Wild to see this, living only a few blocks away. For those unaware (likely all of you), Carlisle is the county seat of a deeply red county on the rural/urban divide in Pennsylvania. The borough itself has a population of only 20k.

What you’re seeing here is the town square on the intersection of the two main streets through town out in front of the courthouse. It’s always been a popular ‘soapbox’ spot and most days you’ll see at least a person or two advocating for a cause. I have never seen half as many people for a protest here. This was genuinely bonkers to see.

Oh no, it looks like Mump really did break up.

As Democrats know all too well, national trends don’t decide elections. For reasons that increasingly strain credulity, that simply is not how US elections work. Any analysis that doesn’t spend the bulk of its time on what happened in Pennsylvania and Michigan specifically is probably not worth reading. People in these states know that their votes have massive impact compared to states like California and Wyoming and so they behave differently.

Remind me which states pay all the fucking taxes again?

What factory jobs?

implying they ever stopped

Narrator: Unfortunately, it did not.

Can’t lose what you never had.

Probably, the only defense lawyer most people could name off the top of their head is Johnnie Cochran.

So why are we in this circular firing squad against Democrats?”

Because most of us aren’t here to be Democrats, we’re here to make the country a better place and some of the calls are coming from inside the house.

Jim Cramer observed

Title had me worried for a sec, as soon as I saw this I knew we’ll be alright.

People used to say Reagan and his courting of the ‘moral majority’ were going to fracture the party and cause it to destroy itself with the embrace of a massively divisive religious rhetoric. It’s wishful thinking at best.

there’s no way the GOP can recover.

I want this to be true, but it just isn’t. A third of the country will follow along with whatever mental gymnastics are required to blame democrats. Another third are just not paying enough attention and vote on pure vibes, if at all. If dems try to run an unlikable, centrist candidate with a mixed at best record it will end up a toss up. And the electorate at large will forget everything that is happening now within eight years.

Every time Republicans advance a plan that reduces to ‘do nothing and the problem will solve itself’ I hear FDR warning us again from beyond the grave

This is a response to viral regressive propaganda from a couple years ago about primary students being allowed to ‘identify’ as animals as well as use litter boxes, etc in school classrooms that was pressed again during the recent US election season.

This is a brain-damaged paraphrasing of a stump he gave during the campaign. If you listen to the whole speech it’s clear he’s talking about Biden rigging the 2020 election.

Calling one reverse is an attempt to make it sound less bad.

Why would she want to make the alleged harms done to her sound less bad? Especially in the midst of a lawsuit?

Among the many, many stupid things said in service of the republican victimhood complex, ‘reverse discrimination’ has to be one of the most stupid.

Why are we naming the Trump stooges and not the opposition humiliating them in titles of articles?

I had an intro to sociology prof spend an entire lecture on full blown anti vax conspiracy shit.

Also had a bio prof take 5 during an anatomy lecture to give a teary eyed plea for the young women in class to not ruin one of the ‘fundamental joys of motherhood’ by getting their nipples pierced.

These guys are so cartoonishly bad at everything that they can’t even fire people right.

This shit is the closest I’ve ever been to believing in god, because I’m desperately running out of other ways to explain how anyone this absolutely inept at everything could fail up so hard. If it’s not divine intervention then I don’t know what the fuck the world even is anymore.
