I agree completely. I’ve spent my whole life adhering to the concept of never saying anything you wouldn’t dare say to someone’s face. Being a coward is in no way honorable. Don’t be a child-either “man up” or shut up.
@samanthalacroix2687 As the saying goes "Write what you know", and as we've seen from news stories, most MAGAs live with their Parents or Grandparents, literally IN THE BASEMENT. Look at Nick Fuentes, the "White Supremacist Incel" who thinks sex with a woman would be "gay", he lives with his Mom.
LOL, so true. This is why l have what l call " Faces l want to Punch " list which includes the likes of Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfileld just to name a few. Thry talk plenty of ish about people without ever worrying about getting " adressed" for it.
Most people can benefit from therapy, it's a good thing, but the people that need it the most are the ones that blow a gasket whenever we say we should be good to each other LOL
They have nothing, so they resort to name-calling and ad hominem attacks. We're not exactly guiltless there (or, at least, I'm not), but that's not our go-to.
Accusing anyone who disagrees with you as having been abused as a child is certainly the most _convoluted_ way I've ever heard a conservative self report for hating children, but its transparency is second only to not wanting children to have free lunch.
People in glass houses? Really? Let me break this down for you: Tom calling out vile, disgusting, hateful behavior isn’t hypocrisy-it’s holding people accountable. But nice try projecting your own lack of integrity onto others. Every time you point a finger to deflect from the truth, it just shows your desperation to defend the indefensible. Maybe instead of spewing empty platitudes, you should focus on fixing your own reflection before coming for someone like Tom, who actually stands for something. Sit down!
@@MicheleJones-z3d Funny how fragile we've become. I didn't read Tracy's comment the way you did (as an accusation directed at Tom)-I read it as a general comment on human behaviour. One of us is correct in our interpretation of Tracy's comment, the other is not-I wager it is YOU who misinterpreted the comment. I suggest you try being less easily triggered-young-pup that, by the age of your account on this platform, I can only infer you are (I could be wrong). I know it can be difficult to interpret intent/intonation of an author's written word at times-as opposed to hearing it being spoken, and inferring the intent of the orator by the intonation of their voice-but do try not to be so fragile and quick to respond if there could be the slightest doubt, your interpretation is not in keeping with the author's intent, least you make a fool of yourself.
@@MelioraCogito thank you 😀 I was talking about the person that wrote the comment and in general those that point fingers as an 'its not me' but point at others for their faults..
@@MicheleJones-z3d really, fragile much!! If you read the comment you would know its a generalisation of human behaviour. Everytime someone points a finger at someo e else they have 3 pointing right back at their behaviour. It was nothing to do with Tom as I agree with 95% of what he says. I will guarantee Tom read it the way it was meant.
Even if they were all true, they don't pack much punch as insults. The current housing market and abysmal minimum wage excuse mom's basement, being a child abuse survivor is not a mark against the victim, duh a child abuse survivor is in therapy, caffeine makes the majority of people in the US minor drug users and that's before alcohol, nicotine or prescribed meds, and there's nothing wrong with piercings. Anon's insults to end the argument are just as weak as the thought processes that drove him to fall back on insults in the first place.
What you are saying is so on point. There are so many people who hide behind their keyboard knowing that they will not face any consequences. I have felt with those people a great deal. which they like to hid behind a screen name and not showing their faces. They say terrible things and when they get called out for their lies they attack the one who is calling them out.
They probably are in thier moms basement had a few dui's, been fired from several jobs, poor education, no ged, disrespectful to other humans, receiving some kind of benefit from the government and poor dental health. yes I have chosen to go low for a while until I feel better😊
Been my experience online people use self descriptors as insults to others. As in using "kid" as an insult is something a child does. Idiots call people stupid. People questioning their preferences will use the derogatory term for homosexual quite often, and so on.
More good ol MAGA - 101. The part that concerns me is my experience with these types is they most often project their fears and shortcomings Ont🎉and o those they attack, so the "touched by a relative as a child" is really concerning.
