getting a Mitch COnnell to stand for 15 minutes would have already made a difference.

Thank you!

“Soros and far left liberals poured millions into Louisiana with propaganda and outright lies about Amendment 2,” Landry said.

Besides being horseshit, these assholes hadn’t realized how the goal posts had moved. Soros would have to literally offer millions of dollars for votes to be comparable to present-day musky conservative business.

Maybe Russia’s actions aren’t directed by logic.

They are, just not the kind of logic that considers human lives valuable.

Every time you consider that not holding your opinion is “objectively stupid” you should stop a moment to reflect what those words mean.

Thanks, but I’m past elementary school and not here to explain the difference between calling out a direct opposition between stated goals and actual actions, vs “my opinion is the only objective truth”.

Your whole post is incredibly naive.

My European perspective is that defending corporate right as an alternative to fascism is an acceptable emergency measure while there are big credible efforts for large scale reforms to at least have a real left voting option, but it’s not by far a solution to the problem. And if you want that common platform to be the democrats, they will have to change a lot.

Like centuries of bipartisanism will be magically turned into a Euro-style multiparty coalition system in 3.8 years.

It’s just fucking absurd that people can be beat up and tortured physically and psychologically but I’m being asked to be less mean because it will hurt feewings.

I consider enabling the “stick” to be beat the fuck out of you just because you’re “not into carrots” to be objectively stupid. I’m a Euro transplant and I can’t see how it is less stupid from a European perspective. The saddest part is that my wife and I have recession-proof professions, people who got us into this situation don’t.

Remember when he said, “24 hours after he’d be president, he’d have peace?”

That’s part of a desensitization strategy where trumpy makes outlandish claims nobody takes seriously so if he manages to deliver on a single one out of hundreds of such, he’s celebrated as a visionary. So republicans are measured by their successes and Democrats are measured by their failures, no matter how low those rates may be for each.

to all the American leftists useless idiots who refused to vote against trump

FTFY. Voting against trumpy was the easiest decision for anybody who opposes fascism.

Can’t wait to see his reaction when robotaxis will get Wile E. Coyoted.

My favorite bullshit from the MAGAs had been “this is not a democracy, it’s a republic”.

It used to be both, now it aspires to be neither.

“Orbiting vintage space equipment “

They’re effectively the illuminati conspiracy theorists have been trying to find for many years now.

This is spot on.

Time to look into purchasing Swedish National Bonds, 'cause those Grippens will be grippin.

Dr Shafiq’s case was a great example of how one should (not) to deal with MAGA. She literally did everything the GOP demanded of her. Then Mike Johnson still went on to demand her resignation. She called cops on students (HUGE mistake), fueled the flames of nationwide protests… Yet she ended up resigning. In contrast Dr Claudine Gay did not budge so she was academically assassinated and then they made her resign. UPenn’s president Dr Liz Magill was pressured to resign too. Which is telling how the free speech absolutist party suddenly uniformly got 3 ivy league university presidents resign/removed regardless of them doing what was demanded or not.

And this is what will lead to the demise of trumpism: they make resistance way more worthwhile than compliance.

now this is art!
