Centrist Sisyphus @centristsisyphus.bsky.social · 12/04/2026When this ineptly planned military adventure in Iran runs its course, maybe the U.S. can try once again functioning as a Constitutional Republic rather than its current form, an oligokakikleptocracy unitarily run by an ignorant vainglorious sociopath. Hey, a person can dream! 0121
Centrist Sisyphus @centristsisyphus.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Crowds one deep at Trump’s “Perade,” with the other side of the street almost empty. Any Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans would fold in shame if it got crowds this small and lame. And at Mardi Gras, Kings are welcomed! 1162
Centrist Sisyphus @centristsisyphus.bsky.social · 15/04/2025The only potential shift would be low-info voters who went Trump because inflation sucks and 2019 seemed ok, and now are reminded that "Oh yeah, this guy breaks promises and brings chaos to everything." It MIGHT be enough. We're still a couple of months from tariff inflation shifting a larger bloc. 0130

Centrist Sisyphus @centristsisyphus.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Note to hotels and travel search sites such as Expedia: If you advertise a hotel as "pet friendly" but which has a $75 fee for a small dog or cat, it's not actually pet friendly. Travel sites should apply a reasonable cost limit ($20?) to their pet friendly search filter. 191
Centrist Sisyphus @centristsisyphus.bsky.social · 21/01/2025The most incisive explanation for the primary challenge faced by democratic countries this century, a fault line relentlessly exploited by populists in government and propagandists in media... 161
Centrist Sisyphus @centristsisyphus.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Just spitballing, but rather than Trump insisting the Senate shouldn’t confirm his nominees and that the FBI shouldn’t do background checks… Couldn’t he just appoint people for whom this wouldn’t be a problem? It’s a big country with lots of qualified, law-abiding people. 270
