Same, which is why I’m assuming that I’m misinterpreting what I’m looking at. My interpretation doesn’t make any sense, but for somebody who’s never looked at whatever that is, that’s what it looks like it’s saying? It’s probably obvious to people who look at that shit every day, but I’m not sure if the “mentions” are correlating to what’s in the search bar looking thing or what. Or maybe “mentions” is jargon with a different meaning? Idk.

Who watches the watchmen?

The best is yet to come.

I’ll be the idiot who admits to being an idiot. What does this graph mean? Is that just raw mentions of “r/conservative” across the internet as grouped by day? Is it meaningful to see spikes alternating with dips? If what the meme is saying were true, what would this graph look like and why? I’m far from an expert in this and I’m curious.

While that might be true, I’m concerned that a lot of them are cowards, too cowardly to admit to pollsters that they’re still gonna vote for Republicans, too cowardly to even research what Democrats and independents are offering, and too cowardly to ever break their routine of showing up to vote for Republicans every time.

It’s awfully telling that that’s a scary thing for them. They don’t want to be sentenced to being treated the way that they treat women. They don’t want to be “inferior” people. It’s also why they’re so transphobic. They can’t understand why anybody would ever want to give up being a man to become a woman, so they must be getting something out of it, like probably an unfair advantage in sports or to look at women in locker rooms or something. They’re incapable of really empathizing with anybody whose life experience is different from theirs, even just with people who are still white and cis and hetero, but are women. So non-white and/or non-cis and/or non-hetero just absolutely does not compute. They think that their simple, privileged, suburban or rural experience is what 95% of the country is.

Sure, if that’s what his tombstone will read.

There are (half) dozens of us!

FTFY

Probably some skibidi moptop shit that’s not meant for us. And that’s okay.

Idk, I feel like anybody who cheers for a specific person, no matter what they say, refusing to think critically or consider disagreeing, is a fucking moron. Even if he didn’t mean to directly call them stupid, he’s still indirectly calling them stupid imo.

The inverse is also true. I don’t automatically disagree with everything trump says just because he’s a stupid, hateful, narcissistic fascist. I’m glad he discontinued the penny, is against changing clocks for the DST switches twice a year, and the quick rollout of COVID vaccines was a big win. I can’t think of anything else off the top of my head, but it’s important to acknowledge good shit even if it comes from a child raping dipshit. I’m not gonna pretend that I like the penny just because an adjudicated rapist dislikes the penny, and I also don’t like the pants-shitting fuckface just because we agree that changing clocks is dumb as fuck.

A lot of people liked Kanye’s music, and since coming out as an unapologetic Nazi, a lot of those people are not Kanye fans anymore. Those ex-fans adapted in ways that these forever trumpers are incapable of. Because they’re fucking stupid.

retreading the same ground this soon

Nobody asked, but the first movie came out in 2001, which was 25 years ago. The time between Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace was 16 years. Indiana Jones 4 was 19 years after The Last Crusade. Gladiator II was 24 years after Gladiator, and people were asking why bother after such a long time. “Oh, but the most recent one came out way later than 2001!” Yep. 2011. 15 years ago. It’s older than Gangnam Style.

I’m not that interested in this new Potter show, but let’s not pretend that the movies just came out a couple years ago. Time is just speeding by. You didn’t have back pain when you first saw quidditch on the big screen, but you do now.

We got beloved octogenarians, now a hated octogenarian and child rapist; almost there. I’d love to open that particular bottle of bourbon in 2026.

“Do fermented beets cure the plague? Say yes.”

This is what I don’t understand about anybody who disagrees with you. What is the point of the entire concept of society, of civilization, of government, of organizing people into any sort of group if not to raise the basic quality of living? If you don’t believe in the concept of a society, then fuck off and stop influencing and benefitting from the very thing that you’re trying to dismantle.

Furthermore, not only is it the moral and ethical thing to do to take care of all of us, but it’s an investment that pays dividends because healthy and safe people become productive people who will in turn raise a generation of productive people and so on and so forth. So even if you’re a ghoul who lacks empathy and only looks at the bottom line, it still just makes sense to feed and educate and clothe and house the people. And even if you’re able to easily provide those basics for yourself and your family, that just means more expendable income to juice the economy when you buy the goods and services that you want instead of just spending it on needs.

“Oh no, but then we’d get a ton of immigrants!” Okay? And what, we get a population boom of productive people just in time for boomers to retire and die? And that’s supposed to be bad? Kinda seems like an ideal solution.

The only explanation that I can find is that these people are either too dumb to think that far ahead or they’re too cruel to want to end suffering for anybody that isn’t them. In both cases, I don’t know what the solution is, but they’re so plentiful that it’s hard to imagine a Star Trek utopian society ever coming to fruition. It’s hard to have hope for the future with so many bastards insisting that humanity has already peaked and we need to regress to improve.

Ah okay. Phew. I thought that was part of the ackchyually haha.

Where I come from, 13-16 years old is not yet a grown woman. Those qualify as children. Girls, not women.

Sometimes, ya gotta punish people loudly as a deterrent. Nazis, I mean. Let’s not save the Nazis.

Rs are incredibly unpopular right now, which is why an R+30 district might flip blue, like I said. Why are you anticipating a red wave? I think it’s unlikely to get a Fetterman-proof majority in the Senate, but the House is almost certainly flipping blue. Local races are also likely flipping blue. It’s important to temper expectations, but I don’t understand your position or even the point of stating it.

Did you even read the article of this post?

Good thing she’s doing more than that then? I live in the district that she’s running in, and it would be enough to just not be Ben Cline, but she actually has ideas. Read the article if you want to know a couple of them. She’s not the exciting progressive that I want, but she’s somebody who actually has the ability to turn an R+30 district blue right now. It’s absurd that that’s even on the table, but that’s just how badly Rs are fucking up lately.

They are, but it’s because that’s just how that ugly mf looked. Probably a genetic disorder from inbreeding or something.
