2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

So ole Buzz is a fascist, after all. Just like Elon, who he praises in the Tweet. Fuck Buzz, Elon, and any one else involved with NASA for supporting Trump. -
2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
BevoAbyss replied to bolverk's topic in Cloak Room
There are millions of dudes like "Jared" in America. MILLIONS. Spoiled middle-aged white pricks who carry the water for MAGA and Trump. They are pathetic. I know one. Or should I say, I once knew one. A dude and friend I knew from UT. Middle class family. Great parents. But he was fucking spoiled! Oh, he worked and studied hard, but man did he feel self-entitled to everything he desired (Trigger warning 1). Was also New Wave. Loved Devo, The Cars, The Pretenders. And a generally fun dude who was also a player with the ladies. Also, a Libertarian (Trigger warning 2). We eventually lost touch for more than two decades. Out of nowhere, he tracks me down via social media. He's now twice divorced, two kids. I mention that I am headed to LA for business that summer. He invites me to his big ass beach pad outside San Diego. He's made a lot money, worth $14 million (for real). So, I take the bait and buzz down for a visit, top down on the convertible rent car. Great drive. This is late summer 2016, the election is in full gear. As I drive up, I see a Trump sign in his yard. He comes running out the door "I know you saw the sign, let's go get some tequila and tacos and we can discuss politics and economics." So we head to chic hipster place for tacos and tequila. Great food and drink. Fantastic. Many hot 25-50 year old Cali women. As we eat, drink and enjoy the talent, he spews out the biggest line of BS for supporting Trump. Unbelievable leaps in logic, absent facts. Hillary was coming for his money, was going to install SOCIALISM, would crash the stock market -- and he WOULD LOSE HIS $$$$ and BEACH MANSION. Because of socialism! He did not give a shit about the environment, climate catastrophe, the racism of Trump-MAGA. Only that which he thought might threaten his money and beach pad. Socialism! He literally believed that a vote for Trump was needed to save his fucking beach pad. He was dead serious. Believed that Hillary and Dems were coming for guys like HIM. They are coming for HIM and his way of life. It was literally insane. His eyes were bugging out at times. When I told eventually him (friendly manner) that his imagination was kinda going off the rails with regard to facts and logic, he got pissed. Then trashed one of my books, he claimed he read, and then crudely insulted one of my other more creative works. So I told him to fuck off. I picked up the damn check (didn't want to a lazy poor libtard) ... stood up ... turned and told him to never contact me again ... he said something under his breath and headed for the door ....and I walked over to the smoky brunette at the bar who gave me smile. TLDR Fuck these spoiled entitled dudes who support Trump-MAGA. -

They haven't abandoned their values. The MAGA worldview expresses their values. At least as the MAGA worldview emerged over the past 40 years since Reagan. Bottom line: They are voting for what they believe, for what they are, for the world they want. -

Better yet. Imagine UT trails by 5 in the national championship game, with 45 seconds left in the game. Longhorns have the ball on the opponent's 10-yard line, with a first down, 4 shots to win, with QE as QB and Sark calling the plays. Plus, we all remember the Washington game last year. Speaking for myself, I have near-zero confidence Texas scores to win the title. (If VY is the QB, I am 100% confident and already celebrating the title.) -

Pretty sure that Trump-Musk-MAGA-fascist Nazi rally puts the lie to the wise ole Surly lawyers telling us the legal system works, albeit slowly. Lulz. Trump, a Nazi fascist, is walking all over the legal system. I'll believe it when I see it ... if any legal justice is served to Trump and the Jan 6 ringleaders. Sorry, but I always thought the Surly law dogs couldn't see the towering fast-growing fascist forest for the trees.... they are too busy discussing the lawful and most appropriate use of a chainsaw that meets all forestry specifications. -

For the record, I have been offering similar warnings and observations about the collapse and trends -- for over two decades, just not in Surly, but often in public forums/settings/etc. Almost everyone (98%) was in denial and most probably still are. Welcome to American Exceptionalism. FAFO. And now the Christian-fascist-nazi theocracy is here. That's why I'm over the ledge.... past brisket! -

My blood runs back very far in deep time, to about 9 billion years ABB (After the Big Bang). -- That's when the solar system was formed from a supernova, an exploding star that spawned the ingredients for me to exist and be alive. -

The Ivy League grad as "elite thinkers" is the perhaps most overrated bullshit in the history of America. And they have fooled America for centuries. Political leaders from the Ivy League have done more political and international damage to America than leaders from all other universities combined. All because they think they "know better ... are smarter (etc.)" than the rest of us. I spent some time in Corporate America (three decades ago) and had to work on some projects with many Ivy Leaguers. They were fucking elitist privileged Frat/Sorority types who had zero business or creative sense and had their position on because of the degree. Just corporate drones. Yet thought they were capitalist geniuses! To say they smugly and arrogantly looked down on UT grads (or anyone from a state university) might be an understatement. Fuck that and fuck the Ivy League. -

You left out Christian fascist. Amazing how many times that happens on Surly. The connecting through line for 98% of MAGA is Christian Evangelical Fundamentalist Creationist Fascist. -

BevoAbyss replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Does that include not being able to score late TDs to win or close out games? -- Such as first down from the 5 yard line, to put Vandy away. -- Such as having 4 shots from inside the 15 to beat Washington and go to championship game. -- Such as not scoring 7 v OU in last minute in 2022 ... thus OU gets 7 and wins. -- Such as not scoring 7 v Bama in 2022 ... thus Bama gets 3 to win. So far, Sark is not a great late game coach. It is a recurring problem. So far, he is not a great adapter to defenses that stop Texas offense. It is a recurring problem. To win national titles, Sark needs to be much better. With Sark or Arch or whoever is QB. No excuses. -

