What if an entire country had two full years to look itself in the eye and internalize the idea that they'd elected the King Of The Rapists to steal money out of their wallets, murder their neighbors, and shit in their food. Is it theoretically possible such an event would effect opinion polls

i think it is fun when people write things that are just totally in tension with easily observable reality. like, this is “charlie brown had hoes” levels of nonsense: “in his first term Trump largely respected the cultural consensus of the Obama years.” www.compactmag.com/article/how-...

How ‘Woke 1’ Radicalized the GOP

On May 30, 2020, five days after the death of George Floyd, the head of a prominent DC-area think tank issued a stentorian condemnation of the killing and the bigotry she said had enabled it.

Our internet, how we get all of our information, now has banned using the word "sex" without writing it like "s*x" but our kids are being inundated with people falling off rollercoasters, being mauled by Tigers, and jumping off buildings. It creates a culture afraid of people but in love with death.

I would like to see somebody run on swinging the pendulum back. No, actually, you don't have a Constitutional right to sic 40,000 Belarusian bots disguised as sexy grandmas underneath every WNBA highlight in order to make an entire sport about the existence trans people. Stop accepting that premise.

Nobody likes that the internet has been overrun with fake shit, and it is materially, negatively impacting our relationships with our neighbors and our trust in literally everything. Republicans benefit from this environment, and therefore attempted to criminalize the study of information ops.

It does appear the "data center eliminated Nazi and otherwise fuckface bots" narrative is basically wishcasting, it does show you how popular getting rid of this shit would broadly be, and that maybe a smart person should run on it.

men don't read in general as much anymore for the same reason that there are no longer any great conservative writers, because non-instrumental knowledge and expression and literature have been overwhelmingly rejected as gay and feminine by modern conservatism

the male reading thing is way simpler than most people make it. men typically don't like reading books about women whereas the opposite isn't true because women typically see men as subjects and men typically see women as objects

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Trump is openly trying to incite violence against this ethnic group (most of whom are American citizens, not that it matters). He is using the tools of the government to persecute them.

Also it’s time for the news to stop treating this administration’s racist war against Somalis as “Trump being Trump.” They targeted Minneapolis because they hate an ethnic group here, and now they’re targeting the most prominent political figure in that group with thinly rationalized state violence.

Very much like merely-very-good players Kobe Bryant and Derek Jeter *performed* being all-time greats in a way that fooled most people, Ditka performed "tough old school football coach" so comprehensively that people believed him to be that thing despite ample evidence he sucked ass
