This is who and what the conservatives and the Republicans are.

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Way too many thinkpieces that seem to have as a built-in assumption that Donvict just came along and somehow ruined the Republican Party. That’s bullshit - people like David Brooks spent lots of money and ink and flowery language on papering over the fact that the Republican Party is full of Republicans for decades and pretended that Rush was just some fringe phenomenon.

It’s just the mask is coming off. Having Obama in office followed by a piece of shit racist like Donvict following him has simply pried these people loose of their usual self-editing. Now they don’t feel they have to edit themselves at all.

Another historical turning point was desegregation and white flight to xtian private schools (segregation academies). There was a decision there that boiled the blood of the racists and they took up a home in the Republican Party and married far-right white supremacist shit with xtianity under their “big tent”. I think they still don’t quite have their way on this, but we’ll see how long that lasts under this administration. It has galvanized Republicans for years, though. They are infuriated that their kids have to sit in schools with Black kids and are dying to reverse that.

JFC, how pathetic this guy is.

That’s not how medals work, asshole.

Who would have thought a guy practically in the Silent Generation would have pined for a participation trophy? Such a loser.

I wish you all the best. Take care.

It is probably most accurate to call them terrorists, but insurrectionists is a compromise I guess.

Calling them “rioters” implies it was just random, instead of the culmination of months of planning by terrorist groups goaded on by Taco.

Yeah, but KKKaroline Leavitt just said that Donvict “defeated Biden’s inflation crisis” (holy shit you have to be stupid to believe such utter nonsense), so I’m sure his polls should skyrocket, right?

The 40% that approve of his overall job performance…what to even do with these types? The is always going to be a certain kind of dipshit, even “moderates” that have been trained to believe that “'publicans gud aht conomee”, so the fact that 37% approve of his economy is unsurprising. And of course the hardcore racists are jerking off over ICE violence.

Stop calling them “rioters”.

Go fuck yourself.

I really don’t give a fuck what this asshole wants.

His very existence in that office is illegal and immoral.

You have to already have a lot of people prepped as this stupid and receptive to it though, first.

If we had a well-fed, financially secure and stable, well-educated populace with very high rates of literacy and numeracy, as well as steeped in things like media literacy and critical thinking, they would not be so receptive to this.

He has a lot of really dumb obsessions.

He thinks people seeking asylum came from mental institutions. He is obsessed with putting his name on shit he did nothing to make. He is obsessed with ballrooms. He is obsessed with windmills and thinks they are bad. He is obsessed with letting criminals like Tina Peters and the J6 terrorists go unpunished. He is obsessed with thinking he is the one that ended California’s fires.

It just goes on and on. He’s a gigantic manbaby who understands nothing about the real world.

But he had just enough brainstems to vote for him and still support him even now, because a certain kind of person thinks that this kind of thing is “charismatic”.

Huh.

I wonder where all those Enlightened Centrists ™ and holier-than-thou leftists are at these days? They sure were preening a lot right after Donvict’s second (supposed) election.

They sure seem to be pretty quiet these days…

They cannot even suggest good ways to save money OR eat healthy, FFS.

One way to eat on a tight budget is to use rice and dried beans. If you wait for sales and use coupons, beans might be really cheap canned at times, so your mileage may vary on which is cheaper, dried or canned. Make sure the rice and dried beans can be stored w/o mice or other pests getting into them.

Find cookbooks aimed at doing stuff on the cheap - something like the More-with-less cookbook. There are probably hundreds of recipes online that have rice and beans as the base.

Or that the Republican Party is full of Republicans and conservatives.

How could this be? /pikachu_face

LOL, shift?

This is who and what the conservatives and Republicans have always been. It’s not new with Taco, it’s just the mask is off now.

Now “JD” is out there saying you no longer have to apologize for being white.

As if that was ever a thing, but Donvict is also fond of saying people can say “merry xmas” now, as if it ever stopped or slowed down or was ever restrained in any way whatsoever.

He might, because he’s a dumbass.

He and other conservative chuds feel that TV shows on linear television have “low ratings” because they went “woke”, when the reality is that there is a sea change in consumer media habits.

Make no mistake: it was always corporate news, but now it’s just: See BS.

I so want to see her on the stand at some point. Under oath, and not in an environment controlled by conservatives, either.

Again, I think people are focusing on the wrong thing.

JD Vance and Marco are “new blood”. So is Gaetz. That Nick Fuentes guy is very young. Before he was murdered, Charlie Kirk was very young as well.

I don’t want any of that trash running anything.

I don’t get why? As long as people are not cognitively impaired, why should they be prevented from working?

If anything, as science and medical breakthroughs come online, it might be feasible that people can work into their 90s and beyond.

This is all the wrong focus, but I expect nothing less than inter-generational hatred to be stoked by the corporate media to make sure people don’t have their eye on the ball…

If anything, as lifespan/healthspan gets extended, we’ll see even more people that are 80+ in Congress.
