My Life As A Republican

[Anomalocaris]

Nihilist believe it is pointless to be sensible because all are ultimately meaningless.   Absurdists don’t know what is pointless, but does resent those who do and, out of spite, says and does the opposite of what those others would.

People don't deserve not to be contradicted.

Not wrong at all. Doing things just to do them is fine, but doing things for moral reasons has a way of putting purpose into what you're doing. More purpose is always better.

Ted Bundy had purpose.

I was a Republican, then a Libertarian, now a progressive-leaning moderate Democrat. The last time I voted for a Republican for president was Bob Dole. The last time I voted for a Libertarian for president was 2016. I've never been much of a weed smoker or booze drinker. I'm getting too old to flirt with girls, and my partner doesn't like it anyway.

Confession time, I'm a republican.

Oh yeah baby! Work that border poll action!

I was. Gave up on when I finally admitted to myself that it was a lost cause (at least in my lifetime).

You're young yet. I reckon the border poll will be called some time in the 2030's.

For most of my life, I was a Democrat, but 10 years ago, something happened, that made me want to be a Republican. I won't say what that event was, but it changed my character in a significant way. So I've been a Republican for the last 10 years, and it's made me a lot less innocent. Before I turned Republican, I smoked weed as much as I could, and flirted with girls. I didn't watch much Netflix. I used to rap. But that all changed. After the incident 10 years ago, I became an alcoholic, drinking mostly beer, and some liquor. That lasted for about a year and a half. I tried getting into weed again, but that ended up being a poor decision. I started watching a lot of Netflix, mainly because I was always so bored. My paranoia and anxiety was at an all time high. I'm medicated now and doing much better. Still a Republican.

I thought you were still only 19? That's the impression you've been giving in your various posts to date anyway.

You should try much harder to keep your stories straight.

Keeping stories straight is for people who think anything matters.

12 years older than you, lad. 

And it doesn’t matter when the border poll is called, because the re-unifiers are going to lose, and lose big. With the NI population roughly split between Catholics and Protestants and more than 40% of Catholics preferring to stay in the UK or undecided, the re-unifiers are finished before they start.

I’m confident in predicting that the re-unification of Ireland will be celebrated by massive flocks of swine, soaring majestically through the skies above Belfast.