I’m liberal, married, rent our own house, I’m a volunteer firefighter/EMT, and I have six piercings-three in each earlobe, to be precise. And one of our kids is a college graduate who is planning to pursue her academic studies until she achieves her doctorate, while the other is planning to attend college to pursue her degree in veterinary sciences and care for animals. What does this poster do that’s so great? Probably not a lot if they’ve got the time to spew ignorance, insults, and hate!
So whomever this is turns to insults because they are literally NOT intelligent enough to debate?..... Or they are totally wrong & hollering like a hit dog?...... Sounds like the hit dog thing to me
I would point out that said conservative is very likely engaging in an ad hominem and/or straw man logical fallacy, but I doubt they would know what those are or even care.
im a progressive...... grew up on farm. didnt have a basement wasnt SA'd as a child (or an adult) dont have any piercings i've never drank alcohol i've never taken recreational drugs in fact, the only vice i have is sugar; i have a mean sweet tooth i did get into a lot of trouble as a child/teen, but eventually grew out of that. im a normal joe that despite having a daily mantra of "i hate people", still care about political policies that help me and my fellow americans have better lives.....ALL of my fellow americans, even the ones that i hate with a passion
That is what they do. When they start knowing that you're about to shut down a conversation. They will pick anything out of your profile and start trying to egg you and your lifestyle. I'm a gamer. He projected the lifestyle of an "extreme" gamer. MAGA Ego won't allow them to take a "L" . They'll try to take a "W" even if it means criticizing your life. In my case he chose my hobby. Be careful folks
The commenter was probably touched by a pastor or priest but never had the guts to leave their religion or their conservativism behind. They're projecting quite loudly.
Wait. Sorry. Was any of that supposed to be insulting? “Piercings?” Is that supposed to be an insult? I have precisely five - two in each ear and one in my nose. “Accusing” a person of having piercings…like, huh?? “Minor drug use”…yeah?? And?? We talk about green beans on this channel all the time. It’s not immoral, so why would it be any kind of accusation? And finally, the big one: Let’s say the person they’re commenting to was “touched by a relative as a child”. Whose fault would that be? The child who was molested? Are we using a predator’s actions to insult the victim of that predator?? Really? I don’t even know anymore. 🤦🏻♀️
I bet these people have no issue with steroid use & tattoos tho. Everything they have is about punching down. They have to make others feel bad because they are incapable of making themselves (feel) better.
I support free speech, but it's worth considering that the Founding Fathers likely didn't anticipate the scale and anonymity of today's internet. While scale itself may not be an issue, anonymity introduces complexities they couldn't have foreseen. In the 1700s, anonymous speech had limited reach; even with a pseudonym, authors like Mark Twain were often known within certain circles. Today, complete anonymity allows ideas to spread globally, often without accountability. Anonymity is the antithesis of a citation-it provides no traceable source or accountability. One potential solution is to emphasize education: teaching people to critically evaluate anonymous speech and prioritize information with credible sources. If the identity of a speaker isn’t known, we should generally view their claims skeptically or dismiss them outright unless corroborated by reliable evidence. This approach could encourage accountability and informed discourse while preserving the principle of free speech.
What’s the state’s obsession with being liberal or conservative? I mean it, I’m a Canadian and have voted all top 4 parties at one point or another. Why don’t the people vote for what’s best for themselves. All parties have good and bad so instead of voting one way every time try doing research from BOTH sides and then make a decision.
The two party political system in the US has become so polarized that the only viable options we have are conservative or liberal. It’s certainly not helped by people, especially religious conservatives, being raised on the idea that “their side” and beliefs are the only right ones and everyone else is going to cause the downfall of the US. Add ultra rich people and politicians throwing millions of dollars around for propaganda and misinformation m, again mostly on the conservative side, and we now have our shitshow of a political system where so many people are convinced it’s “us against them” while those ultra wealthy people are making bank off it.
