Reply to comment by klauskervin in In rare rebuke, two retired War College professors say Doug Mastriano is unfit to be governor by BeltfedOne

> I fear the type of politics his supporters find acceptable

Conservatives love all the Nazi ideals, they just don't like the word "Nazi".

They also love to claim to be Christian while deliberately doing things Christ taught NOT to do.

This is standard Christian behavior. It's Christian to be un-Christian. I'm 48 and grew up in the church. Left burning bridges at 16-17.

I grew up in a church. Then in 20s began to think more for myself. Realized their political views were not lined up with Jesus teaching. Called people out for it. Got nothing but arguments and no one really listened despite pointing out obvious contradictions to what Jesus said. They pick and choose scripture and most of it isn't from Jesus because, let's face it, he was too liberal for them.

Seriously. If Jesus himself was running for office, they would put out attack ads against him.

Absolutely they would.

They'd call him a socialist lib with crazy new ideas and advocate violence against him. So, same as those who hated him in the Bible, but all while saying they worship him somehow.

They do. I remember reading someone somewhere saying Nazis only existed in Nazi Germany.

Lol.. and there it is. Sorry homie not everyone worships money. You know what's better than money? An even playing field where human rights are prioritized more than fucking money. There is going to be like 10 greedy assholes living on the moon while the rest of us try to live on a dying planet.

I don't even know why he brought up Joe Biden or 401k's in a thread about Nazi Mastriano running for governor who will have absolutely 0 influence on 401k's or the stock market.

Going just fine thank you. Looking at the same age to retire. At least I dont have to worry about Joe bending over and spreading his cheeks for a dictator.

Eh, it's down about 10k cause the market's down (which is about average to what Fidelity is reporting). I'm not retiring this year - I have a solid 25 years for that yet. I also plan to part-time teach adjunct when I retire for extra income and I have Index Funds for my slush money, so my 401k isn't my biggest concern. It's still higher than it was in 2020 during Trump's flub of Covid.

Even you're on the verge of retirement, your 401K shouldn't really dictate voting a literal Nazi into the governor's office. Doug Mastriano will have 0 influence on the stock market and my 401k. Why are you even bringing this or Joe Biden up? Biden isn't running for PA governor.

You know what is a concern? Helping my kids pay for college, which "uncle Joe" is helping out on. So fuck off, Boomer.

It's ok. And I certainly prefer not having fascists in control.
