Sarcastic bitch with a wine problem
Academics, think tanks and magazines are buzzing with conversations about how to undo the damage wrought by half a century of misguided economic policies. On the right, that debate has already spilled out into the public view.
Well, if vocally campaigning to make shit much worse qualifies as “spilled out into the public view”, then yeah I guess it has
I suppose they meant that it slows down their internet, not the internet
I thought he’d understood why it was better for him to drop out of the race, but I guess that was overly optimistic of me
I’m surprised I haven’t seen any “trump for Harris” generated images yet in this thread.
It’d mean having to give money to Musk
Clueless MBA parasites ruining shit for everybody again?
Must be a day that ends in Y
Well, separating his [] from his [] using the famous French invention called [] would definitely be justice
As long as we keep pretending conservatism is a valid political ideology and not a dangerous mental disorder that should land you in treatment and on a watch list, no civilized society can be safe.
What he needs is something I can’t say out loud if I don’t want to get banned.
I love it that reich-wing lunatics are now eating their own. They suddenly think Andrew Tate is trans, ditto for that one cockwomble who shot protestors (Kyle something?), and now even Trump is a deep state operative.
Keep it up, conservatives. Maybe murder each other and not us LGBT+ folks for a change?
Exactly. Treating conservatives like adults is a losing game; they lie about everything, and refuting every lie that comes out of a conservative’s mouth is wasted time. More often than not, everybody who’s not a conservative can tell they’re lying so fact-checking gives them no extra value, and conservatives will literally never read fact checks anyhow
Frontotemporal dementia
The scary part is that they are normal for something like 30% of the population of not more
There are no moderate conservatives. Every single one of them either wants genocide and other atrocities, or maybe doesn’t actively wish for genocide but as long as it doesn’t affect them they’re going to keep voting for the people pushing for genocide anyhow
“The narrative” that everybody should have voting rights?
Oh no, the horror!
Trump is much better equipped psychologically to withstand ferocious criticisms than he is equipped to withstand mockery. Malignant narcissists go to great lengths to hide their fears and display a false or idealized self. Criticism targets the persona. Mockery, by contrast, can tap very deep fears of being exposed as flawed or weak. When the mask is the target, people with Trump’s psychological profile know how to fight back. Mockery, though, can cause them to unravel.
This seems to be very common with conservatives more generally. Criticizing them does nothing, but turns out that mocking their absolutely fucking bizarre beliefs drives them up the wall
Agh, figures that the Russian Volunteer Corps was apparently in on the action. It just never fails to boggle my mind that the majority of the anti-Russian militias that are fighting in Ukraine are so far right that they think Putin isn’t fascist enough.
Like, yeah, it’s great that they’re fighting Russia, but holy fuck is it this hard to find people in Russia who aren’t complete pieces of shit and are also willing to fight Putin?
I think it’s interesting is that so many autocracies keep up the pretense of democratic and rules-based governance; even North Korea has elections. Same with political trials like you see in so many authoritarian regimes, from modern Russia or China to Nazi Germany – it’s like autocrats need to be able to pretend to themselves that the system they run is fair and just, and that they’re not just tyrants who govern with impunity and enforce rules arbitrarily.
What I don’t get is why? Why bother when it’s immediately obvious to everyone that it’s all a sham? Why not drop the pretense, which everybody knows is just a pretense?
I bet this was some sort of gen AI mishap: “translate this campaign text to Latin”, because of course Latinos speak Latin, and it’s called Latin America too!
Although this would be twice as hilarious if they hired a translator who just went “🤷 ah well, money is money”
