Hotter, Badder, and Unpopularer Takes

I support the Syrian Government.

Trump's obvious atheism is what gives me the most pause about my likely vote for him in 2020. A person with as much power as the US President needs to feel accountability to something greater than themselves.

Trump's atheism actually makes me a lot more inclined to vote for him.

The power to pardon people should be vested in a single nonpartisan and nonpolitical elected official separated from all other powers and duties to bring the purpose of pardons back to its constitutionally intended method.

This sounds like a great idea.

Trump should be impeached. (As a republican)

You believe he's obstructed justice/colluded with Russia?

His campaign definitely took help from Russia, but Russia did not actually rig the election. Still, such should be an impeachable offence, let alone the obvious obstruction of justice, and it's sad that we have reached such partisanship as a country and as a party that freaking Justin Amash is the only one with the balls to speak the truth. I could care less about further "polarization", a crime is a crime and just because I agree with the president on policy doesn't mean I think he's a crook.

Probably not that hot of a take, but Atlas has considerably moved to the right in recent years. Anybody who's still calling Atlas a "liberal echochamber" unironically in 2019 needs to get a grip.

It's still a leftist dominated site, but I will say we have been seeing more right wing posters here over the past few months. Hopefully we can get a balance here someday, which I don't think we have had since like 2007.

The Republican Party should stop trying to mimic previous moderation, and should try to mimic European style populism.

Maybe they “should.”  Hope to God they don’t (continue to get worse).

You mean better? Because without Trump, we can finally, freely go full right wing populism.

Trump is what's stopping that? WTF I love Trump now

Yes. He’s a shill of the establishment and foreign powers.

It’s all surface-deep with you types, isn’t it?

Explain?

There is nothing hypocritical about speaking out against Trump’s behavior and rhetoric while voting with him 90% of the time on policy

Spitting straight facts right here.

[Grassroots]

Meritocracy should be a core principle of the US government and should actually be fully applied.

[Grassroots]

Iceland's policy on downs syndrome should be applied elsewhere.

[Grassroots]

Entitlements should be cut to make way for a universal employment program.

[Grassroots]

In the post Trump era, the GOP should fully embrace European style right-wing politics.

[Grassroots]

The US shouldn't be funding any foreign power. At all.

[Grassroots]

Shoes and socks are overrated and overused.

For women only, I agree.

Pixar has fallen off, it really has. Not only with the caliber of animation, but with the plots and material as well. Originally making films about objects finding their place in life, or standing up to oppression, they have changed it to really deep mental sh*t and plots that are overtly basic and cliche ridden.

We should nationalize the boy scouts and make it boys only once again. Not to mention getting it up from 2 million to the 6 million members it once had.

I'm more left wing on economic issues than the typical conservative, this shouldn't be a shocker.

The 2020 presidential election is over. Best we can do now is show up and vote for downballot races in the hopes that we're not absolutely annihilated.

You realize Biden benefits downballot races and increases dems chances of winning, right?

Ohhhh, I forgot you are a Sanders supporter and you deny reality. Got it.

In honor of International Women's Day, I'd like to say this again:

Modern feminism is horrible, evil, and has no place in modern America. While there was always an evil side of feminism (there is an evil side of every idealolgy), the evil side of feminism has completely taken over.

I bet feminist mothers abuse their sons regularly.

(Also, would "every ideology has an evil variant" qualify for this thread?)

Well-bad is right for this one

No it's not.

Occasional mass suffering, such as pandemics, war, natural disasters, and unrest, is needed to maintain a civilized and functioning society.

America should have a two round system like France, with a jungle primary then a two-way runoff.

The Coronavirus Pandemic has helped Ron DeSantis a lot more than it hurt him. He is now stronger as a candidate in 2024 because of it.