Why are y'all engaging with a lackey for MAGA-GQP Christian fascism? The hypocrisy, inaccuracies, and overall idiocy are astronomical. -

Just think, the world's two leading "space entrepreneurs' are Elon Musk, a long-known fascist, and Jeff Bezos, who cowardly bent the knee before Donald Trump, the fascist leader of MAGA, America's fascist political party. Musk and Bezos are not space visionaries. One is a fascist and the other a fascist lackey. These dudes show they don't care about any of the people being targeted or oppressed by MAGA, as long as profits or tax breaks can be had. And their space visions are a far cry from enlightened, just more Manifest Destiny colonization and capitalism. Of course, SpaceX is now headquartered in Texas and Bezos's Blue Origin has launch facilities in Far West Texas. No surprise, they get huge tax breaks! So Bezos had to bend the knee to Trump to also signal to Abbott and Paxton he will not challenge the MAGA regime. Five decades after Houston's Mission Control led humanity on perhaps its single greatest achievement, the Apollo moon landings, NASA now awards contracts to SpaceX and Blue Origin led by a fascist and a fascist lackey. That's right, NASA, the single greatest science organization in the history of the human species is now in bed with fascism. And it is all centered in Texas, now ground zero for what can only be called space fascism. That's just fucked in all dimensions. -
You're right, my ideas are a danger to dudes like you. But, sorry, I don't drink with Christian fascist bootlickers.

MAGA is a mass coma.... complete mass brain death. Just the way their Christian fascist leaders and billionaire exploiters like it.

How? Here are some key reasons: Cowardly legacy media and cowardly billionaires who refuse to stand up to Trump and MAGA. And/or billionaires who agree with Trump/MAGA. That's how! -

Too little, too late. Won't be too hard to find "editors" who will kneel before the MAGA Fuhrer for a huge paycheck and proximity to fascist power in action and all the "news" that will generate. Pre-WW2 Nazi Germany is the historical model Team MAGA and Team Billionaire are following. -

Ha! Houston Chronicle endorses Kamala and shows way more courage than WaPo and LA Times and all the TV media. I am not from Houston, but I am from Texas ... and I am damn proud to see that paper stand up to Christian fascism... at least on the editorial page. -

Glad to hear some of y'all are canceling. I let my NYTimes subscription expire sometime in the late 1990s-early 2000s. Never bothered with WaPo except browsing through the copies at Borders Books. Felt like a clone of the NYTimes. Got so tired of NYTimes "both sides" coverage of the rising Christian fascism and general "right wing" political idiocy... such as Patrick Buchanan and Ross Perot, both of whom who prefigure Trump. -

100,000% Spot on. The powerful legacy media (NYT, WaPo, CNN, LATimes and all the others) have absolutely enabled MAGA and Trump since Day Fucking One! From the beginning, it was obvious Christian fascism in 2016. But the media were wedded to supposedly being fair to "both sides" ... and now they kneel and cower before one side. Spineless cowards to the very end. Very much like the mass media in Weimar Germany. -

Roma, you're bringing back some great memories! After finishing my Friday afternoon office hour as a TA in late 80s, I damn near always grabbed an Austin Chronicle. -- Read it while at Texadelphia for cheesesteak/chips/salsa/iced tea and downing a couple of carafes of coffee at Les Amis. -- Loved the "News of the Weird" section. Hard to believe those people and their descendants became fascists and might well run the country. -- If I did not meet some artsy-fartsy brainy lefty chick at Les Amis and go drink/dance for rest of evening, I would head to the PCL to take advantage of near empty library on Friday nights. Got a lot of grad research done on Friday nights. As a bonus for me, the single dude, it was quite surprising how many good-looking brainy cool single women were at the PCL on Friday nights. -- After PCL, I (and the cool women I would sometimes meet) headed to a bar for some late night tequila. Good times! -

I'll tell ya who the bigger "waistoids" are: All those frat boy fascists who've been rolling through McCombs for decades ... without having to think deeply and critically about pretty much anything serious ... that counters their naive Team Corporate Conservative Christian America worldview. -
Unless this election is some kind of massive blowout win for Kamala, there will be trouble. And even a blowout might not be enough. Of course, we know Trump is going to contest a loss. Any loss. Maybe it is because I am not religious, not patriotic, not worshipper of the military, that I see a huge problem coming. For Trump to attain power and impose their worldview, many in MAGA-GQP will help or enable the killing of Americans. How do we know? They have already done it. 1. By not wearing masks, not vaxxing, and not caring when they helped kill a million Americans during a fucking deadly global pandemic. -- Let's be clear: COVID empowered Americans to enact random violence against fellow citizens. ("Ultraviolence" in Clockwork Orange). Hospitals stacked to the rim with dead bodies. Sure, they killed a lot their own. But COVID is the lesson: They do not care if Americans die for their worldview. In fact, COVID proved that's the case. 2. The mass shooting of American school kids does not concern them enough to restrict gun access. Their guns and worldview are more important than school kids living. Or the brown people at an El Paso Walmart. 3. They are enacting medical violence against women by restricting reproductive health care. Some have already died or will die. MAGA-GQP do not care. 4. How would 14 million people be deported without violence? MAGA-GQP are primed for violence. Repeat: They do not care who dies for their worldview, steeped in violent Christian fascism. History is clear on that. So we are supposed to think they will mind if Americans have to die to get Trump in office and their worldview back in total power? Would we be surprised if many cops and some military will support them? We know Fox, Wall Street Journal, NY Post and other lackey media will back Trump. Bottom line, many in MAGA-GQP are willing for Americans to die for their worldview and world. And Trump is the Fuhrer of their world. What that political violence looks like, I am not sure. But it's likely coming to get their Fuhrer in power. Hope I'm wrong.
