Well renewable energy is feminine and gay
My hot take is that “performative masculinity” is just “virtue signaling” for libs
Refuse to be called woke by someone who talks like a Harry Potter side character having a stroke. “Noshing on a poncy porous plimsoll?” Go to a hospital.
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
If Trump kicks it there’s no reason whatsoever anyone has to vote R after the last eight months
Not in places that matter in this context
"build more housing" is the single most important thing we can do to combat a further rightward drift of the electorate what do you think is going to happen as climate migration accelerates
guns are INCREDIBLY POPULAR on the right; they are a SIGNATURE SIGN OF WHITE MALE CHRISTIAN RURAL IDENTITY. People worship them.
“They advocate the removal of almost all public officials and services, increasing the numbers of the armed forces and police, building up the capacity for repression by the powers that be, no longer public, but corporate and business. [DOGE and militia-style police (ICE)] is a trial run of this.”
streets are saying that donald trump is a clone
How did they vote?
No I think you’re wrong in that they do actually want all of that to happen for themselves and their children, they just don’t see themselves as becoming victimized by it. Agreed on the rest though, spot on
Sure they do. Whether they can afford them or not is what’s really up for debate.
It’s not a plan, it’s an inevitability. Libs and leftists aren’t defunding rural hospitals or federal disaster response agencies.
Well everything to them is just like the economy. Line goes up = good
I know they do. Can’t pay the mortgage but APR on their lifted Ford is over 20%
Maybe those ruralite blue voters should move to a place that will actually have functional infrastructure in 20 years
As far as electoralism is concerned: yes!
Another $5 million in the fund for the next coup
Those “fat poors” would strap you behind an F-150 and drag you til you’re nothing but a pelvis wearing a belt for accidentally turning around in the wrong driveway
No, actually, they wanted this

What a worm
i don’t like the idea of the president missing. he could be anywhere. i am suddenly aware how little i appreciated opening my shower curtain knowing the president would not be standing there
As a leftist: you can’t make your opposition understand the consequences of their choices if you don’t speak their language. And the language of the American right is pain and suffering.
I should say these optics aren’t meant for DC residents who generally enjoy pretty good civic functions. It’s for red state viewers who will be used to manufacture consent for martial law.
Are you kidding? They love this shit unironically, none of them believe Verhoeven is satire
the demand is always expressed in terms of blue state governments step in and keep rural hospitals open. but why can't red rural county governments step in and keep rural hospitals open?
The right seeks to—and does—shift the terrain on which we fight and live. We can either seek to do the same or be perpetually losing ground.
He’s listening to his favorites on his way out
Timely
If/when he does re-emerge it would be fun to insist that it's a clone just to be annoying

