Fascism is like fire. It can spread, but ultimately it destroys the things it needs to keep going. Trump will try and use minorities and Democratic leaders as kindling to keep it going as long as possible. A saving grace for the US is that fascists never voluntarily give up power and so Trump’s death will likely result in some reconciliation of how we would like the constitution to actually function. Will there be enough political will to change that? Probably not.

This is an entire section of Project 2025… Encourage/force career employees in the government to quit so you can replace them with unqualified Sycophants.

Mitchell has more loyalty to American oligarchs than Russian ones. The lines are blurry because billionaires are multinational, and once a Russian spends money in his state, they become an American oligarch to him. Similar to Chinese oligarchs like his father in law.

Just sounds like torture camps people voluntarily go to. Why would they remain voluntary? These people think public facilities that give out small doses to prevent people from dying from withdrawal and needle dispenseries to prevent STIs are immoral, so we all know it’s torture. This is obvious whether you read the article or not for all of the nuance trolls.

I would have much preferred giving AMD money instead, but at their best the lack of DLSS performance was meaningful when everyone thought Cyberpunk was the new standard of graphical fidelity with the 6000/3000 series.

Fair chance that this has more to do with Gabbard than Gaetz. She’s close with Russian state media and was put in change of US Intelligence. Obviously a Trojan horse.

These are pennies compared to the oligarchs, don’t demonize labor for the rare exceptions, all automakers would apparently need to do is give the union president a raise to dampen your support? Don’t fight over crumbs.

Why stop at financial? Matt Gaetz is a predator in charge of the AG office. There are more things than profits that bad people seek.

You should give the Humanist Report a shot. Mike is extremely measured and doesn’t do advertisements apart from a book he wrote and that’s just in the background. I find his takes more reasonable than anyone else on the left, although I watch a lot of different sources. At least worth mixing it in.

You’re right. This reeks of choosing your narrative before looking at the data to me.

6 million less people voted so far than 2020, which is enough to make up the popular vote difference. I think this article’s conclusion is both* dismissive of population growth and also too generous in assuming those missing votes would have been split the same as those who did show up.

ACLU deserves better than “slams” They’re one of the only things holding fed together from all the ghouls in government.

In another blow to Democratscy*

Try flipping the image, our faces and expressions aren’t perfectly symetrical. That being said, if you like it then flip it back before posting it. People are used to seeing you, not the flipped version you’re used to seeing… There’s some evidence that zoomers aren’t as bothered by this because a sizable chunk use their ph9nes as mirrors and take more photos for Snapchat and similar apps.

Because at the time of the Nazi takeover, the party with that name was wholly operating as a rubber stamp to the most extremist right wing elements taking hold of their party. “The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea” is similarly nondescriptive as “German Worker’s Party” later purposely misleadingly named to “National Socialist German Workers’ Party” after Hitlers rise.

No, and neither did Germany.

Leave it up to moderate liberals to roll over and die. Way to signal his kingship guys, fucking top notch pick, that Merrick Galand. To think this ineffective dipshit was considered for SCOTUS. Literally a direct historical correlation to the rise of Hitler through ineffective and complacent liberalism from the socialist party. I guess when you construct a DOJ that doesn’t prosecute billionaires the whole thing short circuits when the tyrant is one… who could have predicted that except every leftist and historian?

Just FYI, there is strong terf energy in this movement if you look into its primary supporters. I’m all for withholding from men who don’t support your basic human rights, that is literally why the curve from young men to mid 20s and early 30s drastically shift left, but be careful about your associations.

They definitely are low information voters. When people hear things they don’t like from people they do like, they always assume it’s not going to hurt them until it actually does. This might eventually work if they heard it enough, but they never will and don’t care enough to pursue the information on their own.

In terms of the old white man thing, I think it’s fair to say that while people say they don’t want old people running, what they really mean is old people who aren’t all there. This should eliminate Trump, but he’s never seemed all there and he’s had a more shallow decline than Biden. Bernie doesn’t meet this qualification because he’s still as sharp as ever. Biden’s decline was shockingly fast and even turned liberals away despite his government still operating

I did get the very strong vibe from undecided voters that they really wanted to vote for Trump but couldn’t tell anyone the reason was racism or sexism because they care too much about their image with liberals or their own self-image.

That all being said, a trending search term on election day was, “Did Joe Biden drop out?” So clearly, the low information problem should be doing some heavy lifting in our conclusions.
