Bingo.

The phrase "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" exists for a reason -- it is BEST applied in situations of fighting an existential threat, which Trumpism definitely is.  You wanna get on the wall and defend it against the MAGA assault?  Step right up, here's your weapon.  We'll deal with the rest of our differences after we've repelled the assault.

I do celebrate the crossover voter, call a Cheney or Michael Hayden or Olivia Troye what you want- at least it was an ethos that guided their actions. Happy to welcome them with their convictions, even though I’m still horrified by many of the things they’ve been involved in. I agree - give a small number of conservatives a permission framework to break from their party.

Gonzales, on the other hand, is a career yes man who dishonored the United States and legitimized torture for the sake of expediency and client service, in addition to lying to congress and a host of other crimes of low integrity. His vote for Harris is welcome, but I can’t imagine he’ll bring anyone along and it does nothing to rehabilitate his well-deserved ignominy. 

It's very easy to tie a direct line from pretty much anyone in the Bush administration to Trump and Trumpism, but the US attorney scandal Gonzales oversaw definitely shouldn't be forgotten. That was the GOP's first real attempt to use the powers of the state to wage their political propaganda campaign about voter fraud.  That propaganda campaign has undermined the very foundations of American democracy in a way that may not be reparable.

That doesn’t work. What does work with persuadable or shaky Trump voters is that he’s too weak and emotionally fragile for the job. If he can get dog walked and pushed around by Kamala Harris on national television, how can he handle Putin? Regardless of his character or policy, he’s just not strong enough anymore.

if they argue tell them they sound like the Biden people in July.

 

seriously, it works because they know it’s true.

Don’t get overly aggressive with them. Then they feel attacked and be forced to vote for Trump again.

Watching the news last night they were discussing the issue of celebrity endorsements following Taylor Swift's post.  They commented that the Democrats have Swift but Republicans have their own celebrities and, indeed, they used Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock as their examples.

These evil fucks are playing the long game.

People who actually love this country should do so too.  Not just by opposing everything these fucking psychotic evil shitbags do, but my going after them and their money, personally, in every permissible way.  RUIN THEM.  RUIN THEM ALL.  They are waging war against our country.  You don't just repel an attack.  You counter-attack them where they stand, where they are based from.  You take out their financial support.  You level it.  All of it.  Then you fucking make the rubble bounce, just to be sure.

Never got the sense she was maga or maga adjacent. Speculation because she's from Iowa? Pretty sure nearly 100% of the misogonists who constantly feel the need to mock her and the WNBA are maga types. Like Swift, no loss of fandom, because there is no overlap.

It's no different than Swift pre-2018 - correct demographic, right part of the country; therefore, she's one of us!

This potential shutdown is literally so stupid by the GOP - 

You really want to shut down the government and put people out of work/ on furlough right when EV opens in a lot of states? 

 

[Js1 87174]

Young women will save us: https://news.gallup.com/poll/649826/exploring-young-women-leftward-expansion.aspx

Record 40% of 18-29 year old women identity as Liberal politically.

Among 18-29 year old women:

74% say that we need stronger restrictions on guns

60% say that abortion should be legal in MOST or ALL circumstances 

80% believe that the US needs to be stronger on the environment.

78% say that the environment is more important then the economy

86% say that climate change is human made.

This.  It never crossed my mind that anything about CC was "MAGA".  Agreed a massive stretch that she is losing any material chunk of her fanbase.  Not to mention her interview after liking the tweet was the typical athlete PC response that doesn't want to get drug into the political nonsense (which I completely respect)

I mean, I get it. I'll gladly take Dick's daughter. I'll welcome W is he ever grew a pair. But, before Trump, the answer to the question, "Who is the most reprehensible politician in recent memory?" was Dick Cheney. And then Dick Cheney a second time. I want to meet the person who's still defending that administration in 2024 that needs Dick Cheney's permission to jump over to the Democratic ticket for a black female. 

But I admittedly know shit about fuck, so the more the merrier.

I mean I have an MAGA acquaintence and he is so far gone that I only call him an idiot/moron 30 times a day without bothering to read the drivel, if he ever turned to the light I would legit freak out and question myself, because he is that stupid, Laura Loomer level of stupid.

Her audience is insanely MAGA, like literally the only reason they watch the WNBA is to make the woke crowd cry.
