Steel tight logic, sir
Co-opted by the far right.. in 1980
Whups. Okay, looking forward to his accounting of the NEXT three things he gets wrong 😀
That's one thing.. and it was the most obvious Looking for more of an accounting for how "moderate centrism" helped to bring us to the place we're at
Looking forward to your: some things I've gotten wrong
IOW, (yawn) blood and soil
I still do things with my right-wing friends and family Reflecting on why I haven't stopped, I realized I am the more grounded, emotionally mature member of these relationships I can be the bigger person, so I try to be even though I've accepted they will not change, no matter the example I set
Does the Chicago Tribune know the fascist right has been flooding our society with firearms for decades?
I've wanted this since roughly 1989
Yeah, what ends Republican control of the levers of power is colossal failure of governance
Is J.D. Vance thinking about what he learned at Yale Law?
Bottom line, the catastrophes fascism always ushers in need to be spectacular but not too painful, widespread but recoverable, and arrive quickly rather than being drawn out.
The "good news" is each of these disastrous events are not only plausible, they're actively being pursued by the administration. Indeed, it seems unlikely any of them can be avoided under perpetual Trump rule. The question then is, will they come to pass soon, or too late to be recovered from?
As one of his frequent targets (childfree, believer in America's founding ideals, cat lover) it drives me absolutely fucking nuts
It is never not #projection with right-wingers
"I'm voting for the anti-war candidate..."
-Environmental upheaval caused by Anthropogenic Climate Disruption -Another, worse this time, global pandemic Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but "we're all accelerationists now" wasn't just some pithy quip people used after the election. It's the reality we're now in.
For Americans to truly, finally, understand the magnitude of our grave error in electing this idiot twice, it's going to take something huge and unmistakable. Four possibilities: -Economic free fall, collapse of the dollar, depression -World War 3, with the U.S. now being part of the Axis...
I keep hearing podcasts chronicling the blatancy of Republican/MAGA fascism and wondering aloud, what can be done? How will this end? Given Trump's jaw-dropping level of insanity and stupidity, our only hope now is for some external shock that exposes his (and their) incompetency...
I never called her or anyone else a "birthing person." Nor had I ever even heard that term until... Someone else on the internet used it, she objected, got pushback, and decided "the left" in its entirety was trying to force everyone to say it.
This is one of the most explicit examples you'll ever see of "the people who annoy me the most, personally, also happen to be the nation's biggest political problem." The quintessential reactionary centrist maneuver.

No offense to my fellow Americans in Texas who are Longhorns fans, but I’m enjoying the thought of those traitors Ken Paxton and Greg Abbott possibly having a shitty afternoon (#gobucks)
Maybe I'm looking through rose-colored glasses, but I find it encouraging Republicans are trying to gerrymander the vote in their favor It means they think they can't withstand a big loss and still retain power And they may be in for a beatdown after another 14 months of this shit
I had no idea I remember more about euchre games when I was in junior high than I do... junior high. But I'm from suburban Toledo
You didn't know how to play euchre BEFORE you got to college?!
Did none of them watch the latest South Park?
(that was the joke 😉)
And following on your earlier post, humans are terrible at recognizing actual deep change as opposed to the scary stories being pumped into our brains by self-interested ideologues
I mean, what were they supposed to do, make up hundreds of horrible things Trump had done or said?
I'm not even sure what this sign was meant to say. Could just be misguided sarcasm that doesn't have the effect the maker of it intended. Otherwise, this is a far-right message.
Snoop Dog, being scared of a same sex couple in an animated movie, is not very gangster.
Translation: the "tone" was too anti- Confederate traitors
"Tan mom" 😆
Thanks a lot, woke left
Did they really write "specialised" and not the American spelling with a "z"? #traitors
Sounds boring
😆
David, people aren't stupid
How did we arrive at this sorry state? 🤔 No one says people are stupid (despite the mountain of evidence we are) because it's conventional wisdom that to say so is cope and ego-defending or some such
..and in the run up to the presidential election, "Donald Trump is better on the economy"
But I was told over and over, "People aren't stupid"
When I was a kid I was terrified of spiders Now I carefully go around them if one shows up on the floor in my house
JD Vance's eyeliner is a distraction
Kristi Noem's cosmetic surgery is a distraction
Calling everything a distraction is a distraction
It's the electorate...
If you think people aren't stupid, you may be one of them
That's a ridiculous assertion
NPR springs to mind
Apparently, popularism assumes that fascism is a lot more popular.
Zohran Mamdani's campaign is making politics seem fun, worthwhile and inclusive. No wonder the Democratic Party is rejecting him like a foreign organism.

It's a death cult
Making this dickhead's tweet, impressively, even more cringe
Imagine thinking Trump actually gives a shit about war and peace
The libertarian paradise is gonna be so awesome!
getting my microplastics removed
Most people in the country understanding ANYthing is absurd
WHY would there be such an electoral penalty, Matt? 🤔
A lot more than just Medicaid cuts are going to be terrible before the midterms
I would take this very seriously if contacted. Rabies can have a very long incubation time before symptoms develop. Post exposure prophylaxis administered in a timely manner is very effective.
Yes, but it was implied by the people doing the telling that it’s WAY more widespread and endemic than that
a slumlord
I’m sorry but I refuse to stop laughing at “one of whom was doing a wheelie”
But I was told anti-semitism on the left is a big problem now too
The "nanny state" right-wingers were talking about?... #projection www.yahoo.com/news/article...
So were the 10 counts of Obstruction of Justice everyone in media immediately ignored
I'll never get how people watch for decades the right flank of both U.S. political parties gut public aid, see the predictably terrible consequences all around us, & still blame their victimized fellow Americans rather than the elites who caused it
Surprise surprise, Republicans becoming WOKE
It's gonna be terrible getting there, but it sure seems Trump is on a high-speed rail to unprecedented levels of failure and unpopularity
Im doing it. I’m thinking about it right now.
The only place in DC where crime is up is the White House.
I hate those
Who could have guessed that the Pizzagate/QAnon obsession with a cabal of pedophiles among their political opponents was yet another case of #projection?
...which cost them a lot of subscribers, including me
The financial incentive isn't the only, or even the primary, driver of TYT's rightward shift Ana (and then Cenk) started attacking the "online left" back around 2021 when I was still a long-time daily listener because they got mocking pushback for their dawning centrism...
Boo spring But granted, summer is even worse
Meanwhile, fossil fuel air pollution alone kills 5 million people globally every year www.theguardian.com/environment/...
"How dare anyone criticize me."
I can't believe I used to respect her intelligence
First of all, there are more than two sides Second, the right-wing has exited the realm of reality, OBVS
I remember when TYT used to mock the center-right refrain, "Both sides do it" #sad
The Epstein tapes
The glorious libertarian paradise is finally at hand!
^ironic
Because lots of liberals are right-wing
Are they eager to ally with the left, Glenn?
Wait, the Party or the electorate? Two very different animals
who they consider their "customers." So teachers are forced to pick up the slack or face consequences for disgruntled parents more bothered by their kids' grades than the fact that they're not learning anything. So everybody "passes." Individualized instruction is a pipe dream at this point.
My wife is a veteran public school teacher who has been reduced to trying to reach the handful of kids still open to any kind of education at all. The rest are listening to their phones; high; sleeping; or not even in class at all. Administration has abandoned discipline in deference to parents...
I became OBSESSED with "I Couldn't Be Your Friend" for about 6 months when this record came out
