  1. The United States of America ended when "because it makes the other side mad" became an acceptable reason for enacting policy. It's one thing to have your set of beliefs and a desire to promote them, while knowing and accepting that there will be an opposition force to these ideals that will likely disapprove. But what has happened in America is "lib tears" is the entire justification for many of these actions. Not bettering the country. Not tangible progress for the community. Merely "look how mad it will make the people I disagree with." Actively cheering on stuff purely based on how much it hurts your neighbor is some DARK shit. And it is our new Constitution.
  2. Nazi salute happened again, and the CPAC crowd cheered. video: https://imgur.com/a/former-white-house-chief-strategist-steve-bannon-sig-heils-cpac-today-FIuEqCr
  3. Genuinely, I appreciate your presence in this thread. I believe you are arguing in good faith, not trolling, and providing a clear depiction of your thoughts. My question is this: you’ve expressed a few beliefs in this thread that appear to align closer with traditional Democratic Party views than Republican. What made you able to say “I don’t agree with Republicans on guns/abortions/etc, yet I will still give them my vote” but made you unable to do the same with transgender issues and the Democratic Party? Do you prioritize the transgender issue above everything else in the country? Or were there other critical issues to you where you align closer with Republicans? (Adding in the obvious disclaimer that very few Democrats were openly campaigning on the transgender topic, it was generally just fodder lobbed by the opposition.)
  4. Spoiler for 2028: You're gonna hate whoever the Democrats nominate, even if you have absolutely zero misgivings about that person currently. Don't forget that for about 3 months, the Republican messaging machine managed to turn the most milquetoast old white guy in America into the second coming of Satan once he became the VP nominee... and then, shockingly, all of the concerns about him went away once the election ended. To anyone who even slightly is susceptible to right wing viewpoints, there will NEVER be a candidate that is "good enough" from the Dems. The media machine will ensure it.
  5. Do you know what we call the Germans that voted for Hitler, even if they didn't personally hate Jews?
  6. 995ers having absolutely no clue about staffing hires is one of my favorite Sark traditions.
  7. r/Conservative is normally one of the bleakest locations on the internet, but reading the comments here - even they aren't buying Trump's bullshit on this.
  8. But you bet your ass there will be a bunch of new RED EAGLE JESUS ACADEMY type schools that will be built on the premise of accepting them.
  9. The lack of blood and fire is such an indictment on our country.
  10. Most liberals like national parks. It’s as simple as that. Most republicans do too, but they’ll change their mind when told to do so.
  11. What the fuck do you get out of this? Sign off, go outside, live your life. I can't think of a more meaningless existence than being the contrarian message board guy.
  12. The downfall of this country can essentially be singlehandedly traced back to Rupert Murdoch.
  13. No one in history has ever needed to be Luigi'd more. edited to add: not advocating for it, of course.
  14. They continue to allow their enemy to define them to a vast majority of the country. While I still think she should have attempted to do it, admittedly Kamala going on Rogan the week before the election would have felt pretty forced. But if the Dems start laying the groundwork now and getting these shows to start booking folks from the left, it will 1) expose the audience to a new set of ideas and 2) set the stage for the big guns to make an appearance in 2028.
  15. The only people who would hear what was said in these press conferences are the people who already talk politics on bluesky. Dems need to infiltrate TikTok. They need to learn how to beat the algorithms and get their message in front of everyone. They need to have successful non-political podcasts that occasionally wade into leftist ideals. The need a communications plan that was developed after 1996. Daily press conferences is the dorkiest solution imaginable, and therefore the likely path forward at this point.
  16. Between his wealth, his platform, and his complete disregard for truth, I'm not sure there's ever been a more dangerous person in our country.
  17. Or the government will just start influencing/bribing judges and juries to give them the verdict they want, because who is gonna punish them?
  18. #nailedit
  19. My company has officially started referring to the "Gulf of America" in public communications, and pretty much any employee resource group that could be tangentially associated with "DEI" has been told to stand down. Historically, leadership at this company has been much further left than many other in the industry. It's so much more demoralizing than I expected it to be.
  20. He singlehandedly had the power to stop this, all of it, if he would have whipped for impeachment after January 6. While the blood may be on Trump's hands, Mitch gave him the knife.
  21. As someone who hasn't really gotten to know 2026 names yet, this is the craziest collection of words I've ever read.
  22. One infinity stone remaining.
