In 2016, I won't lie, I was in support of trump winning, and the underlying motivations were:
1. I believed that trump would stop US involvement in the middle east, to stop killing Muslims.
2. I believed trump would punish gay people or reverse gay marriage rights in the US.

I was 19, and my thoughts on these were based of my religious beliefs at the time. I also considered myself a "moderate" Northern Muslim.

Among the 2 reasons given, I cared about number 2 more than 1. Why was I homophobic?
Just a gut disgust to the idea of 2 men being intimate.
Why did I care what people did in private?
Religious rational was, that if it's allowed then there will be sometype of vague corruption in the world. What was this corruption? I don't know, I didn't think that far.
And also That God would get angry and punish us with natural disasters and other vague punishments like bad government and economy, if allowed.

I don't know what it is but, bigotry blinds you and r*tards you.

Took me discovering NL & agruing in the religious section with atheists & christians on here, forcing me to start attempting to make rational arguments for my beliefs to start noticing holes in the logic of my previous religious bigotry, before I had to reevaluate things.

I assume a lot of Nigerian are operating on some similar logic, and that's informing their reason for supporting trump.

I hope you're free from the chains of religion?

You enrolled in Nairaland University (the religious section) and learnt to use your brain.

Personally, that section is where everyone should start their Nairaland adventure.

Sorry, this is a lie from the pit of hell.

All education makes you smarter.
Why stop at college, let's reduce your argument to high school, middle school or elementary school.
Are most people with no formal education smarter than those with?

I went to one of the top high schools in the US.
I thought I knew everything and no one could tell me anything.
It wasn't until I went to College that I learned, there was a lot I didn't know.
Greater than that, there was a lot of perspective I didn't have.

Billionaires may have not used what they learned in school, but the way they were thought to think and the relationships they built with a group of diverse people I'm sure made them smarter which helped them make more money.
You are actually making my point for me. If I decide not to go into college debt and maybe learn everything I need to learn for free to study computer science and become perfect in it - you still think I'm dumber than someone who studied it in college?😂 Wtf are u saying?
If a billionaire surrounds himself with college folks who make him money and he pays their salaries like how most colleges tell you is the default- he's still not smarter than they are?🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ Where did this fckin logic come from?😂 Is that what they taught you in college?

You actually think going to college helps you make better decisions and those who don't make stupid decisions because they didn't pay for lectures in a classroom? You actually can't see how condescending and hilariously stupid your notion is.

You really think a father would make more poor decisions in the quality of life he wants for his kids and family simply because he doesn't have a paper degree and didn't pay someone to teach him something he would never use 98% of the time 🤦🏾‍♂️
You guys actually leave in a tiny bubble

Questioning religion as a teenager led me to the religion section of Nairaland.

I think anyone who is agnostic/ atheist in Nigeria has a higher IQ than most of the country's population.

I'm Agnostic Atheist.

Started questioning things as a teenager. I'd go on social media platforms and argue for hours against religion. I hated it back then.

Now, I'm indifferent. No arguments with theists. I just want money, a blissful career and a sweet girl.

I would advise against it, that place drained me of mental energy, I have never recovered to this day. Why I left it.

I only benefited from interacting with a few individuals that were engaging in good faith, and not trowing insults left and right. If not for them, I can imagine my brain being fragged to soup, from the hate, and idiocy there, resulting in my adopting more extremist, conspiratorial views or just being full of spite, now.
I can see some monikers I recognize suffering from this over there.

but you know nothing. so fk of while the adults who have actual knowledge of history are talking.

man child who thinks life is about trolling and owning the libs in actual matters of life, death and freedom



bemurca the beta cuck who cannot make a coherent post on his own. still looking for support. small boy .

we all witnessed 4 years of trump so we know exactly what is coming.

Your hero macron is a back stabbing sellout.
The warm atmosphere of French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to China disappointed Washington, which had hoped that the visit, accompanied by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, would be less about cooperation than about putting pressure on China.

As the newspaper notes, at the end of the visit, Macron tweeted in three languages - French, Chinese and English - "Long live the friendship between France and China!", which is undoubtedly a blow to the US strategy to attract the West to contain China.

Global Times writes that Macron has recruited more than 50 entrepreneurs to sign a large number of contracts with Chinese partners, which is no different from bringing bilateral economic and trade cooperation back to the fore in defining Sino-French relations.

It can be said that France took the lead in reversing the US containment strategy and said no with its actions. - Sprinter

I would advise for it. One of the lessons learnt is to not let one be dragged into hate and idiocy, along with not letting one adopt the non-use of ones own mind.

Such lessons benefit one in these type of threads after one has learnt to ignore those who are here to drain one's energy.

Nice graph for Raumdeuter who believe feelings are better than Economic Data.
Groceries are as affordable now as during Trump's presidency before Covid.
Prices went up but so did wages.

What's wild is even during the peak of inflation, groceries were more affordable than they were during the 1st 2 years of Trump's presidency.

Stop wasting your time with these stupid graphs. The economy was #1 and illegal migrations was #2

Trump supporters reject facts.
That's why more people without college educations voted for him.
Ask them how tariffs work and their minds will probably blow up.

We're living in an idiocracy and you're one of the governors.
