is almost sad how cringeworthy almost all of their theatrical nonsense that they choose to put out there. Thankfully it seems they are incapable of learning from their mistakes or reading the room.

[jt315]

Eggs ups 50% and gas up 20% where I live since January 21. Thanks Trump.

And thanks for planning to buy Greenland, Panama Canal and Gaza Strip. We have money to buy foreign lands but no money to buy eggs and gas.

And thanks for making the Gulf of America creating jobs for cartographers.

This is worse than encouraging 20 million illegals to waltz into the US and insisting they get full benefits.

I have said it a hundred times and posted several videos from countries who are being destroyed from within. Canada, France, Germany, Sweden and England are just a few who might never recover because of weak ass politicians who allowed the wolves into the chicken coop. Once they are in, its virtually impossible to get rid of them. These are the same people who shout Queers for Palestine and who think men can get pregnant.

In England, 11 cops went to a woman's house and arrested her for using the word Fagggot in a private DM. She sent the text from the hospital after being assaulted and used that word to describe her attacker who wasn't even gay. Nothing happened to the attacker. She faced 5-10 years in prison.

Dwight, if we have to declare how bad others were in order to describe how good someone else is, what’s that say?
I applaud your conviction and you work hard here. But I see your answer as in the same tone that others scream from the rooftops about his opposition.
it’s why I have never enjoyed politics.


The American people do not share your sentiments Dwight. I know, polls are rigged.
“It’s all BS and it’s bad for you “was as true a quote as anyone ever said.
Tax cuts ? Tariffs? What silly arguments .Food prices are ridiculous. But that’s the thing, unless you see it yourself, people aren’t sure.

Gas prices which have been the same where I live for years now. Cmon man.

The movie American President unpacks a lot of this nonsense. “ People will drink the sand because they don’t know the difference “.

My tone is just pointing out facts and sharing my thoughts based on doing my homework on a subject. I share my thoughts not because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Americans do share my thoughts actually. Decent people do. They elected Trump for a second time. Trump has exposed politicians from both sides at what losers they are and have been. It's hard for many people to admit they have been sucked in supporting incompetence for so long, so their defense mechanism is to blame the guy who's actually got the smarts and courage to fix it. And when he's doing so, then they are left with well look things are still expensive haha. As if somehow Trump can fix decades of incompetence overnight. You don't build a new garden, plant and water the soil and get tomatoes the next day.

Things are getting better str, despite what CNN and MSNOW are telling you.

Current US Gas Prices in December 2025As of December 5, 2025, the national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in the US is $2.99, according to the latest data from AAA and GasBuddy. This marks a recent dip below $3.00, down from $3.02 a week ago and $3.03 a year ago. In real terms (adjusted for inflation), this is even lower, providing significant relief compared to recent years.Are They the Lowest in 5 Years?Yes, current prices are the lowest they've been across the US since April 2020, well below the 5-year threshold (which would compare to December 2020 onward). The last time the national average fell below $3.00 was in May 2021 ($2.98), but prices were substantially lower in 2020 due to pandemic-driven demand collapse.

str, yeah the healthcare is a major problem if one gets very ill. Someone works their entire life and then goes broke when they or someone in the family gets sick. There really should be a cap or ceiling on medical costs but I'm not sure we will ever see that with the sickening greed out there.

As far as the rest of it, I just want to be left alone for the most part and certainly do not want government telling me what to think, what to feel and flipping the country and customs upside down with radical ideas.

Anyways, all the best to you and yours over the holidays!

str, I have never been interested in politics either until around 5 years ago when I was forced to care. I am not a huge Trumper but much prefer him to anything Democrat/far left. I'm a white male and it got pretty old being called a racist, nazi, transphobic etc etc and them telling me how guilty and shameful I should be for the white power, white privilege, white supremacy yadda yadda yadda. Having our government and major news outlets shoving that down our throats for years got me to the point where I am against anyone that spouts that narrative.

Agree Jake. I’ve always been fairly moderate and at times I might have called myself a moderate democrat and in the middle. But I’m with you. The democrats really blew it with this crazy stuff they came up with.
I’m white, but only began to think I might be racist back when I went to high school in the hood in Wash. DC and got my pockets rifled when I rode the bus home late after sports practices or games. That got old real quick. But as soon as I went to work at 18 and a lot of the co workers were older black men, I quickly learned that the racism I was exposed to in the late 60’s - early 70’s was all bull crap. That’s not what it was.

So yeah, I’m with you. I do hate that millions of people will have health premiums become too costly but that affects every race. I am not at all for that. With all the money and deficit flying around, healthcare should not be unaffordable for any American.

It should not be this hard. It is not.

And like you said, radical arguments make me so sick. Somebody needs to tell both radical sides to shut the ———- up.

Thanks Jake.

Dwight, if we have to declare how bad others were in order to describe how good someone else is, what’s that say?
I applaud your conviction and you work hard here. But I see your answer as in the same tone that others scream from the rooftops about his opposition.
it’s why I have never enjoyed politics.


The American people do not share your sentiments Dwight. I know, polls are rigged.
“It’s all BS and it’s bad for you “was as true a quote as anyone ever said.
Tax cuts ? Tariffs? What silly arguments .Food prices are ridiculous. But that’s the thing, unless you see it yourself, people aren’t sure.

Gas prices which have been the same where I live for years now. Cmon man.

