    do you believe that elon did the nazi salute?

    I have the feeling that if someone says yes, that means they just go along wit
    everyone else, but if they say no, they're thinking for themselves (not just going along with everyone else who says no).

    Sounds a lot like you fully understand how the FIDO Politics echo works.

    Go along with everything Trump, Tucker, etc., tell you = "thinking for yourself."

    Question anything they tell you = "you can't think for yourself."

    Pretty sure questioning things, no matter who says them, is a sign of thinking for yourself.

    Administrations who come in looking for it are often looking to add their own versions of waste, fraud, and abuse, and they will also misidentify a lot of things.

    Adding your own version <> eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse.

    The administration in question campaigned on being "something totally different" but were only really different in which political party backed
    them.

    During his first term, I did believe that Trump was different (and in a good way). Now that he's been President, and now that he's shown us what
    happens when he looses, I do not believe he is any different than any other politician. Trump is quite capable of being as crooked as the rest... different type of crooked, maybe, but just as capable nonetheless.

    Ultimately, the politicians who make it to our national stage are all about winning, and very little about representing.

    some people only see what they want or hear what they want.

    people who believe this nazi salute shit are nuts. i should have
    started off with that question. infact, good to start off with it when communicating with any liberal.

    especially when the guy said his heart goes out to you and does that gesture.

    i admit he's a weirdo but saying he's doing nazi salutes is fucking retarded. ---

    well he just got in. he hasn't been there that long. he's trying to eliminate wasteful spending so far. i think that's a good thing.

    keep your eyes on the executive orders.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/data-graphics/tracking-trumps-executive-orders-rcna189571

    now in regards to this:

    ""Ends all diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility programs, policies and mandates across the federal government, revising union contracts and employment practices to end them, as well. It also directs the government to terminate all positions related to DEI."

    as a former federal employee i know in some respects these employees get a different oftentimes less benefitial protection and enforcement of their rights. eliminating these policies and programs will put these workers on a level playing field with the rest of the public. this is a restoration of rights.

    and i'm all for getting people with gender identity disorder out of the military. they are mentally ill and need to get help.

    I don't see anything bad in his executive orders.
    and these orders are CERTAINLY different than any democrat or republican would have enforced.

    Overall it is a good thing. I hope they have included people beyond Elon
    when it comes to the decision making, though. Elon's group will need guidance, even if they don't believe they do.

    he has to have a party back him. do you think someone in the green party or a
    made up party could get elected as president.

    Unfortunately, our system is rigged to make sure that only the Republicans
    and Democrats can really field viable candidates in most states.

    I don't have issues overall with this order. I do have some issues with the misinterpretations of it, especially in the military, but those seem to be getting fixed.

    and i'm all for getting people with gender identity disorder out of the military. they are mentally ill and need to get help.

    Some of them are as they have something going on beyond a gender identity disorder. People who genuinely have that are usually more understanding of
    the reservations of others. The ones who are adamant about access to other people's children, etc., likely have other undiagnosed/untreated issues going on. As you say, they need help that they are not getting.

    While I don't believe we the people necessarily have all the details, I was
    not speaking in terms of any grand conspiracy by our government re: 9/11.
    My skepticism comes more from things that happened after, like the multiple extensions of the Patriot Act and other measures that allow the government
    to do more snooping into everyday citizens' lives.

    And also in the way that politics, and the progress of our country, changed after that point.

    it's easy to say some. you can find one person in the world who would be okay with anything.

    I don't know. I suspect it would be like wanting a horse and having to settle for horse figurines. Substitutes help you get going up to a point but deep down you know you are not getting the real thing. Living on substitutes causes an emotional vacuum.

    TBH I find it very revealing that every sort of disphoria is classified as a psychiatric condition but, somehow, gender disphoria isn't. Plus, people who has acute body disphoria does not get "transitioned" (ie. somebody who claims his arm is not his does not get his arm amputated).

    the problem is psychologists,etc don't want to get in trouble for saying no. not only THAT, but they don't care half the time.

    adults don't understand the concept. there are trans people crying about having their penises chopped off and their man made vagina smelling like poop and complaints about stretching the man made vag. Gender identity disorder is a mental illness and these people need help instead of having their ideas entertained.
