  • It will happen with the current administration. Red states are the most reliant on government “handouts”. Conservative voters are predominantly the least educated, least informed, and most economcially vulnerable people. They will be the most affected by trumps tariffs. They will be the most affected by his billionaire tax breaks. They will be the most affected by his cuts to social programs. I hate to see my fellow Americans fall on hard times, but despite all the history, expert opinions, and direct evidence that Trump is going to fuck them over, they keep voting for him. It’s going to be hard, but I’m not giving my conservative neighbors and family any direct support for the next 4 years. Thoughts and “prayers” are all that they will get from me. Let them suckle from the shriveled teat of their spray-tanned steer this time.








  • I’ll bite.

    Jon isn’t ultra liberal, I’d say he’s on the far side of center left, like a lot of Democrats. Pro-capitalism, but managed/regulated capitalism. Pro social safety nets, but not “everyone gets everything they need for free”.

    The guy basically quit his show and went to the mat for 9/11 first responders, and I get the feeling that the opinions and issues he talks about are his actual opinions on issues that are important to him. I applaud him for not holding back on attacking Biden when it was clear that Biden was unfit for another 4 years in office. I think if we had listened to Jon earlier, we would have been able to run an actual primary and get Democrat voters more engaged. If you find Jon annoying or intolerable now, it might just be because he’s calling out shit that you like, and he’s doing it effectively.