The movie American President unpacks a lot of this nonsense. “ People will drink the sand because they don’t know the difference “.

str, I have never been interested in politics either until around 5 years ago when I was forced to care. I am not a huge Trumper but much prefer him to anything Democrat/far left. I'm a white male and it got pretty old being called a racist, nazi, transphobic etc etc and them telling me how guilty and shameful I should be for the white power, white privilege, white supremacy yadda yadda yadda. Having our government and major news outlets shoving that down our throats for years got me to the point where I am against anyone that spouts that narrative.

You know that line about the devils greatest trick was to convince people he didn't exist?


Imagine if he could have convinced people to fight against their own right to equality... and have them somehow think they are being moral to do that?!

Imagine if he could have convinced people to cheer for death for anyone who dares to suggest military should act within the law?

Imagine if he could have convinced "god fearing non-criminal, non-mentally ill" types to make excuses to protect deep state minor sex traffickers?


It doesn't have to be this way. Half the population doesn't have to hate the other half simply due to who they vote for in most other countries. The devil has tricked the people.

Contact Paul McCartney, he might pay good money for those lyrics

good movie

you cant be talking about the Trump administration. Trump has brought back equality.

Imagine if he could have convinced people to cheer for death for anyone who dares to suggest military should act within the law?
the military is acting within the law. I suppose that you have dozens of example of them breaking the law. The fact is you don't even have one example.

Imagine if he could have convinced "god fearing non-criminal, non-mentally ill" types to make excuses to protect deep state minor sex traffickers?
no idea what that even means.

calling things like they are isn't hate. Hate is putting criminals and illegals ahead of your own citizens. Hate is spending billions in other countries while things need attention at home. You have it all backwards and are simply pushing a liberal narrative. Remember when the BBC was cause editing the J6 video? That's kinda what you seem to do.

Sadly, this thread falls right in line with politics as a whole. Questions are answered with questions. When one side points out something that is terribly wrong, the other side points out a problem about the first side instead of addressing the obvious problem.

Exactly what politics wants.

Meanwhile, follow the money. Both sides.

If the American public cannot agree that Biden was too old when he took office and his border decisions were awful and that Trump has used this 2nd term for himself, his family, and has no real interest in the lower or middle class, then all the American public is doing is seeing what they want to see. Or listening to a slanted news outlet that only tells half the story. The half that fits their narrative.
Using the comparison tactic between the two as to who is better or which party is better is a fools errand. Both have good points as well as terrible points.
How can citizens on both sides, if they are being honest with themselves, not know that?

And then we have "Donors". Yeah, that's what it is , a donation, a gift with nothing owed in return.

All one has to do is Google "Politics". It's all right there.

An insult to the publics intelligence. How sad.

Trump has given, and now extended the biggest tax cuts to all Americans. He has flown around the world making trillions in deals which many won't happen overnight as we all know, but they will soon. Like in 2026 when the economy will explode. US car company sales are up 7% already.

Removing people who are in the country illegally will increase wages for Americans. Sure, strawberry prices might increase. Maybe. Gas is the lowest its been in several years.

For decades the coast guard has fought a losing battle over drugs. Rather than continuing the same ineffective practice, Trump kills the narco terrorists. The dems of course will side with the drug smugglers.

Comparing Biden with Trump is silly. Trump has worked harder and done more than Biden and Obama combined. Both partied, for decades, were filled with incompetent crooks and emplty promises. The Swamp. Obama was useless and Auto-Pen was even worse.

There has never been an administration like this Trump presidency. The most transparent in history. There is nothing to compare it to. Who works harder and keeps more promises that Trump? Trump has brought back respect to the USA once again. The bad guys hate him of course. Shithole countries despise him. Trump has the balls to say out loud what many of us are thinking and saying.

The FBI has uncovered evidence Obama lied by pushing the Russian collusion hoax to the world. The just arrested the dude who plated pipe bombs on J5. You don't think the previous FBI knew who he was? The FBI is respected again and from within also.

Funny how they just discovered 1 billion in fraud in Minnesota and the MSM only care that Trump calls them out for it. Tampon Tim is upset at being called a retard and how Trump is calling these Somali crooks out, but a few months ago Walz called Immigration officers "gestapos".

Funny how all the Epstein stuff has gone away since the radical Left found out what the rest of us have been saying forever. Then they went immediately to Trump's MRI until he released the results. Every fukking day they make up more shit to only have it blow in their faces.

Trump is a modern day American hero. There has never been or likely will never be anyone like him again.

US President Donald Trump has floated that Democratic veterans deserve the death penalty for urging active military and intelligence officers disobey illegal orders.

The comments have been condemned as "chilling".

MAGA was quick to respond to the outrage by explaining it's all Joe Biden's fault and only radical Liberals would think Trump meant the words he said.

Obviously he didn't mean they deserved death when saying "their words cannot be allowed to stand" and are "punishable by DEATH". The liberal media and woke people are very dumb to think otherwise.



Or in other words... Just shut up, piggy!

Wow, look at that ... he may have dozed off then sat himself upright.

This is worse than encouraging 20 million illegals to waltz into the US and insisting they get full benefits.

Did any the woke brigade ever once call out Biden for being on vacation for 40% of his term or lost/napping for the other 60% of it? They also argued that Biden was so vibrant and showing no signs of decline...

As far as unvetted illegal immigration, we are seeing what happens with that in the US/UK and some other western countries where that is allowed. The UK is in utter shambles at the moment with Islamists running roughshod over the tax paying UK citizens. I'm all for legal immigration assuming that they are going to acclimate to the society/culture and contribute positively. They can kick rocks if they are just going to claim benefits and do nothing.
