I recall an old farmers joke where a farmer is found in the outhouse pit covered in “waste”. After getting him out, they asked why he was in there.

He said he dropped his wallet in there. When asked how that happened, he said he dropped his watch in there. When asked how that happened, he said he dropped his hat in there. When asked how that happened, he said he accidentally dropped a quarter in there, and I’ll be damned if I was going to go down there for just a quarter.

I think the rubes have been voting this way their whole lives and would feel ridiculous if they didn’t keep doing it.

Also GOP voter, I have found, most believe politics to be like sports. My team has to win, or I’ll feel bad. Whereas politics is more of a bus ride. Does the bus get you to the exact location you want? No, but does it get you close enough? Yes,

The duping is a run an effective fear monger campaign without needing to explain any policy positions other that fear the people different from you. I live in TX all the ads were “fear the immigrants” or “we need to fix the issue the democrats created*” with 0 elaboration on actual policy.

The immigrants issue. I don’t see this as a major problem. Despite what is said about them, they can not vote and often need to use an SSN to get hired anywhere legit, which then they must pay taxes into the system.

*the GOP has had unilateral control of TX government for 30ish years now. They haven’t done shit for the people.

Two of my favorites are Kyle Kinaine and Dave Stone

Ahhh… the old if you think this is bad, imagine how much worse the next/other guy/party will be if I can get away with this much.

That stroke really did a number on him

From what the right Wings news sources are saying, “It’s the Dens fault the majority/ruling party can not get thier shit together”

“Why is this still legal?” sasy, someone who doesn’t vote for change and has no ambition to vote every cycle.

As someone who lives in TX and thinks my state/federal leadership is dumb AF. Yes, they want it. Having a SCOTUS who will play similarly dumb AF is a bonus to them.

Trump (2 weeks after everything all the experts said would happen happens): Noun one knew how complicated banking is… my uncle, the MIT professor; huege brain was surprised this happened. An MIT professor didn’t think this could happen; speaking of things that happen, Batron… where is Batron? Where is, possibly, my “favorite” son? The crypto visionary. Let me tell you about the importance of crypto. Did you know this stuff is mined? Like from the earth? More valuable than water it is. Looking to back the usd by crypto and then by water. It’s free it just drops from the sky like “Bing, Bing Bing bing” might as well as be kaching!!

I like to remind people that businesses are not the best way to run a government.

The government imposes the rules business need to follow. I seasiously doubt business would have stopped child labor, insisted on workers’ safety, or minimum wage, without the government being there being rules that need to enforce the rules.

If the boot licking workers want to experience what this would be like. Go to Asia and get a job at any manufacturing site, and you’ll be at your “dream job”
