“What happened to democracy???” Christ what do these people think democracy even is

All of these words they use - freedom, democray, etc. - are all words that hide what they really want: the ability to do, say, go and act however they want. Nobody is allowed to criticize them, nor are they to face any consequences for anything. Ever.

The fact that actions have consequences is something that happens to others. They should never, ever face consequences for anything.

Their entire worldview is to make themselves invincible from the law, and point the law at everyone they do not like.

Because they don't care.

They stood outside a school, while children were being murdered, and the chief got a promotion. There will be no consequences, and they are probably going to get a budget increase next year for their trouble.

They know all this, so they are expending zero effort to bullshit and relying on intimidation and the blue wall of silence. It will work, too.

This is all escalating really fast. This woman is just a puppet, meant to plant talking points into the base so this talking point comes from up high and will spread quickly. We went from wanting to ban books in school libraries to demanding to take kids from parents in an insanely short period of time, I shudder to think what happens next.

They arrest the parents for child abuse and send them into prison, some more liberal slaves for corproations (who also get their voting rights taken away, so win-win there). Send the kids to a Christian adoption agency where they can be brought up right, i.e. have the individuality beaten out of them.

That's the plan. The conservatives in this country know their numbers are dwindling, and apparently intend to increase their numbers by force.

The consequences for a conservative of dating a leftist is having to occasionally roll your eyes at someone who wants to recycle or run their mouth about some boring political thing they saw on the news. The consequences for a leftist of dating a conservative is feeling like you've signed up as a concentration camp guard because the money is good.

Also the conservatives frequently discuss killing leftists. Why be around people like that.

So it's a real brain trust situation over there. "Of course, he'll be skeptical of the FBI investigating Trump. The last time he signed off on it they only uncovered a ton of treason and a bunch of Trump associates got arrested. But no one was willing to prosecute Trump and they all got pardons from Trump, so obviously the FBI was wrong to investigate!!"

They've bought into the narrative of the "Russiagate hoax" so hard they requested the guy who probably knows more poo poo about Trump's criminal activities than anyone.

The only takeaway Republican leadership will get is "We need to stop talking about our extreme policies. We'll keep trying to implement them, but we'll stop talking about them"

They're going to try to put the mask back on, that was ripped off in 2016. Who knows if it will work. My guess is 'mostly'; about 10% of the base will stay home if Trump isn't the nominee. The rest? Their brains are play doh molded by fox news, they'll come around to Jeb Desantis or whoever the billionaires put up.

Trump will still wipe the floor in the primary debates. If he still loses nomination, I don't think he'll just slink away. He definitely seems like the guy who would go 3rd party and burn it all to the ground and point out the Dems won because they didn't back him.

We may see a return of the 2016 Republican primaries, where each candidate takes a turn to get support, get stomped on by trump, then drop out. The whole time, he'd threaten a write in campaign or 3rd party run.

I wouldn't be surprised if he says something about a possible 3rd party run tomorrow when he announces. "I may start a 3rd party if I win, I don't know. Lots of people are saying the Republicans won't give me the nomination, but I'm sure they will. If they don't, I may look into this third party thing."

This has been trending today



Which made me wonder about 2024. Twitter is going to be an absolute dumpster fire now that Muskrat is in charge and he fired almost everyone at twitter. The amount of bot boosted campaigns, astroturfing and plain old shilling is going to be off the charts.

Pretty sure Twitter will go bankrupt before the end of the year. Once the outages start (because ol musky got rid of modules that do stuff and fired people who kept the place running), people will go somewhere else and Twitter will be another far right backwater.

The good part of Twitter was being able to tweet at companies about stuff. You could united airlines to bitch about your lost luggage, and they'd jump to get it to you. You do that now and you'd get four or five different united airlines accounts (all verified) telling you to gently caress off.
