"Discover your confidence." This is exactly what I am talking about. Chud roleplaying is big business and plays perfectly off of their insecurity with themselves.
Then why aren’t Republican candidates held to the same standard? I just think it’s weird Dems have to play the middle to win but Republicans can be fascists with zero fallout. There’s literally a Nazi running for Sec of State.
my nose is still turned up. betsy is a well-funded spoiler candidate so the republican can maybe win. i don't know anything about the republican but betsy is horrible.
Trust me I get it, I’m not arguing in favor of this ideology. I just know that Kelly has a really savvy team of people that understand their electorate and for whatever reason this is what it wants. He won McCain’s vacated seat two years ago on a centrist message so I’m expecting more of the same. It also really plays to his strengths because he is not a very charismatic mover and shaker type. He was a troop then an astronaut, and he comes off rigid and the chain of command type. People across the aisle and the 33% of independents in Arizona can tolerate voting for him.
Black rifle coffee is in Academy Sporting goods stores now so I guess it shouldn’t be surprising they’re just opening up nazi cosplay shops everywhere.
Exactly. I will not be removing his sign from my front yard thank you very much. I went to middle school with Blake Masters - he sucks bad.
Well let’s do hope it breaks down that way in the end and she siphons more away from Drazen than Kotek.
yeah I haven’t heard a single democratic voter say anything positive about her. Kotek is gonna win in a landslide even though she sucks.
Tucker pushing vaccine hesitancy and misinformation tonight. Criminal the shit they broadcast out to millions.
I have talked with Kotek before, she seemed like a pretty normal for a Portland Liberal. She also supported Organic farmers in the Valley so thats enough for me to like her.
I’m going to vote for her because their are no other options, but she is essentially running for a third (or second and a half) Brown term. - the issue of homelessness in the state is really complex. Her and others view on it though is essentially that the status quo is acceptable. - she’s a politician at heart. That includes having an active investigation into her conduct for threatening another democrat unless he voted for the pension reform (that member was a piece of shit, but the information largely supports his account of what happened). - The criminal justice system in Oregon is about to collapse. That is a direct result of her legislature refusing to adequately fund public defense. - The mental health and substance abuse system in Oregon has already collapsed due to inefficient spending by the legislature. That has directly contributed to #1.
I keep asking myself, at what point does Republican extremism get too crazy for itself, but the question never gets answered because it gets more batshit crazy every day.
its been a slow steady drip, but still waiting for some watershed moment where suburban whites zap out of their brainwash. Some moment happens that even the cult members try to escape. Instead seems like everyone is willing to go to Jonestown with the GOP.
There is no bottom. Every time they find a new low it’s covered as normal with zero pushback. You could argue Jake Tapper has done more damage to Democracy (lol) than any Republican alive.
The cool thing about the media and content environment we’ve created for ourselves is that there can’t be a moment like that because they’re insulated from it ever happening.
And there's basically no opposition presented by the Ds except for some of them to root for a strong R party. Because that's good for America.
The same Paul Walker who started dating a 16 y/o when he was 33 was digging into crimes against children?
Political identity with Republicans runs several generations for many northern voters. It’s tough to shake. The fastest growing county in Ohio in the northern Columbus suburbs almost went blue in 2020, but it’s only gone blue three times since 1860 and not since 1964.
JFC, they are not even pretending that they believe in a Democratic system of government anymore or that class/race/gender doesn't matter.
If we weren't all going to end up in a MAGA death camp, I would take humor in the fact that their "free society" involves not letting every adult vote.
Matt Walsh literally lied about having kids in public school so he could get filmed yelling at a school board about kids masking or lgbt support or whatever bs conservative outrage was being leveraged at that week
Fuck the founding fathers. They didn’t intend for everyone to be allowed to vote. We aren’t a democracy. Those two chuds are right about those things it’s scary AF seeing that they aren’t worried about saying the quite parts out loud anymore.
I think we’re on the cusp of DeSantis needing his own thread. His game is too strong to just be part of this thread