Wtf is the whole "touched as a child" thing being used as an insult? I thought they were against that? Or was the whole "Save the Children" thing bullshit? Oh, right..
Old man, your not in the basement, you have a couple of windows behind you…. But, the rest is not to far off…. On another note, isn’t it just amazing how safe you feel when you see and hear Mazie Hirono question the nominees for confirmation. She is Brilliant!!!! Hahaha. It is my job to ask these questions for my constituents….. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop???? Ma’am not what we are here to discuss, GOT you, it takes three licks!!!!! Just brilliant….. you should all be proud in Hawaii
Anonymity creates false courage, it’s cowardly.
True that.
Anonymity is a cowards best friend
I agree completely. I’ve spent my whole life adhering to the concept of never saying anything you wouldn’t dare say to someone’s face. Being a coward is in no way honorable. Don’t be a child-either “man up” or shut up.
@kirstenlandon3043 and that's an insult to children who are way more honest and courageous. 😅
When "Deliverance " meets "Idiocracy ".....you get a trump supporter....
No because in idiocracy they finally leather smartest person lead
At least in Idiocracy they were open to learning and weren’t in a cult, so they were technically smarter than the average MAGAt 😂
Your right...I forgot...
What is their fascination with a mother's basement?
THeir mother is also their aunt.
The same fascination with "daddy Trump"
They're describing their own InCel lives.
@samanthalacroix2687 As the saying goes "Write what you know", and as we've seen from news stories, most MAGAs live with their Parents or Grandparents, literally IN THE BASEMENT. Look at Nick Fuentes, the "White Supremacist Incel" who thinks sex with a woman would be "gay", he lives with his Mom.
Trying to make themselves feel better about their own situation.

Totally. These are the assholes who have benefited from the lack of schoolyard fights that taught you humility.
One of my favorite quotes from anyone anywhere.
LOL, so true. This is why l have what l call " Faces l want to Punch " list which includes the likes of Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfileld just to name a few. Thry talk plenty of ish about people without ever worrying about getting " adressed" for it.
Amen to that!
I like that quote as well.
He's just mad the gold paint on his tRump Chinese shoes wore off.
That's funny
Lmao and his cheap Trump "gold" watch Lmao
For Repubs, "The Cruelty Is The Point".
"The Cruelty Is The Point" is an extremely relevant book of essays by Adam Serwer about the trump era.
Never has the phrase 'For MAGA, every accusation is a confession' been more true.
Most people can benefit from therapy, it's a good thing, but the people that need it the most are the ones that blow a gasket whenever we say we should be good to each other LOL
The insults are because of fear of being out argued.
Destroy their stability by being disgusting, and it removes the need to break their argument.
They have nothing, so they resort to name-calling and ad hominem attacks. We're not exactly guiltless there (or, at least, I'm not), but that's not our go-to.
When people think being in therapy is an insult, they need therapy lol... my therapist is more just a friend i vent to than a doctor lol
Accusing anyone who disagrees with you as having been abused as a child is certainly the most _convoluted_ way I've ever heard a conservative self report for hating children, but its transparency is second only to not wanting children to have free lunch.
What exactly that achieves in context of the conversation is rather lost on me though.
These people wouldn't have the guts to say this to someone's face. They feel emboldened because they can type this garbage and not face backlash.
That's exactly what they do ..most of them couldn't fight there way bout of a paper bag 😂
Hey, they used the right You're!
Well, at least the commenter surpassed ONE of my (lowest) expectations 😂
These basement accusations make me laugh. I guess they ignore the 2 full sized windows like they ignore reality.
Also aren’t liberals also the more educated? Meaning they have higher paying jobs?
Don't forget what Tom said at the beginning of the video. This comment was not aiming Tom himself, but somebody else.
To be fair, there's Mr Fuentes, evidence of telling on themselves.
These are exactly the people I do not want to be united with.
Every time you point a finger there are 3 pointing right back at you.. People in glass houses should keep their damn mouth shut!!
