Nevermind.

And really, if he had done that, told his supporters that getting the vax is a good thing, is what a real American would do, he’d probably still be in office. It would have allowed the conservatives who aren’t stupid enough to look down a gun barrel to see if it’s loaded vote for him in bigger numbers.

Hah! Patton. That’s perfect. Patton regularly repeated the speech you hear at the start of that movie. And in that speech he says words to the effect of, you don’t win a war by dying for your country. You win by letting the other poor bastard die for his country. He would howl with laughter at the Trump cult’s…

I believe ignoring the blindingly obvious cognitive dissonance is proof of membership.

About a year ago I started having the family use a squeegee on the walls of the shower once they’re done.  My youngest is 19 so not too much to ask of them. It forces a lot more of the water down the drain rather than waiting for it to evaporate to then be vented. Keeps it drier in there in general. Seems like it…

“In Texas, 8957 out of 9000 deaths were among the unvaccinated. Honestly, I’ve never exactly shed a tear for these people, but now, I’m actually slowly getting more and more convinced that this is for the better.”

Well, crazy all on it’s own just ain’t no fun at all.  Crazy people always want other people to come along on the ride.  What’s the point otherwise?

I **might** be shocked if I were to learn that the GOP has a secret-not-so-secret requirement for sexual assault allegations for its candidates. Either now or in the very near future. What better way to prove the oppression of rich white men. Keep driving that base further toward the edge of the cliff, you crazy…

Well, they said they wanted to go back to the 1950s. Maybe they’ll get their wish. If they try hard enough I’ll just bet they can bring about full scale cholera outbreaks. Ah, the good old days. You know, when we use to poop in our own water supply.  Hatred nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

You seem to think the Trump attributes you describe are “bugs”. They are in fact “features”.

I think the real problem is not the drinking and driving.  It’s people who can’t write about in the NYT, and use that ever so academic passive voice to make it all feel, oh so right.

It’s nice but not at $6k. Guess they want you to pay an extra $2k for nostalgia. At $6,000 you could get a used Miata if you wanted better looks and more ‘sporting’. I bought exactly the same year and model - in ‘blech’ brown - back in ‘88 and loved it. You’d be at 70 on the highway without a thought, and it felt…

Why it was so sexy, it had a garter belt - the green band tying top and bottom together. Dude even tosses it to the side to get to the good parts in the video.

Yeah. Natural wellness. Super fun plan everybody! Maybe if they try hard enough they can get all nutritional supplements removed from our food supply. No more Vitamin D in the milk. Iodine in the salt, treatment of the water supply, treatment of our sewage. What a wonderful, panacea - of death - awaits!

I think your post is sideways to the point of the article. I believe the point of the story isn’t so much why is the current form of “conservative” speech so popular. The point is, the more extreme or outrageous a position is, the more the Facebook algorithm tends to amplify it - and now Facebook wants to make that as…

Hold me closer tiny camper ...

Jumping to conclusions.  I am world class in the field.

Your article got me thinking about reparations. And then I ran across this article in The Guardian - https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jun/30/climate-crimes-oil-and-gas-environment.

I think that lack of concern for your supporters has become part of the appeal, somehow. Anti-logical behavior is now the hallmark of being part of the ‘movement’. And so I guess we have the literal definition of a cult. Just look at Texas recently making it easier to get and carry a gun. Too many people being shot -…
