Republican voters say the exact same things about Republican politicians.
They constantly talk about how conservative shitbags that waffled on this one thing are RINOs.
They make up conspiracies where Democrats are stopping their preferred solution even when Republicans control every branch of government.
They just have the votes.
It’s not understanding, it’s blind faith.
I don’t see anything weird about this. Sounds like parenting.
I’m not embracing accelerationism.
I’m just done coddling adult babies. Grow up and take some responsibility and I will keep my mouth shut about your past.
Wealth is actually being redistributed quite a bit in Russia right now. The oligarchs are paying for the war and “the people” are getting much higher wages either in the military or because of labor shortages.
It’s not great, what with all the death and destruction. But Russians gini coefficient is going down fast.
We tried protecting them from their bigotry and ignorance for decades. Time to find out motherfuckers.
Yeah want to shake these people. They could deport YOU! your wife! Your CHILD! To a torture prison in the jungle! You don’t know if any of these people are criminals! You don’t know if they are citizens! You don’t know! They haven’t seen a judge! How would anyone know?
THEY CAN PUT YOU IN A VAN TOMORROW AND SHAVE YOUR HEAD IN CECOT THE DAY AFTER THAT!
They could send you to Syria. South Sudan, some other black site. No one would stop them.
Trump wants mass deportations and he is getting mass deportations. I don’t think he cares if they pick up a few white people to pad the numbers a bit.
What would happen to them if they say birthright citizenship is not a thing,? If it only applied to former slaves? Or just offer no explanation whatsoever?
They could write an opinion that says “because Trump said so.” And I don’t think they would face impeachment, even a little bit.
This is the second most likely outcome. The most likely is be is full of shit. I’m all for siphoning off the votes of the gullible.
Dems won’t do shit to make people’s lives better but they won’t open up concentration camps and will mostly leave trans people alone.
Unless the dinosaurs talking shit about Mamdani and AOC are brought to heel.
Liberals hate musk and won’t vote for his party. Split the stupid vote and watch Dems win unwinnable races. If he pulls that off for 2 election cycles you might even see Republicans go in on ranked choice voting.
It’s changing back. Trump is quietly re-aligning the US with Russia.
I met my wife on OK cupid. 8 years ago though.
If you want to kill a whole lot of people, your police will suffer and eventually quit if you just have the execute people en mass. This happened to the Nazis and it’s the prime reason the gas chambers were constructed.
The police need to feel like they are doing the right thing.
The realistic hope I think is that Cuomo had support from extremely wealthy backers. New York Real Estate and Wall Street, Bloomberg, all backed Cuomo.
The people said no. The money didn’t swing it for Cuomo. The name recognition and the money didn’t swing it for Cuomo. The dynasties didn’t swing it for Cuomo.
Mamdani came in and offered real improvements to people’s lives and they gave him their votes.
Dems did the same thing to trump. This could go really well.
If just my state left, and I could leave to another state, that would be pretty good. Two Republican senators gone, roughly 15 net house reps gone, and an influx of dem refugees like me into neighboring states.
Texas could legit try to make a go of it as an independent nation. It would be a disaster for my family though.
The Democrats are a conservative party. They want to get back to the days when the parties had no ideological differences and were just clubs that voters picked personalities they liked most.
That ended during the progressive era, when some politicians (in both parties) got ideas about making the country better for working class people. The Republicans had more friends that were rich as fuck so they started propaganda campaigns among Republican voters and the progressive Republicans were primaried out of office.
Now the Democrats are stuck with the leftist label they don’t really want. Some of their voters do, but only some. American voters want leftist policies to be enacted but are allergic to leftist politicians and organizing.
I think if Stewart won the white house and made Colbert his press secretary, and he played the character from the Colbert report and just framed everything Stewart did as the most hardcore American Conservative stance and talked about how Republicans need to get on Stewart’s level, they could actually shift the Overton window.