You should watch his interviews. He’s also pretty well spoken.
Or the center collapses because his charisma is the only thing preventing his base from storming the capitol over his repeated failure to deliver them a better life
Idk most of WV looks about like those photos
Right but if you have a perfectly smooth brain and travestigate hard enough those numbers are actually reversed
Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender — 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender — 4,193. Hope that helps.
You should be taxed into poverty, Mark
No not clever, but obstinate and cowardly for sure
I mean MacArthurs mom used to dress him up in girls clothes, so there’s that
I subscribe to the conspiracy theory that McClellan was losing on purpose because he didn’t think slavery was worth fighting the war over and didn’t want to fight his old West Point buddies.
“was Lee or Grant a better general” is a question with an obviously correct answer that a whole lot of people get wrong
agree with everyone that the sabrina carpenter album cover is incredibly problematic. she's not doing any carpentry
Not a fair comparison, considering Hillenburg actually was a marine biologist
Was rummaging through old articles and found this one of Demetre Daskalakis. Apparently, back in 2013, he went to New York City's gay sex clubs and bathhouses and administered meningitis vaccines and helped beat an outbreak.
it was an explicit, top-down propaganda campaign to erode and eventually end our freedom of speech and it worked
And just like the confederacy it’ll collapsed in under five years
This should not be viewed in isolation from the workarounds to renaming army installations, the removal of predominantly women flag officers from positions they earned, and the decision to grant funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. All designed to shape and re-write history in service of a select group.
Felt this way about Big Balls’ assault being a pretext for the occupation of DC
She deserved worse
The paradox of Trump 2, I think, is that it's a nascent autocracy with the qualities of a dying autocracy: The autarch is old, promising an early succession; he is using his newfound powers to undermine the stability of the realm; & the regime, for all that it's been accommodated, is run by idiots
Trump's tariffs causes SSENSE to file for bankruptcy protection. Devastating to small designers, as SSENSE is an important retailer for them.
“The only real politics I knew was that if a guy liked Hitler, I’d beat the stuffing out of him and that would be it.” - Jack Kirby Happy birthday King
He isn’t
Unless you mean Hakeem, in which case you’re correct
He’s actually pretty funny lol
Good instincts bitch.
demanding a do-over military parade because your birthday military parade was a huge flop is the kind of thing that the undead corpse of george washington would smash through his coffin and murder you with his bare hands for, if he could
take my views on this with a grain of salt I guess (I am on team pro-civility and anti-debate), but I feel like the "civil debate" discourse is totally committed to the worst of both worlds
Oh, he really does want to hit 70% disproval
When my “pet cause” is my life or the lives of people I care about, then yeah, I’ve weighed the impact and decided voting for Gavin is not worth my time
Can’t wait for Gruesome Gavin to win the presidency and rescind none of Trumps policies and just become a (D)ictator
They all think they're Hannah Arendt, but they're the ones all-but saying we might as well get into the railcar
I don’t think you quite understand the stakes, there’s an actual Cheeto in the dang White House
Funneling into personal accounts
Thinking the last 40 years of American politics is equivalent to Germany 1918-1931 is some really smooth-brained shit lol
wishing i lived in this person’s imaginary world where there were sympathetic actors in government with enough power to effectuate change if adequate pressure was applied from the left
That’s not me condescending to you, that’s just me mocking you for being so indignant and insistent on your brilliant, novel comparison of Hitler and Trump (Now I’m condescending to you, by the way)
He literally delivered on a promise. That’s not me co-signing him doing the bare minimum to earn support.
I respect that they voted for what they want and believe they ought to get it good and hard.
Yeah that’s why your argument comes off as so painfully condescending
Yeah that’s not what I’m saying, but feel free to keep jerking yourself off about your ingenious conclusion that the dang Cheeto is just Orange Hitler
This is a deliberate misreading of my statement, but that trends with your general reading comprehension
I don’t think the regime understands what it means to actually earn the support of your base. They’re actively fucking them over and taking credit for it. Most Americans are not in favor of any of Trumps policies. At least Hitler delivered on the promises of Lebansraum
I don’t think you have any conception of how much worse and desperate conditions in Germany were during the 20s than in contemporary American history.
Not when destroying your own standing is directly affecting your popularity amongst your current and prospective base
The same amount of domestic support
His rise was not instantaneous and took place throughout the 20s, where most of his support came from young men and army veterans fresh off of a catastrophic conflict on their home front. Again, I think you’re working too hard to conflate these as identical situations. Trump doesn’t have nearly

Compared to paying for bread with wheelbarrows full of reichsmarks? Yes. The two scenarios are fundamentally different. The 80s didn’t take place against the backdrop of Versailles, coupled later with the Stock Market Crash.
reminding myself constantly that uh rich liberal democracies tend to [never?] fully degenerate into autocracy. the educated middle class hits back if things get shitty enough. the other side of me is thinking that social media has made this a different ball game. who knows tbh
Trump rose to power out of collective anger at perceived economic decline, Hitler rose to power out of collective anger at actual economic collapse. These two things are not the same.
I’m begging you to actually speak with a trans person irl before you continue posting bullshit online
I don’t want to hear shit about “the shooter was trans” from a media that has spent the last two decades painting every radicalized white male shooter as a lone wolf
gotta say, two days of president congestive heart failure screaming and shitting his pants over the great khan telling him to pound sand has not had the effect of making the president look stronger
It was always just a stay of execution
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most. Learn more:
Unfortunately in America I feel like I kind of agree with the phrase, considering the only way to bring the reactionary movement to heel is by speaking the only language they understand
Speaking of “polite societies” bsky.app/profile/diew...
One thing I believe is that the sheer material affluence of the United States is part of the reason why we're in this mess (belief that water comes from the tap and that things really can't get that much worse) is also another reason why this administration is sowing the seeds of its destruction
i think that people are conditioned by the absolutely tiny changes we have made over the past thirty years to believe that nothing is possible, but we built the administrative state in four years
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
