How is it such a petty and immature person is deemed fit for presidential office I may never understand.

77 million petty, immature voters who put selfishness and hatred ahead of country.

Past time to stop supporting appeasers.

I’d missed that there was this recent background of armed resistance to these ICE centers.

We’re even closer to it kicking off than I realized.

Edit - wrong pic

Don’t forget the penis size compliment, also.

After 2020 I thought he was surely cooked. Then after Jan 06 I thought surely no one with sense wants to do anything but run as fast as they can from these cultists, and going into 2024 I thought Kamala isn’t perfect but at least everyone finally has trump’s number.

Then I woke up the day after the 2024 election:

The sad truth is a huge part of this country is OK with fascism and at least as many seem to be ambivalent. (or were so until sometime after November, 2024)

We might get a temp reprieve again like after WWII until enough of us that are alive now die off, then folks will forget again. That’s how we got Israel speed-running Holocaust 2.0 and Trump working hard on Hitler 2.0. The folks who just want bottomless power and wealth never stopped wanting it and the folks who remembered how bad it could get eventually lost the numbers game.

Sorry to sound so damn pessimistic but the one thing I really looked around after decades on the planet and could feel proud of about humanity was that at the very least we were getting better, however slowly.

Now I’m less sure. Now I’m starting to think it’s a cycle that’s just long enough that most of us don’t perceive it.

Cowards. We won’t forget.

Sadly, as a populace, we sure as fuck will, and faster than we should.

Some of us won’t forget. 🤜🤛

(sadly the best we can hope for is that enough of us won’t forget)

To my knowledge Manson never murdered anyone with his own hands either. (Though I’m prepared to be corrected.) Same thing 100%.

Edit - arguing against myself a little - maybe not, I’m sure Manson coerced his followers with more than words at times.

It’s very possible you are correct, and I’m sorry for being too lazy to look it up right now. 🙂

It’s been a very long time since I’ve paid much attention to the show (which is not the snarky sideswipe it might sound like) but I thought it was a very, very liberal-centric (note I did not say left) show with (IIRC) one token conservative host.

I could very well be wrong though.

I can see it alright. My vote 3.5 years from now doesn’t impact what Trump does next week though. How Dem leadership reacts when he does it might impact that vote though.

Thanks! 🙂

No one even knows what my half of the proposition is, but that’s alright! I’m only one vote! (which is the other thing everyone seems to be forgetting)

A lot of branches of the far left are authoritarian, and they deserve the same treatment as fascists for the same reasons.

Ok, I’ll agree in principle!

It’s almost like I’m expected to uncritically serve up my vote to them for not being the other party.

If it really is exactly like that (and clearly it is) this has been a waste of both our times, frankly.

No one seems to be interested in asking what I’d want to see to vote for them, only that I’m wrong for the vote that I might or might not cast in 3.5 years time, which I find very interesting on an intellectual level.

I think there have been a lot of articles showing the protest votes didn’t move the needle in a way that could have impacted the outcome, but I’m prepared to be shown I’m wrong.

Very good points!

Have the day you plan to vote for.

I don’t have a plan yet. No one seems to be interested in asking what I’d want to see to vote for them, only that I’m wrong for the vote that I might or might not cast in 3.5 years time, which I find very interesting on an intellectual level.
