capitalized words are important and carry more weight you see. it's the written equivalent of sense stress

they don't even do it properly though. in most cases, their use of it is less

"This statement is FALSE!" (makes sense)

and more

At least 72 million Americans read the president's tweets, nod along, and say "you tell it like it is, Mr. President!"

what exactly is it with unhinged people capitalizing random words? every time there is some local election the usual local windbags inevitably send out letters to the whole town, which are basically crazy facebook rants printed out and mailed, and in every case, without exception, they capitalize random words. in some cases the people doing this are lawyers and professors, so you would think that they would know how to write properly. unsurprisingly, their punctuation and sentence structure is terrible as well

e: and one extremely obnoxious rear end in a top hat in particular is under 40, so it's not exclusively an old people thing

im going to be honest here

only around 500k of the most unhinged americans read his tweets and agree with them and care enough to get into internet slap fights defending their large wet lad

72 million americans took a look at trump and took a look at biden and decided that biden sucked more, only a portion of those people are the type that wear maga hats and get in unhinged screaming matches

and of course the shitlibs went from loathing to loving bolton because he wrote a book ripping on trump. a book which he wrote because he was speeding to the white house with a massive boner over finally being able to bomb iran after they shot down that drone, only to be left with blueballs after trump wouldn't sign off on his plan because it went way beyond an appropriate proportional response

let that sink in: bolton is so crazy that trump is the voice of reason in comparison

yeah its this

ngl i grew up in a predominantly white middle class working town. i didn't have any desire to give a poo poo about the world around me until i was in my late 20s, so i can 100% relate to looking at a 10 second summary of each candidate and then making a knee jerk decision based on personality alone. biden = boring, same old politician, trump = doesn't give a poo poo ("like me!", they think), says what he wants. who do you think most late teens and 20-somethings are gonna vote for?

after the first 2020 debate i was amazed at how many people were suddenly surprised by trump's behavior and i didn't understand why. has nobody been paying attention the past 4 years? turns out most people in fact literally werent. the reason people are finding out now is that the pandemic has everyone glued to their phones and there's nothing better to do except watch the world burn down in real time.

tldr you can urge the young people to vote all you want but they are still going to make ignorant decisions because they are young and dumb and have no perspective yet.

boltons book is kind of amazing because like every five pages he boasts about his clever ideas that obama would never have done, pitches it to trump, is ignored, then turns around and says 'but this time I'll get him!' and does it again. ive never seen such dedication to publishing ones own hubris with such pride (and yes ive read my posts)

I think i made it about a quarter of the way through and stopped reading. im going to guess the rest of the book is just own after own as he turns into a mustache with a corncob pipe

i recall a year or so ago seeing someone link a snopes article to refute some right-wing conspiracy theory, and the chuds immediately responded that snopes is part of the left wing fake news and is run by SJW clintonistas and don't you know you can't trust garbage sites like that.

it shouldn't surprise me at this stage but i am still impressed by the chud brain capacity to just reject reality when it doesn't align with their beliefs. zero self-reflection, zero cognitive dissonance. the totally apolitical fact-checking site says my guy lied? no he didn't. this must be the work of george soros

i read some of fear, but I couldn't get into the writing style. it felt too novelized, I suppose. I'd read it after reading bad blood and I think I expected a more factual start that eased into reconstructed conversations, not starting in that realm, or maybe dipped into them like how the smartest guys in the room does

maybe that's partly from it being published in the moment, while those other two are post mortem. I haven't read any of woodwards other books so I'm not sure if that's even his normal style

we saw in wuhan in jan and italy in march that once your icu units are full mortality for hospitalized cases can climb to 7-10%, pushing the overall case mortality rate up above 2%. that's already started happening in specific places like el paso and the sturgis plaguelands, and i expect it to become the norm in a few more weeks, and pretty much universal by the end of the year. so we'll be looking at 5k+ dead per day.
