Morrow posted:Yeah, at the end of the day only crazy is getting through the primary. 2016 was a slow burn of more and more Republicans abandoning anything but blind hate as they coalesced around Trump while the rest of the field whittled itself down. In 2024 they're going to embrace it right out of the gate and the only question is whether it'll be Trump himself or a Trump-endorsed candidate. I'll be honest, I kinda suspect the opposite. Like, obviously there's going to be a clown car of crazy, but nobody has that special brand of oafish boor charisma that Trump brought to the table. They may say the right racisms and do the right white power salutes, but they're just not going to be able to make it stick like Trump could. Granted, a lot depends on what Biden is actually able to accomplish by then, but I think the 2024 Republican candidate is going to be a return to the quieter sort of sociopath.

skeleton warrior posted:That’s literally the opposite of what happened, though. Trump came down the escalator and literally all his opponents said “this guy’s a clown, there’s no need to give a poo poo about him” and kept going after each other, with a Walker being the first target and then Jeb! after. Even after Trump won NH, Rubio and Christie were still fighting each other more than Trump. Yeah it was like each primary candidate went calmly to their own floor and waited for Trump take them each out Enter the Dragon style.

One of the reasons reactionaries like trump is that despite incredible word-salad performances every time he spoke for more than a few minutes, he was just a dumb bully who would say Biden has a small sick or is gay if anyone asked him a policy question.

The Democratic State Party is still trying hard to get rid of AOC after all this time. Ah yes, the politics of the early 2000s are a 1:1 match for politics in our post-2016 era. Yep, that tracks, I'm sure the city that voted almost 70% Biden is going to suddenly whiplash into voting a Republican mayor. I do not understand how multiple people in US politics threads, across a long timeframe, fail to grasp that polarization cuts both ways. We talk about GOP voters voting for leopards that eat their faces, well, there's an absolute shitload of Dems that do the exact same behavior—vote for the same party regardless of what they complain about or whoever that party runs. New York City has probably the highest concentration of those voters in the entire country, even. Also, like was pointed out above, if there's a covid-fueled backlash against NY Dems, then how do you explain NY Dems suddenly gaining supermajorities in both state legislative chambers

Nine months ago Seattle City Attorney's Office sued the City Council for banning the use of war crime weapons because such an action for the common good and moral welfare interfered with the DOJ's consent decree. So enjoy all potential local reform that could happen post-Chauvin verdict being stymied by federal interference for decades.

"It's time for us millennials to grow up, I say, in my article that is self-admittedly regurgitating my father's opinions." quote:Psychology 101 teaches us that mortality salience, sometimes more affectionately termed “death anxiety,” spurred by an acute event can be a real game changer, particularly if it’s experienced for a sustained period of time. And if you haven’t been paralyzed by a very primal (and very legitimate) fear of dying this past year, then I’m not sure you’ve been awake. Even the trusty millennial brunch couldn’t drown out the debilitating terror that was 2020. After all, where could we brunch? Now some of you might have been struggling to make ends meet and maybe staying the gently caress away from parents during a pandemic, even at significant emotional cost, but surely there can't be too many of you in that boat. I mean, you all just spent a year mooching off of mom and dad too, right? It's not like any of you were doing something noteworthy last year, right?

And heck, airports have developed a bunch of methods for getting rid of drones in their airspace. Keeping the airspace directly above a CVN clear of enemy aircraft of any size should be top priority, I think a lot of people dropped the ball on this one.

They probably were fully aware of the drone and had something aimed at it or easily could have. But if they were reasonably sure it wasn't going to initiate hostilities shooting it down would have been more trouble than it was worth diplomatically. Of course if it actually did drop something on the carrier, poo poo would have gotten real fast and both sides know this

It was the tragedy of the commons playing out live in front of us. If the moderate/business wing of the party had winnowed down to even just two candidates prior to New Hampshire or South Carolina, one of them would likely have won (definitely if there was only one moderate/business wing), with Cruz a weak third, and Super Tuesday would have been a fight. But that would involve the five assholes fighting for that role to step back and let someone else have that role, and you don't run for President if you're the kind of person who looks at having 5% in a popularity poll and thinks maybe you don't have a chance. It was more important to each of them to still be in the fight for that one role than to make sure that Trump didn't lead the party.
