This is what does it for me. I point to Jan 6th as the biggest watershed moment. I mean, how could anybody vote for him after that? AND... there are hundreds of smaller moments that should have doomed the movement forever. It didn't happen, and it didn't happen because these people we want to see as decent and smart just are not. They are either gullible to the point of stupidity or apathetic to the point of being horrible.

Any attempt we make at trying to explain their choices is us just hoping that they could be good people because we care about them more than they care about us. Chances are they are going to let us down.

 

Best post ive seen in a loooong time

but it like Michael McCaul said on Face the Nation this weekend..

He says Republicans will vote for the bill because "they know that their jobs are at risk, not just from the president, but from … the American people, our base back home, will not reelect us to office if we vote no on this."

The merits or demerits of the bill are irrelevant, the politics say vote yes or get primary-ed.

Just get past the primary, and then coast to the general in their gerrymandered district.

It's fucked.

It's almost cliche to say at this point, but it really is remarkable how the Republicans seem to be governing with no concern towards electoral ramifications.

oh, but they are... primary elections. see post above.

And then their constituents take it right in the ass, but by the time election season rolls around, they've been inundated so much by Fox News that Dems are the Debil that they forget the pain Dear Leader(s) caused and they again yank that R lever like they are starting a mower.

I think that analysis is backward, though. When it was mostly meathead and/or incel shit it wasn't serious. It was the buy in and promotion from the mainstream media that gave the backlash legitimacy in the eyes of much of the public.

There's a reason that conservative activists are always trying to get the New York Times to cover issues, and not just to cover them but to frame their coverage in a particular way. Steve Bannon, Chris Rufo, etc. understand the legitimizing impact that has for their propaganda well beyond the number of people who actually read the Times.  For this, the elite media circles didn't even need to be pushed, they sprinted to endorse the backlash.  

That may be how the infection spread to older losers, and it may be how many of us recognize this part of the disease, but the youngs don't care about the NYT. They doomscroll and listen to podcasts.

If Me Too is really the watershed moment, and it may be, I would see it akin to Reagan bringing the fundagelicals in from the political cold and giving them a permanent seat in the GOP boardroom. Millions of folks who were itching to make their backwards views a part of public life and discourse weren't radicalzied by Reagan, they were already there. Social media and bro-casters and others gave losers community, Me Too might just have shone a light on it and helped shitgibbon and co. bring them into the fold.

If you elect me, I will send this cunt to the men's prison in El Salvador.  Everyone knows that hair style is what Vikings used when they raided Lindisfarne.

In your letter you said you didn't love me
You said you're gonna leave me
But you could've said it better
Oh in your letter, you said you couldn't face me
You said you could replace me
But you could've said it better

The people still saying "the Trump supporters I'm thinking of are decent people, not racists" misunderstand racism. They think racist and they think someone in a Klan outfit. That's not how racism manifests itself for most people, though. It's more subtle than that. 

Absolutely this.  There is RACIST and there is racist.  Trump voters may not be 100% RACIST, but they are absolutely 100% racist at a minimum.

Worth pointing out that Japanese think American rice is trash, such that they might stop buying rice at all rather than buy American.

https://apnews.com/article/japan-rice-explainer-shortages-rising-prices-agriculture-6e21bc9017c8f6d8c0a1f179e50e975f

Japanese imported nearly 300 million dollars worth of rice in 2024.

Maybe, in a country that eats a lot of rice, that is nearly nothing, as it is less than three bucks of rice per person.

Again...if you submitted a script/book idea with an exact, unembellished description of this timeline 20 years ago, you would have been ushered out of every possible room as being clearly insane and quite likely a danger to yourself or others.

A merry Christmas from him in June. 
 

anyway, now at least I’ll smell good when I flip my trump tie over my shoulder so I don’t get catsup on it while enjoying my trump steak and trump red wine, while in my comfortable trump high tops- before capturing this memory on my trump one phone and posting it to my truth account for cred.

Idea- have him be one of the sharks on shark tank next to his buddy Kevin and the qvc doll and I’d say Cuban but Donald is too chickenshit to do that so arod. 
 

and if he won’t do it as 1 of 4, let him be by himself on a golden throne.   I’d love to see what he says about the businesses, what he offers, the people that decide to pitch him and what they are selling.  Trump tank.

Fake news, he has no need for those as he doesn’t read

Press release in the near future:  I, President Donald j trump’s lifelong optometrist, can confirm that president trump has really great vision- much better vision than anyone else ever really. It is so good, in fact, that it has been compared to that big, beautiful bird the bald eagle. This extraordinary sense of vision makes others uncomfortable, so we have crafted special glasses to reduce president trump’s vision back to that of a mortal human person.  Thank you for your attention in this private medical matter. 
- Dr. Michael Michealson, MD.
