We are now, without a doubt, the greatest kleptocracy the world has ever known. By virtue of Donald Trump and the Republican Party promising to hate and abuse those people a nation of angry rubes wants to hate and abuse, they have lifted the national wallet and handed it back to the rubes, empty.

This, to me, is absolutely a reason to vote Liberal. Nothing this rancid CAQ government has done is more despicable and damaging than its attack on our English universities.

The term “remigration” is associated with the extreme right and only came into widespread usage in 2023-4. Even Germany’s AfD avoided using the term in 2024 for fear of scaring away voters. Today the US government is celebrating the “victories” it’s racked up in the “ethnic cleansing” column.

To put it bluntly, people voted for Trump due to their fear of immigrants, Muslims, BLM protesters and their pathological loathing of Hillary Clinton. (They conveniently found a new Uppity Female Democrat to replace her in 2024.) Meanwhile, Trump’s always been a babbling goddamned lunatic.

The problem with focusing on Trump’s current incoherence is that it implies that his supporters were previously drawn to his razor-sharp insight, his subject-matter expertise and his canny political wisdom. Those of us with long memories know that none of that is fucking true.

Not making it up: Just boarded a Southwest flight and as I passed the cockpit, pilot and copilot were telling a flight attendant about being furries. Regrettably for the intellectual powerhouse that is the U.S. senator from Alabama, in the next breath they started laughing and called him an idiot.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

All the people going “oh so you think you’re too good for country music???” Yes, I do. Any country song I became aware of in the past 25 years was about loving troops, loving cops, the singer’s divine right to a lifted pickup truck and/or tractor, or an extremely suspect interpretation of Jesus.
