Pops yelled at me on J6 while accusing me of being a member of Antifa. Imagine spouting right wing talking points fed to you by shit bags like Hannity at your only son instead of taking 5 seconds to think things through or ask a question. One of the angriest and saddest days of my life. I'm not staying home only to protect my sanity, I'm afraid I'll say something he can't handle and he'll off himself. I am incapable of repressing shit and putting on a happy face so, home it is.
First of all I would've said "You better believe I'm antifascist" and then I might swung on my dad Luckily I don't have these problems in my family as we don't fuck with that and ostracize folks in our family who do.
Man, I'm so close to cutting my dad out of my life now that my mom is in a more stable environment and he's never said anything nearly as bad to me since Trump was elected the first time. I've never tried to engage anymore on that shit unless verrrry lightly, these people need to feel abandoned by their family to even come close to having a single tiny ounce of self reflection.
Luckily it was on the phone, unluckily I was driving on the interstate. Had to pull over and walk it off.
The autoworker stuff is the most infuriating because Biden and Obama have been two of the most pro union (obviously biden is the pro union one not so much Obama)/pro auto worker presidents of most of those mother fuckers lifetimes and they've openly rejected the things that have been done for them by the democratic party. There's ZERO reason those folks shouldn't be voting for the Republican party at the same clip black Americans do.
Unsure what it was like for you but 2020/covid/George Floyd and police abuse/j6 all had everything come to a head after years of boiling frustration. The only thing that ended it was threat of never seeing me or my family again. It's like, I hope your insane beliefs are worth a lot to you because that's all you'll have. I believe I said something like "I hope one of your Fox News hosts is at your funeral so someone is there." We patched it up after months of not speaking but it's never been even close to the same.
Trends over the past decade + are why I think it’s possibly foolish to boil the results down to “burger cheap” as lyrtch points out. A notable factor, yes. Ultimately, social media was pretty much unregulated. Podcasts aren’t accountable to the FCC. The regulatory state shit itself because octogenarians and front of the class dweebs run the dem party. No amount of calling Rogan a dumbass blunted his influence. I stopped listening to him probably around 2016/17 and he’s got exponentially more popular.
exactly. He is going to get his wet dream fantasy of end game. Things he never imagined. Entire state is going to be stripped down, pillaged, destroyed. Thats been the aim of Buckley and also John Birch acolytes from the beginning. Mitch just wanted the facade of the Fox entering the hen house to not be that of a bloviating lunatic.
All good. I just couldn’t mentally handle what’s coming for the next four years and just post like it’s whatever. Same, hate if people want, but I hope everything we think will happen will. I cared with all my heart for over a decade and nothing. Now I want everyone to learn about consequences of racism.
I feel like the auto bailouts prevented a pain that many of those unionized auto workers didn't fully feel to understand the terror of what is to come in 2025 and beyond for that industry.
I feel terrible for you guys who have immediate family members who are maga. I never had to deal with that and I don't know how I'd react.
It's awful and isolating. So, when people say some of the white/straight/etc etc etc dudes in here don't have a lot to lose because of this shit...yeah nothing except our parents/brothers/sisters/best friends. Not trying to compare plights. I just fucking hate it so much.
I listened to the Chris Hayes podcast, pretty good stuff. Thought the bit about the financial crisis being the death of pro-business conservatism was interesting
There's really no point in staying engaged until Trump takes office and starts doing all the shit. That's when we get to swoop back in and throw it in the face of the idiots who never thought the leopards would eat THEIR face.
speaking of that gif, that sort of thing is encouraged now https://bsky.app/profile/rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social/post/3lbs36b6kx22n
I think anyone who voted for Trump should get enough black eat heroin to go on a week long bender. If you own maga gear you get a month supply
roberts is going to die in that spot. He's the ultimate norms cuck who thinks that he alone can save the reputation of the court.
These useless fucking cunts. I’m sure this tidbit of trivia will be useful when migrants are being shoved into box cars
same kinda stupid ass shit the gop would be posting. This is all candidate driven and why the “strong man” is desired because they cut through the status quo were disappointed in. It’s gonna take a force of will as the candidate in 2028.
Even this doofus can't get on board with paxton's bullshit Judge Kacsmaryk, the Trump-appointed judge in TX where GOP forum shoppers like to file, has rejected as “unserious” a lawsuit by TX AG Ken Paxton to order Jack Smith to retain records. Maybe we still have some guardrails after all. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...k-smith-paxton-texas-kacsmaryk-trump-records/
I didn't get very far into that one because it seemed like it was Plouffe talking about how much progress they made. Harris went from 33 favorable to 48 (and apparently even higher after the election somehow). That's an impressive accomplishment but she still lost to someone half the country hates
I now may have to pay back the $50,000 in student loans I owe but I’ll be saving 25 cents per dozen eggs I buy so the libs are owned
Agreed. I didnt make it all the way through it because it was basically what you said. Not excuse making but framing it in 'there wasnt much else we could do". There's always something you could have done. But also that tweet dragging Pod Jon is really low IQ stuff. THey did push back and asked questions. However anything short of Pod Jons yelling at Ploufe wouldnt have satisfied that tweeter imo
