And there you have it. All the assholes who can’t stop blathering about freedom and liberty only give a shit about one thing: the freedom of the rich to own property.
I fear this is likely correct. Hard to believe some of y’all still haven’t figured out that there are no red lines for this cult.
Trump’s supporters have been following him out to sea for a decade now, excusing every transgression and whip-sawing on their own cherished principles over and over again in the process. They’re hopelessly far from solid ground now. The only fixed point in their ocean of moral chaos is Trump. For them, good and evil are defined at every moment only by his whim. Because there is literally nothing left to grab hold of.
The Bible? Pshaw. They’ve rewritten that shit in their heads 10 times over at this point.
The Constitution? Don’t get me started on MAGA’s devotion to the contextual opportunist approach to interpreting that once-sacred document.
Cherished 20th Century American values? Nope. These fuckers learned history through an incoherent patchwork of utopian tall tales fed to them by conmen.
Trump is their only moral compass.
I finally finished Andor earlier this week. It’s the best Star Wars content since 1981, by far. And unlike pretty much all Star Wars media since the original trilogy, it enhances rather than undermines the original story and characters. Just a phenomenal series that added well-crafted depth and weight to the lighthearted hero adventure of the OT.
The only downside is that this will get my hopes up and I’ll probably end up enduring several new shittastic movies or series that suck as bad as Obi-Wan and the sequels.
Andor -> Rogue One -> Original trilogy tells an interesting story. The rest is lame fan fiction and I assume it never happened. Canon is subjective. We don’t have to accept a bunch of hacky horseshit just because Lucas or Disney rubber stamped it.
CR Poster #1: *posts satirical content*
CR Poster #2: “Is that real? If so, holy shit.”
CR Poster #3: “Not real. But pretty funny.”
CR Poster #2: “Ah. I figured it was too crazy to be real. Still hilarious.”
CR Poster #1: “Yeah, sorry. It’s satire. Thought that was clear.”
Anastasis: “Haha! Y’all completely fell for mainstream media propaganda! You naive idiots will believe anything!”
Now way Trump came up with “Washington ComPost” himself. That’s like 5th grade level clever. Trump’s insult powers peaked out at remedial kindergarten.
The Texas Dems need to stop fucking around and start instructing their members to vote in the Republican primaries, for specific candidates. We aren’t going to win statewide elections any time in the near future. The best thing the party can do to help their constituents in the near term is push the few remaining non-fascist Republican candidates through to the general.
