so much magical thinking around persuasive language amounts to thinking that you can hypnotize people into temporarily forgetting what they believe see also: democrats could have gotten 67 votes to convict donald trump if they had somehow impeached him better

In timeline B, scotus declares Trump immune in july of 2021 after AG Doug Jones arrests him immediately after being confirmed. Pundits and internet shitposters decry him as a failure for not taking the proper time to build an airtight case

I agree here, but theoretically we trans are protected under constitution.

well yeah but the point is that they don't care about theory, they have ideology cosplaying as theory

But making them say the hate out loud is a win of itself. Things are getting pretty dark, but we will find our resolve. Eventually the evil becomes the biggest fear, and then fear is no longer a tool of control.

There was probably a 10 minute window where they could’ve removed Trump while Romney was running for his life. But once the Republicans got their social media access again it was over.

nope you're still falling for it and believing there was some way to trick republicans into forgetting what party they were in, and there wasn't

The impeachment one is just maddening. I’ve asked true believers to identify the republican senators they think would have switched sides if right rock and no one has been able to because the last 5-7 votes would have had to have come from such implausible people that the delusion is unsustainable

I agree w/the 1st thought, but the problem is that it's "lib-coded? Really? You're right it's magical thinking—& the more extreme ends of the pol spectrum are most likely to engage in that. There are some ppl who are CALLED "centrist"—but are nothing more than R-wingers cosplaying as "liberal."

And they’re too lazy to say democrat or liberal they have to shorten the words and coin them as a woke buzzword. Because in their indecisive inconsistent brain they can’t have even a second of time for learning. Their brain is stuck at the iq of a two year old.
