Welcome back, Gravy! The thing is, his supporters don't think he lost in 2020, they think he was cheated. They will go to their graves saying that, despite NO EVIDENCE in a court of law. I watched all of that election denial bullshit. Where is the Kraken? I've said it before, and I'll say it again: REPUBLICANS ALWAYS SHOW UP TO VOTE. They hold their nose, and they vote for whatever piece of dog shit the party is supporting. The Democrat "base," if you can call it that, will sit home and pout if they don't get EXACTLY what they want. WHY DIDN'T KAMALA GET 81,000,000 VOTES? I'll bet all those Islamic goat-fuckers in Ilhan Omar's district and those misguided pro-Palestine college students are feeling really good about their choices this past November.
I am not a Trump supporter, but halting production of the penny is the only thing that’s like “okay, cool.”
I think they are part of it for sure. But, Dems had a lower turnout this last election, more in line with previous elections outside of the 2020 election. The thing that stood out to me was the fact that men 18-29 I think voted 45% with Trump. That tells me that Dems are losing the information war with younger people. If that number is true, that means podcasts, streamers, and other formats are key. Joe Rogan is an idiot but his platform can be manipulated. He’s not smart enough to know where to truly push back on things. He listens to practically anyone. They should go on every big podcast. Do real long-form discussions. Be real people. Cable news is dead and is akin to professional wrestling.
I'm full on back to the grind working ~60 hours this week so my brain is mush but I can formulate the high level thoughts of Fuck Trump and fuck everyone who is still cheerleading that whack job. Even moreso, fuck everyone who has to bring politics into fucking everything. Saw a post today and there were two pics of DiCaprio and Kate Winslet 25 years apart. The caption said "My two favorite actors (politics aside)" WTF? Seriously?
America invades, and then they lose. Every time. That’s what America does. Besides, you guys will turn your guns on each other before you do it to us. Your actual dysfunction lies inside your borders.
Ok, but has the happened, it is this just him and his circus seals talking out of his fat ass? Last time he was in charge QAnon was the cool new thing and the wall was being built.
Well, he SAID he ordered the treasury to halt production. I’m trying to find evidence they did halt production, but can’t find it quick. But the DOJ said during his first term that his social media posts are official announcements. But, does the current DOJ say that? Who knows. Also…would the treasury refusing to halt production count against him, or the treasury? We’re basically in the churn down here.
I wish I could find the posts again, but there was a link to some studies showing discrepancies in voting numbers and patterns in Pennsylvania and Nevada for 2024 which imply some kind of fuckery(makese sense given that Trump wouldn't shut the fuck up about not needing help in Pennsylvania thanks to Musk). It's genius really. Claiming fraud for 2020 is obviously bullshit, but it primed the pump for you being able to commit actual voter fraud and get away with it since the other side can't claim anything without looking partisan even if it's bullshit. The dumb fucking kids you mentioned continue to be dumb fucking kids by the way. It's also been brought up interestingly that all of the "Free Palestine" protest entirely stopped after the elections or at least nearly all of them.
I made a post about it a page back. It's paywalled, but if you open it on Firefox and use the text only marker in the address bar you can bypass the paywall. It's about how a lot of younger people are flocking to the GOP because of influencer culture and their lax morals on behaviour("I just wanna say fa**ot and ni**er and not get in trouble is all") vs the left amongst other culture war bullshit. I can already feel the eyerolls, but a lot of this shit goes back HARD to the whole gamergate bullshit from some years ago which heavily primed a bunch of men in that age bracket to tilt hard right.
I think it's hard to dispute that theory when the President directly intervenes on behalf of a rapist whose entire brand is "teach boys to hate women."
True. There's also a ton of shit going on with big tech and gaming since both markets are pretty much joined at the fucking hip at least as far as the west is concerned especially the US. Definitely a LOT of culture war stuff as well that makes is easy stomping grounds for right wing grifters.
Ukraine support stopped. Russian sanctions being eliminated. Congrats, Russia, you won the cold war. And 25% tariffs start tomorrow against Canada. Our (Ontario) Premiere is not fucking around. Say goodbye to power, nickel, and a bunch of other stuff.
