Only 49% of us seem to live in the real world, apparently.

These articles are nothing but copium bait for the left.

True lol

Their ‘free speech’ seems to mean ‘freedom for me to be a bootlicking asshole and for the rest of you to shut up’

r/Conservative unironically thinks it’s great, so they probably do too.

Fox told them it was, after all. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

Please and thank you

Yup. The needle hasn’t moved from around 40-45% support since he took office in pretty much all the polls. Sooo many Trumpers in the country around me and they’re still cheering him on with brass bands. Hell, just drove by a bunch of them the other day holding a ‘Thank You Kennedy!’ cheerfest.

This is just a copium article for us people on the left.

They voted for this and now they complain.

His cultists have already forgiven him for that blunder.

It used to be that ‘uneducated’ and ‘dumb’ were different things, but boy howdy are the Republicans trying to make them the same picture.

Have you seen Kristi Noem? She’s more plastic and Botox than person at this point.

Meanwhile, actual headline I saw in a paper from my city: Trump’s Tarriffs Spell Big Trouble for China!

In case anyone was wondering why there are no riots, it’s because most people are reading drivel like that.

Actually they are remarkably consistent in their principles. It’s just that they know their principles are disgusting, so they claim other principles as a cover.

It’s really quite simple:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Their goals are twofold: to make this a reality, and make sure they are in the first group.

Which just means they want the tariffs to happen. Perhaps a billionaire promised to buy him New Orleans or something?

Republicans gutting education and launching a massive propaganda campaign to convince people that being stupid is awesome, mostly.

The shine hasn’t worn off a bit. He’s polling pretty much exactly where he’s been throughout this presidential run; in the 44-46% support.

Almost half the country still supports him, and loves him, tariffs, destroying the constitution, and all.

Um, no?

He’s still staying firmly in the 44-46% range, where he’s been since he was elected. The needle movements have been so small there’s a good chance they’re just rounding errors.

Biden was at 33% at one point. Harry Truman managed to hit 22%. Nixon was at 23% when he left office.

All this ‘Trump’s ratings went down half a point! The honeymoon is over! He’s the worst president ever!’ is absolute bullshit, and I’m tired of it. It’s designed to make us on the left feel like people agree with us. Probably so we’ll complacently wait for everyone to agree to help us get him out of office.

Almost half the country is still thrilled with what Trump is doing. We are charging headlong into fascism with a good chunk of the country cheering it on. And those cheering masses are not going to ‘wake up’ and change our minds about it.

This is a very good analogy!

Although to be pedantic, there are white crows; there was one living in my neighborhood some years back.

Tell that to my friend’s grandma. Latest arrest record at 80, for whacking a cop with her handbag at a protest.

Oh for fuck’s sake. Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme. Would people stop with that bullshit already?

It’s quite simple.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

He offers them a spot in the first group. That’s it. That’s all. They have been raised from birth to believe they deserve it, and they’ve been taught their whole lives that the evil democrats won’t let them have it.

You don’t have to be stupid to believe something like that, just abysmally self-centered.

And he’s actually giving it to them, you’ll notice. The first leader they’ve voted for in a long time that did so unequivocally. They’ll walk through fire for him now.
